Meet Cuddi! This special guy is big and beautiful... just look at those beautiful amber eyes! Cuddi is a low-key senior guy looking for his retirement home as a solo dog.

Cuddi is a Special Care pet due to arthritis and medication that manages his anxiety. While on the medications, you would never know he had a history of being a nervous guy!

Story
Meet Oso! This gentle boy was brought to us when his previous owner could no longer keep him. They told us that he knows several commands and loves to show them off. He is still young, so he would love to go to a home where he can continue learning manners and continue to be the best dog he can be! He plays nice and loves everyone! His previous family included children, and the family told us he is good with kids of all ages, but as always we recommend a slow introduction to ensure that Oso is setup for success! If you are interested in meeting Oso, come on down to Anti-Cruelty today!

Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Thor is a gentle, sweet-natured boy who’s just waiting for the right person to help him shine. He may need some time to come out of his shell, but once he feels comfortable, his loyal and loving personality really begins to show. Thor would do best in a calm, low-key home where he can relax and build confidence at his own pace. He would be a devoted companion to someone willing to give him that time and patience. Thor does have a few ongoing care needs, including regular ear cleanings for his left ear and continued support from a private veterinarian. He may also have some allergies that will need to be monitored over time. With a consistent routine and a little extra care, he can continue to feel his best. If you’re looking for a quiet, loyal friend and have a peaceful home to share, Thor might just be your perfect match.

Story
Turkey is an eight month old German Shepherd mix who I brought home almost 4 months ago. At first, everything was perfectly fine. I believe now looking back it was due to his size, as he has grown, turkey and my cat (who I’ve had almost 5 years) have gotten increasingly aggressive, and at this point I find it to be intolerable. I feel bad for both my cat and my dog but seeing as I’ve had my cat for longer, I think I have to make the decision to let go of turkey. This is said with a heavy heart. Turkey is a very good dog who is very good with other dogs kids and other humans. He is very well potty trained. He doesn’t really enjoy his crate but he does have crate time When I have to go to work. He is pretty timid at first but once he’s comfortable he’s COMFORTABLE. My schedule and day to day life is also seeming to be incompatible with what turkey needs and deserves. I’m looking for a loving home with preferably a backyard and plenty of time to spend with turkey
