'Flannel'

Shelter staff anticipate that he would make an excellent mouser.
'Kikie'
“Kikie” is a female domestic short hair mix with a gray coat.
Shelter staff said Kikie was rescued from a very bad situation.
Despite that, she loves everyone, and would make a great addition to any family, staff said.
She also is house trained.
'Little Man'
“Little Man” is a male domestic short hair mix with a tabby coat.
“Little Man has a truly sad story. He deserves to know what it's like to have a real home with food and water available at all times,” according to shelter staff.
He is house trained and ready for a new family.
'Monkey'
“Monkey” is a domestic short hair mix kitten with a gray tabby and white coat.
“Monkey truly lives up to his name while 'hanging' out in his crate. He is starving for attention but doesn't cry about it,” shelter staff said.
He's also reported to be very fun and entertaining. He wants to play with all the big dogs at the shelter and gets covered in dog drool.
He's good with anyone and all other animals, staff said.
'Nala'
“Nala” is a young American Staffordshire Terrier mix with a short white coat and brown markings.
Shelter staff describe Nala as a sweet little girl who needs someone to love her.
She already is spayed and microchipped, and ready to join her new family.
'Nutmeg'
“Nutmeg” is a 5-month-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix with a brown brindle coat and white markings.
She is reported to get along with other dogs and with cats.
“She is a sweet baby looking for her forever home,” said shelter staff.
'Sunny'
“Sunny” is a male Akita and bull terrier mix with an all-white coat.
“Sunny has a sunshine like disposition,” according to shelter staff.
He gets along well with others, loves to go for walks and get treats, is great on a leash and is very mellow.
Sunny is a well-mannered dog and a gentleman at heart, shelter staff reported, adding that he would make a great companion for someone looking for a low maintenance pet.
He's ready to go to a new home, as he is fully housebroken, up to date on shots and neutered.
