Female | 5 years old | Hound Mix

Hi , I ’ m Freda ! I ’ m from a property in Arkansas that housed many dogs in one big yard . Now that I have my own space , I would rather not share my new family with another dog , but a cat might be okay . In the past , I had an injury to my right eye and now I have a scar there but I can still see . I also had a mild case of heartworm when I arrived but I have been treated for that . While being treated , I had to be kept calm , so now I love to run , jump and play ! I ’ m like a puppy so I ’ m too energetic for kids under 5 . As a hound I have a good bark so I ’ m not suited for an apartment , condo or town home . I stayed in a foster home during heartworm treatment and learned two things : I need to be crated when alone ( I can jump gates and like to chew shoes ) and I require a fenced yard because I will not go to the bathroom on leash . With these two things in place , house training will be much less stressful . I love my toys and I like to snuggle in bed with you at night . All I need now is a family !

Wizard Male | 5 years old | Samoyed

Wizard is a good natured guy who gets along with dogs and people alike . He likes activity , but he can also be a little lazy sometimes . Like a typical Samoyed , Wizard was a little stubborn when he first came to WSHS . He has now been through obedience training and did great ! He even worked through some food aggression and will now leave the bowl when told . If you are an experienced dog owner and like a dog who loves the cold weather and has a heavy coat , Wizard might just be for you . He is still learning so Wizard needs to live with kids that are at least 12 . Due to the breed ’ s strong herding instinct , cats are not a good fit . Wizard is currently attending a weekly obedience class and when he is adopted , his new family will need to finish the 6 week class held at WSHS . This gentle fluff-ball is a volunteer favorite at the shelter and will make an excellent companion !

Bambi Female | 12 years old | Tri-Color Tabby

Hi , I ’ m Bambi ! My original owners had to turn me over to animal control when their health was failing in 2011 . I had been loved and well cared for , but found myself in the system at age 7 . I was then brought to WSHS where I spent three months before finding my final family , or so I thought . Four years later in July of 2015 , I was returned to WSHS , my owner citing allergies ( an allergic family member was moving in ). At age 11 , I found myself homeless once again . All the folks here would love to see me permanently placed in a loving home . I am healthy , four-paw declawed , and better with older kids and prefer not to live with dogs . I would be perfect for a senior who just wants a little companionship . Come visit me to see what a lovely girl I am !

Gulliver Male | 4 years old | Black & White

I am one of four kittens born outside and one by one , our momma took us to the safety of a house where food was regularly provided to outside cats . It was like she was giving us to people , so we ’ d be safe . We stayed there until we were big enough to get adopted and that time is now . All of my siblings have been adopted , so it is my turn I hope real soon . I am more outgoing around other cats , so I need to live with another cat . I ’ d prefer a quieter home with older children or adults only . Come check me out , I ’ d love to make new friends !
