Smokey wasn’t dumped, and he wasn’t abandoned, he was a well-loved cat that sadly came in due to an aging owner. The beauty mark on his left ear is just a birth defect. He came in with his sister Melody and his whole world was turned upside down.

Pet of the Week
It’s Oreo’s time! He has been with us now for 540 days. Pulled from death row at a kill shelter, he's about 2 1/2 years old, a large mixed breed and weighs 50 pounds. When you first come in, you might notice that Oreo can jump, but once you get him out, he is a gentle boy. When you sit down, he wants to sit near you or on you if you let him. He really is a love bug! It's easy to overlook dogs like Oreo because of their kennel behavior. But, we urge you to get to know their real person alities outside the shelter kennel.
