Dalee Delights
About a year ago, Dalee Strange started her company, “Dalee Delights,” to meet the growing demand for her homemade cake pops. These tasty treats are available at her family store, B.

She’ll offer nine flavors: Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Red Velvet, Lemon, Chocolate M&M, Chocolate Oreo, and S’More.

Sable came in with her sister as tiny kittens. Her sister was adopted several months ago and Sable has been patiently waiting for her turn. She has grown into a wonderful little lady and just turned a year old. Help her celebrate her birthday by giving her a loving home! Stop in this week to meet Sable. We are open Wednesday through Friday 3-7pm and Saturday 10am-2pm. If you are interested in adoption, please complete the online application before you come in to speed up the adoption process. We go in order of application received, so the sooner you get in your application, the better! Sable is one of our Special Pets and her entire adoption fee is waived to an approved applicant!
