Dog of the Week: Barnaby (49880449)
Barnaby is a super cool dude who's getting very stressed in the shelter environment. He is very high-energy and should be adopted into a family that has a big backyard so he can endlessly play catch with his favorite tennis ball. He has met other dogs at the shelter with his same energy level and would love a buddy to play with in his furever home! Barnaby is two years old and 70 pounds, making him a great cuddle buddy and the perfect adventure partner. This cute boy has been at the shelter since March 31, 2022, and can't wait to have a loving family to call his own!
Cat of the Week: Birch (50772198)
Birch is an adorable 1-year-old Tabby that you'll just want to squeeze! He is very vocal and will loudly tell you exactly want he wants. When he's not taking a nap, he's typically asking for head scratches or to be cuddled. He loves playing with hair ties and any toy that has a feather attached (his favorite!). Birch hasn't been at the shelter too long, and hopes he will get adopted very soon!
