Dumped…dumped again. Animals are left abandoned in homes or dumped at the shelters every day. Moving, behavior issues, financial difficulties…all reasons pets are left behind. Now-a-days there are answers for all your worries so there is no need to get rid of your four-legged pal.
Moving to a place that doesn’t allow pets? Don’t! There are many companies out there to help you find an affordable place that lets you bring along your furry friend. Can’t afford that surgery for Fido? Get help! There are numerous groups that assist people in need who can’t afford medical care for their animals. Finding smelly surprises? Call a pet behaviorist. Most problems with pets are very easy to resolve once you understand the cause of their bad behavior. Don’t give up on your pet. They never give up on you!

Sarah
Impound # 1069860 Calico Domestic Short Hair Cat 4 mo, 3 lbs I’m Sarah and as beautiful as can be. I was dumped at the shelter because my mom had too many kittens so we all got the boot. Now I have to stay in the shelter which is very depressing. I do love my shelter-mates though and love, LOVE people. Please come adopt me. I’m very lonely in here and want nothing more than a lifetime companion.
Honeycomb
Impound # 1069704 Bunny 8 mo, 3 lbs My name is Honeycomb. I’m very pretty and am looking for someone to love. My previous home didn’t take care of me. They said they didn’t want to be responsible for my well-being so I got dumped. I love everyone I meet and especially love being hugged. Please don’t forget about me, bunnies need homes too.
Candy
Impound # 1071822 German Shepherd Mix 1 yr, 34 lbs I’m Candi and am STUNNING. I was dumped at the shelter because my previous guardian didn’t want to take care of me anymore. They left me in the yard all day so I would escape. What do you expect when you leave me alone and never give me attention! I’m incredibly sweet, love walks, am great with dogs and LOVE all humans. I’m quite playful and am looking for someone to love me forever!
Rooney
Impound # 0706164 Shih Tzu 6 yrs young, 16 lbs How cute am I? I’m Rooney—a very handsome little guy. I was dumped because my guardian thought I deserved a better home. Her grandkids picked on me and played too rough. I am a total love bug, a lap dog, your shadow and loyal companion for life! I love all animals and people and need to find a forever friend.
More great treasures…

No name
Impound # 1071832 Terrier Mix 1 yr, 11 lbs. I’m a cute little guy with no name who came to the shelter as a stray. I need a good grooming but am told I’m still so handsome. I love ALL animals and humans I meet. I’m the perfect companion. Please come adopt me.
Murphy
Impound # 1061759 Brown Tabby Short Hair Cat 3 yrs, 12 lbs I’m Murphy a handsome cat who was found on the streets all alone. I remind people of Garfield with my round cheeks!
