Tail-Waggers
Merlin
Merlin is approximately 1 1/2 years old and has been neutered and fully vaccinated. Merlin is wary of new people, after being abandoned in an apartment. With a lot of patience, he has come around to being pet, but may take some time to warm up to people. He does not like to be picked up and held. Merlin occasionally “love bites” when he’s overstimulated or when he wants to be left alone, but he quickly relaxes if his space is respected. He would do best in a quiet, patient new home. Due to his temperament and personality, we would not be able to adopt him into a home with children.

Maggie
Maggie is almost 8 years old and weighs about 18 pounds. Maggie is very sweet, affectionate and friendly with everyone; she also gets along well with other dogs. She loves attention, and will need a home where she gets plenty of it. Maggie barks when someone comes to the front door or there is a squirrel in the yard, but is not a continuous barker. She loves to go for walks on a leash and especially spend time outside with her people. She rides well in cars. She is house-trained and uses a dog door. Maggie would do best in a home where someone works from home. She has been spayed and microchipped, and her vaccinations are current.

Luna
Luna is 7 months old.
She would do best in a family with older children and may be a little shy at first, but is very outgoing once she gets comfortable. She gets along well with other cats. She is not used to dogs or small children.
Luna’s vaccinations are up to date, she has tested negative for FeLV/FIV, and she has been altered. Luna is housetrained and is an inside-only cat.
