HONEY, a two-year old Rottweiler mix: When I arrived I was like a lot of software people buy. I like to think I was Honey version 1.0--with a good foundation, but still a few bugs to work out. At RVHS Tanya has taken me under her wing and taught me how to be one of the most social dogs here. The staff proudly watch me refine my skills daily. I crave leadership, I would make a great jogging partner, I love lounging in a wading pool, I am known to be a lap dog, I share my toys--I have all these great qualities. Right now I am Honey 5.0-- what heights will we reach together?

 

 

FEATURED FELINE
Cats Seeking a New Home

We have many cats and kittens who are given a temporary safe haven while waiting for their new home. When they first arrive they are tested for feline leukemia and aids. They are then treated with Drontal to kill tapeworm and Revolution® to kill fleas, ear mites, roundworm, and hookworm and to prevent heartworm. They are also vaccinated for feline Panleukopenia, Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Chlamydia and Leukemia. If old enough to be spayed or neutered an appointment is made with the vet [it can take up to two weeks to get the procedure scheduled). If a kitten is too young to be spayed or neutered and someone wants to adopt him or her, they then become part of our Foster-to-Adopt program and remain under RVHS supervision until altered and officially adopted. Otherwise, the kitten and/or their litter mates will be placed in a foster home until they reach the required age and weight and can then be spayed or neutered and adopted out to their new family. The total value of the standard care a cat receives while at our shelter is estimated at $ 170.00.

A couple of these cats have been here over a year and deserve a home to call their own. Each one of these precious felines was brought here with the hope he or she would find a new family quickly, but for some reason that just didn't happen. Perhaps they were the wrong size or color or were just too shy to make a good first impression. Please take some time to spend with them and perhaps one [or even two) will find a place in your heart and home.

 

Tigger is a very special boy who has been with us 2 years. He was in a house fire which has made him a little shy but he is sweet and beautiful and likes other cats too.
