    Who Are Pet Celebrities?   The wonderful pets featured below are recommended by volunteers based on the most need, special
    circumstances, or  simply overlooked and waiting in shelters the longest.  Please give them your consideration.  Many never get a home.

    Mittens:          1.5 year old female, black and white, short haired. Mittens loves to flirt with people from inside her cage window, but becomes nervous and shy in person.  Beautiful girl, glowing black fur with striking white.  Small, she had kittens and is still getting used to this place and having her own life.  Sweet, but needs someone to understand her shyness - nervous when you try to grab her.  She needs to gain confidence and build trust with a family. When Mittens sees people she jumps in her condo and flirts with them through the window.  Wants love so much but nervous in person; I don't think it would take much for her to relax and love you.   At Webster PetSmart 
    4/16:  Mittens in now in the main shelter in Lyons.  Today she got her booster shot and her nails trimmed.  Call the shelter if interested.   (315) 946-3389


    Volunteer Vicki worked with her all Saturday  on 4/5 and texted me:  "Mittens is now pretty comfortable walking around the whole center and staying close by me wherever I am but still avoiding being touched. She loves people so much through her window, so I know she will be OK when she gets home. It’s not like she doesn’t want to be around humans. She needs a very patient person."  She also spent the day dragging all of the feather stick toys into her big condo.  At Webster PetSmart    4/16:  Mittens in now in the main shelter in Lyons.  Today she got her booster shot and her nails trimmed.  Call the shelter if interested.   (315) 946-3389

    Meet Halo, a stunning black and white kitty born 02/20/23. She is a shy kitty who is slowly gaining confidence in her interactions with humans.  Halo is a bit on the chubby side and loves Churus, which might be the secret to winning her heart. With patience, dedication, and trust, she will soon become a beloved member of your family.   To ensure her happiness, we suggest a peaceful setting with older children and no dogs, considering her timid demeanor. Halo does appreciate the companionship of other feline friends Ferals and Kittens and Cats Oh My

    		Andrew, born 9/26/24 is a delightful kitten, was discovered cold and starving in a hut at a feral colony within the city. Weighing just one pound, he possesses a sweet and outgoing disposition. Andrew is sociable with other cats, exhibiting an abundance of playfulness and happiness. He needs to go to a home with another cat as he loves to play and would get bored alone.

    Skylar is 3 years old, and she weighs just over 50 pounds. This beautiful girl has the most amazing half-blue / half-brown eyes! Skylar loves to run in our play yard, and play tug with a rope toy. Skylar is looking for a home without cats or small animals. She must meet any resident dog(s) in a potential new home, to make sure they get along. Here at the shelter, Skylar has shown the potential to get along with similar sized or larger dogs.Available for Adoption at the Humane Society of Wayne County, Lyons NY
    		 Thunder is 2 years old, and this big guy weighs just under 75 pounds. Thunder loves to run in our play yard, and to play tug with a rope toy. He knows how to sit and lay down for treats. Thunder is looking for a home without cats, and we think he'll do best in a home where the kids are older (12 and up recommended). Thunder must meet any resident dog(s) in a potential new home, to make sure they get along..    Available for Adoption at the Humane Society of Wayne County, Lyons NY

    		 Meet DOLLY (aka Llama), a 50-pound brindle beauty with a heart of gold and an abundance of energy. She is a smart pup who is crate and house trained, and knows her basic commands. She is working on leash walking and would benefit from ongoing training and exercise. Dolly's favorite pastime is zipping around a yard, splashing in pools, and chasing her favorite ball. She is full of energy and would thrive in an active home with a fenced-in yard to expend all that energy. Dolly is a natural swimmer and loves nothing more than playing in the water.

    Meet MUMBLES! Mumbles is a 3 year old cattle dog mix. He is such a affectionate pup but does require an owner who understands the needs of his active breed (heeler/cattle dog). Mumbles is still very much a puppy and is VERY active, he can jump high so we do require applicants to have a fully fenced in yard 5' or higher for him. Mumbles is very unsure of other dogs, so he would do best in a home where he could get all the love and attention for himself. Mumbles LOVES his humans, loves to play and would love a home to cuddle up by your side after a nice run in the yard. He does great with kids, responds to recall, and listens to commands. Mumbles is very obedient and eager to please his humans. Second Hand Dog Rescue   (585) 305-5111 Sparkles is a quiet Tortoiseshell kitty who loves treats. She has a striking coat pattern and her coat is super soft. Just look at those mint green eyes! She loves big, fluffy beds and she loves watching what is going on around her. Sparkles is shy and gets along with other cats. A kind, patient person would be ideal for Sparkles.

    MONTY, a striking 4-year-old Poodle-Husky mix, boasts a majestic white coat compli- mented by captivating blue eyes. (He is NOT hypo- allergenic and DOES shed!) Weighing in at 90 pounds, his presence is as grand as his heart. Monty is a testament to the harmonious blend of his breeds, inheriting the intelligence and elegance of the Poodle, along with the Husky's adventurous spirit and resilience.  Second Hand Dog Rescue   (585) 305-5111 PENNY was a last minute addition to our latest transport from Georgia death row - we saw her wagging tail and we walked by the kennel and hopeful look and smile and talked to the staff who said she was super sweet and a really nice dog, and we could not let her die. She's young like maybe just a year or so old and some kind of lab terrier mix maybe? Medium sized and a friendly pup..  Second Hand Dog Rescue   (585) 305-5111
    Hunter is a 13 week old adorable puppy who's such a sweetie and so fun! He's vetted to age he and his mom both look boxery, but we of course have no idea on what kind of dog dad was. Mom is just 35 lbs and he seems like he'll fall in the medium size range, as well. He is playful, friendly, and snuggly, and enjoys playing with the foster's other dogs, and his toys, as well as chewing on bones. He's going to make someone a GREAT addition to their family! He's vetted to age.  Second Hand Dog Rescue   (585) 305-5111 Meet Venti and Java, a bonded pair of Siamese female kittens! Venti is a beautiful seal point (black, cream, and brown colors), and Java has a stunning white, cream, and brown coat, with a tiny bit of black around her ears. They are both very attached to each other, which is why they absolutely must be adopted together. Once incredibly shy, these two have come a long way! Venti is very cuddly and active now, and she loves pets and rubbing up against people. Java is a bit more reserved than her sister and a little more cautious, but she also enjoys pets and likes having visitors come see her. If you are looking to adopt two beautiful cats together and are willing to give them the right combination of attention, space, and love to allow them to flourish and continue becoming more outgoing, please consider Venti and Java!    Animal Service League, Rochester, NY
