Not quite 2 y/o ROMA is up for adoption! Her previous owners had her shipped from HAWAII!! This little cross-country adventurer is a dream on a leash, but should not be left unattended in a fenced yard or otherwise -- she's an adventurer all around! Roma is great with the trifecta, however -- kiddos, kitties and other pups! She's already spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and ready to hula her way into your heart! She's gentle, playful and ADORES giving kisses! Take her home just in time to dress her up as a hula dancer for HOWL-OWEEN!

🎃🎃 Swing by to meet Roma at the shelter (we never require appointments) and SUBMIT THOSE APPLICATIONS ON OUR WEBSITE: https://svasc.net

We're open 11am-4pm, Monday-Saturday!

It's almost Meow-lloween! That means we need a little orange cat energy, right?? Tedrick is an adorable young guy looking for his forever home! He was tolerant, but barely, of being dressed up like an Ewok, but all things considered, he did great! 🤣

Tedrick is an active lil guy who will keep you endlessly entertained. You got lots of toys and one of those neat houses with all kinds of cat-friendly shelves and catios? NOT required, but he'd love that! Tedrick gets along with most kitties and would need to warm up slowly to pups, but kiddos should be fine!

Want to see Tedrick in person? Come visit him in our CAT ADOPTION ROOM! We're open 11am-4pm, Monday-Saturday! AND don't forget to submit an adoption application on our website: 🧸https://svasc.net

Where all the country music-blue heeler-lovin’ people at?? We’ve got Riley Green up for adoption! Now, we know he ain’t the real thing, but he’s just as cute, right??? This Riley would prefer a home with teenagers and adults only, LOTS of exercise (these are a herding breed, y’all) and meet & greets with other pups beforehand! Kitties are an unknown, but unlikely!

Apply to adopt RILEY GREEN on our website OR come visit him in person at the shelter! No appointments necessary!
