Chelsea is looking for her forever home to do her favorite thing … sit on her bed and just look pretty. This senior gal has a gorgeous coat with a tail to match. She is a shepherd-mix, quiet and shy at first. Chelsea loves to go for short walks, have a treat or two and look pretty. She is good with other dogs and has no known health issues. And her birthday is just around the corner. Chelsea will be 10 years old on Feb. 11. Her wish is to have her own quiet home for the rest of her life.

BoomerBoomer just can’t believe he has lived at ARF for almost a whole year now. His birthday is Feb. 27, and even though he will be a year old, he still is a playful, mischievous kitty. He has bravely said goodbye to his brothers and sisters, and being the youngest of the cattery, has had to take matters into his own paws. So flipping the cat toys up in the air, scrambling to catch them and tossing them across the room keep him busy. Let’s give Boomer his birthday wish to have his very own home and human.
