Cat of the Week – JENNY

Age: 9 years

Color: Gray & Tan

Breed: Domestic Shorthair Mix

Gender: Female

Adoption Fee: $45

"We were like peas and carrots, Jenny and I." That is one of my all-time favorite movie lines. Hi, I'm Jenny, and I like to think someday soon I'll find somebody special who's the peas to my carrots. Except maybe we can change it to something tastier...like tuna and chicken...yum! Anyway, I love getting head scratches and playing with wand toys and lasers. I've met a few cats here at the shelter and seem to enjoy being around them so I think having kitty siblings would be pretty cool. If you think I could be the furry friend that makes your life complete, come meet me today!

Wanna play? Jump in the pool for a game of Marco...POLO! Just watch out, you're gonna fall in love. Polo is your typical, super sweet, fun-loving, 4-year-old Rottie.

Polo seems to be fine with other dogs and can't wait to engage them to play. Marco? No, POLO!!

Pet of the Week – BONGO

Age: 4 years

Color: Grey & White

Breed: Domestic Shorthair Mix

Gender: Female

Adoption Fee: $25 (thru 7/31/23)

Do you have a leaky faucet? You humans are funny about these things. You always have to be like, "better call a plumber" when all you really need is a kitty like me who loves lapping up the drops! I'm Bongo and while I'm wild about water, I'm also crazy 'bout children. Yep, little humans are kinda my thing. Maybe it's because I had a litter of little ones myself, but now that they're all adopted, I miss having kids around. I also love to cuddle and will rub against you endlessly for love. You may wake up with a crick in your neck, but you’ll never sleep better with me by your side. I'm pretty perfect! I'm ready to put my best paw forward and join a family, so if you've made it this far and are still reading, you've got to come check me out!

Cleopatra is a 5 year old Mastiff Mix.

She's a gentle giant weighing over 100 lbs with a nub that never stops wagging!

Her favorite thing to do is roll around in the grass during a walk while soaking up the sunshine.

She has done well with other dogs in the shelter. In fact, we choose her for dog testing to see how a new dog feels about having a friend!

She prefers gentle canine friends as she has a calm demeanor.

She would do best with children 10 and over due to her size.

If you are interested in meeting Cleopatra, please send us a message or call (410) 441-2040.

My name is Patch! I am a 2 year old Boxer Mix.

I am a gentle and sweet soul! I will provide lots of laughter to my new family!

In return, I only ask for a couple of things...

Lots of tennis balls are a must- I almost always have one in my mouth just waiting for you to play a game of fetch with me.

And I love other dogs! I would prefer to go home home with another dog as I am most comfortable when I have a dog pal near by.

I am doing well with the kitty in my foster home.

Due to my sensitive nature, I would do best in a quieter home to help me build confidence.

I would do best in a home with older children as I may knock a little one down.

Dog of the Week – BUDDY

Age: 6 years

Color: Black, Brown & White

Breed: Foxhound Mix

Gender: Male

Adoption Fee: Waived

A-roooo! That's hound language and means, "hello, I'm super excited to meet you!" My name is Buddy, and I'm a super-sweet middle aged guy who loves to howl, sniff and explore everything, but who can blame me? I'm a hound! I'm pretty relaxed around other dogs and children, but when it comes to cats, I show just a little too much interest and try to chase them. You might also notice my skin is a little red, but it's just an allergy that I came in with. The good news is, I enjoy taking medicated baths, and in no time, I'll be in tip-top shape! Serious companions can inquire and shower me with love weekdays from 11-6, Saturdays from 10-5, or Sundays from 12-4. Woof!

Gimme a soccer ball, then sit back, relax and enjoy the show! Hi there, I'm Rocco and I'm kinda obsessed with those round orbs you call a ball. They never sit still and I could chase them all day! And the shelter staff is kinda obsessed with my ears! I'm a muscular, athletic guy who's really just a big, mushy, lap-loving teddy bear. Not to brag or anything, but I'm also pretty smart. I know the commands for Sit, Give Paw, Stay & Down. I'm really excited to meet you and show off my skills!

Gender: Male

Adoption Fee: $16 (all March)

Roses are red and violets are blue, I can't wait to be adopted and spend my life with you! Hello there, I'm Sidney, a 1-year-old with the most beautiful (and unique) markings down my back. The shelter staff think I might be mixed with Catahoula Leopard Dog, but I don't care about all that. I care about (in no particular order) having my belly rubbed, squeaky toys, food, and going for walks. I like to play with other fun-loving dogs, and I love kids, especially ones that don't mind kisses ???? They tell me I'm a special boy because I have 3 legs, but honestly, I don't even realize I'm special. I get around just like any other dog! Please make the drive to the shelter and talk to the staff about meeting me. It'll be the best thing you ever do, promise!

**ALL DOGS over 1 years and older for the month of March are just $16...which includes Sidney!!!

SPOT

Age: 6 years

Color: Black & White

Breed: Mixed Breed

Gender: Male

Adoption Fee: $16 (all March)

Do you feel that in your chest? That’s Spot and he’s tugging on your heart

One of our volunteers took Spot home for a week and during that time, here’s what she wants you to know:

Spot is completely house-trained. He knows to potty outside and could be trusted to free-roam our house when we were not home. Even though he has spent months in the shelter, he didn't have any accidents in our home! He is also crate-trained and didn't mind sleeping in his crate (all curled up on lots of blankets) overnight.

Spot is very smart and attentive. He knows "sit" and is working on "down". He knows "look at me" and always keeps one eye on you when out playing in the yard. Despite being deaf, he was picking up hand signals quickly and was easy to recall when we wanted him to come back inside.

He loves napping on the couch. A perk of being deaf is that he could happily nap the day away despite whatever we happened to be doing.

He was great for the groomer. We took Spot for a spa day to help him to look and feel his best, and the groomer said he was excellent!

Spot is super dog-friendly!

Even though he's 6 years old, Spot enjoys playing fetch. He's super gentle with stuffed toys, and didn't tear them up. He would even take his toys and pile them in his crate for safe keeping (super cute). We found that Spot can quickly go through a Himalayan cheese chew, but the elk antlers worked really well for him.

If you're looking for a bird-watching partner, Spot is all in. When he wasn't napping on the couch, Spot would sit at the window and watch the birds at our bird feeder

Since Spot is deaf, he will need to find a forever home without any children. His ideal home would also not have any cats since he likes to chase them. Spot does pull on the leash when he first goes out for a walk. However, he does settle down and will walk calmly. We think that once he has more consistency in his forever home, he will get much better at walking on a leash.

Spot is the sweetest, silliest boy I've met. It's hard not to fall in love with him. He's had a rough start to life and deserves the best home. If you're interested in adopting Spot, please come for a visit – and if you can't adopt at this time, please share to help Spot find his forever home!

Do you think we're gonna get any snow this year? While we'd love to see the world covered in a big pile of the white stuff, it's okay if it never snows cuz we've got each other! I'm Nellie, and me and my brother Nash are 1-year-old Huskies who were found running loose in a state park! But now we're here and as you can see from our pics, we're doing just fine. Together we're a blast and will engage in serious wrestling sessions that will have you grinning from ear to ear. I like to sleep with my face smushed against something or with my legs in the air! Nash is definitely the straight man to my comical self! We love each other so much and I just couldn't imagine life without my brother, so we must be adopted together. Please come for a visit and witness for yourself the pure joy we create.

????Ahoy Matey’s???? 

My name is Captain Jenny and I am a true pirate! Like most pirates, I found myself lost at sea in a little town called Chesapeake City. Thankfully my friends at CCAS came to my rescue and have proven to be a seaworthy crew. Sadly, I’ve been at CCAS for almost a year:( 

I am a seasoned pirate at the age of 8 and have survived the “ruff” seas. I am looking to retire these tired bones and seek the ultimate treasure.... a FAMILY and a home of my very own!

My ideal home would include no other pets or a docile male canine companion to pal around with. I also wouldn’t mind little pirates that are 10 and over. I am available for adoption or through our Sunset Foster Program! Our Sunset Foster Program helps place senior pets and those with long term medical needs. Pirates included! 

If you want to meet a pirate pup like me, call on my friends at CCAS! They can be reached at (410)441-2040 or you can send them a message! 

?? Shiver me timbers I’ll be awaiting your call??
