Donovan is a 3-year-old, 84 pound, mixed breed male that was rescued from euthanasia. He is very outgoing and playful. He loves to meet new people and would love to find a family with older children because he sometimes forgets how big he is and he loves to give bear hugs.

Nova is a 3-month-old, 4 pound spayed, active rat terrier mix who needs proper exercise and training. When not in a fenced yard, Nova will need to be harnessed so she does not dart away after a rabbit or squirrel.

Hershey, 2, is not only a looker; she is an amazing girl with a solid temperament. She is quiet in her cage, you can touch any part of her wiggly body, she is toy motivated and will give up a toy with no problem. She is affectionate, not food aggressive and takes treats gently. She seems to do well with most other dogs and didn't seem fazed by the cats.
