Can you believe that someone could abandon such a handsome dog? That’s what happened to Clay, until our Humane Officers rescued him and brought him. And boy oh boy, was he happy to see them! He wiggled his way right into their van and right into our hearts. Clay is the perfect doggie age. He’s past the crazy puppy nipping, he has a calm presence with his handler, but still can play and romp with the best of them. We have learned so much about Clay since he’s been going to a specialty training class with one of his favorite volunteers. When Clay first arrived, he wasn’t fond of his dog neighbors. But now after 2 months of classes, Clay has realized that being around other dogs isn’t so scary. He has learned to respond calmly to other dogs by wearing a Gentle Leader and has even become the “example” dog in his class. The newbies follow Clay’s lead to see how they’re supposed to behave! This guy does his SITS like a champ and is very attuned to the person at the other end of the leash, especially when that person has a yummy treat. It’s amazing to think that someone left such an obedience star behind, You should see how Clay runs over the agility course and follows the commands of his leader with confidence and ease. Aside from his mastery of obedience, Clay is also a snuggle bug. He’s so confident in is manhood that he readily confesses to enjoying kisses on his forehead from the ladies. If you look closely, you can sometimes see a bit of lipstick left behind! Please visit Animal Friends to inquire about Clay!

BUTTERSCOTCH
Hello, I’m Butterscotch, and as you can tell, I’m quite sweet! (Okay, I’ll stop with the jokes now).
I’m a spayed domestic shorthair who loves living with people; the only problem is, my owners left! They moved somewhere that I couldn’t go, which left me here at Animal Friends. Don’t get me wrong; it’s a great place, but I’d really prefer a nice home to snuggle up in. I especially love playing with laser pointers. Oh, and I hope you like having a sleeping buddy at night!
The one thing you should know: You can’t see it in my picture, but my right eye was removed due to an ulcerative problem. It doesn’t affect me at all – maybe a little loss of depth perception, but otherwise I’m a great, fun-loving kitty. Can you find a place for me in your home? Visit Animal Friends to inquire about me.

BORIS
Friendly and affectionate nine-year old yellow lab, Boris, has quickly become a favorite with Animal Friends’ volunteers. Whether out for a walk, or just sitting quietly, Boris is an attentive, engaging companion who will melt your heart with his easy-going smile and happy-go-lucky demeanor.
A social guy, Boris not only adores human companionship, but also enjoys other dogs, and he may even tolerate a cat! Though he seems to love everyone, Boris is an older dog who doesn’t play much, so he’d probably be happier in a home with older children. If you think Boris might be loving companion you’re looking for, why not stop by Animal Friends and have one of the Adoption Counselors introduce you.
Garage-Girl Christie
Fellow enthusiast Christie Brimmier invited us down to hang out in her garage to get to check out her Custom Sportster
and to get to know what she’s all about. During our time with Christie we got to see out what other lady riders are doing to their bikes and how they enjoy spending quality time with family hangin’ out in the garage.
BLACKCURRENT
You know those old Hollywood movies where they walk into the jungle and hear all kinds of strange animal sounds? Once you’ve met me, you’ll think I was the one making all those noises! I’m Blackcurrent, one of the cats here at Animal Friends. I’m one of the funniest vocal cats you’ll ever meet. Sometimes I meow, sometimes it’s a high-pitched “rowr,” or maybe even a guttural peep that you’d swear came from a jungle animal! I’m fun and very active too; I love to play! I do like to come to you; I’m not one for being picked up and handled unless I’m ready for it. So I’d do best with older kids or people who understand that I’m not always a lap kitty. But I am a fun, funny companion to have around the house! Visit Animal Friends to meet me!
