Nine-month-old Franklin is a Great Pyrenees mix. He currently weighs 65 pounds so will likely top out around 100 pounds.
Franklin is terrific with kids, cats, and dogs of all sizes. He knows SIT and SHAKE, and doesn’t jump up on you (which is fab and also important given his potential future size).

Deja, six months, is a happy, friendly pup who’s already enjoying hanging out with other dogs at our center.
If we had to guess, she’s likely a shepherd/somethin’. (Honestly, if there was a breed to perfectly represent our area, Deja would be it. Just call her a Calaveras Shepherd.)

“Here’s a picture of Cowboy, now known as King Louie. He’s doubled in size and is still super cute. We love him.
“He’s King because he has four cats and 18 chickens to take care of.
“I think you all are the best. It was so awesome, the best experience!”

Come Sail Away with Styx!
Styx ADORES toys. In fact, he's a bit of a hoarder. He will merrily collect every toy available, moving them to his bed one by one, until he is King of All The Things.

Now that daylight saving time has ended, please keep in mind that wildlife doesn't consult a clock.
More of us will be driving during the times the critters have come to believe they are safe.

With that soda can for scale, you can see that Reuben is pretty teeny.
We predict an adult weight of 20-25 pounds. He has some dachshund-ish features with his sturdy build and kinda stubby legs.

Flower child Grace is living that 'no Timmys, no wells, just vibes' life and would love to hitch a ride in your VW Bus. (Subarus are acceptable as well.)
Grace is one-third Golden Retriever and we believe that part is behind her belief that dog hair is her glitter, and Joni Mitchell is a goddess.

Our recently adopted kitty with some neurological challenges. This tickled us to pieces!
“Hello! Wanted to give an update on Fairy. She has settled in nicely.
“She scurries about the house like a little dust ball so we've changed her name to Dusty. She’s a spoiled little kitty.”

This litter abandoned as newborns at at a local vet has been in one of our dedicated foster homes ever since. (That’s Bubba on the right making them feel welcome when they were new arrivals.)
We got to see and snuggle them Thursday when they came in for their six-week vaccines and a weigh-in.

“Simone was my first foster fail from CHS in 2020. Little did I know before fostering how easily they steal your hearts.
“Now she is the ‘mama’ to every litter: grooming, cuddling, litter box training. And when the fosters leave she is so sad, as though raising kittens is her purpose in life.”

They may look delightfully creepy, but they're a known hazard for birds and other wildlife.
