Featured Dog
Meet Freya
Meet Freya! This 2 year old energetic dog is waiting to be your one and only! Freya is an energetic, smart and playful pup that is looking for a special forever home where she can be your one and only pet. She loves to play with her toys and zoom around the yard. Freya would be great for a home with an active lifestyle where she can play, learn new skills and then cuddle up with her special someone for some snuggle time.
Earning the way to Freya’s heart starts with a good game of chase with her favorite toys. Followed by a bunch of treats and a quick nap, preferably curled up along your side so she can get all the pets!
Freya loves people and will jump and wiggle her way into your heart, but she would prefer to be the only four-legged friend that earns your attention and love. If you think Freya would be a great match for you, visit the shelter today to meet this amazing pup.


Featured Cat
Meet Matilda!
Meet Matilda! Odds are if you have visited the shelter in the last several months you may have already encountered sweet Matilda. Matilda is our unofficial greeter at Pet Helpers, welcoming every one who passes by with a friendly meow from her private screened in patio.
This chatty cat loves to be the center of attention and will entertain you with her silly, playful antics in order to win you over for a pet or two. Don’t fret, Matilda also loves her quiet time where she can cuddle up for a nap in a nice sunny spot, or better yet in your lap earning all your affection.
If you think Matilda would be the perfect addition to your home, come visit the shelter to meet this adorable kitty. She would love nothing more than to spend her days with you! What do you say?
