I’m searching for a wonderful home to adopt my dog, Otto.  My living condition has changed and I love him very much and I want him to have a happy life.  He’s neutered, micro-chipped, and has current rabies shots.  His personality is unique, and everyone he meets compliments his great behavior, shiny coat, or mellow mood.  He’s great on the leash and doesn’t run away if released.

If he’s inside, he lets you know when it’s time for him to go out.  He likes to “sing” instead of bark, especially when it’s feeding or walking time.  He’s a great protector and only barks when he feels it’s necessary.   He’s the perfect dog, but is frightened by loud sounds, like gunshots or lightning, and needs to be comforted when upset.  I want him to have a home with plenty of space and loving owners who are home most of the time.  Inquiries may call (505) 860-1336.  (8/25/10)

Peaches is a sweet, 8-9 year old smaller cat who needs a new home due to owner's allergies.  Peaches needs a special person or couple to care for her.  She does not do well with kids and likes the companionship of two people at most.  She is very sweet, loving and attentive, likes to sleep with you, cuddle and be held, but only on her terms.  She'll come to you but doesn't like to be picked up.  Peaches has no front claws so will need to be an indoor cat.  She is completely potty trained and is up to date on all her shots, etc.

If you'd like to meet Peaches, call Christine Chaney at 707-499-3998.  Thank You!

Emma Golddog is a smart, strong, energized five year old working (but not trained as) herding dog.  She is lookoing for a home and work as she would be most happy on a ranch, and has guard dog potential.  She is loyal and protective and therefore is edge with strangers.  She would not be a good dog for young kids.  She generally gets along with other dogs (just ask about her at It's All About The Dogs in Eureka).  She loves to fetch and is kennel and house trained.

Contact Misty at It's All About The Dogs, 707-444-9663  (7/10/10)

Annie is a very friendly Golden Lab/Border Collie mix, about 6 years old.  She loves her peole, is great with kids and her kitties and gets very excited with other doggies are around.  She is not aggressive at all, and needs to live in a place that she can safely run around, a large back yard or a farm.  She knows some voice commands and is playful as can be.

Would you like to meet her?  Call 707-441-0944 or 707-601-5319 and we'll make arrangements!  (7/10/10)

Tassy is a spayed female, approximately 5 years old.  She has three legs (although you can't tell in the photo).  She desperately needs a nice home or barn where she can be out of the elements.  She is a clip-eared cat (meaning she was trapped as a feral cat and spayed).  Tassy responds to lots of affection and care.  She is currently being given temporary shelter and food at Lima's Pharmacy in McKinleyville.

Tassy is a lovely cat and would love to be your lap cat.  Anyone out there willing to give her a home?  Contact Patty at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . (6-02-10)

Pepper (black & white) and Abby (tan & white) are six year old females, half Pit Bull and half Blue Heeler, and both spayed. They are friendly, active, energetic and loyal girls who engage in rambunctious play together. They would be ideal companion(s) for a property owner, naturally attuned to their environment and intuitive to real threats to farm animals. Their sensitivity to other dogs varies from dog to dog. They were not raised with children.

Their owner is moving and needs to find a loving home for them. Free to good home. If you would like to meet Pepper and/or Abby, please call Kim at 707-496-0391.

Callie is a 1-yr old purebred (no papers) Australian shepherd, red merle with copper points and white trim, with one blue and one brown eye. She is spayed, healthy, vet checked, and her vaccinations are current.

Callie's owner is elderly and recently experienced health complications. Callie and her brother were attached by dogs in early April, and although she is healing rapidly and well, her owner realizes that it is in Callie's best interest to find a new home/family that can spend quality time with her. A cat free home is preferred.

Callie will benefit from some obedience basics, but is a fast and willing learner who is VERY eager to please. Callie is an enthusiastic, energetic, loyal and sweet young dog who has the potential to be an excellent companion. Free to good home that can provide the time, direction and attention she deserves.

Serious inquiries only, please. Call 707-839-8123.

Moochie is a black & white short haired kitty needing a new home. We think he might be close to 6 years old. He is fully vaccinated and neutered. We took him in when his previous owner moved, but he's terrified of dogs. Consequently he sometimes urinates on his bed although he is litter box proficient. The vet says the urination problem is due to stress, from our dogs.

Moochie is a super loving kitty with a mellow demeanor. He's great with children. He's a bed kitty and is at his happiest having his belly rubbed under the covers, and spending time sitting in the window. I would love to find a fantastic, cuddly, dog-free family home for Moochie. Please, can you help? For serious inquiries, please call 707-839-5863.

Loki is a happy, athletic Newfoundland/Lab mix, 80 pounds, age 5+ years, and neutered. He is affectionate, loving and well trained. He sleeps and spends much of his time inside, but does spend long periods of time outdoors as well. He's been an only pet, seems to be good with children but has none in his present home, and probably would be best in a home without cats.

Loki has had regular vet visits, is licensed and up to date on all vaccinations. He comes with an outdoor house and blanket, collar and leash, toys, and his indoor bed. He's very playful but careful and mindful of being gentle. He responds to hand and verbal commands. Loki is very tolerant of grooming and bathing. He is a beautiful, affectionate animal and gets compliments from everyone who sees him.

Loki's owner is in difficult circumstances and needs to gift Loki to a wonderful human who will love him well. For information, contact Kristie Martinez at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Zora has been characterized by her Del Norte County Shelter caretaker as "the sweetest dog there is!" She is medium sized and looking for a nice family to lavish love on her. We believe she is a Chow mix, about 7 years old. Stocky and short, she could trim down a bit and would weigh some 50 pounds at normal weight. Looking like a teddy bear, Zora is friendly, happy, easy going, quiet and gentle.

She gets along with other dogs although she wants them to respect her. A home without kitties is best as she's intensely interested in pursuing them. She was taken from the Del Norte County Shelter in order to save her life, and she is in foster care in Eureka. Zora loves to go out on walks and explore. She is crate trained. Her hips are a bit stiff and she will need her teeth cleaned. Otherwise, she is in great health, perky and wanting to be part of leisurely activities. She is a perfect companion for people who are home a lot and who live a moderately active life.

To meet Zora, contact Jean at 707-839-3148. Adoption application approval and fee will be required. Zora is up to date with routine shots, house trained and spayed.

Chloe is a precious little 4 year old long haired Chihuahua mix. Chloe has special needs, resulting from a brutal kick in the back which she endured around New Years. She was rescued from an abusive home and signed over to K9-Angels and has been under the care of a veterinarian. Her prognosis is bright, she has been fitted with a little wheel-chair cart and is learning how to be mobile with it. Chloe is still recovering from the emotional trauma of the abuse, and so is cautious and quiet.

K-9 Angels requests a modest adoption fee. If any of you is inclined to give this sweet, precious little girl a second chance at life, please contact Gail at 707-496-4589 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Sassy is about 50 lbs, longer haired than her Gordon Setter mom, and we're not sure about her dad, but he might have been a German Shepard. She was born in June 2008, she is good with other dogs and kids and people. She's never been around cats. She's mostly been outside but comes in the laundry room at night and has never had an accident there. She's a very active dog, she needs some work on her leash as she likes to pull. She's very energetic and is always waiting at the back door with her tail wagging. She does like to dig. Sassy's been fixed, is up to date on all her shots and has been microchipped.

Curly is Sassy's sister but she doesn't look like it! She is 40 lbs, has short hair, and when she was born her tail was crooked -- it almost looks like it's been broken, but it hasn't, it's fine. She is good with other larger dogs but might not be trustworthy around little dogs as she pounces when she plays and doesn't seem to know her boundaries. She probably wouldn't hurt cats but would likely chase them. She is even more energetic than Sassy, she loves to play tetherball, she can jump high and needs a tall fence and some work learning to stay off people, as well as work on the leash. She is also microchipped and up to date on shots.

I would love to see them go together just because it is hard enough for me to let them go. I think they would be fine, they just need someone who has more time for them than I can give.

Please call or email Katey at 707-496-5289 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Thank you!

Purr Purr is a mild-tempered five year old cat. She has been spayed and is up to date on her shots. She has been an indoor-outdoor cat. She would love to sleep on your bed if you let her. She would do best as an only cat or with a male cat.

Xenia and Chris Woods, (707) 441-9167. Thank you!

Boomer was picked up with an obviously broken leg, and taken to the shelter after a vet looked at the leg and determined that the leg could not be casted, and would need to be operated on.

A collaborative effort between the Humboldt County Animal Services Shelter, BONES, the Sequoia Humane Society, Friends for Life, a generous, discount from the vet, as well as donations from the community, made it possible for Boomer to leave the shelter, get treatment for his leg, get neutered and get up to date on shots.

When the vet tried to pin the leg, he found the injury was actually about three weeks old. Because of the age of the injury, there was not choice but to amputate Boomer's leg.

Boomer has adjusted quite well to having only three legs to tool around on, and loves to play. He is still learning not to get tangled in his leash and fall over, but other than that he is a very fun loving puppy who is looking for a great home to spend the rest of his life in.

Boomer is a neutered 5 month old male, who is up to date on shots. Boomer went to the pet fair at the Farm Store and met many dogs and people of all sizes and loved them all. He is a totally solid dog! Even when Boomer has been in pain, he continues to be very loving and forgiving - this very special boy needs an equally special home!

Bruno & Bean - Need some good company? Our owner must work out of town from the end of May until early October. We're looking for a good, quiet home with a little access to the outdoors and a human we can love. We're both fixed. We could either come or live with you permanently, or we could work out a Kitty Time Share agreement. Our love is boundless and we'll have a summer owner and a winter owner. There's no one like us to make your house a home!

Yours Sincerely,

Bruno (8-yr. old female - in the tux) and Bean (3-yr. old male). Call (707) 822-0240.

Mika is 1/2 Lab, 1/4 Wolf and 1/4 Malamute female. She is only a 1 year and 4 months old. Mika is a very sweet and loving dog. She is pretty hyper, but tries to please. She is not house-broken, and needs a fenced-in yard to run. She has never showed any aggression at any other animals or people. She is still young so she is still growing; it is best she not be around small children, since she is still a child herself.

Mika needs a loving home with a lot of room and no available livestock. She has never attacked any, but she loves to run with them so she scares them. She is still young enough to train, but I just never have the time for her.

Mika has a few quirks, she loves to sit in her dog food so other animals can't eat it. She also loves to sit on feet, and piddles if she gets too excited around new people. I have had her since she was a puppy, but she needs a good home with someone to give her lots of love and attention.

If you are interested in Mika please call Meagan at either home (707)786-9217 or cell (707) 218-5165. Thank you.
