Susie Has a New Home…..

Meet Susie – Susie was adopted from Adirondack Save-A-Stray. She is approximately 5 &1/2.  She was very timid when I adopted her.  I take her to work every day and being around people has helped bring her out of her shell.  She is a well behaved and calm dog.  Susie only barks when she is happy to see someone.  I adopted a cat two months after I got her, and they are best friends.

Skye

She probably got her name for her love of sitting in any available window looking out at the Sky. A petite young 1 1/2 yo spayed female. She loves being petted or sitting in your lap being slowly brushed. Skye is a little timid when she first meets someone and sweetly hides her face in your hand when she’s scared and wants to feel safe. Skye gets along with children and other cats but has yet to meet a dog. Lucky will be the owner that Skye chooses to adopt.

Sarge has found a foster home and is doing great. He loves going to work with them. They also take him jogging and hiking with them. He was very underweight but has put on 5 lbs! We also found out that he's housetrained. Sarge is going to a make great addition to someone’s family.
