Tobey..an older fellow, needs a home, yours?

Hi, Tobey here! I'm a yellow English lab and I am a big boy. When I first came to the shelter, I weighed 130 pounds. But, I've worked hard at losing weight and am now down to 114 pounds. I like kids over 12; I get rambunctious and don't want to knock the little ones down. Being 7 years old, I am considered a senior dog, but I am still pretty frisky and playful for an 'old' guy. Hey, older is better anyway, right? I can be found at the Portage APL.

Jonie the Cat Needs Her Own Home...Yours?

I am a young long haired cat that needs to have all the attention from my family (I do not share well).

If you have no pets now and you are looking for someone special, I’m it!



Seth - Portage Animal Protective League

Seth is the brother of Spot and Dallas and came to the shelter after being abandoned at 10 weeks old in late May 2007. Seth is looking for a home where he can stretch his legs, run, jump and play with anyone who will give him attention. He is ready for you to take him home today.

Looking for a New Best Friend???
