Breed: Calico Age: 6+ years Sex: Female Hair: Long Hi! My name is Sasha and I was one of the first kittens to be adopted from the 'New' Monroe County Animal Shelter 6 yrs ago by my missionary folks. I was raised indoors and out doors along with my 3 best dog friends. I'm happy to take a stroll if you'd like as I often do with my dog friends.  I am healthy, have all my shots, negative for Felv /Fiv, protected from fleas/ticks, am litter box trained. I enjoy being brushed often to keep my beautiful coat from matting...I was always around adults, and prefer a home that does not have young children. My yearly vaccina-tions are due June 2012.  I would love to be a single cat house companion. For the last 2 yrs I have lived with my house sitter because my folks were called to rescue 6 starving children in Honduras and my house sitter is getting married in Nov and will be moving out of the house . . . so it is best for me to find a new loving, caring lap & home.  My spirit is sweet--Won't you PLEASE ADOPT ME????

Lemon captures the hearts of those who meet him with his friendly, sweet disposition; a definite sweetheart. He is cat friendly, house trained, loves people, shows no aggression at all. He gets along with other dogs and thinks he is a lap dog. Prefers to sleep with his human and another dog buddy and even though he has very short legs he manages to jump up on a queen size bed which is very comical. He does well on a leash. He is learning his new name and seems to prefer Le'Mon to Lemon! Understands the word "no." He was a stray but must have come from a multi animal home as he truly loves the company of other dogs, cats and people.

Precious is a lovely little girl. She is house trained and has learned to use the doggie door. She is good on a leash, excellent with children and toddlers, good with other dogs and puppies, and she is cat friendly. Precious loves to sit in your lap and give affectionate kisses; she is well mannered when left alone and doesn't get in the trash or dig in house plants. She'll bark if someone comes to the door or if there is unusual activity outside but other than that she is quiet. She loves to go for rides with you in a car. Since she is a mini schnauzer, she will require regular grooming.

Lucy was part of a hoarding case and needed TLC to recover from that ordeal. She was spayed and had a little surgery to remove a growth on her mouth and recovered nicely in her foster home with Norma S. She is one of our first foster dogs.

Bailey - scp

Animal ID 13463762  Species Dog  Breed Retriever, Labrador/Mix  Age 2 years 1 month  Sex Female  Size Medium  Color White  Spayed/Neutered Yes Housetrained Yes  Site Monroe County Animal Shelter  Location scp Foster Care Intake Date 6/29/2011  ARN 110629D

Written by Bailey's foster volunteer, Carol Woodward: I am a sweet, 2-year-old golden lab mix. I love all people, even babies and toddlers, and everyone seems to love me. I get along well with other dogs, and I think cats are ok, too. I am completely housebroken and well behaved, love car rides, need daily walks, am a quick learner, and I especially love belly rubs and snuggling with my humans. When I came to my foster home, I was extremely anxious when left alone, but my foster mom has been working with me to make me understand that being alone is not a bad thing. She says that I am making good progress, but that it would be best if I go to a forever home where I don't have to spend a lot of time alone. So, if you are looking for a new companion who would love to spend most of her time with you, we should be a perfect match! I am not at the shelter, but my foster mom would be happy to bring me to the shelter so we could meet. Postscript: Bailey came into our program as a Rolling Rescue that did not materialize. As it turned out, Bailey was only 9 mo. old; her age was listed 2+ years. Though our scp program criteria calls for fostering adult dogs, we want to do what is best for both the dedicated MCFA volunteers and the animals they find themselves rescuing. Age cannot always be the criteria, though it is scp preference.

We are delighted that Bailey found her forever home! Thank you Carol for your persistence in helping Bailey "grow up!" Here's Bailey with her new family!!

Lady with her new family

Written by Lady's foster volunteer, Doc McEntee:
Lady Bug is too long of a name for this quick, energetic dog. "Lady" loves to be where people are. In fact, she insists on hanging out with humans. She is eager to please, tries to listen when told not to get into the trash or climb over the half Dutch door. She could care less about cats or chickens, loves to eat and usually gets along with our 3 other dogs. She so much wants to be part of the family/ herd, she works hard not to have accidents in the house, or bark at that strange car going by. She probably was house broken, for she runs outside to do her business when the doors open. She wants to sleep on the couch and always has her tail wagging. Once outside, she has proven to stay around, but leashes well on the walks through the woods. Super affectionate and well behaved, most of the time.

Ten days later: My little feet are dancing all over the floor!! Folks from area code 865 are inquiring about Lady!! I've talked to the potential owner, and she seems really really interested. Since Lady still has stitches from spaying, she can't get/pick up dog until at least Friday....at the shelter. This is the coolest program!!!

Please go to Foster Blog for Rose's own story. She was sent to SPCA in Rochester NY to find her forever home on 8.3.11. She won over all those who met this Marley twin! Update: August 7, 2011 We are thrilled to announce that Rose has been adopted after only being available for adoption in the SPCA for less than two days!!

Bella had been living with our foster home-check volunteer for quite a number of months with a couple of adoptions that just didn't pan out for this lovely girl. She has found just the right person for her and is now in her forever home.

Our first real success story occurred just ten days after the program started! The shelter received a nice little elderly dachshund who they named Marla. The staff thought Marla was about seven years old and she fit second chance pals profile of being reasonably healthy and our goal for animals five years and up.

Just as the program was starting, I was asked if I might take a sweet little Rottweiler mix puppy (4 mos. old) out of the shelter over the weekend as he was due to go to a rescue up in Connecticut. Well, okay . . . this was my first foster experience in at least 15 years and since I was getting myself into second chance pals, thought I'd better have a go at it!
