Homes for the Holidays Needed for These Furry Friends

Dogs and cats from the Open Door Animal Sanctuary

Bugsy is a wonderful mixed breed boy. Even though we're not sure what he is, he sure does look like an Airedale to us. He is a very nice boy that was just born in June. He walks well on a leash already and loves to play in the yards with other dogs. Since Bugsy is still a puppy, he needs some training and still needs to be housebroken, but he is very intelligent and should be able to pick things up quickly. Bugsy would sure love a home for the holidays.


King is an older gentleman whose family could no longer afford to keep him. He is a retriever mix that was born is July of '02. King absolutely loves squeaky toys! If it squeaks, it's his. King gets along well with other dogs and is very polite with people. He is completely housebroken and knows a few basic commands. King would make a wonderful addition to a quiet household but doesn't mind a little action. If you're willing to give this older guy a second chance, King could be the ruler of your heart.

Poppy is a 5-month-old little girl that is the super soft. Her fur almost feels like rabbit fur. She is very playful and will run around playing with toys all day long. She also has a very sweet side and loves to be held and petted. Poppy loves to play and wrestle with other cats, but she can also entertain herself so she doesn't need another cat. If you are looking for a kitty to warm your heart and entertain you, Poppy just might be the girl for you.

Pollyanna is entertainment wrapped up in a fuzzy package. She is roughly a year and a half old and has so much energy. Pollyanna loves to run around all day long. She does take brief breaks for a few minutes at a time, but then she's off again. A first time cat owner would not be best for Pollyanna, but someone who is used to cats and their quirks would just love her. Anyone who needs some spice in their life should come meet Pollyanna.


Chimmy, Gracie, and Mombo are a very sweet set of triplets. They are just under a year old and all look identical. They are a little shy at first, but once they warm up to you, they are the sweetest cats. They do need some grooming, but they have beautiful, silvery coats. All three are playful, but not overly active. They are nervous at the shelter being around all the other cats, so they will probably do better in a home. Kids might be a little too active for these shy guys but a calm house would suit them to a tee. If you are willing to give a little extra time and some security to these two beautiful girls or their handsome brother, please come to see them.

Neal is a very handsome man that someone threw over our fence one night. He is just shy of 4 years old and is a lovebug. He is a little shy, but it all due to the traumatic way he was abandoned. When the employees went to put a dog in one of our outdoor runs one morning, they found poor Neal cowered in the very back corner scared to death. We rushed him in and it took weeks for him to trust us. Eventually he did come around and is now doing great and is finally ready for his new home. Please come give this boy the life he deserves.


Spitfire is a beautiful mutt that is very talented. Her favorite trick is catching treats as you throw them. She is only about 3 years old and has already some obedience training, she does need a little bit more, but is already a great dog. She is housebroken and gets along with other dogs. She absolutely does not do cats. If you need a little love and activity in your life, please come to see Spitfire.

We also have a lot of puppies right now. If your house needs a little bit of livening up, you should come and meet our puppies. We have several different ages, colors, and sizes available. Whatever it is that you're looking for we are sure that we can find you a match. Please stop by and see if we can make you the perfect puppy to fill your heart.
