Say hello to this week’s featured pets, Sadie and Kaia.

Hi. My name is Sadie, and I am the cutest young mixed-breed female you have ever seen. It has been a long road for me here at the shelter. A new place, with new people and many barking dogs, can be pretty scary at first. But I have come leaps and bounds since I first got here. I used to spend my days curled up in the corner of my kennel, terrified of anyone and anything, not to mention the leash. Now I will greet anyone at my kennel with loads of kisses and a spinning tail.

Now that I have become more comfortable, I will even walk outside on my leash, and love to jump around in the yard and accept all your love, returning it with tons of kisses. While now and then I still might get spooked, I will play the princess card and have you carry me until I am comfortable. No place feels safer than in your arms. I cannot wait to find my family that can provide me a space to fully adjust and be the sweet, playful pup that I am.

Hello. My name is Kaia, and I am an adorable 6-year-old female mixed breed. I am calm-mannered and sweet as can be. I haven’t spent much time around other people or dogs, so I may be a little bit shy at first. But once I know I can trust you, and I won’t want to leave your side. I may even climb in your lap in hopes for some snuggles.

I spent my whole life with one person, and I’m looking for my next best friend and family. If you are looking for a loyal companion, I know that we could be a perfect match. I can’t wait to find my forever home where just you and I can conquer the world together or where you can show me what it’s like to be part of a big happy family. With you by my side, I am so excited to see what the world offers.

Sadie and Kaia will be fixed, vaccinated, and microchipped before they go home. Apply here: https://bit.ly/2Qo4EfE and visit us Monday-Friday between 1 and 4 p.m. Bring your kids and resident dogs for a meet and greet. If you’re unavailable during open hours, email karikuh@dbchs.org to make an appointment.

Kitten season remains busy, and many felines need your help. Keep them safe and healthy until they get big enough to be adopted: donate wet kitten food, kitten milk, cat carriers, and non-clumping litter. DBCHS fosters will be grateful. The shelter can always use bleach and paper towels, too. Donate in person 1-4 pm Monday-Friday or visit DBCHS Amazon Wishlist https://rb.gy/hcozh. It takes a village, and we’re grateful for ours.
