While most folks think of cats and dogs when it comes to the shelter, we often have really cute lil’ “critters,” like ducks, guinea pigs, rabbits and turtles that often linger here while they wait for loving homes. If you’ve never experienced the sweet song of a guinea pig eating their favorite veggies, the hop of a happy bunny, the silly smile of a turtle or a helpful Muscovy duck shake their tail feathers while they eat the bugs in your garden, you are truly missing out! We’re hoping that you’ll make their little dreams come true and give our “critters” a well-deserved home for the holidays today!
