Spotlight on Oreo Adoption Fee Only $55!! Oreo is a very sweet, housetrained, Border Collie mix. Oreo will sit on command, loves to play ball, and is affectionate with people. He is shy in new situations but once he feels secure, he is a wonderful little dog. For that reason, he would do best with empty nesters, or in a more quiet, consistent home. Please contact us at kchsdogs@yahoo.com for more info on Oreo. Thank you! Thanks to everyone who has donated to Limerick's surgery fund! Limerick has had her surgery and has been adopted!

More details.. The Lonely Hearts Club Forgotten Cats Deserve a Second Chance Week after week they watch visitors come and go, hoping this time someone will notice them. Maybe they greet you as you walk in the front door, or perhaps they watch from behind the door or from a high perch in the next room. They are the discarded pets and the homeless strays; the forgotten cats in the "Lonely Hearts Club." Meet Mr. December - Matthew! **Updated: Matthew has been adopted! Yay Matthew!! Matthew is a sweet black and gray tabby and white male with a little white muzzle and white boots. Matthew is approximately 2 years old, and he, along with several companions, was abandoned in two carriers behind the Humane Society building.
