has spent some time in a foster home, and
here is what her foster momma had to say
about her:
“Bella is a sweet girl who was returned
to HSMC through no fault of her own. She
is a young, chatty catty who loves to chirp
along in conversation with you and follow
you around the house. The only thing she
loves more than following you around is cuddles.
Whether it’s at your feet or snuggled

Adoptable Pets
up to your chest, she is
happiest curled up
against you in a warm
bed. You will wake up to
her face, purrs and all,
being so excited that you
are awake and ready to
give her all the attention
and pets. If you walk by
and don’t give her pets,
she will pop up and do
whatever she can to get
your attention.
“She did great with my
cat-friendly dog (they
slept in the same bed on
the first night they met)
but may do best with an
older dog or dog who is on
the calmer side. She
would do purrfectly fine,
and actually may do best, Bella
around other friendly
cats with proper introductions
because she
loves to run around and
play with our other cats.
“Around 1.5 months
ago, we realized Bella
had a UTI and, upon further
testing, realized that
she needed to be on special
science diet food. She
has fully recovered and
been doing wonderfully
on the new food and getting
extra hydration with
her wet food. Anyone who
ends up with this beautiful
girl will be so, so
lucky, and she will repay
you tenfold every single
day.”
Adoption fees are $80 Benji
for kittens up to 6 months
old and $60 for cats 7 months and older. The
fee includes a FeLV/FIV test, spay or
neuter, shots, deworming, and a one-year
rabies shot (if old enough). Fees can be paid
by cash or credit card.
Benji
Benji is a lovely puppy who was brought
to us as a stray. We believe his birthdate is
Nov. 27, 2020. Benji was able to stay in a
home for a few days, and this is what the
family had to say:
“Hi, there. I’m Benji, and I’m full of love,
kisses, and tons of energy. I get along with
everyone, and I mean everyone! I get so excited
when I meet new people, I just can’t
control myself and I jump and try to say
hello but it comes out as a bark.
“I love to go on walks and explore everything
around me; I just can’t sniff enough.
You do need to watch me, though, because I
also like to eat everything I come across on
the ground, and I mean everything! Because
I love to go on walks, I tend to pull on my
leash a bit, so I will need some training in
this area. Speaking of
food, I love to eat and I
love my treats. If you tell
me to sit and wait while
you get my bowl ready, I
will sit like a gentleman,
but the minute you put
my food down, watch out,
because I will go for it
like it’s my last meal. So,
maybe only let adults
feed me. I know all the
basic commands—sit,
stay, heel, stop, enough,
and drop it. Because of
all my energy and because
I think I’m a lapdog
and not a big dog, I
would probably do best in
a home with a fenced
yard and no young children.
Just look at my
sweet face. I know you
will love adding me to
your family.”
Benji doesn’t mind
being around cats and ignores
them for the most
part. He is full of life and
loves to play with other
dogs. Although Benji
plays well with other
dogs, he does not like to
share his things (food,
treats, or toys) with other
dogs, so he would need to
be the only dog in his forever
home. Benji is a
smart pooch, knows his
basic commands, and
takes cues very well from
people.
The shelter’s adoption
fees for dogs are as follows:
shelter dogs, $150;
prison dogs, $200; puppies, $250; popular
pure-breeds, $400. Fees includes a Home
Again microchip, shots, deworming, heartworm
testing (if old enough), spay or neuter,
and a one-year rabies shot (if old enough). All
dogs that are adopted must leave with a
county license at an additional cost of $17.
The license fee is cash only. Adoption fees can
be paid by credit card or cash.
