Are you looking for a gentle giant? Tank is just the guy for the position! Tank is a social butterfly and loves meeting new people, but no one comes close to his family! He loves children and has done well with small children. He can be a little bit of a ladies’ man when it comes to other dogs, preferring the company of female dogs. Tank does have some separation anxiety and will need someone who is comfortable managing his anxiety. Tanks favorite activities are going for car rides, sunbathing outside and being with his family. If you’re interested in meeting this low energy ball of fur, stop by the RHSCPA today!

Meet Speedy! This sweet senior guy is ready to settle into his forever home! Speedy is shy at first, preferring to pick a cozy spot to hide out in for a bit. Once he warms up, he’s not shy about asking for attention and becomes super talkative! Speedy does have kidney insufficiency, meaning that his kidneys aren’t filtering as well as they used to. His adopter will need to keep him on a prescription diet for kidney health and take him to his vet as needed to manage his condition. If you’re looking for an affectionate, lovable, and calm companion, Speedy is the perfect cat for you!
