It's hard to say why some animals are adopted quickly, while for others getting adopted can take years. It could be they're the wrong color, the wrong age, that they're too shy to make a good first impression, or they just need a little extra time and patience to come around. In our experience, once our long-term residents find their forever homes, they will truly blossom. Many of these animals just need an adopter with a little patience and understanding.They have the potential to make a great family pet when someone just gives them a chance.

We know how special these animals are and once you meet them you will too. Perhaps one of these long-term residents is right for you?

If you are interested in adopting a long-term resident, please come to the shelter and look for the Forget Me Not signs on select animal's kennels. Our shelter staff is very knowledgeable about our animals, and can help answer any questions you might have.
