Leonard is a 40-pound 1-year-old terrier that came to NAWS from local animal control. He brings a lot of love and energy in a little package. He can be timid around other dogs at first, but he does want to play with them, so he should do well with a slow introduction. He is very affectionate and playful. He would make an amazing addition to any home. To meet Leonard, email Dogadoption@nawsus.org. Visit nawsus.org.

Cantaloupe is a quiet 1-year-old tabby that was rescued from a high-kill shelter in Kentucky, where she was at risk of euthanasia. She is a little reserved in her new surroundings at a busy shelter, but she is friendly and sweet. She likes gentle pets and is curious about new people. With a little time to adjust to a new home, she will make a wonderful companion. To meet Cantaloupe, email Catadoptions@nawsus.org. Visit nawsus.org.

Pippin is curious, fun-loving, energetic and loves to explore and play. He also is very social and craves attention. If he doesn’t receive enough, he’ll climb onto someone’s leg or shoulder until he’s noticed. He loves to run around and play with his siblings, so he’d love a home with another cat – or even being adopted with one or both of his brothers. To meet Pippin, visit ForgetMeNotRescue.com/adoptables.
