Butch is a handsome boy with plenty of spring
still in his step. Butch was surrendered to WCHS due to his
owners health. He is playful and friendly and he will gladly
welcome you with a happy meow. He is good with most other
cats and some dogs. Kids over 12 are best as he loves to
play to win. Come visit him at today!

 Are
you looking for a big beefy hunk to love?!? Rufas
just may fit the bill! This poor guy was abandoned
on a tie out outside of his previous owner's home.
He has been nothing but an over sized, active,
silly, waggy, tushy dancing dog since his arrival!
Rufas is very well trained and responds with vigor
to commands. He knows how to come, sit, speak, heel,
shake with both paws, and lay down! With a little
work we are confident Rufas will be able to learn a
million more! He thrives on learning and is an
excellent scholar! Rufas does occassionally "smile"
so if you come in to visit and he showing you his
pearly whites and wiggling up a storm, don't worry.
He is just being polite and saying hello! Rufas
would do well in a home with calm, respectful dogs
and children over 12 years old. Roo may be a big
stocky boy but he is a sweet little lamb in wolf's
clothing. Stop in and meet him! You may just fall in
love!
