Pick of the Litter: Olivia

Each month we feature an adoptable pet chosen as a favorite by a CBHS staff member or volunteer.  This month’s “Pick of the Litter” is Olivia, chosen by CBHS Adoption Counselor, Layla Hagen.

“Olivia is my ‘Pick of the Litter’ because I have loved watching her open up here at the shelter. I chose the name Olivia for her.  When she first came in as a stray, she was so shy and scared. She opened up to me more and more each time I took her out of her kennel.  Now she recognizes me and immediately gives me kisses and lays down for a belly rub.  She definitely has my heart!”

Olivia is available for adoption at the Cedar Bend Humane Society.  You can visit her in our “puppy room” where she likes to greet, and offer kisses to passersby.  Olivia’s adoption profile can be viewed here.  Come give this special girl a second chance and change her life forever!

Pick of the Litter: Dirk

Each month we feature an adoptable pet chosen as a favorite by a CBHS staff member or volunteer.

This month’s “Pick of the Litter,” chosen by Adoption Counselor, Kenzi Wroe, is Dirk, a 2-year-old Greater Swiss Mountain Dog/American Staffordshire Terrier mix.

“My favorite thing about Dirk is how excited he is to spend time with anyone! He has a lot of energy, and he is very smart. He’s got the most handsome puppy face. I just love his energy–he’s a super cutie!”

Dirk is available for adoption at the Cedar Bend Humane Society.  View his adoption profile here.  You may also pay him a visit in our Adoption Center, Tuesday-Sunday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. (closed Mondays).

  

Pick of the Litter: Dixie

Each month we’ll feature a different adoptable pet, chosen as a favorite by a CBHS staff member or volunteer.

This month’s “Pick of the Litter” has been chosen by CBHS Adoption Counselor, Jess Foelske

“The pet I am absolutely in love with is Dixie, our American Staffordshire Terrier/Lab mix!  She is such a sweet, affectionate girl that will lick your face right off if given the chance!! Dixie was brought into the shelter in February after being hit by a car.  Her pelvis was broken.  After months of therapy and recuperation, she has made a full recovery. She definitely loves her “people food” and will do almost anything for a tasty treat.   Dixie can be “dog selective,” but she is doing much better around other dogs than when she first came in.   Unfortunately, she is NOT a cat lover either.  Dixie is so intelligent, will sit on command, and instantly catch a treat mid-air! And don’t even get me started about those perfect, puppy dog eyes of hers. I’ve come to love and appreciate Dixie for her outgoing, charismatic personality.  I still find it hard to believe that she is currently our longest dog resident!”

Pick of the Litter: Kona

Each month we’ll feature a different adoptable pet, chosen as a favorite by a CBHS staff member or volunteer.

This month’s “Pick of the Litter” has been chosen by CBHS Adoption Counselor, Abby Shannon.  Abby chose Kona, a 6-year-old pit bull.

“Why do I love Kona? Well, she is absolutely amazing with any human being, especially kids (her maternal instinct is beautiful). She wants to be by your side and give you kisses every chance she can. She is a great walking buddy, and is extremely smart! Kona would make a great snuggle bug for anyone, especially a family with children. She has been at the shelter for way too long. An amazing dog like her deserves a second, loving chance at life with a deserving family!”

This month’s “Pick of the Litter” has been chosen by CBHS Adoption Counselor, Todd Boggs.  Todd chose Bianca, a 3-year-old pit bull.

“Bianca’s friendliness, good manners, and intelligence made her my pick of the litter.  She engages people and other animals with ease and gentleness.  Bianca’s curiosity fuels her energetic exploration of the world.  This also makes her easy to teach new tricks!  She will make a wonderful companion who provides fun, play, and affection to any family!”

Pick of the Litter: Lenny

Each month we’ll feature a different adoptable pet, chosen as a favorite by a CBHS staff member or volunteer.

This month’s “Pick of the Litter” has been chosen by CBHS Adoption Counselor, Rhiannon Gors.  Rhiannon chose Lenny, a 4-year-old pit bull.

“I picked Lenny because he is honestly one of the sweetest dogs I have ever met.  Pit bulls have such a bad rep, but I know that if anyone spent just 30 seconds with Lenny, they would see how wonderful pit bulls can be.  Lenny is such a happy dog.  Nothing bothers him. Whoever adopts him will be the luckiest family in the world!”

This month’s PICK OF THE LITTER is Laura. She was selected by CBHS Adoption Counselor Abigail Cresap.

“I picked Laura because she is a constant reminder of how resilient dogs can be. She has been through a lot in her short life, and still remains a sweet dog. She deserves a wonderful second chance at the life she should have always had!” – Abigail Cresap
