Say hello to the ladies’ man Callen
Hello Winston and Readers! My name is Callen and I’m a 1-year-old pitbull/lab mix. I consider myself a very happy go lucky pup with lots and lots of charm and tones of personality! I also tend to be somewhat of a ladies’man but I will greet everyone (male and female alike) with my cute and cheeky smile! I absolutely love my squeaky toys and stuffed animals.
I can be a picky eater at times but the staff found out I love wet food and Puperoni sticks. I am dog friendly and be cat tested if needed. I would do great in a home with someone who can give me lots of obedience training to help with some of my manners. I DO think I am quite the gentleman, but it certainly can’t hurt to always learn something new. Thank you, Winston!
Winston says:
Ah, a ladies’man, hmm? I am sure there are a lot of ladies looking at your handsome photo right now and thinking, “Well, he may just be the one for me!” Ladies (AND Gents) please stop down and see this wonderful lad for yourself and see if there’s a match.

Cat’s Pride
Litter program
We participate with Cat’s Pride Litter for Good Program — we’ve received 4,000 pounds of cat litter due to nominations from the community. This is an ongoing promotion. The more nominations, the more litter we receive.
Litter as you can imagine, is a great expense for us, so this would be a wonderful savings for our shelter.
The public is invited to participate as follows:
1. Go to catspride.com and sign up for the free Cat’s Pride Club.
2. Click on the “Nominate” button to help us receive litter.
3. Enter bonus code: 4GOOD and you will double your shelter nomination.
4. Buy a green jug of Cat’s Pride Fresh and Light – every time you do, another pound of litter is added to the total amount donated.
