Alastor is a black male kitten with white accents on his paws, chin and underbelly. His white whiskers are an adorable feature against his black coat. He has a sweet personality and is the smallest of his littermates, but that does not hold him back. He initially observes his siblings playing from afar but usually joins in with wrestling and chasing. He is an energetic kitten that may use his magic to get you under his spell.

Ritchy is a 1-year-old pit bull mix that came to the shelter with a horrible case of mange in June. After some much-needed TLC, he is looking and feeling like a happy dog. Ritchy loves life and enjoys all people and other dogs. He is currently participating in the Puppies for Parole program and is doing wonderful. He is housetrained, crate-trained, leash-trained and learning all his basic commands. Ritchy is a fun-loving young dog that can’t wait to be part of a family.
