Bayley - ADOPTED!
Background: Bayley is the unfortunate product of divorce. His previous owners are getting a divorce, and so he was brought to live at the Ohio County Animal Shelter (in Rising Sun, Indiana). He is very scared, sad and confused right now -- he doesn't know why he no longer has a home. Bayley is a wonderful dog. He is very timid and submissive around other dogs, loves to play with cats (but will never hurt them), was housetrained as a pup, is neutered and up to date on his shots. What more can you ask for? Please give Bayley a second chance.Gender: Male

Approximate Age: 3 years old
Spay/Neuter Status: Yes, Bayley is already neutered!

Compatibility With Children: Yes, Bayley does GREAT with children. He loves all people.
Compatibility With Other Pets: Bayley is submissive with other dogs. His best friends are cats.
Personality: Bayley is a terrific guy -- very smart, loving and playful.

Ideal Home: Carter's ideal home would be with a family that can give time and training to this sweet boy. He just needs some consistency and obedience. He is already a good dog. :-)

Background: Sophia is a big four-paw declawed, eight year old calico sweetie! She came to the Animal Protection Association (in Jeffersonville) with her "sister" Stella when her owner married a woman who became highly allergic; they tried to make it work but to no avail.

Please help us find a loving forever home for this sweet girl!

Kitty
A nameless kitten awaits adoption at the Rushville Animal Shelter - time is so limited for animals at the shelter, according to volunteer Jaime Glandon, that there would be little point in publicizing the kitten's name, as the teeny agency may have to euthanize her by the time a potential adopter calls. Glandon says fewer than 7% of the animals at the shelter are adopted.For more information: If interested in adopting a dog or cat from the Rushville Animal Shelter, please visit their website at www.petfinder.org/shelters/IN320.html.
