SHUGA

TAG NO. 07-17568

A few months ago, we were inundated with tortoiseshell cats; most have been adopted, but young Shuga is still with us. She was formerly in a military household, and appears to have been left largely to her own devices. This black and tan cat is hoping the new year brings her a new home, too.

RUNNER

TAG NO. 07-28590

This brindle-and white standout is smart and fast. Second only to the whippet in speed, greyhounds love to run and play chase. Runner has energy, and then some. A charming kukini, Runner may guard his toys or treats a little too zealously, but he loves to learn and lives to please.

TOFFEE

TAG NO. 07-28916

So sweet is Toffee; a furry, blurry white and brown blob. This little piggy came to us as a stray on Dec. 15, talking up a storm. He is fluent in "pig Latin," and proud of it! Toffee would make an excellent "first pet" for some lucky keiki.
