Jay has been adopted, but here's a list of the dogs currently available from the Humane Society of Allen County.

Rosco is a real survivor. This orange tiger and his buddy Jep spent most of their lives side-by-side in isolation, beating a case of ringworm. But they won and grew into healthy, strong young cats. Rosco loves to eat and has a thick neck and brightly colored fur to show for it. He gets along well with cats, especially Jep, and even tolerates dogs. The Humane Society of Allen County helped save Rosco's life; can you help make the rest of his life a happy one?

Jeepers creepers, where did she get those peepers? Mousey is a tiny cat with big, beautiful eyes available for adoption at the Humane Society of Allen County. This 5-year-old brown tiger is fully grown but still kitten-sized. Mousey is a big-time nuzzler and enjoys being pet and sitting in laps. Feast your eyes on her in person on Wednesday, Thursday or Saturday at the shelter.

Dee Da must have been a purse in a past life, because this cat just loves being carried around. She's a 1-year-old shorthair with a beautiful tuxedo pattern. Dee Da also has a cute, little white mustache smudge under her nose. Come meet this big-time cuddler at the Humane Society of Allen County.

Renaldo's a street-smart tomcat with a lot of confidence, the kind of cat who speaks softly but carries a big body. This 3-year-old orange tiger bears the marks of a few fights during his life outdoors, but he's beyond happy to be inside, where he rules the roost. Renaldo currently lives in a colony room at the Humane Society of Allen County and gets along great with his fellow felines, but he's not crazy about dogs. He also really, really enjoys having his rear end scratched and shows his appreciation by licking the air with glee.

Coletta is a frisky, furry little lady taken in as part of Operation Catnip. Usually, cats are captured in live traps, spayed and released. But rare cats like Coletta are so ideal for adoption, the Humane Society of Allen County spays them and offers them for adoption. Coletta is a 7-month-old longhaired kitten and full of personality. She is a born mouser and talented acrobat who is sure to entertain you every day.

Congratulations on your adoption, Prescott! The Humane Society of Allen County launched Operation Catnip to spay and neuter stray cats in our community, but every once in a while there's a kitten so perfect for adoption that he isn't released back onto the street. And who could resist Prescott? This 6-month-old brown tiger is a petite longhaired kitten with plenty of pep and personality. Prescott still has his adorable kitten belly and a beautiful white blaze along his nose. He's a very social young cat who enjoys people and other cats. But most of all, this guy loves toys. He'll play until he's panting, then play some more.

... and then there's Maude! This 5-year-old tortie was dumped at the Humane Society of Allen County. Clearly, she had a home and is a bit frightened by life at the shelter. Maude needs a hero with a huge heart to put her back in a loving home, where she belongs.

If you're looking for a classic kitten, we have three littermates who fit the bill. Meet Sonny, Socks and Rizzo. Sonny is a solid brown tiger who's a real growler. When she gets a toy in her mouth, she likes to play a little tug-o-war and rumbles up an adorable growl. Her sister Rizzo has a little more white to her coat and seems to be the most agile of the group. And their brother, Socks, has the most white to his coat. Socks is pretty good with his paws and tends to act like the leader. All three of these 4-month-old kittens are available for adoption individually or as a trio!

If the Humane Society of Allen County had its own retired prizefighter, he would be Mushmelon. This big, sweet, 2-year-old orange tiger has taken his licks but refuses to get bitter. Mushmelon gets his name from his massive noggin', which few people can resist petting and scratching. He was a stray who came in with injuries, probably from getting the bad end of a cat fight. All Mushmelon wants to do know is have a peaceful, happy life. He's content to be held in ridiculous positions and lies down in the weirdest ways. He's still a playful guy, just not very wild. Gentle is the name of Mushmelon's game.

This big, beautiful lady is Leah. She's a three-year-old bloodhound mix who absolutely loves being outside. Leah was surrendered by her owner, who said she was too hyper, but she's been nothing but loving and playful at The Humane Society of Allen County. She's a patient and tolerant dog who doesn't mind being held or hugged.

Looking for a super playful, loving young lady? Look no farther than Tansy's million-dollar smile. This three-year-old Australian cattle dog is a hypnotizing mix of brown, black and lovely spots. Tansy has a robust, sturdy body but still gets moving when its time to play. She's smarter than average and enjoys lots of affection.

She's playful, comical and drop-dead gorgeous. She's Emma! This pit mix puppy was born to bring smiles to faces. At just six months old, Emma is learning to be a lady and doing well in basic obedience classes. She is learning "sit" and "down" and is very eager to please. Emma loves toys and people, and she would make an excellent companion.

This unique pup with warm brown eyes, a bobbed tail and a gorgeous mottled coat is Ranger. He is a two-year-old blue heeler who was surrendered when his owner couldn't afford to care for a dog. Ranger is incredibly friendly with people and, as his breed implies, a very smart and playful dog. Because of his athletic ability, Ranger should have a fenced yard. He also is best as an only dog with no cats around.

Abby can be a bit shy, but get her outdoors and you'll see this five-year-old boxer mix is a pure athlete. She loves leaping and running to chase down toys and would make a great jogging companion. Abby gets along well with cats and is friendly toward people. She has a splendid brindle coat and outstanding muscle tone. Come toss her a ball at The Humane Society of  Allen County.

Frenchy and Doody were born at the Humane Society of Allen County with their littermates Rowan and Betty. All four are the offspring of Deena, a cat at the shelter famous for many toes. Deena passed on the polydactyl trait to Frenchy and Betty, so you can choose how many toes you'd like your kitten to have! Frenchy is the only black cat of the litter and certainly makes the best use of her extra toes. She loves to grip cat toys at playtime and hold hands while being petted. Doody was the only tomcat of the litter. He's a handsome guy and a bit of an acrobat.
