Pets of the Week

This week’s spotlight shines on three unforgettable pets seeking their forever homes: the energetic Husky Kento, the heart-melting kitten Gizmo, and the calm and collected Baxter, who's been patiently waiting since April. Each of them brings their unique charm and loving spirit—could one be the perfect addition to your family?

Kento  

KENTO is a 2½-year-old neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated Husky who’s ready to find his forever adventure crew! Picked up as a stray, Kento is wildly friendly and packed with energy. He’ll need an active home that can keep up—daily walks, runs, hikes, fetch marathons—you name it. This boy is built for action! Kento plays well with other dogs but isn’t a fan of cats. He’s smart, spunky, and ready to be someone’s new best trail buddy.
Also, our sweet DANTE needs surgery on both knees. If you can help with his medical costs, give us a call.

Meet Gizmo

Gizmo is a gorgeous kitten with striking blue eyes that will melt your heart. He’s already fixed, vaccinated, and ready to go—just waiting for the perfect family.

Playful and curious, Gizmo loves chasing toys and pouncing around, but he’s just as happy to curl up for snuggles and pets. He gets along well with other cats and has done great with children, showing his adaptable and affectionate nature.

With his sweet personality and loving spirit, Gizmo is ready to bring joy to his forever home.

Baxter

Meet Baxter! He’s about 6 years old, mellow, and wicked leash-trained. He’s our longest resident—waiting since April 18—and he’s still quietly hoping for his forever home. Baxter’s good with other dogs (though we recommend a meet-and-greet) and is surprisingly respectful of cats… as in, he ignores them completely. He’s calm, collected, and might just be the missing piece of your family puzzle. Come meet him—you’ll see why we love him.

Comment author: BonnieComment text: Good Luck to all of you. I mean this sincerely. My family fought the Navy for years. My parents owned Horse Creek (Pat and Linda Dempsey). They strung them along for years until they had no financial choice but to accept and get out. My Dad even hauled water for the Snow ranch trying to stay afloat. May God bless you all. I truly pray it works out for you.Comment publication date: 3/28/26, 9:22 PMComment source: Local Rancher Says Navy Land Expansion is Devastating His Family RanchComment author: Lynn JohnsonComment text: I remember your mother well; she was a lovely and kind woman. I loved hanging out at your home on Sheckler Road where she was always warm and welcoming.Comment publication date: 3/27/26, 7:12 PMComment source: June Irene Manhire (Pendarvis), née DriggsComment author: EvaComment text: Grandpa, I find myself wondering about you every so often. I see glimpses of your face in the years worn onto my dad. It makes me feel more connected to you in some way. I remember the familiar kindness from you that I know in my dad. I would’ve really liked to have a good conversation. I only have a handful of memories with you, but you were loving, and you were kind. I wish I was able to say more. If I am someone to you, I hope I make you proud. Thank you Aunt for this sweet post.Comment publication date: 3/27/26, 12:11 AMComment source: Obituary -- Randolph Floris Banovich C Comment author: RBCComment text: The Navy should reimburse the market cost of replacing the grazing land they are taking.
