No need to “hunt” anymore for a great companion – here’s Hunter, our Pet of the Week! This gorgeous two-year-old boy was brought in by one of our animal control officers in early September. Hunter is very affectionate once he gets to know you, and who can resist those bright eyes? He can be sensitive […]
Let’s give a hand to Lester, our Pet of the Week! This young brown tabby came to us in early August because his previous owners were no longer able to care for him. Lester lived with another cat, and his previous owners described Lester as shy, loving, cuddly, and playful. Because of his shy nature, […]
Have a laugh and wear a smile for that (not quite yet) world-famous cat, Tom – our Pet of the Week! This buff/orange tabby came to us in late August thanks to a good Samaritan. Tom is an affectionate lovebug who would be thrilled to cuddle up with you at home. He is a bit […]
Straight out of Toontown, here’s Roger, our Pet of the Week! Like his namesake, Roger is a rabbit, a shorthair rabbit to be precise. He came in to the Pet Adoption Center in August to find his “fur-ever” home. Rabbits are intelligent and complex animals that can form deep bonds with their humans. While they […]

It was a beautiful dog, perhaps a Golden Retriever/Irish setter mix. “Where’s your person?” […]
We all know how valuable caller ID is on our phones to help identify who is calling and make sure we can stay in touch with those we care about most. The same holds true for having “Collar ID” on our pets – and one of the best ways of providing that identification is through […]
We’re exciTED to introduce you to our Pet of the Week – Ted! This young Labrador Retriever mix is a total toy hound! He loves playing with squeaky toys – his current favorite is a squeaky tennis shoe. He likes to carry it around and proudly show it off to people! He would love to […]
Just in time for football season, our Pet of the Week Blitz wants to join your team! This young Siberian Husky is looking for a new home. At almost 50 pounds, he’s considered a large-sized dog. Like all Huskies, Blitz is smart and determined. He has shown signs of being a fence-jumper and escape artist, […]
At RASKC, we care for more than just cats and dogs. Depending on the need, we’ve taken in guinea pigs, birds, snakes, and even a rat or two. This year, we’ve taken in a large number of rabbits, which has been a bit unusual. Unfortunately, rabbits don’t do well in the shelter environment – but […]
