Palmer is part of the Spooktacular Adoption Event! He has been at CCHS since February! Let's get him adopted! Please share.

Palmer is a big, handsome orange tiger who wins hearts quietly. He’s a shy boy at first, but once he feels safe, his sweet personality shines. He’s curious, gentle, and absolutely loves attention from the people he trusts. Palmer has a calm, lovable nature — the kind of cat who enjoys simply being near you. He’s quiet, easygoing, and happiest when he’s lounging close by or investigating his surroundings with soft curiosity. He enjoys toys, especially anything he can bat around, and catnip is his absolute favorite treat. If you’re looking for a sweet, mellow companion with a tender heart, Palmer is ready to be your lovable new friend. Apply to adopt this 3-year-old cat at www.cchswi.org

Jimmy-American Bulldog mix-male-neutered-3 years-65 pounds. Jimmy is a lively, happy-go-lucky Bulldog mix with a whole lot of love—and personality—to share. With his adorable eye patches and expressive face, he’s a super cute boy and staff favorite. Jimmy loves other dogs! Jimmy is smart, stubborn, and a little bullheaded, but if you’ve ever loved a Bulldog, you know that’s part of the charm. He isn’t the best match for a first-time dog owner, but for someone with Bulldog type experience, he’s an incredible companion waiting to shine. He’s smart, strong, independent, and has a noticeable prey drive—squirrels and rabbits beware! Jimmy will absolutely give chase, so a home that understands this trait is important. What Jimmy thrives on most is structure and consistency. With a confident leader, he settles in beautifully. He’s already learning commands here at the shelter and uses them in his daily routine. He loves and has mastered a structured walk! Once he knows what’s expected, he does really well and loves having a human that gives him direction. If you’re someone who appreciates a dog with personality, drive, and heart—and you enjoy being a steady, guiding presence—Jimmy might be your perfect match. Jimmy needs a human who can be a consistent leader. Could it be you? Apply to meet him at www.cchswi.org DATCP License #266742-DS

It takes a community to care for homeless animals, and today we were reminded just how lucky we are to have such wonderful supporters.

A heartfelt thank you to Gary and Kristi of Pace Air Duct Cleaning for cleaning our dryer vents, upgrading our venting on one dryer from flexible pipe to rigid pipe, and replacing two exterior vent covers.

Even more incredible, they donated their time, labor, and materials at no cost to CCHS. Their kindness helps us maintain a safe environment for the animals we serve while allowing us to dedicate more resources to their care.

Please join us in thanking Gary and Kristi for their incredible support of CCHS! 💙🐾

Please note! If you have used them in the past, their number has changed to the number on the card in this post. Thank you!
