She can be shy in new situations, but gains confidence with the help of her best buddy, Gilmore. The two are a bonded pair and are required to go home together. They can both be adopted for one fee of $15!
GILMORE Age: 3 years Breed: Domestic Short-Haired Black Gender: Neutered-Male Personality: Gilmore is a handsome, gentle man who prefers to sit back and watch the crowd. He is very introverted and will take some time to warm up, but alongside of his best friend, Tinkerbell, he is at ease. The two are a bonded pair and are required to go home together. They can both be adopted for one fee of $15! Portraits by Hilary Running
What is a Resident Superstar at CRHS? A Resident Superstar at the Coulee Region Humane Society is a featured animal available for adoption that is having a difficult time finding his or her forever home. These pets have typically been waiting to be adopted longer than any other animal at the shelter, and oftentimes have special needs and require certain accommodations. Our Resident Superstars are wonderful, loving pets that simply need a little help. Their adoption fees are also reduced in an effort to encourage adoption.
