So, that’s the goal.  We’ll have fun. And that’s the most that’s changed, except we’re just married officially now.”

Hamilton, Ozzie and Mickey

One of our KIX Critters of the week is Hamilton!

He is a 5-year-old mixed breed who came in as a stray, and he’s ready to start a new chapter in his life with someone special.

This shy guy may need some time to warm up, but with patience and love, he’ll reward you with loyalty and affection. Hamilton is a true outdoors enthusiast! He loves spending time outside, where he begins to come out of his shell and show his playful side. He’s looking for a patient and understanding person who can help him build trust and confidence.

Good news for dog lovers – Hamilton does well with other dogs! If you already have a dog, we’ll arrange a meet and greet to make sure they’re a perfect match.

Hamilton's adoption fee is 50% off the normal price!!

Hamilton and his buddy Ripley!
