Kane is a sweet, snuggly 6-year-old terrier that acts like a lap dog. Kane recently came to NAWS after his family, who had him since he was a puppy, fell on hard times. He’s been kind, gentle and full of love since he arrived. He does well with other dogs, kids and even cats. Kane also enjoys walks and playing with squeaky toys (his favorite!). Kane will make a loyal, affectionate best friend. To meet Kane, email dogadoption@nawsus.org. Visit nawsus.org.

Edward Cullen is a large 6-year-old tabby that was found as a friendly stray and brought indoors to safety before the weather turned cold. He is comfortable around people, so he likely lived in a home at some point in his life. Edward is friendly, curious, outgoing, confident and will jump up to greet new visitors to his kitty tower. He loves to chatter and enjoys attention, especially pets and chin scratches. Edward is FIV-positive, so he must be the only cat in a home or live with other FIV-positive cats. To meet Edward Cullen, email catadoptions@nawsus.org. Visit nawsus.org.
