Dog of the Week – PIPER
Age: 2 years
Color: Black & White
Breed: Basset Hound/American Bulldog Mix
Gender: Female
Adoption Fee: $160
Greetings, I’m Piper, a 2-year-old girl who’s ready to leap into your life, cover you with kisses and cuddle on your couch. I am a happy girl who insists on being near her people all the time. I am super playful and I have tons of energy, so if you like to go for walks, or even for hikes on the Ma & Pa Trail, I’m up for it! When it comes to other dogs, I like to be the one in charge who calls the shots. I would be a great pet for a family with older children. Why don’t you come over and take me for a walk around the beautiful grounds of the shelter and let’s get to know one another?
Cat of the Week – HUNTER
Ages: 4 years

Breed: Domestic Shorthair Mix

Don’t you just love a cat with LOADS of personality? Then you’ve gotta come and check me out! I’m Hunter, and I’m quite the charmer, yes I am! I love to talk, but I don’t meow…no, I make an adorable chirping noise. I chirp at you, at other cats, at what’s going on outside the window, and basically to announce everything I’m doing. It’s so cute! I also love to give kisses and lick those I love. I get along with other cats and dogs too and I love to play. I’m just an awesome, all-around boy! I am currently up in the administration offices. If you would like to meet me and see how charming I am, then stop on up.

This cute little guy is Patches, and at just a year old he’s ready to delight your family. Patches would make a wonderful companion for someone who can devote an hour or two each day for exercise and affection. If you’ve never had a piggy before, they’re pretty easy to care for, so do some reading or talk to your vet about their care and comfort, then come and meet Patches in our Critter Cottage today!
