PETS AND PLACES
Pet of the Week
Meet King Bluey!
This wiggly guy loves when people walk by his kennel, and he loves it even more when he gets pets from them! Once out of his kennel, he loves to explore and sniff around the play yards, but eventually he’ll come right back to you for attention. As much as he likes being outside, he also loves a nice comfy spot to rest and has been seen taking his blanket back and forth in his kennel so he can change his napping views. King Bluey is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated and can go home today!
Happy Tails
Cecelia (now Ophelia) was adopted from our West shelter in October and she made herself right at home with her new family! They said she is their little shadow and she loves having endless belly rubs!
