Metro Animal Services' Pets of the Week: Percy and Midnight!

Percy

Percy, MALE DOG

Percy is a Labrador Retriever mix currently waiting for a forever home. The 9-year-old is laidback. His nature is sweet, and he knows some commands.  Percy is being treated for heartworms; he needs to be in a calm environment during his recovery. Any additional treatments would be paid for by Metro Animal Services.  Percy is friendly with other dogs; he could be tested to see if he gets along with cats. Percy has been neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. His adoption is free with our Pay It Forward Program. To adopt Percy, visit Animal House Adoption Center at 3516 Newburg Rd. Tuesday-Sunday from 12-6pm. For more information about Midnight, call 473-PETS.

Midnight, FEMALE CAT 

Midnight needs a forever home where she can spend her days curled up napping in small, dark spaces. The 10-year-old may seem disinterested in socializing but that’s just because it takes Midnight some time to warm up to her surroundings and strangers.  Midnight’s adoption is free with our Pay It Forward Program. She’s spayed, microchipped and up-to-date on all vaccinations. To adopt Midnight, visit Animal House Adoption Center located at 3516 Newburg Rd. Tuesday-Sunday from 12-6pm.

For more information about Midnight, call 473-PETS.
