No. 13-0153, Cindy, is an adorable, Jack Russell Terrier-Dachshund miniature-mix puppy. She is 6 months old with a smooth hair, white and black coat. She has a sweet disposition, is very calm and loves to be held. This little puppy needs lots of love and attention and a good forever home. Meet Seela, No. 13-0102, a silver and white female tabby, about 8 months old. Her exquisite face and silky coat are matched with a gentle and very affectionate personality. Seela loves cuddling, playing, grooming and keeping her surroundings tidy. She asked not to be in a home with dogs, but another cat is fine.
