Buddy

Buddy, my Buddy… no Buddy quite like you! That’s our Dog of the Week. A smart, friendly, neutered male, Labrador Retriever-mix. At one year old, he is smart, will listen and knows some commands. The family that found him said that he got along great with their kids and he played well with their other dogs. Also, he will scratch on the door to let you know that he needs to go out to relieve himself. He is prone to wandering while out, so he will need to be watched or, ideally, have a fenced-in yard to get the exercise he needs. With an adoption fee of $15, Buddy is ready to go to his good, forever home. He is available through Saturday at the shelter.

Mary

Hi, my name is Mary… but she is not contrary. She is quite the opposite. She’s a loving, two-year-old, female Calico with a smooth, short hair coat, of white, gray and apricot. She has gorgeous green eyes and a gentle, quiet and calm demeanor.  Therefore, she will be best in a calm, caring and forever household.

Mary is available through Saturday at the shelter.
