Cherise

Meet Cherise, our strikingly beautiful gray Tabby. She’s a 1-year-old, domestic shorthair charmer. Her ebony stripes are set off by gray and buff. Huge pale green eyes, a rosebud nose and a white bib complete the picture. But she’s not just a pretty face. Cherise is smart and alert with a personality that is warm, loving and engaging. She will be a loyal companion and faithful friend in her good forever home. Cherise is available through Monday, July 7, at the shelter.

Ginger

Say hi to our Ginger, a Labrador Retriever-mix, 2-year-old, 50-pound, spayed female. She was surrendered by her former owners, as they could no longer keep her. They reported that she gets along with other dogs and cats, is loving and very playful, and an indoor/outdoor girl. She will be great with any family. Because she is already spayed, she’s good to go, with her adoption fee of $15. Treat yourself — come in and snap Ginger up. She is available through Monday, July 7, at the Shelter.
