Rapter

Beautiful, sweet and nice dog are but a few words to describe our Rapter. At 1 year old, this female Plott Hound-mix is friendly, calm, attentive, smart, and she appreciates attention. Her markings are brindle — black and tan, and are they ever striking, especially on her face! They are the second thing you’ll notice, the first being the friendly smile she gives you. This is a must–see dog, so come in and pay her a visit and see for yourself. Rapter is available through Saturday at the shelter.

Ava

Ava is definitely star quality! She’s a stunningly beautiful, bicolor, with a gorgeous silky shorthair coat of white, with patches of black. This 10-month-old is friendly and loves to engage you with her paw and talk to you — she’s quite the conversationalist. Ava will make a loyal companion who wants you to herself. She needs to be the only cat in the household. Come in and have a little talk with our Ava, you’ll be glad you took the time. She’s available through Saturday at the shelter.
