PETS OF THE WEEK  web

JAKE and MIA

Say hello to Jake and Mia. They are brother and sister, Hound/Terrier-mix, 4-month-old puppies, with white and brindle short hair coats. Mia has big brown eyes and with Jake’s, big blue eyes, I hope you can swim, ‘cause you are going to fall into them. Both puppies are friendly, love people, are playful and very smart. They will be a welcome addition to a good forever home; together would be wonderful; separately would be great.

TOMAS

Meet Tomas a six month old, medium hair, black and white kitten. Tomas loves to play and show you his rolling over tricks. He is extremely affectionate and loves to be with people. He is very clean and keeps his surroundings tidy. Tomas will enjoy a forever home without other pets.
