Bubbles and Dakota

Devoted to each other and near look-a-likes are these two beautifully patterned black and white, bi-color cats. At 10 months old, these domestic shorthairs are friendly, calm and gentle purr machines. Dakota is a large male and Bubbles, a female, is medium in size. Come spend some time with them, you will more than likely find them cuddled together keenly observing the activities. They will be welcome additions to a variety of good forever home situations. Bubbles and Dakota are available through Saturday at the shelter.

Iris

Sweet, gentle, friendly — that’s our Iris. She’s a 2-year-old, medium-sized, boxer/Chow Chow-mix with an attractive red coat. She has a wee bit of an over bite but it only adds to her charming personality and makes her that much more endearing. When you meet her, this smart, relaxed dog will melt your heart. She will make a great addition to a variety of good forever home situations. Iris is available through Saturday at the shelter. All dogs have reduced adoption rates through the month of October. Inquire at the shelter.
