Peaches

This tabby girl is gorgeous with her lush, uniquely colored, American shorthair coat of strawberry blonde, gray, creamy brown, ebony and snowy white on her face, bib, tummy and paws. Her huge aqua eyes and little pink nose complete this pretty-as-a-picture cat.

At 2 years old, Peaches is a quiet, calm, gentle, friendly and affectionate gem of a cat that loves to have her head petted and rubbed. She will make a wonderful pet, friend and companion in a variety of good, forever home settings.

Spike

This approximately 2-year-old, Boxer-mix is a smart, friendly and likeable fellow. A medium-size, attractive dog with a shorthair coat of brown with white accents — Spike is sweet, loving affection and attention. He is reported to be good with kids and other dogs, and he needs owner(s) willing to give him love, attention, nutritious food, exercise in a fenced area or on a leash, and some basic obedience training. Spike deserves a good, loving forever home where he can be a faithful companion and pet.
