Goose

This big, tabby boy is handsome in his American shorthair coat, featuring colors of creamy white with ebony and brown stripes. Two-year-old Goose is a he-man — with huge, captivating hazel eyes, and a laid-back personality that is friendly and loving. He is especially fond of lovey-dove talk, being petted and wet (canned) food. When given the love, warmth and stability of a good forever home, he will blossom into a devoted friend, pet and companion.

Come in and meet this remarkable cat. He’s available at the shelter through Saturday.

 

Gracie

A happy girl that wants to love and please, that’s our approximately 1-year-old terrier/pit bull-mix. Friendly and smart, Gracie is a large attractive girl with a shorthair coat of mostly white with light, fawn-brown accents. A sweet girl with an A-plus personality, Gracie loves people and their attention. She needs owner(s) willing to give her their time, attention, love and exercise in a fenced area or on a leash, and basic obedience training in a good, loving forever home — where she can be a faithful companion and pet.
