Annabelle

This is a must-see cat! Not only are the colors — ivory, ebony, apricot, fawn and creamy brown — of her American shorthair coat stunning, but add in tabby stripes for a unique and mesmerizing display. When given the love, warmth and stability of a good forever home, 1-year-old Annabelle will blossom into a devoted friend, pet and companion. For more photos, visit www.facebook.com/EncShelterCats. Annabelle’s ID #0677.

Come in and see this remarkable cat — but not Saturday through Monday. She will be available Tuesday at the shelter.

 

Ruby

This 1-year-old, medium-size hound-mix is gentle, friendly and calm. Wonderful ears frame her pretty face, and a shorthair coat of white with red markings creates a handsome girl.

On her own for a while or neglected, Ruby is too thin. She needs to be fed quality dog food to build her weight back up by owner(s) willing to give her good care, love, affection, attention and exercise suitable to her condition — in a fenced area or on a leash — and some basic obedience training. Ruby deserves a good, forever home where she will be a faithful companion and pet.

For more photos, visit www.facebook.com/EncShelterDogs. Ruby’s ID #0727.

Come spend a little time with Ruby, but not Saturday through Monday. She will be available Tuesday at the shelter.
