Jane

At approximately 2 years old, Jane, an American shorthair tabby, is a delightful girl all dressed up in her beautiful pale orange and darker red-striped coat. From the classic “M” on her forehead to the rings of color around her tail, she’s a gorgeous tabby. Jane is friendly, lovable, loving and calm, and she will be a wonderful and welcome addition in a good, loving forever home. For more about Jane, ID No. 0020, see Facebook’s Friends of Beaufort County Shelter Cats Page. Pay her a visit — you’ll be glad you did.

 

Betsy

Sweet, friendly, gentle, mild-natured and beautiful just begins to describe this girl. Betsy is listed as medium-size, approximately 11-month-old, tricolor — white, tan and black — coonhound mix. She will do best with family/owner(s) who be attentive and kind, take her with them on their outings, give exercise/play — preferably in a fenced area or on a leash, give her some obedience training and, of course, a good forever home. For more about Betsy, (ID No. 0019) see Facebook’s ENC Shelter Dogs page. Come meet her; she’s available at the shelter.
