LUCY

“I Love Lucy” — and you will too! She’s a domestic shorthair tabby and her coat displays striking designs of delicious dark chocolate brown and buff. A frosting of white highlights on her mouth area and her huge pale green eyes and a rosebud nose complete the pretty picture. Lucy is very affectionate, smart, alert, friendly and calm. Her favorite pastimes are looking out the window, purring and being stroked and petted. This 11-year-old girl will make a terrific companion and friend. Lucy has already been spayed, so her adoption fee is $15. She is ready and waiting to go to her new, forever home and she is available through Saturday at the shelter.

SAMBO

Meet Sambo, our approximately one year old, terrier-mix dog. His coat is golden, but due to it being extremely matted, it had to be clipped very short. But this does not diminish his cuteness. His big brown, heart-melting eyes, black button nose and a trim build, make for a handsome lad. His personality shows intelligence and a friendly, affectionate, sweet and playful disposition. Sambo is definitely a winner! He is available through Saturday at the shelter.
