Sylvia

Calm, very gentle, affectionate and loving, our Sylvia is a true treasure. This 1-year-old pewter gray and pristine white bi-color is a treat to look at. Her huge, deep gold eyes feature emerald green surrounding the pupils. With a marvelous disposition and beautiful looks, Sylvia will make a wonderful companion and pet in a good forever home. Pay Sylvia a visit — you will be glad you did. She is available through Saturday at the shelter.

King

Nice, playful and friendly, that’s our King. At one year old, this black Labrador Retriever–mix is handsome with his glistening black coat with a white design on his chest. King came into the shelter as a stray, wearing an underground fence collar, so surely somebody is missing him. Well-mannered and seeming to love attention, King sits on command, loves giving kisses and eating treats. Come pay him a visit, he is available through Saturday at the shelter.
