Violet

With a coat of many colors, Violet is one gorgeous girl. She wears her long-hair coat of ebony, russet and toffee to perfection. But her beauty doesn’t stop there: this two year old, tortoiseshell-Maine Coon mix has remarkable eyes of pale gold and a wonderful personality. Calm, loving, friendly, gentle and inquisitive, Violet will make a wonderful pet and companion in a good, forever home. Come visit her; she is available through Saturday at the shelter.

Cooper

Hounds are handsome and Cooper is no exception. Our boy is a 3-year-old, black and tan hound mix with a body that is well-proportioned, long and lean. White shows on his long legs as stockings and also the tip of his tail. Cooper’s sweet face reflects a calm, friendly, people-loving nature. This fantastic dog will be a wonderful addition in a good, forever home. Come in and pay him a visit. Cooper’s available through Saturday at the shelter.
