Helix

With a soft-to-the-touch shorthair coat of luscious, pastel-orange, darker rust-colored stripes and accents of white, huge green eyes, that’s our handsome Mackerel tabby boy, Helix. This friendly 3-month-old juvenile kitten purrs gratefully when shown affection and love. He wants and needs love, attention and playtime in a good forever home. In return he will show you unconditional love, friendship and companionability. Come in and get acquainted; he’s available through next Saturday.

Slinky

This must-see-and-meet fellow is as cute as can be. Slinky is listed as a Rottweiler mix, but one look at his low-rider legs tells he’s most likely part Bassett Hound, too. This sturdy, medium-size, 5-year-old lad is active, friendly, loving, happy and cheerful. He needs owner(s) willing to give him the love and attention he desires, exercise in a fenced area or on a leash and some basic obedience training. Slinky will make a great pet and companion in a good forever home.

Come spend a little time with him — he’ll put a smile on your face and a glow in your heart.

For more photos and video of Slinky, visit www.facebook.com/ENCShelterDogs/ID#1651. He’s available through the following Saturday at the shelter.

The month of October is Dog Adoption Month with reduced rates for canines at the shelter. During the month of October, dogs and puppies at the shelter will have an adoption fee of $55 each. This fee includes spaying /neutering, the first round of shots, a microchip and worming, for each dog adopted. This is a reduced fee with the remainder paid by the Humane Society of Beaufort County.
