Edgar

A friendly, sweet guy who likes interacting with people, that’s Edgar, an American pit bull terrier-mix. Handsome in his brown/black brindle shorthair coat with white highlights,

this 4-year-old is eager to please. Edgar, a large male, will do best with a loving, attentive and active family who will spend time with him, include him in their activities, give him plenty of regular exercise and play, preferably in a fenced area or on a leash, give him obedience training, and of course, a good forever home.

Come meet this personable fellow; Edgar’s ID is No. 1561. He’s available at the shelter.

Splendora

This adorably sweet, playful and loving, approximately 10-month-old juvenile cat is a bicolor tabby with a remarkable coat pattern. Her American shorthair coat is snowy white with tabby markings and stripes in gray, ebony and buff — her tabby shows most evidently on her face with the classic tabby “M.” Huge, glistening, light-green eyes and a rosebud nose complete this pretty picture. With her friendly, calm and gentle nature, Splendora will be a welcome addition in a variety of good forever, loving home settings, where she will blossom into a wonderful pet and companion.

Come visit her — Splendora’s ID is No. 1563. See for yourself her beauty and charm. She’s available at the shelter.
