Melanie

Friendly, loving, gentle and easygoing, Melanie likes people and their attention. This large, 1 year old is a Labrador retriever mix, and she’s gorgeous in her shorthair, shiny black coat. Melanie will do best with loving, attentive owner(s) who will give her plenty of exercise/play — preferably in a fenced area or on a leash — take her with them on their outings, give obedience training and, of course, a good forever home. Come meet this personable girl — Melanie’s ID is No. 0696. She’s available at the shelter.

 

Chance

This handsome and friendly fellow is already neutered and ready to go, after his reduced fee is paid. Chance, an American shorthair tabby, wears a coat of silver with darker gray stripes and cream accents. At 11 months old, he’s a lover boy who loves being petted and showered with attention. Chance is a truly remarkable cat, and he will be a welcome addition in a good, loving forever home. Come meet Chance, ID No. 0697 — you’ll be glad you did. He is available at the shelter.
