PETS OF THE WEEK_130211_WEB

Alazay

Alazay, is a sweet, female, shepherd-mix puppy about four months old. Her shorthair coat is tan and black with some white spots. She is a very friendly, active pup that would be great for a family with lots of land so she has plenty of room to run and play. Alazay is ready and waiting to be adopted to her new forever home.

Sassy

Meet Sassy, a 1-year-old, female, black and white Tuxedo cat. Sassy is friendly with beautiful green eyes and she is a loving lap cat that would be great with a family or single retired couple. She is litter box trained and is ready and waiting to be adopted to her new forever home.

Those interested in adopting a pet should inquire at the Betsy Bailey Nelson Animal Control Facility, 3931 U.S. Highway 264 East, from 1 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. Saturdays. Because of overcrowded conditions, the animals listed are only available as indicated.
