Priss

A girl that likes to snuggle and hear sweet talk, that’s our Priss. At 1 year old, this calm, Siamese-mix is beautiful with a coat of blended ivory, white, chocolate and black. Completing this pretty picture are her dazzling, ice-blue eyes. A friendly lady, on the petite side, Priss loves to be held, and she will make a wonderful addition in a variety of good, forever home settings. Come spend a little time and see how attractive, sweet and gentle she is. Priss is available through Saturday at the shelter.

Eddy

Eddy, my love — that’s what you’ll be saying when you meet our little guy. He’s a retriever/terrier–mix and handsome in his brown, shorthair coat. At 4 months old, this sweet, calm and gentle fellow needs some tender, loving care, and an owner(s) who will show him consistency, attention and love, in a good forever home, will enable him to be all that he can be. Come in and meet Eddy and spend a little time with him. He is available through Saturday at the shelter.
