Samantha

Our American shorthair tabby wears her stripes of soft gray, creamy brown, tan and black to perfection. Pristine white appears playfully on her face, bib and paws. Big, soft brown eyes rimmed with ebony mascara complete a beautiful picture. Samantha is a calm, observant 5-month-old, juvenile cat with a sweet and cuddly personality — she loves to be held. She wants and needs love, attention and playtime in a good forever home. In return, Samantha will show unconditional love, friendship and companionability. Come in; she will greet you with a meow and extend her paw for a paw-shake. For more on this lovely girl, visit www.facebook.com/ENC Shelter Cats. Samantha’s ID is No. 1335. She’s available through next Saturday at the shelter.

 

Jacob

At approximately 3 years old, this large, male American pit bull terrier–mix is a calm and reserved fellow. Jacob wears an attractive brown/black brindle shorthair coat with white accents. Worry shows on his expressive face, as he questions why he’s in the shelter.

Jacob deserves a good, loving forever home, and he will do best with owner(s) willing to give him attention, care, exercise in a fenced area or on a leash, and basic obedience training.

Jacob’s ID is No. 1303. Come spend a sometime with Jacob. He’s available through next Saturday at the shelter.
