Our featured pets for this week are Mickey and Heart. Mickey is a cute and inquisitive 9-month-old tabby. Although he came to the shelter as a stray, Mickey is very social. He responds positively to attention and enjoys being held and petted. Mickey is ready to spend the rest of his life being your best friend.
Heart is a sweet 1-year-old Pug mix. She was surrendered to the shelter when her owners could no longer care for their three dogs. Heart is lively and fun and enjoys going for walks and playing in the yard. Heart weighs less than 20 pounds and will make a great addition in her forever home.
