Adopt-a-Pet: Pierre and Poppy

Pierre

Pierre is an eight-year-old Chihuahua looking for his “fur”ever home. His caretakers say he loves to be the center of attention. While he has had nothing but the best care from his foster mom at Lucky Chi Dog Rescue, he is looking forward to meeting his new “fur”ever family. Pierre is neutered and ready for adoption. If you’d like to meet him, visit AVF’s pet adoption events on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Petco Murrieta. Pierre’s intake number is 248191. Reference picture: Pierre.

Poppy entered the shelter as a stray, so her age is not known. Her caretakers say she is a sweet lap cat who would make a great companion. Poppy is spayed and ready to be adopted. Her intake number is 409328. Reference picture: Poppy.
