Adopt-a-Pet: Darling and Benny

Darling is a three-year-old Queensland Heeler mix looking for a “fur”ever home. Her caretakers say she is very active and loves to play fetch and go on walks. She is great with kids.

Darling is spayed and ready for adoption. Her intake number is 448813. Reference picture: Darling.

Benny is a seven-year-old cat looking for a quiet home where he can be the only cat. He is a bit nervous at the shelter. While he can be a bit shy around new people, he would love to be a permanent companion in a home of his own.

Benny needs to be neutered before being adopted. He is one of “Tiff’s Picks,” all of his adoption and neuter fees will be paid for by Huey’s Rescue. His intake number is 450396. Reference picture: Benny.
