Adopt-a-Pet: Gorda and Caramel Cup

Gorda is a two-year-old pit bull mix looking for a family to love. Her caretakers say she is super sweet and enjoys cuddling with her humans, going for long walks with her furry friends and playing with water from the hose. She doesn’t quite know how big she is so the shelter recommends her adopted family have bigger kids. Gorda is spayed and ready for adoption. Her intake number is 370688. Reference picture: Gorda.

Caramel Cup is neutered and ready to go to his “fur”ever home. His intake number is 454905. Reference picture: Caramel Cup.
