Dolores is a four-year-old Chihuahua Dachshund searching for a loving home to call her own. While she can be a bit timid when she first meets people, she is loving and sweet once her trust is gained. Dolores needs to be spayed before going to her “fur”ever home. Her intake number is 465878. Reference picture: Dolores.

June is National Adopt a Shelter Cat Month and Harper is hoping to catch her lucky break and find a “fur”ever home. This sweet girl is one of the longest AFV residents. According to her caretakers, she is sweet and loves lounging in the sun but prefers to be held. Harper is spayed and ready for adoption. Her intake number is 439684. Reference picture: Harper.
