Adopt-a-Pet: Sawshai, Willie and Nellie

Sawshai is a two-year-old pit bull looking for someone to love. She was surrendered to Animal Friends of the Valleys because her owner was in a car crash and could no longer care for her. Her caretakers said she has a big personality and would make a fantastic companion to a fun-loving, active family. Sawshai needs to be spayed before going to her “fur”ever home. Her intake number is 308630. Reference picture: Sawshai.

Willie and Nellie are a bonded pair of cats looking for a home where they can be together. Willie is a six-year-old neutered boy who is very social and loves to cuddle and play. Nellie is a five-year-old spayed girl who is on the shy side and will stay by Willie’s side no matter what. Willie’s intake number is 460214. Nellie’s intake number is 460216.
