Zena is an eight-year-old German Shepherd looking for a “fur”ever home. Her caretakers said this sweet girl is “smart as a whip.” She loves adventures and exploring new places when she’s not relaxing on the couch. She would be best as the only dog in the home. Zena is spayed and ready for adoption. Her intake number is 490148. Reference picture: Zena.

Lucy is a six-month-old kitty. Her caretakers said she loves to cuddle. Lucy needs to be spayed before being adopted. Her intake number is 493844. Reference picture: Lucy.
