Hercules is a 10-year-old pit bull looking for a “fur”ever home for the holiday. His caretakers said he is a “love bug” with a lovely singing voice. He knows how to say “I love you” when given treats. He doesn’t like to share his attention, so he would be best as the only pet in the home. Hercules is neutered and ready for adoption. His intake number is 497057. Reference picture: Hercules.

Holly and Jolly are a pair of two-year-old cats looking for a home where they can live together. They have been together since birth and are inseparable. They are both spayed and ready to go to their “fur”ever home. Holly’s intake number is 500424. Jolly’s intake number is 500243. Reference picture: Holly and Jolly.

All dog and cat adoption fees include a microchip, basic shelter vaccines (excluding rabies) and a free veterinarian check-up. All cats/kittens, pit bulls and Chihuahua adoptions are just $5 (spay/neuter fees, if applicable, are additional).
