Murray (Christmas) is a one-year-old Shepherd mix who got his clever name at Animal Friends of the Valleys’ 1st annual “Howliday” Open House. His caretakers said he is a bit shy at first but his playful personality shines once he gets to know you. He loves to play and enjoys treats and walks. Murray needs to be neutered before going to his “fur”ever home. His intake number is 503939. Reference picture: Murray.

Sox is a three-year-old cat looking for a quiet home to settle down in. Her caretakers said she is a bit reserved and likes her alone time cuddling in the sunshine. Sox is spayed and ready to go to her “fur”ever home. Her reference number is 502584. Reference picture: Sox.
