Featured pets: Jack, Jill and Caty
It isn't often we have small dogs at the shelter so to find ourselves with three at once feels like an overabundance of cuteness and love.
Jack (white with dark grey spots) and Jill are sweet little shih tzus who are happy, friendly and very good natured. These two buddies were dropped off at an in-home boarding facility and for some unknown reason, their former owner decided she didn't want them anymore. We can only guess that when she first brought them home, she hadn't quite clued into the concept that dogs are a lifetime responsibility and commitment. Jack and Jill are adjusting and we WILL find them a loving and permanent home but it always sad when any animal loses their home.
Jack and Jill get along with cats and other dogs and are very people friendly. They love going out for walks and are lively and engaged. Jack is 8 and Jill is 6 so they have a lot of great years ahead. Although we recognize that placing two dogs together can sometimes take a little longer, ideally we are looking for a home where their lifelong friendship can continue to grow. They are a comfort to one another and truth be told, they make for a very cute couple, under bites and all.
We also recently welcomed Caty, who is an incredibly adorable mix. We're calling her a Chihuahua Miniature Pinscher mix, but really it is just our best guess. She is very social and loves her walks almost as much as she loves people. She becomes very attached so no doubt she'll quickly establish a bond with her adopter.
Caty is affectionate and loves to be cuddled. She is good with other dogs but especially enjoys interacting with dogs her own size. If a big dog gets into her "bubble" and is a little excited, she will bark at him or her but we can't really blame her. Caty is great with cats and we are told she is comfortable and good natured with kids too. Kids do, however, need to understand how to properly interact with dogs.
Caty is a real cutie who will be a great snuggle buddy through the long cold winter.
All three are very trusting and just want to share their joy of life with the people in their presence. Their happiness is infectious. You can’t help but be charmed by these truly sweet and loving little beings.
Our hope is to find all of them a home before the holidays.
