PETS OF THE WEEK

Butch, 2 years old and 11 pounds, is looking for a home with experienced, patient adults without small children but maybe with another dog who will engage in hours of daily play with him. Butch is extremely anxious and uncomfortable in new environments and with new people. HEATHER’S FOSTER DOGS

Echo is a 5-year-old male terrier that was found as a stray. He is incredibly sweet and affectionate, and likes children and other dogs and enjoys belly rubs and going on walks. He was extremely skinny when found and he is receiving lots of food and treats to get him to a healthy weight.

The Community Star prints adoptable pet information weekly. Area shelters, rescues and foster groups can send contact information along with jpg photos of available pets — using Pets of the Week in the subject line — to news editor Paul Eisenberg at peisenberg@ tribpub.com.
