💝 Meet Some of This Week's Adorable Adoptables (11/13/2023) - Sweet Seniors 😺🐶

Please submit your adoption application before coming in to meet your next furry family member.

November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month and so for this week's Adorable Adoptables we're shining a spotlight on cats and dogs who are aged to perfection and looking for PAWrents who will give them the loving homes they deserve. The extra years have given these adorable cats and dogs even more character, personality, and appreciation of life and the people who care for them. Let them fill your heart with all of the love that they have to give.

You can read all about why a senior might be your best match here: "5 Reasons to Adopt a Senior Pet."

We encourage you to fill out an application before you come in to begin the adoption process.

Then visit the shelter to meet your newest furry family member!
