It’s vacation week! Why not adopt a pet while you have a week at home to bond with your new family member?

Five-year-old tabby cat Holly has an adoption pending, and so does gray tuxedo Winter. Hopefully both will be perfect matches providing lifetimes of happiness.

The cat room has one resident, Jake. He’s a large orange boy with some white on his chest and big green eyes. He may be 15 but he still has a lot of life in him and is quite affectionate. He’d make a good fit in any home, and he gets along famously with cats, dogs and kids. This cat is a win/win.

Easter is coming in a few weeks and lop-eared bunny Mel is still hoping to find his forever home. He’s a big, white, neutered male who is only a year old. His brindle ears are very cute, with one upright and the other flopping down. Mel is very friendly and enjoys attention. Stop in and meet him and see if he’ll eat a carrot or lettuce while you hold it. Who knows, love may blossom with this sweet rabbit.

We also have two exceptional, year-old Abyssinian guinea pigs looking for homes. Both girls are extremely friendly, and Emily especially loves being held. Emily is white with black markings on her head, and her sister Charlotte is a pale caramel and white with a big black spot on her head. Both have those adorable Abyssinian rosettes in their coats. These piggies were hand-raised and both are gems. Emily even comes to the side of the cage asking for attention. If interested come by soon, we;re sure they’ll both be snapped up quickly.

And lastly, if anyone needs any crates or dog food, please stop in to pick some up. We have an over abundance of both and are happy to share.
