Lavender is a 1½-year-old who came to the shelter as a young stray mom with a litter. Her kittens have all found homes, and now she is hoping it is her turn. She does not mind other cats but would like a slow introduction.
Jessica is a sweet 1½-year-old Rottweiler. She would do best with an owner who has experience with large dogs. Kids older than 10, no cats and a meet-and-greet with other dogs at home are best. Make an appointment to meet her.
