This week, we have Beth, whose sweet personality has already made her a welcome addition, and Gruber, who is truly the definition of man’s best friend. Here are the Jonesboro Right Now Pets of the Week:

Beth: A Staff Favorite

Beth is a black domestic short hair cat. She’s a small one year old who came in with her kittens just a few days ago.

She quickly won over the staff over because she’s so sweet and calm! Beth will be spayed and microchipped before going home, and we’re getting her up to date on all vaccines and preventatives. She’s going to make someone the purrfect pet!

How to adopt: For more details on taking the next steps to adopt, review the shelter’s guidelines here or fill out the online adoption application.

Gruber: Playful and Loves People

Gruber is a male 21 week old pup who’ll be a medium-sized adult. He’s been in the shelter for a month, and he’s the life of the party!

He’s been microchipped, neutered and is up to date on all vaccines and preventatives. Gruber loves people and other dogs and is playful and affectionate. He’s ready for his furever home!
