Meet Polo: Polo is a one-year-old male who is only around 30 lbs and has been in the shelter for 13 weeks. He’s already neutered and microchipped, is HW-negative, and up to date on all his vaccines and preventatives. Polo is high-energy and active! He’s also very affectionate and friendly, and adapts well to new situations and people.

Meet Priscilla: Priscilla is a female calico domestic short hair who is a year and a half old. She’s up to date on vaccines and preventatives and will be spayed and microchipped before she’s sent home. While she’s only been in the shelter for 4 days, Priscilla is already a staff favorite because she’s so cuddly and sweet! (She’s also kind of lazy LOL.)
