Our featured pets this week are Mr. Pickles and Elliott.

Mr. Pickles is a very friendly 10-month-old orange tabby and white cat. He has cute markings on his face and is a very outgoing and social fellow. Mr. Pickles was found as a stray and a nice person brought him to the humane society so he would be out of the cold. Mr. Pickles likes to greet visitors with a cute little “meow” and he likes to be held and

snuggle. What a great way to start the new year by adding Mr. Pickles to your family!

Elliott is a cute black and white five-month-old mixed breed puppy. He weighs less than 15 pounds so he should be a smaller to medium sized dog when full grown. Elliott may be part spaniel and part terrier. He has big brown soulful eyes and a very sweet demeanor. With his playful and happy disposition, Elliott will make a wonderful family pet for many years to come.
