This week our featured pets are Jasmine and Diego.

Jasmine is a gorgeous dilute calico that was brought to the humane society as a friendly stray. She is a young adult and has a slender body and refined features giving her an exotic appearance. Jasmine was a little shy at first, which is quite understandable, but she has adjusted quickly and enjoys petting and one on one attention. This sweet and gentle girl will make a wonderful addition to most any home searching for a relaxed and beautiful lap kitty.

Diego is a 1-year-old mixed breed. He’s a big, beautiful boy weighing 65 pounds and may be part hound and part lab. Diego was a stray and unfortunately his owner was not found so he’s ready for a fresh start. Diego is a happy fellow, just look at the big smile in his photo. He is friendly and energetic and does well in play groups with other dogs. Diego is neutered, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped, so come for a meet and greet and see if he is your perfect match.
