The following are the Pets of the Week at Burke County Animal Services:
Baby Girl: This stunning girl is ready to be someone’s best friend. She is dog-, cat- and kid-friendly, walks pretty well on a leash once she’s had some time to relax and just wants love and attention. She is estimated to be 1-2 years old.
Pebbles: This handsome pup is excited to meet his new family. He is good with other dogs and absolutely loves to snuggle. Pebbles is estimated to be around 5 months old.
Tatum: This handsome kitten has been at the shelter for more than 100 days now with a snotty nose. He has completed two different lines of antibiotics, and his nose is still runny. He is a love bug who our vet believes just needs an opportunity to get out of the shelter environment. His adoption fee is waived, and he is up to date on all vaccines and FIV/FELV negative.
Dorian: This handsome kitten has been at the shelter for more than 100 days now with a snotty nose. He has completed two different lines of antibiotics, and his nose is still runny. He is sweet boy who our vet believes just needs an opportunity to get out of the shelter environment. His adoption fee is waived, and he is up to date on all vaccines and FIV/FELV negative.
