Meet Shelby, the latest Pet of the Week. Shelby is a pint-size pittie with a big personality.
Here’s what her friends at Lost Dog and Cat Rescue Foundation had to say about her:
Are you an adventurer looking for a big dog personality in a travel-size package? Small enough to never have to leave behind but tough enough to handle any terrain!
Shelby is pint-sized pittie with a character the size of Texas. She’s a triple shot Americano in a half-sized espresso cup, a pocket rocket with a mischievous side that is easily overlooked in favor of her zest for life and cuddly, silky soft fur!
Shelby is a carpe diem kinda girl. She seizes the day and comes out full throttle, ready to embrace whatever adventure awaits. She is a whirlwind of love, life and unbridled joy.
She is looking for an active family with teenagers or adults only, a fenced-in backyard and perhaps another high-energy doggy playmate. Bring on the fun — she may be little but she be mighty!
If you are interested in adopting Shelby, please contact Kat Sanders [email protected].
Are you and Shelby the perfect match?

This week’s Pet of the Week isn’t your average cat or dog — it’s Tootsie! Tootsie is a sweet bunny who, though at times is shy, loves being hugged and exploring.
Here’s what Tootsie’s friends at Friends of Rabbits have to say about her:
Tootsie is a very sweet bunny who likes to explore, spend time with people and get treats. She is a bit shy and has nipped once when she needed to be released from being held. She likes to be hugged, though, to investigate people, and to have her head rubbed. She is a lovable bunny and is ready for her forever home.
Tootsie is not experienced with dogs or cats, but she likes children. She can be skittish but is friendly when she wants to be and enjoys attention. Her foster dad doesn’t consider her territorial. She’s a big fan of boxes (which she likes to push around), brown paper and toilet paper rolls filled with hay. She’s a great eater, including hay (and everything else!). Her litter box habits are pretty good, and she always uses her litter box to pee but not so much to poop.
Could you and Tootsie be the perfect match?

This week’s Pet of the Week is Ricky Martin, a friendly and easygoing kitten who’s looking for his forever home.
Here’s what his friends at 4Paws Rescue Team have to say about him:
Ricky Martin is the most adorable, playful kitten! The only kitten in his litter, he has learned to get along with just about everyone! Ricky Martin is extremely playful and can entertain himself with any toy, often turning a sock, a string or any other object into something fun. (He also loves dog toys!) He loves playing with other cats and dogs.
Ricky Martin is being fostered with his mom, Selena, two resident cats and a dog, and he gets along with them all. He has been around other dogs and cats that have been brought into the home, as well as children. He would be a great addition to any household!
Kittens his age must be adopted in pairs unless there’s another young cat in the home already. He could easily be paired with his mama, Selena Wise. His estimated birth date is 5/16/21, which means he’ll be ready to go to his forever home anytime now. His mama tested negative for FIV and FeLV. He has had or will have age-appropriate vaccinations and microchipping before adoption; he will need to be neutered when old enough.
Are you ready to live la vida loca with Ricky Martin?
