Barely Used Pets (dog)
Farmer is BUP’s Pet of the Week. He is from a dog pound in Kentucky. Farmer showed up on a farm that couldn’t keep him as they already had several dogs, so he went to the dog warden. He is about 60 pounds and is underweight. He should be about 80 pounds. He may have St. Bernard or Australian Shepherd in him, but he is definitely Kentucky blend. Farmer has had his vaccinations and is scheduled to be neutered. He likes kids, rides and other dogs. He walks on a leash and has had some house training. Farmer’s adoption fee is $150. Come and meet our Farmer Boy.

PAWS Animal Shelter (cat)
This week’s pet is Rizzo, a 7-month-old female domestic shorthaired kitten. She is a sweet kitty who likes to be petted and loves to play. Rizzo can be a little scared of things so she may do best in a home without toddlers. She does OK with other cats, but may like being the only cat in the house. Rizzo has been spayed and is up to date on vaccinations. Stop by and visit her in the Cattery room at the Paws Animal Shelter.
