Happy ever after needed here

Shelter pets available for adoption todayThe Caldwell County

Animal Shelter has a best friend waiting for you. Dozens of puppies and adult dogs, kittens and cats are available for adop-tion today.

Among the featured pets this week are Cloud, Reggie, Dougie, Rosie, Leo and Lena.

A Husky type, this beautiful girl was rescued from a neglectful situation by a woman who brought her to the shelter in hopes that a loving home can be found for her. Cloud has no issues associated with being neglected.

She is a little thin, but is gaining weight every day.

Cloud has a very sweet way about her and enjoys any attention she is given. She is good with children and other animals.

Her looks and person-ality make a winning com-bination for a wonderful companion!

Poor old Reggie! He was found huddled up alongside a road by a pass-er-by and brought to the shelter. We have to believe

that this senior Beagle is someone’s beloved pet.

Reggie is the sweetest boy and will let you love and cuddle him to your heart’s content.

A volunteer came by Saturday to walk dogs and when he was ready to walk Reggie, the dog had a different idea. Reggie decided that he’d rather be carried (though he can still walk) outside to soak up the sun and he spent some quality time sitting in the volunteer’s lap being stroked and caressed.

If Reggie’s owners can’t be located, we hope some-one will give this precious old dog a loving home in which to spend his golden years.

All right…all together…awwwwww! What a cutie! Dougie, a three month old tri-color Beagle, is a heart stealer!

We’ll be honest…we could go on and on with precious puppy adjectives, but, seriously, you’ve got eyes and can see for your-self. Dougie has a sweet little puppy personality,

but the kind of dog he grows into is up to his adopter.

Please come see Dougie and become his role model!

Rosie is a two year old Feist/Terrier mix, and she’s a sweetie. Her first adoption fell through and this little lady has kind of gotten lost in the shuffle.

Rosie is a wonderfully affectionate dog, but she doesn’t stand out in a crowd. She gets passed over in favor of some of the “flashier” dogs.

If you want a good, basic, wags-its-tail, glad-to-see-you, loves-you-unconditionally dog, then Rosie fills the bill and you all would live happily ever after.

Lena and Leo are three month old brother and sis-ter Beagle (Their mother is a full Beagle.) mixes who have the most unusu-al brindle coloring. As with most puppies, they are playful, affectionate and cuddly.

We could go on and on about these precious pooches, but a picture is worth a thousand words. Their character traits are up to you, the adopter, and how these babies are raised.

Lena and Leo are pretty much blank slates waiting for a master who raises them right.

Shelter Needs this week:Desperately needing

rawhide chews and chew-ies. Dogs in kennels need something to do to pass the time, and we have found that chewies keep them from becoming too bored.
