Beauty, Grass are Shelter Pets of the Week

Each week, the Douglas County Animal Shelter highlights a cat and a dog as the “Pets of the Week.” All animals at the Shelter are looking for loving and permanent homes, and it is hoped that the “Pets of the Week” highlight will help bring attention to all of the animals currently housed at the Douglas County Animal Shelter.

Beauty #9861 is a beautiful grey and white female Boxer mix who is a beauty inside and out. She gets along well with other dogs and has a very playful, fun nature. Beauty has had some obedience training and will sit, lie down, and stay on command. She is gentle and submissive and is already leash trained.

Grass #9829 is a male Domestic Short-hair kitten with beautiful green eyes. This grey tabby is a fine feline specimen and would make an excellent house cat to sit by the fireplace and purr on cold winter nights.
