Bucky, Blizzard 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.

Bucky #10059 is a beautiful medium adult male tri-colored tan and black Beagle mix who would make a great addition to the family. Bucky is great with other dogs and is already house trained.

Blizzard #10080 is a beautiful male Domestic Short Hair kitten, predominately white with black markings. This friendly little feline would make a great addition to a family.

There are currently 63 cats and 74 dogs at the shelter. Some of the animals have already been spayed or neutered. All adoptable animals are listed on www.petfinder.com.  

Cats available for adoption include domestic short hair, domestic medium hair and domestic long hair varieties. Most of the cats are very sweet, get along with other cats, and are litter box trained.

Dogs include pit bulls, pit bull mixes, Shepherd mixes, German Shepherds, Labrador Retriever mixes, Australian Shepherd mixes, Chihuahua mixes, Shih Tzu, Poodle mixes, Shar Pei mixes, Terrier mixes, Pug mixes and more.  Many of the dogs know simple commands, are very loving, seem to get along well with other dogs and somewhat house-trained.
