Hash Brown, Whippy are Shelter Animals 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.

Hash Brown #10150 is a medium black and white female American Pit Bull Terrier-mix puppy. She has already had her rabies vaccination and is eager to find a special home. She is a very cute and sweet little dog.

Whippy #10292 is a Domestic Long Hair adult female cat. She has a beautiful grey and white bi-color coat and ready to perch under the Christmas tree and play with the ribbon and wrapping paper!
 
There are currently 59 cats and 52 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, as well as two Russian blue kittens.  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, a purebred German Shepherd, 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.
