Bey Bey, Foxy are County Animal Shelter Pets of the Week

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.

Bey Bey #8563 is a regal-looking black and white female domestic short hair cat. This queenly feline holds her graceful long neck up when she looks over her dominion.  A very sweet cat, she will make a wonderful lap warmer as fall and winter’s chill approaches.

Foxy #9215 is a beautiful and intelligent red and black Shepherd mix. This young non-spayed female has a luscious red, black and white coat and a sweet personality.

There are currently 105 cats and 88 dogs at the Shelter, and the Shelter is overcrowded. Some of the animals have already been spayed or neutered. All adoptable animals are listed on www.petfinder.com. This inventory is in addition to the cats who were rescued from the hoarding situation.

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.
