Dixie!
>
Dixie is a beautiful English Coonhound and she is SO SWEET! She is about 1 year old, and 40 pounds. Dixie is a total love bug and would be a great family pet. She seems okay with cats, and gets along with male dogs. Whoever adopts her will need to have a backyard so she can let out some of her energy. She loves to run! Dixie really wants a loving home, one that will shower her with the attention she deserves. She's ready to go home today so come visit with her!
Bojangles
Bojangles is a sweet, handsome, lovable guy! He is a very social and friendly feline that just loves to play and receive attention. He can often be found play-wrestling with his many feline friends. Bojangles is 1-1/2 years old as of April 2008. He has a very soft black and white coat of medium-length hair. If you are looking for that special pal to help fill your days with love and fun, we definitely recommend coming in to meet Mr. Bojangles!
