Courage is a nine-month-old, neutered male, domestic short hair who loves to play. He has a colorful gray-black-brown-and-white coat and a super-sweet disposition.

Alley is a beautiful girl who’s just waiting to steal your heart. A one-year-old, spayed female, this black-and-white Border Collie mix loves people and other animals, and would love to bring her protective family instincts to your family or household.

Mystery is a one-and-a-half-year-old domestic short hair, and he’s a big boy.

Pets of the Week

I visited the Carter County Animal Shelter this week, and they have plenty of animals in need of rescue, or a place to call home.

There’s nothing more rewarding in this world than to feel the unconditional love of another soul, whether it be the love of a child, a significant other, or a wonderful, new pet who idolizes and depends on you. Visit a local shelter, adopt a new cat or dog, and see for yourself - its amazing.
