Garbanzo, Clover, and Navy – Males – 4 months – Hound mix

Meet Mama Lentil’s remaining Legumes! These three pups are full of energy, excitement, and lots of love! Born in our care in April, these hounds have grown up right before our eyes. Many of their siblings have already been adopted, but these three are also waiting to find their fur-ever homes too. We are having a special on these bouncy pups, where they are available to adopt for a reduced price of $250. They are quite vocal, always letting you know what is going on around them, and they are very interested in the world! As they are getting bigger, they will need to do a meet and greet with any dogs from your home, and Mama Lentil has a very keen prey drive, so it is important to keep this in mind if you have any small pets in your house. Schedule an appointment to meet with any of these three boys!

Pears – Male – 1 year – Orange tabby

Meet Pears! This adorable little orange tabby is extremely cat-social, though he gets a bit spooked by new people. He does not like to be approached or held by people, but he is a resident member of our FCAS Cuddle Puddle! He absolutely loves to snuggle and to play with other cats. He also loves wet food and spring toys. He is on a special diet of C/D food for urinary care, so keep that in mind when it comes to food if you have other cats. He should go to a home with other cats, and he has the potential to become more social with people when in a home.
