Pets of the Week: Shadow, Clyde & His Buddy Bonnie
Shadow is a beautiful dog looking for the right home. Photo by Pet Adoption Fund
Handsome, athletic and eager to please, Shadow is waiting at the Pet Adoption Fund in Canoga Park for a new family. This Husky/Shepherd mix is a big, sweet teddy bear of a dog. Age 3 to 4, he has one blue and one brown eye, alert ears, a goofy smile and fluffy tail. Even though his looks get attention and he walks great on leash, Shadow is still waiting for that special someone. Please give him a chance! Shadow is house-trained, neutered, very loyal and needs an experienced adopter. He should be in an adult home as the only pet and with someone familiar with larger dogs. Around 85-plus pounds, he can reach 6 feet tall to offer a happy greeting or give hugs/kisses.
Clyde needs his Bonnie
Clyde the cat is an orange and white Tabby with a very unique tail that curves forward. He is 12 years old, nice with everyone, and loves his best buddy Bonnie, a 10-year-old female Calico. They are a bonded pair and would make great company for an older person. Both are gentle, enjoy petting, and will melt your heart. They are fixed, up-to-date with shots, and ready to go to a good home today. Please consider this pair; they are double the love!Pet Adoption Fund is the largest non-profit, no-kill animal rescue organization in Southern California. They are staffed primarily by volunteers, and exist solely on donations. Their mission is to rescue, shelter, and find loving permanent homes for the many wonderful, yet previously abandoned, neglected or abused companion animals. Their facility houses around 175 dogs and 75 cats, of all sizes, ages and breeds. For more info on Shadow or Clyde & Bonnie, contact The Pet Adoption Fundor visit them 1:00-5:00 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday.
