Pets Of The Week: Bonded Pair Of English Bulldogs & Little Tabby Penelope
Hey ladies! Photos Courtesy of Ace of Hearts.
()
Today's adoptable pets are from Ace of Hearts, an organization that rescues from the city's shelters. Ace of Hearts rescues ALL breeds and doesn't discriminate. Hurray!
Meet Bulldog babes, Caroline and Marley. These gorgeous gals are 2 year old bonded English Bulldogs who were dumped at a shelter, possibly by a breeder. Caroline and Marley are sweethearts who have two times the love to give to a special someone or family. This duo is very affectionate, eager to please, and will shower you with big bulldog kisses. They're very smart, know basic commands like sit and stay, and walk well on leash. As mentioned, this pair is bonded and love each other to pieces and are simply not themselves when they're apart. Caroline and Marley are looking for the perfect forever home where they can continue to share their lives together.

Adopt Penelope
Penelope is a nice little Tabby who is a bit on the shy side. She would love to be your one and only (no other felines in the household, please) and also to live in a relaxed home. Penelope tends to hide at first, but eventually she'll come out of her hidey hole, when she feels secure. Give her lots of love, TLC, her favorite dry cat kibble and a nice cardboard scratcher and Penelope will settle in nicely. Ace of Hearts' mobile adoption event is today, Saturday July 16th from 1pm-4pm at the Ptco in West Hollywood. Visit the Ace of Hearts website for more information on adopting or to find other pets looking for love.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
