ALEX is an incredibly sweet
1.5-year-old shepherd mix. She
was brought to HSCO after her
owners were unable to keep her
due to changes in their life. Alex
is a smart, active gal who would
make an excellent addition to a
family looking for an adventure
buddy. Alex can be a timid girl
in new situations, and will need
a home with no children younger
than 12. Come meet her today!
SHUNEE knows what she wants
and is quick to tell you what she
doesn’t want! This queen will
allow a few pets on her head and
shoulders (not too much on the
back and tail, thanks!) and will talk
to you at meal time to make sure
you’re serving her at the proper
moment. Her perfect home will be
one with only adults (and maybe
other cats). Are you ready to serve
at Her Majesty’s pleasure?
