Sally has met other dogs at the shelter, but she can be very particular about with which canines she likes to hang. Sally can also be quite timid, so her perfect home would be one that will be patient and preferably without kids under the age of 8. Is Sally the one for you? JACK is a terrifi c boy who arrived at the shelter about a year ago and thought he’d found his forever home. But his adopter could no longer keep him. So Jack is on the lookout for his fi nal forever home where he can put his bags down and stay put! He’s a handsome striped tiger, very friendly, who loves attention. Come in and give him the happy home he deserves! SPONSORED BY YOUR PET-FRIENDLY REALTOR! Sponsored by Seventh-Day Adventist Church 386 N.
