SELKI is a 1-year-old pit bull mix
who arrived as a stray. She is now
ready to fi nd a home! Selki is a big
cuddler who loves to snuggle and
hang out in her person’s lap; she
also loves to play with other dogs!
She’s learning how to be a polite
adult pup, so a basic obedience
course would be awesome for this
sweet gal (and she does need a
home without kitties). Is she the
one for you this Valentine’s Day?

“Hi, I’m GERTIE, and I hope you
can appreciate my beautiful tabby
coat! I’m a domestic shorthair kitty
around 5 or 6 years old (I refuse
to tell), and I’ve matured into a
cuddly hunk of love. It’s not that
I’m overweight or anything; it’s just
that my love is boundless! Won’t
you come meet me and take me
home? The folks at the shelter are
so nice, but we all know that
a shelter is no substitution for a
real family of my very own.”
