Charlie
Dog- Charlie-tan pitmix-face-09-2010.jpg (448x336)

September has rolled in and so to have the beautiful autumn colors that can also be seen in our pets of the week. Charlie, a wonderful, happy-go-lucky, lab mix is our first to charm you this week. He sports a remarkable sunny, harvest gold coat with white accents and has a friendly glint in his eyes that says “happy to make your acquaintance”. Adorable and young,(around seven months and already neutered), he is affectionate with everyone he meets- two and four footed. Charlie is guaranteed to put some “zippity-do-da” back in your day!

Janie

Back to our focus on fall colors, check out our little girl Janie. Jane is a spayed female calico around four months of age. She comes in a lovely array of colors all spilling from a soft muted gray base that is splashed with pumpkin orange and puffy clouds of white, she is a delightful sight indeed! Perky and petite, she will easily win your heart with her kind disposition.
