Doggie DNA: The reveal party and the info your veterinarian needs

Clear the Shelters: hundreds of local adoptable pets need forever homes

Pick Of The Litter: Kitty
Yes, that is her actual name. Sheโs very vocal, and she vocalizes in a grumbly fashion. Sometimes she growls and hisses, but that mostly happens when youโre not giving her the attention she wants. It can also sometimes occur when youโre giving her too much attention. She will let you know what she wants and when she wants it, and sheโll be sure to teach you all of her rules. If youโre spending time with her, she LOVES to get in your lap and roll around receiving pets. But if you go to put her down, she will likely grumble. If youโre ready for a cat to dominate your life, Kitty may very well be the kitty for you!
