PETS: Ittie, Scout, Dennis

The Humane Society of Harford County recommends the pets of the week.

Dog of the Week: Ittie
Age: 10 years
Color: White & Tan
Breed: Jack Russell/Chihuahua Mix
Gender: Female
Adoption Fee:$95
This sweet little girl is ittie-bitty, hence her name! Ittie is a mature dog who was found as a stray and brought to the shelter so that she could find her forever home. Content to just be held and snuggled, Ittie is a happy little lap-dog. She doesn't like sharing her food or toys however, so at this time we're recommending a home without any small children. Because of her older age and small bladder, Ittie also needs to go outside pretty frequently, so a home where someone is home most of the time would probably benefit her best. If you think Ittie would be a good fit for you and your family, stop by and see her!

Cat of the Week: Scout
Age: 7 and a half years
Color: Grey
Breed: Domestic Shorthair Mix
Gender: Female
Adoption Fee: $25 (until 9/3/12)
Scout here is a little older, but she prefers the term "mature", because she's certainly not old! Sure, she's got a better head on her shoulders than those silly kittens, but don't write her off just yet! Found as a stray, Scout has made the shelter her home for 5 months now, spending her days in the Free Roam Room, lounging in the sunlight or curling up in a bed. It's hard to miss this striking grey lady when you walk in there, as she usually makes her presence known! If you're interested in opening up your heart to a lovely older lady looking for a place to spend her golden years, please consider Scout. (P.S. All cats and kittens are reduced from $95 to just $25 until 9/3/12!)

Small Critter of the Week: Dennis
Age: Adult
Color: White
Breed: Rat
Gender: Male
Adoption Fee: $10
It seems hard to believe that he would be a stray, nevertheless, that's how Dennis turned up at our door. Intelligent, clean and affectionate, rats make great pets, and Dennis is no exception! If you're looking for a docile pocket pet or an easy starter pet for your children, then look no further than Dennis. If you're interested in meeting with him, stop by our small animal room!
