Meet these Pets of the Week at Burke County Animal Services:
Lemon Drop: This sweet girl is our longest resident at the shelter. She is about 3 years old and spayed. She does good around dogs but cannot be around cats. She loves to play with other dogs and can be a hard player so she needs someone to play with.
Copper: This adorable gentleman is ready for his forever home. He is about 1-2 years old and neutered. He does good around all animals and loves to play with friends. His favorite thing to do is play in the yard with his roommate. He would do great with another dog and needs another dog friend.
Shrimp: This sweet girl is about 8 weeks old and is ready for her forever home. She is part of a full litter of seafood kittens, and they are adorable and super friendly. She is a sweetheart who wants to play but also would not mind a couch cuddle or two. Her brother, Lobster, also is a Pet of the Week, so check him out, too.
Lobster: This lovable guy is also about 8 weeks old and is ready for his forever home. He is super playful and loves to be held at all times. It also helps that he is super adorable. The whole litter is still at the shelter, so please come meet them.
All adoptions include up-to-date vaccines, preventatives, a spay or neuter, and dogs will be heartworm tested.
