I'm Ozzy and I arrived at the Regional Animal Adoption Center last week. I'm a young, energetic Pit mix who would love to get out of the shelter and find a family to love me, a buddy to run with and a place to call my own. I know that there are many, many wonderful dogs looking for homes, but I hope that my sweet brown eyes and jaunty smile will capture your heart! I'm housetrained, heartworm negative and current on all my vaccinations. And I'm told I will be neutered later this week - eek! THIS IS PAULA. 5 Paula here! I'm the latest kitten to show up at the Regional Animal Adoption Center and the cutest. (I don't mean to brag, but it's true!) I'm a medium-haired tabby and only about four months old, so I have plenty of kitten snuggles left to go around. I'm not sure what I'm doing at this shelter, but playing with the volunteers is great and playing with you would be even better! Won't you take me home with you so we can play and cuddle together...forever and ever.
