Pet of the Week
ajc_690

Atlanta Journal & Constitution - Pet of the Week

Name: Duffie
Age: 2 years old
Sex: Neutered Male
Shelter Location: Atlanta Humane Society: Howell Mill Campus
Breed: Maine Coon mix
Special Needs: None

Comments: Duffie, a 2-year-old neutered Maine Coon mix, is a gorgeous, sweet tabby boy who enjoys affection. Duffie has beautiful long, extremely soft fur and will need frequent brushing and a good scratching post to keep his claws in top shape. Your veterinarian can show you how to trim the claws regularly to cut down on inappropriate scratching. Scratching is natural for cats, so keeping their claws short and giving them appropriate places to scratch is helping to fulfill their needs. Duffie is currently in our community cat room, and seems to get along with the other kitties pretty well. He’s an easygoing, laid-back kinda guy who enjoys perching up high, lying in patches of sunlight, and enjoying a good meal. He does shed, so if that bothers you, Duffie says, “Hey…can’t help it, man.” We don’t know how he will be with children or other pets, so bring all human family members to meet him, and if you have existing pets, be prepared to introduce Duffie properly and slowly (we have a brochure that can help you). Duffie has been microchipped and dewormed. He will be available at 2:00 pm today at the Atlanta Humane Society Howell Mill Campus, 981 Howell Mill Rd. NW. Sealed bids will be accepted starting at 10:00 am if more than one party is interested. Please note that the highest bidder must meet adoption qualifications.

Mansell Campus - Staff’s Dog of the Week

Name: Jessie
Age: 2 years 4 months
Sex: Spayed Female
Shelter Location: Atlanta Humane Society: Mansell Campus
Breed: Terrier/Pit Bull Mix
Special Needs: None

Comments: Jessie is a sweetheart who is a little timid at first, but easily warms up to people. Her previous home was with children (she was returned due to allergies) and she would probably do well in a family home. She likes to run in the yard and occasionally chew on a ball. She shows interest in other dogs and may do well as a second dog. Jessie is on a special diet but could be a great addition to your home. Come down to AHS to meet her today.

Mansell Campus – Staff’s Cat of the Week

 

Name: Patty
Age: 2 years 3 months
Sex: Spayed Female
Shelter Location: Atlanta Humane Society: Mansell Campus
Breed: Domestic longhair/Mix
Special Needs: None

Comments: Hi, my name is Patty. I came to the Atlanta Humane Society because my previous owner could no longer take care of me. I am a sweet girl that is looking for a family that will spoil me for the rest of my life. My fur is soft, long, and beautiful, which will require regular brushing and/or grooming to maintain it. If you think that I can be a great addition to your family, come on by for a meet and greet and see how you can take me home today! I am altered and ready to go home!

Please call 404.829.2974 and reference the ID# to find out more information on this pet.

Please note: The animals pictured here were available for adoption at the time of this posting. The animals we have at the Atlanta Humane Society change daily and we cannot guarantee the availability of animals pictured; however, the Atlanta Humane Society always has a great selection of companion pets, so come visit us in person to find the perfect one for you!
