The Community Star prints adoptable pet information weekly. Area shelters, rescues and foster groups can send contact information along with jpg photos of available pets — using Pets of the Week in the subject line — to news editor Paul Eisenberg at peisenberg@tribpub.com.
Handsome panda bear, Gus is a 3-year-old pitbull mix who is a big lovable fella who’s waiting for his chance. Gus is a strong guy and would do best in a home with no small children and a fenced yard. This boy is always smiling from ear to ear and appreciates any attention he gets.
Petey is an energetic 4-month-old, 11 pound Jack Russell/rat terrier pup who loves people, other dogs and to run and play.
Kyro likes to jump up to say hi as much as he likes long walks. He is a high-drive dog so would definitely benefit from some training. He does well in play groups at the shelter, but can be somewhat dog selective. Kyro would do best in a home with no small children and an experienced large dog owner.
Karen is demanding to know why she has been waiting five long months for a home. She is a beautiful 1-year-old gray gal who doesn’t always get along with others, so she would prefer to be your one and only pet. She can be oh so sweet and loving, but she is looking for a cat savvy home that truly understands her.
Desi was found as a stray and was the king of his neighborhood. Now he just wants to wrestle and play with the other cats. Desi is considered an alpha male which means he needs to be the king of your home. He does well with high energetic cats like himself that want to tussle and roll around on the floor. He’d be better with older kids as he can get overly excited sometimes
