T H E SOUT H E AST ' S LA R G E ST
>>> PET PLANET | T H IS MONT H ' S P E TS
MEET HARLEY AND JENNY // VERY SWEET FAMILY ADDITIONS Meet Harley, a six year old male Chihuahua with a smooth tan coat and white markings on his chest! Harley is tiny, weighing only 11.5 pounds, but he thinks he is as big as a Doberman! Like many Chihuahuas, Harley can have a bit of an attitude at first but, once he warms up he is a real love bug who loves attention and human companionship! He would be fine in an apartment but, due to his petite size, should not be around children under 16 years old. Harley does have some food aggression issues; he could live without other dogs and has never met a cat, so he would definitely be better as an only pet. Harley is up to date on his vet care, crate trained, neutered, heartworm negative and is microchipped. He has started heartworm and flea/tick prevention. If you are interested in giving Harley the forever home he wants and deserves, contact the West Alabama Humane Society by calling 205. 554.0011, or visit us online at humanesocietyofwa.org Meet Jenny, a shorthaired female with a beautiful gray and white coat. Jenny is approximately two and-a-half years old and was rescued along with her litter mates in a tornado-damaged area of Tuscaloosa following the April 27th tornadoes. Jenny is very sweet and affectionate. She is calm, gentle, and generally low-energy. She should do well around children who can handle her gently. Jenny is used to being around other cats but has never met a dog. She is up to date on her vet care, spayed and negative for FIV/FeLK. If you are interested in adopting Jenny, contact the West Alabama Humane Society by calling 205. 554.0011, or visit us online at humanesocietyofwa.org
