Picture Pawfect Pets of the Month

Picture Pawfect

Charlotte and Lucy

Domestic Short Hairs, 4 years old

Charlotte and Lucy have been together since they were tiny kittens at the Jacksonville Humane Society. Being cats, the pair possess independent streaks and are not afraid to let their curiosity lead them to grab ice out of a glass, tear open packages of mail, or steal a sheet of paper from the printer and run away with it. “Lucy used to jump in my fiancé’s lap every night at dinner,” says her owner Nathalie. “We decided to give her a spot at the table and, every night, she jumps into her seat to eat with us.”

Macy

Toy Schnauzer, 10 years old

This little girl is bilingual, just like her mama Elisa. Usually very well behaved, she does get into trouble when she plays with and eats the toiler paper roll in the bathroom. She was born in Baton Rouge but loves Jax, especially visiting places like Brewhound Dog Park. Her best trick? Waiting until Elisa says, “go!” to begin eating.

Byrdie Baker

Brittany/Poodle Mix, 1 year old

Originally from Indiana farm country, today Byrdie has a full-time job as the therapy dog at St. Johns Country Day School. According to staff and students, she works hard at giving kisses and cuddles, particularly to those who need a little love. Her favorite toy is a stuffed leather squirrel and she almost never gets into trouble—except when she eats too many treats. u
