Local Pets Available For Adoption

BRICK – Ziggy and Ricky were surrendered by the family of their senior owners who were no longer able to care for them. They are both Siamese mixes. Ricky was originally adopted from us in 2008 and is 14 years old. Ziggy was adopted from another local rescue in 2008 and is 11 years old. They are a bonded pair so we need to find a home where they can be together. Ricky does like to play with a wand toy and the ball tower. He is super sweet and easy to handle. Ziggy is a little grumpier old man but can be seen playing with his stuffed mice.
