Our dog of the week is “Whiskers.” “Whiskers” is a two-year old male Airdale-Hound mix, red in color. He is extremely friendly, gentle and usually “grins” at his friends.
Our cat of the week is “Creamsicle.” “Creamsicle” is a one year old female orange tabby cat. She is affectionate and sweet.
Whiskers and Creamsicle are now at the Wayne County Animal Shelter and are looking for good homes along with many other wonderful pets.
