Ready for a good listener? This sweet girl at Melissa’s Second Chances is all ears

Pearl

Breed: Pit bull terrier mix

Age: 2

Say hello to the happiest girl. Pearl is the sweetest girl and loves attention. She is a great walker and doesn’t pull. She’s also a good listener and doesn’t jump. Pearl is good around older kids and dog-savvy cats. She’s also very curious about dogs and wants to play with them but can be selective. She is 2 years old, microchipped, spayed and up-to-date on vaccines. If you would like to meet this sweet girl, please fill out an application on the Melissa’s Second Chances website. She would love to meet you soon.

Smokey

Breed: Domestic shorthair

Age: 10 years

Smokey is a gorgeous tuxedo cat who has the cutest meow you have ever heard. Like most cats, she can be a bit shy at first, but once she warms up, she is very affectionate. She is currently staying in a foster home to take a break from shelter life. She enjoys a quieter space so she can cozy up for long naps. If you’re looking for a purr-ty companion to binge watch holiday movies with, you should meet Smokey. She is ready for a lifetime of love and cuddles. Meet her at Wayside Waifs today.

Howard

Breed: Labrador retriever

Age: 2 years

This handsome guy is super smart and working with our team to build his confidence. He doesn’t appreciate feline friendships, so he needs a home without cats. Howard is also available for a slumber pawty, which means he can come and stay overnight for up to 10 days to make sure it’s a good fit for him and his new potential family. You can meet Howard today at Wayside Waifs to learn more about him.

Wayside Waifs is able to welcome visitors without an appointment. To learn about the adoption process and available animals, go here.
