Open your heart to a shelter animal

Pinellas — Sterling

Sterling is an older, long haired, male cat. He’s easy going and loves to spend his days snuggled in your lap. He’s neutered, micro-chipped and up to date on his vaccinations. If you want to give him a home, fill out an application on the Friends of Strays website at friendsofstrays.org/adopt.

Pasco — Julio

Julio is always smiling and ready to play. The chocolate colored male is always up for a game of fetch, but only wants to bring the ball back 50-percent of the time. He arrived at the shelter heart worm positive, but is currently under treatment. Continued treatment will be paid for by Friends of Animal Services. If you’d like to be his fetch partner, contact Pasco County Animal Services at (813) 929-1212.

Hernando — Jackson

Jackson is a big, baby boy. The 2-year-old Great Dane mix weighs 82-pounds. He’s shy, but craves attention and loves to lean into you. Since he’s still puppy-ish, he needs room to play and plenty of exercise. He’s the center of attention, so he’s best suited to be the only animal in the house. If you’ve got love to share, and a big enough play space, contact Hernando County Animal Services at (352) 796-5062.

Hillsborough — Daisy Mae

Daisy Mae and her bonded sibling BooBoo are both 7-years-old and each weigh 40-pounds. The pair became homeless after their owner died. They are both spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. For more information or to adopt them, contact Paw Print Hearts at PawPrintHearts.com, or find them on Facebook @PawPrintHearts.
