Brandi

Both of our Pet’s of the Week are just back from an exciting day at the Sauk Prairie Small Animal Hospital’s Open House. Brandi is a terrific little gal, sassy and sweet, she is spayed and about five years old. She rides in a car like a pro, is house trained and enjoys other animals and meeting new people. A bit shy at first, once she knows you she is has an “in your pocket” personality and loves to sit on your lap and be brushed. One look into her eyes and you can see that she is a gentle and loving soul with much left to give.

Ernie

Ernie (along with his brother, Bert ) can be a real ham, stout and healthy with the most magnificent black and white coat, Ernie can be distinguished by the black spot on his chinnie-chin-chin. These boys are very entertaining and will make terrific additions to any home –solo or together, they are looking for action and fun. Let the good times ROLL!
Along with our great selection of cats and dogs, we also currently have several rabbits that are looking for new homes.
