Pets of the Week

>>Rose A vizsla/ Labrador retriever mix, Rose (#441068) is sweet and playful. The 1-year-old knows how to sit and is learning other commands. She gets along with other pets and enjoys playing with them and with people. She'd do best in a home where everyone appreciates a young, active dog. Adoption fee: $75 To adopt or foster a pet

She'd even welcome going home along with another of the many kittens awaiting adoption at the shelter.
