JIMMY (A0974792) is a little medium-sized mutt guy who is full of energy and fun! He loves to run and play, especially with his doggie friends in the play yard. His best features are his pop-up ears that look like they're receiving messages from another planet. Jimmy has a great disposition that will really make you smile. He's about full grown at a year old so he will stay about 40 pounds. Jimmy is heartworm negative, neutered, microchipped and current on all his shots. A forever home would make this a happy new year for Jimmy!

BETTIE (A0831989) is a bull dog mix with a face so ugly you have to love it! She is heartworm positive so Bettie will need a special home or rescuer to help her get healthy. As you can see from the pictures, Bettie is a real snuggle bug who is very loyal to her friends and eager to please. She loves to give kisses and have her belly rubbed. Because she's so loyal she gets jealous when other dogs are around so she she may do best in a one dog home, and we don't recommend cats with Bettie. This special girl is spayed and microchipped and current on all her shots. Resolve to help shelter dogs in '09 and rescue Bettie!

The adoption fee is only $55 for the dogs and includes: surgery for spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming, microchipping and 1 year city license. What a deal for a lifelong friend!! You can go to the address below to find these dogs (and many others!):
