This week's Pets of the Week at the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter this week are Jack and Sally, two playful, friendly kittens brought to the shelter at the start of October. Since coming to the shelter Jack and Sally have grown to be healthy and strong, they've had all their vaccines and have been neutered and spayed, and, most important, they're much more comfortable being around people. They enjoy petting and snuggling as well as active play with wand and bat-around toys, and love to wrestle and chase one another, then cuddle together for a nice nap! For more info, and to find out about upcoming Shelter events, read the full post, listen to Pet-O-Rama at 11am Thursdays here on the pig or visit the shelter, located at 1001 Rodriguez St. in Santa Cruz and open from 11am to 6pm every day.

October is both National Adopt A Shelter Dog Month and National Pit Bull Awareness Month, so this week's Pets of the Week at the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter this week are (literally) pit bulls from A to Z - that is, Andre to Ziya! Andre is about 9 months old and arrived as a stray with 3 other dogs. He's a stout little dog who may be a Staffordshire terrier mix, with a shiny black & brown brindle coat with some white on his chest and paws. Ziya originally landed, with a litter of pups, at another shelter in the region. Her puppies were adopted quickly, and she's waited patiently for months for that forever home. For more info, and to find out about upcoming Shelter events, read the full post, listen to Pet-O-Rama at 11am Thursdays here on the pig or visit the shelter, located at 1001 Rodriguez St. in Santa Cruz and open from 11am to 6pm every day.
