Furry Friends| Nala and Squirrel

With the weather taking a turn for the worst, negative temperatures hitting and people trapped inside their houses in fear of frostbite, a pet could make these days a little bit warmer.

Having a pet that can be both playful and relaxed is the best of both worlds. They will give you entertainment, love and cuddles for when you have to go outside in the winter. Homeward Animal Shelter has many available cats and dogs up for adoption.

Here are two of the animals that could be your forever buddy.

Nala

Meet Nala, a Shepherd/ Border Collie mix. She is 2 years old and arrived at Homeward Animal Shelter Jan. 20.

She loves long walks and small adventures to let her energetic side run free. Do you want a dog that everyone will love and want? She’s perfect because she makes everyone fall in love with her as she falls in love with them as well.

If you’re a first-time dog owner, she is perfect for you because she doesn’t want another dog in the home. She wants you to be her best friend and only you; no other dogs are allowed in her eyes.

She is the perfect combination of an adventure buddy and a cuddling on the couch buddy. From running around and playing to taking a relaxing nap right next to you, she is looking for her forever best friend who can spoil her with love and affection.

Squirrel

Meet Squirrel, a domestic shorthaired black cat. He is 2.5 years old and has been at Homeward Animal Shelter since Jan. 7.

Like most cats, he is an independent boy who will find you when he wants your love and attention. A good way to get him to come out of hiding is through his string toy, and he will let his playful side show.

He likes his personal space, so he prefers to not be around young children; a perfect cat for single college students.

He is protective and likes to watch through a window and use his pretty golden eyes to scare away intruders. When he’s not people watching through the window, he is lying in a nice warm bed in the sun where he can relax and let those who admire him stare.

He is looking for his forever home that will understand his ways and adore his every move.
