PAT is a Calico cat who was recently found on Cherry Street and is looking for new owners. 

JOJO is a three-year-old male Newfoundland / Flat-Coated Retriever Mix. He is sweet and quiet, and would do well in a house with older children.

JENNY is a three-year-old spayed female white/brindle mix breed who is well socialized with people, but cats and other dogs would not be an easy mix. Jenny is energetic and would play happily through the day with her new owners.
