Humane Society Silicon Valley Adoption news

Vally, the calico and her friend, Belle, the German shepherd mix
Hi, I'm Vally. I'm a beautiful calico looking for a home I can share with my best friend Belle, a German shepherd mix. Our family had to give us up because they could no longer care for us, but Belle and I are used to sleeping together, playing together, and even grooming each other. If you give us a loving home, we promise to keep you entertained! We are both very gentle and have good house manners. We are rather low key, and would prefer a quiet household where we can receive a lot of snuggle time. To meet us, please contact Jeri Seiden at (408) 727-3383 ext. 871 or Casaundra Cruz at ext. 819.

Lola, the Domestic Medium Hair
Hi there, I'm Lola, a 2-year-old Domestic Medium Hair. Though I might not be a showgirl, I am an incredibly affectionate beauty looking for my lifetime home. I enjoy being petted, and will respond in kind with lots of head bumps. I must admit, I'm a princess and don't care much for other cats...I would love to be the only pet in your home. I would also prefer to be in a home with older children as well. If you are looking for an affectionate cat that will give you lots of attention, then I am the one for you. Come and see me today. My ID number is 7931
