Humane Society – Pet of the Week: My name is Romanoff and I’m ready for my new family to walk in the doors! I’m a 7-year-old tortie that came into HSPPR as stray. I’m currently staying in one of HSPPR’s cat colony rooms, where I get to spend my day interacting with other cats and people. I’ve been told that I’m a good girl, but I just don’t like to be picked up so I would prefer a mature household. I can be shy at first, but I just need some confidence before I receive attention. My adoption is $35 and I come with a voucher for a veterinary exam, vaccinations, 30 days of pet health insurance and a microchip, and I am already spayed. Just ask for Romanoff (1619313). Humane Society: 719-473-1741, 610 Abbot Lane. Call for hours. www.hsppr.org.
Happy Cats Haven – Pet of the Week: Hi, I’m Miss Dotty, a beautiful short-haired gal with golden eyes who is ready to find my furever home. I watched my people pack up their house and leave me behind in the winter cold with my sister and kittens; I was devastated! I’m done with the outdoor life and I’ll show you how much I appreciate being in a warm comfortable house by curling up in your lap! At a little more than a year old, I’m as playful as a kitten, so bring out the toys! I can be adopted for just $80, which includes my spay, vaccinations, microchip, food and litter starter kit and a free well-kitty checkup. Are you ready to open your home to me furever?! Happy Cats Haven: 719-362-4600, 327 Manitou Ave. Adoptions by appointment only until further notice.www.HappyCatsHaven.org, www.Facebook.com/HappyCatsHaven.

Humane Society – Pet of the Week: My name is Aviator Jones and I’m ready for my new family to walk in the doors! I’m a 2-year-old Australian cattle dog mix that came into HSPPR as stray. I’m a shy guy at first and can be a little slow to open up to new people. But once you gain my trust, I love to show my true energetic personality! I’m looking for an active household that can take me outside every day to play with me and let me run off my energy. My adoption is $250, and I come with a voucher for a veterinary exam, vaccinations, 30 days of pet health insurance and a microchip, and I am already neutered. Just ask for Aviator Jones (1616801).
