In this edition of "Adoptable Pet of the Week," introduced are two companions waiting for their “fur-ever” homes at the Midland Humane Coalition, October and Dottie.
October is a one-year-old female Domestic Short Hair and was discovered at a nearby apartment complex, fending for herself until a kind individual provided temporary care and sought assistance from the shelter. Thankfully, October received necessary vaccinations and underwent spay surgery, and now awaits adoption. Although initially shy in new environments, October's sassy demeanor quickly fades as she warms up to her surroundings, revealing her affectionate nature. Despite her preference for solitude, October enjoys cuddling and human companionship once she feels secure, though she may need some time to adjust to other cats.
Dottie is an eleven-month-old female Dalmatian Mix weighing around 30 pounds. Dottie was discovered scavenging for food amidst trash, facing abandonment by her young finders before finding refuge at the shelter. Sadly, Dottie's health had deteriorated significantly upon arrival, requiring numerous vet appointments and even an emergency room visit. However, after dedicated care and treatment, Dottie is now on the path to recovery. Known for her friendly disposition, Dottie gets along well with people, cats, and dogs alike, although her high energy levels may be overwhelming for some feline companions. Despite her illness, Dottie's zest for life shines through, making her an ideal addition to any family willing to provide the love and care she deserves. Prospective adopters should be aware of potential ongoing medical expenses and the need for vigilant monitoring, as Dottie's condition may require continued management to ensure her well-being.
If you're considering adopting a pet, think about welcoming October or Dottie into your home. Visit the Midland Humane Coalition to meet these two companions and explore the possibility of giving them a loving home.
