If you are looking for a new furry friend this holiday season, please consider adopting from your local animal shelter.

There are so many cute adoptable pets ready for their new homes!

Dumpling

Dumpling, a 7-year-old tabby cat, is a very loveable girl.

She adores people — Dumpling’s idea of a good time is being pet and keeping you company.

Dumpling came into the shelter as a stray, which is strange, because she’s declawed, has a docked tail, and is so very social.

This beautiful girl must have had a home once, she’s as sweet as they come.

Can you give Dumpling a second chance? For more information on Dumpling, contact Debbie Rosato at 661-803-1842.

Peek a Boo

Meet a tiny Chihuahua with a huge heart. Peek a Boo, about 5 years old, is a character, small in stature but with a personality that is enormous and endearing.

He’s very proficient in all the important skills that a tiny canine must have ... he’s a great snuggler and certified “lap dog.”

Peek a Boo walks very nicely on leash and is OK around other dogs, but to be honest he prefers the company of his favorite humans.

An adult-only home would be best as small kids are too fast and scary to a small dog like Peek a Boo.

All Peek a Boo wants for Christmas is a new family to love him (and a nice warm bed would be great, too).
