Adopt a pet (Sept. 6)

Eli the Constant Companion, an 8-year-old male short-coat Chihuahua mix, is available for adoption from Kansas Humane Society.

September is here, and it’s a wonderful time to be adopted. Hello, my name is Eli. You know what I’d love more than anything in the world? To be your pet. I’m a calm and relaxed pup, and I prefer snuggling up for a movie than high-speed chases outside. Everyone at KHS thinks I’m so handsome, and I’d be lying if I didn’t agree! Come see for yourself at KHS soon.

Also available:

Buddy the Goofball, 7-year-old male rat terrier mix

Class is now in session, and I’m ready to learn. Hi, my name is Buddy, and I can’t wait to learn what you have to teach me. We’ll have so much fun, no matter what we end up doing. Toys, playing fetch, going for walks, it all sounds great. I’ll look forward to seeing you at KHS.

Mr. Smushy the Sidekick, 2-year-old male cat, domestic shorthair mix

I’m as cute as can be, and I can be yours for free! Did you like my rhyme? I made it up myself. I hope we’ll have a lot of time together once you come and adopt me. I’d love to just kick it with you at your place and be right by your side. Visit KHS soon so we can get acquainted.

Josie the Personal Assistant, 4-year-old female cat, domestic shorthair mix

Josie here, nice to meet you. I’m a sweet, beautiful tabby looking for a generous family that will bring me home. In return, I shall pamper you with special purrs and headbutts. I’m excited for the next chapter in my life, but I’m also a little scared. I hope you can help make that transition easier for me. I’ll be looking for you to visit me at KHS.

Sam, 5-month-old male cat, domestic shorthair mix

Knock knock! Orange you glad I didn’t knock again? Get it? It’s funny because I’m an orange and white tabby. Hi, I’m Sam, and I’m hoping I don’t have to knock to find a loving home. I think anyone could benefit from having a little cuteness and unconditional love in their home. I hope you agree, and will come visit me at KHS soon.
