Adopt a pet (Dec. 4, 2014)

Betty the Wallflower, a 4-year-old female short-coat Chihuahua mix, is available for adoption from Kansas Humane Society.

Pardon me. Could you help me locate the keys to my home? I guess I lost them when I lost my way. Would you possibly assist me in giving me a new home? I think that would be a delight! I’ve been a little out of sorts recently. Being lost will do that to you. I hope you’ll give me some time to adjust and give me a chance to show you what I can do.

Also available:

▪ Duke the Constant Companion, 8-year-old male Weimaraner mix

I love to play and have fun, but I’ll always be a lover first. I will be your champion of friendship and a leader of adventure. Come to KHS and see me in action. I could really use some lovin’ about now. And all this could be yours at no cost to you. My adoption fee has been paid for by a very generous person.

▪ Hanna the Personal Assistant, 3-year-old female cat, domestic shorthair mix

Want to know what I’m thinking? I’m thinking you could use a little more cuteness and playfulness in your home. Adopting a cute little gal named Hanna would be a perfect solution. I’m a personal assistant, which means I can help around the home, as well as provide love and comfort. You should come to KHS soon to meet me.

▪ Mara, 6-month-old female cat, domestic shorthair mix

Look at how photogenic I am! Someday I aspire to be a model, but I know I’m a little too young right now. Maybe you can adopt me, and I can practice being cute on your camera roll. When would you like to visit me?

▪ Gracie the Personal Assistant, 3-year-old female cat, domestic shorthair mix

I’m not too good at introductions, so just give me a little while to warm up to you. Once I get to know you, I’ll want to be super close to you. I’d also like to sit in your lap and snuggle my head under your arm so that I feel safe. I’ll give you the sweetest purrs too. Come visit with me today at KHS so you can feel my plush, shiny fur.
