Here are your Pets over at The Animal Services Center of the Mesilla Valley:
Pantera is your cat of the week: I’m a sweet and gentle cat who is on the hunt for a loving family. I’m friendly with most people, though I’m a little unsure about kids. What I really thrive on is human affection! I’m also quite a food lover, so you’ll find that I love treats, wet food, and dry food. Also, my previous owner says that I’m completely litter box trained and housebroken.
When I first arrived at the shelter, I was a bit shy and would often hide away. But with time and some gentle handling, I’ve made great progress. I started out shy, but now I purr and enjoy being petted, especially when I can curl up next to someone.
My journey has taught me the value of patience. I may flinch at some sounds, but if you take the time to let me adjust, I’ll come seeking all the pets and scratches. I love lounging in cozy spots and just soaking up affection. I’d do best in a calm environment. If you’re looking for a mellow and affectionate companion, I could be the perfect fit for you!
Bandit is your dog of the week: I'm a big, goofy boy full of love and fun! At just over a year and a half old, I still have some playful spirit to share, but I'm also a master at settling down for affection. I’m also all about the treats... seriously, I really love them! Whether it’s cookie time or just some tasty snacks, I’ll do almost anything for a treat.
I can chase down a ball or two, but am known for redirecting to interesting scents or the chance to snuggle up with my human. I shine during playgroup with other dogs, where I show my playful side. I’m always eager for interaction and came right to the front of my cage looking for attention, acting friendly and engaging with everyone who passes by. I am also known for having a calm and sweet demeanor, after some play time, and I’m great with my kennel mates.
My love for treats is helping me learn new things! I’m starting to figure out my size and that being a big boy can be a lot for some people, so I’m working on keeping all four paws on the ground. I’ve made great strides with commands and have even mastered sitting! If you’re looking for a sweet companion, who adores pets and overall a friendly guy, I’m your dog!
