Mission Viejo Animal Shelter Home for the Holidays Event

The Home for the Holidays adoption event at the Mission Viejo Animal Shelter includes gifts and discounted adoption fees and runs until Jan. 2nd.

If you are looking to add a new family member, one of the four-legged variety, there is no time like the present. The Home for the Holidays adoption event at the includes gifts and discounted adoption fees and runs until Jan. 2.

It is often a mystery to the staff and volunteers why a specific pet at the shelter may be having trouble attracting just the right family. We often wonder, from the feline or K9’s point of view, if they feel sad to see so many of their shelter friends leaving with their new families while they are still waiting for that special someone to notice how cute and smart they are. It certainly seems to be the case and you can see it in their face. Take your time and get to know some of these special friends of ours. You may find your new best K9 or feline friend just waiting for you.

Penelope

One-year-old border terrier Penelope loves to play. She promises to amuse you for hours with her terrier antics and she will work for food. True to her breed, Penelope is very independent and very smart…if you give her an inch, she will take a mile. Dedicated Animal Welfare Group is sending Penelope to her new home (once she is adopted) with a training package. With some love and proper training, she will add tons of fun to your life!
