Pet of the Week: Snowy, A Sweet 8-Year-Old Cat

You can adopt Snowy from the Animal Rescue League of Boston.

Looking to adopt a pet? Now up for adoption at the Animal Rescue League of Boston is Snowy.   Snowy is an absolute sweetheart! At 8 years old, Snowy has been moved around a lot, so she is a bit on the shy-side but warms right up away when you give her affection. When people open her cage to visit, she jumps right up to give them head nudges on their hands. Snowy would do best in a quiet home where she will be doted on with plenty of love. She lived with another cat in her previous home and would probably do well with another mellow cat. She has already been spayed, and is ready to go to her final home today!

Pet of the Week: Brownie, 2-Year-Old Playful Mix

Adopt Brownie from the Animal Rescue League of Boston in the South End.

Brownie is an active and fun-loving two-year-old mixed breed. She loves to play with other dogs during our morning playgroup and would likely do well living with another playful dog. This girl has a lot of energy to burn, and is looking for a home with an active family. She is very smart and loves to cuddle. Brownie would benefit greatly from attending a basic obedience class to help work on her manners. She is already walking better with the help of a gentle leader. Brownie loves to chase birds and squirrels, so would probably do best in a home without cats or small critters. This lady has a lot of personality and would love to meet her new family ASAP. If you're looking for an affectionate and playful companion, Brownie just might be the…

Pet of the Week: Clark, 1-Year-Old Jack Russell Mix

This active little pup was found in Charlestown and is available for adoption through the Animal Rescue League of Boston.

Clark is a one-year-old Jack Russell terrier mix who was found as a stray on the streets of Charlestown. Clark is an active boy with a lot of energy looking for a job to do and a family to please. His enthusiastic bark would make him a better candidate for a house rather than an apartment. We would recommend Clark go to a home with older children and an active family as he is still learning his basic manners. He does have some skin allergies so his new owners should be willing to consult their veterinarian on this issue. If you want a fun, high energy dog to become a member of your family, Clark is your guy! For more information on Clark or any of the other animals currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston, please contact us…
