Earies is a Rottie mix in a brindle body. She is a bit shy with strangers, but once you take the time to make friends with her, all she wants is to be with her humans. Hugging, cuddling, taking up all of your lap. If you are looking for a loyal companion, you really should come by the Hamilton Animal Shelter and spend some time getting to know Eaires. 🫶

You can complete an online adoption application and a staff member will reach out to answer all of your questions. 👇

Gorgeous Diamond was found outside in Trenton all alone and brought in by someone who wanted to make sure she was safe. We think she is around 2. Diamond wants everyone to know that when you adopt a pet, the pet wants to be in their home forever with their people. She's hanging out in one of our foster homes and she loves to run around and investigate everything in the house. She is a very happy girl who loves other kitties and every person she meets. What would make her really happy is her very own forever home- and this time she wants it to be forever. She's a very good girl looking for her people. She's in the Petsmart in Fairless Hills waiting for her people or person to adopt her.
