MARANA, Ariz. — Here are this week's adoptable pets going on Jersey's Journeys to find their forever homes! They're all up for adoption at the HOPE shelter. If you're interested in adopting, please head to their website, Hopeanimalshelter.net for application information, or you can go to their shelter any day between 12 and 3pm.
- Griffin (top left) is a 7-year-old tuxedo cat. He's very affectionate and playful, and actually loves looking snazzy! He wears a bowtie, and loves being all wrapped up in blankets or a hoodie. He's curious and friendly, and will make a great pet.
- Stella (top right) is 10-year-old a black and white polydactyl cat. She's a very independent girl, and would like to be the only cat in your home. She takes a little while to warm up, but once she likes you, she'll come right up to ask for pets and love. She loves attention, and she really loves playing with lasers and toys!
- Pal is a 2-year-old silverish-tan Staffordshire terrier pitbull mix. He's a sweet boy, who came to the shelter because his owner recently died in a crash. He's very food motivated and very playful and friendly. He's calm and curious, and will be a great pet.
- Brin is a 2-year-old brindle terrier mix. He also came into the rescue with Pal when their owner died, but they don't necessarily need to be adopted together. He's very affectionate and playful, and will give you all the kisses in the world. He's curious and interested in other dogs, and really can't wait to find his new best friend.
