Carissa & Mopsy Need Homes

Wednesday November 11, 2009
Carissa is the "Dog of the Week" for Huntsville Animal Services. Carissa is a one year old Wheaton Terrier. She is playful and very friendly. She loves kids and other dogs; the shelter doesn't know about cats. Carissa would make a wonderful addition to any family. She's already spayed and ready to go home with you just as soon as you come down to the shelter on Johnson Road to meet and fall in love with her.
Mopsy is the "Rabbit of the Week" for Huntsville Animal Services. Mopsy came to the shelter with two other bunnies--Flopsy and Pumpkin, where their owner lost her job and could no longer afford to keep them. Mopsy is shy at first, but has a great personality when he warms up to you. He's a nine month old Dutch boy with unusual orange and white fur. Won't you give him a home? He's working on using the litterbox.
