This week’s dog of the week is…Cinnamon!

Cinnamon (aka CJ) is a 12-year-old Cocker Spaniel. She originally came to Wisconsin from Alabama. Her owner could no longer care for her because of her age. Cinnamon is partially blind, friendly, and is ready to love you with her whole heart. She could be the dog you’ve been waiting to love.

This week’s cat of the week is…Andy!

Andy is a sweet, older cat who is still looking for his forever home. Andy is an 11-year-old Siamese who was on his own in Alabama after his previous owner became too frail to take care of him. He was transported to Wisconsin and is working on being comfortable in his new atmosphere. Andy is a loving cat that will purr non-stop and kneed every blanket he sees.
