DOG OF THE WEEK: OTIS

Otis is a 3-year-old male Heeler mix. He is very friendly and loves attention. He loves toys and loves to zoom around. He does well with other dogs but has shown some food aggression, so feeding separately is highly recommended. He has a tendency to jump and grab you with his paws, so a home with older children would probably be best. Otis is neutered, fully vaccinated, heartworm negative and on prevention. He has been at ECHS since September. For more information or to adopt Otis, contact the Erath County Humane Society at (254) 965-3247. Erath County Humane Society

CAT OF THE WEEK: VEGAS

Vegas is a 3-year-old female domestic shorthair. She is really scared here at the shelter, but she is super sweet and doting once she gets a calm, quiet moment to be with you. She would probably do best in a quiet home. She will need to be an indoor cat. She loves attention and scratches, but doesn’t really like to be held. She is very talkative and while in her foster home, she loved everyone, even the new people that came to visit. Vegas is spayed, microchipped and litterbox trained. She will need a rabies shot. For more information or to adopt Vegas, contact the Erath County Humane Society at (254) 965-3247. Erath County Humane Society
