Meet Hyena and Beeswax, pets of the week

Meet

Meet Hyena and Beeswax, this week’s CVAS pets of the week. These are just two of the amazing animals residing at area animal shelters.

Cumberland Valley Animal Shelter has many adorable pets looking for forever homes. While Hyena and Beeswax would like to meet you, check out all the other adorable animals available for adoption also. Go to this Animal Shelter link to see all their residents.

CVAS encourages anyone interested in bringing a four-legged friend into their home to check out the wonderful animals available for adoption at the shelter.

Pets find themselves homeless for a wide variety of reasons, in need of a new home and a second chance. So if you are looking for a new furry best friend, check out the shelter’s many residents. Any of them would make a great pet and wonderful companion.

Adoptions by appointment

Adoptions take place by appointment only, and that has worked very well. Donors have also helped with supplies and money, something very necessary to provide for the shelter’s homeless animals.

Potential adopters can call 717-263-5791 For more information.

Hyena

Hyena was surrendered to the shelter when his owner could no longer care for him. He is around 6 years old and a happy-go-lucky guy that enjoys going on walks and playing in the play yard here at the shelter. He knows the commands sit and lie down.

He does chase cats, so a home without cats would be best for Hyena. Hyena has never been around children so an age restriction for children in the home may apply.

Please discuss this with shelter staff. It does take Hyena a little while to warm up to new people, but once he is used to you he is your best friend! Do you have the right spot for this sweet boy?

Beeswax

Beeswax came into the shelter as a stray so we don’t know a lot about his past. When he arrived, he had some kind of wax, either from a candle or wax warmer all over his tail. Some of it was even on his feet! We got the wax cleaned off, but the name Beeswax had stuck.

This guy is super sweet and looking for his forever home. Could that be yours?
