Meet Meg and Fritters, this week’s CVAS pets of the week

Meet

Meet Meg and Fritters, 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 lots of adorable pets who are looking for forever homes. While Meg and Fritters 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 adoptions 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 now 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.

Meg

Meg arrived at the shelter very emaciated and had to be fed small amounts of food throughout the day. She has been a happy-go-lucky girl from day one and seems to love everyone she meets! Her tail is always wagging! Meg did test positive for Lyme Disease and because she showed symptoms was started on a round of antibiotics which she has taken like a champ!

During her vet exam it was found that her right hind leg at the knee is thickened possibly due to a very old and now healed, ACL injury which does cause a hop to her step every now and then, but it does not slow her down! She is a 3-year-old terrier mix who loves to go for walks and enjoys playing ball in the play yard here at the shelter. Meg may be too much for small children who are not used to large dogs, so an age restriction for children in the home may apply. Please discuss this with shelter staff. Could Meg be your new best four-legged friend?

 

Fritters

Fritters was brought into the shelter after being found abandoned in a house with 20 other cats. He was covered in fleas, skinny, and was missing a lot of fur. Since his arrival at the shelter, he has been treated for the fleas, has gained some weight and his fur has started to grow back. He looks really great now. Fritters would love to find out what it means to have a loving forever home. Could you show him?
