Meet Poncho and Floki, this week’s CVAS pets of the week

Meet

Meet Poncho and Floki, 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 Poncho and Floki 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.

Poncho

Poncho is a happy guy who is true to his breed and has a great nose! Knowledge of the Coonhound breed is a plus for potential adopters. Poncho is about 2 years old and came into the shelter as a stray. He enjoys going on walks and heading out to the play yard for his “sniff time.” Poncho does get over excited at times and will jump up on people. He is working on this habit, but he may be too much for small children due to this. An age restriction for children in the home may apply, please discuss this with shelter staff. Poncho is also pretty vocal so close neighbors or apartment living would not be ideal. Do you have the right spot for Poncho? CVAS, 5051 Letterkenny Road West, Chambersburg. Kennel License# 2090

Floki

When Floki arrived, he was emaciated, and in very poor shape because he came into the shelter as a stray. We’ve been able to get weight on him as well as a health shine to his fur. Floki is a big boy that doesn’t quite know how big he really is! He is a 2-year-old Rottweiler who really is a good looking boy. Floki would love to go to a loving forever home that has Rottweiler experience. He knows sit and does so quite handsomely we must say! He can be aloof with strangers at first but does warm up to new people well. Floki can be dog selective here at the shelter but seems to do better with females. He would do best in a home with older children. Can you give Floki a second chance at a forever home? Cumberland Valley Animal Shelter, 5051 Letterkenny Road West, Chambersburg. Kennel License #2090
