Pets of the WEEK

• This is little Chico, a neutered male Chihuahua. He weighs 9½ pounds and is 7 years old. Chico is blind (looking at his eyes, he might have cataracts), and was brought to EARS because his owner went to prison. The landlord said that Chico is a great little guy — just scared and not certain of his surroundings.

EARS is open from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday at 500 N. Indiana Ave., Englewood. See www.earsanimalrescue.com or call 941- 681-3877 for the shelter, or 941-460-6757 for the thrift store. All donations go to help the EARS animals. Volunteers and donations are always needed.

These pets are available for adoption at the Suncoast Humane Society, 6781 San Casa Drive, Englewood. All adoptable pets are spayed/neutered and current with their shots. To learn about adoption hours and adoptable pets, see www.humane.org . ¦

• Meet Klondike, a handsome, neutered male kitty. He’s only 1 year old. Klondike has lived with other cats, and he loves to play.

• Bobo is an adult with the spirit of a puppy. He loves to play, run around and fetch toys. Bobo is sweet, too — he’s always ready to snuggle up for some affection and has a lot of love to give. He’s also fun and ready to be your loyal companion. Adopt Bobo and you can create some unforgettable memories together.

• This is Zayda, who might seem shy at first, but give her time and she’ll be worth it. She longs for a quieter life. Zayda is independent but loyal, mellow but sweet. She’s ready to be your gentle companion, your confidant, your superhero. Adopt Zayda, and together, you can embark on your own adventures.
