Pets of the WEEK

• Meet LouLou, a 14-year-old Chihuahua mix whose owner passed away. She is housebroken and is on a diet to get back to her girlish figure.

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 . ¦

• This is Ringo, a large, longhair kitty. He is a neutered male and weighs 12 pounds. Ringo has white markings and that friendly ginger cat personality. Come to the EARS to see him in the open cat room for playtime.

• Meet Dixie, a senior canine with a heart full of sweetness and loyalty. Her gentle spirit shines through her calm demeanor, making her the perfect companion for peaceful afternoons and relaxed evenings. Dixie is heartworm positive, but don’t let that deter you. With proper care and treatment, she can live a full and happy life. Her resilience and strength are inspiring, a testament to her loving nature. Dixie is waiting patiently for a family who will cherish her golden years.

• Caroline is known around here for her friendly and sweet nature. She’s always curious about the world around me, eager to explore every nook and cranny. Caroline is brave, too, not afraid to venture into unknown territories — but she also loves a good cuddle session just as much as she does any adventure. Caroline is mellow, enjoying the simple pleasures (like a warm lap or a gentle stroke). She’s a bundle of love just waiting to be shared.
