In Honor of Magic, a long time companion and team member of the Pet Education Team at PACC, we have pictures and memories of him.

Cat of the Week	Dog of the Week

#79503 Felix	#80298 Ruffles
FELIX is a 5 year old Main Coon mix. with medium length hair. He's a big boy, loves to be petted and will quickly become a purring lap sitter. His family couldn't keep him in their apartment and want him to have a new, happy home.	RUFFLES is a medium-sized Terrier mix with a sweet personality. She's quiet and attentive. Her coat was badly matted so she's had a short haircut and is now clean and trimmed, waiting for someone special to take her home. Ruffles will be a loving companion!

Cat of the Week 88	Dog of the Week 88

#78732 Tess	#80587 Hanna
I’m a beautiful, although at times somewhat aloof cat. My name is Tess and I am looking for a quiet, calm home to call my own. Once I am familiar with my surroundings and there is not a lot of commotion, I relax and am happy to cuddle and purr. If you have a peaceful home and are looking for a quiet companion, then I am the cat for you!	Look at me; I’m as pretty as a picture. My name is Hanna, and I’m a Red Merle, Heeler puppy. I love to romp and play, but I need a “forever” home. Please remember I am only a few months old, so I might get into a few things, but if you teach me the things you want me to learn I will become a wonderful, loving and loyal friend.

Cat of the Week 85	Dog of the Week 85

#79920 Jewels	#82722 Isis
JEWELS is a beautifully marked sweetheart who alternates between being playful and wanting to cuddle. She's a young cat waiting for that special forever home!	ISIS is a beautiful female shepherd-mix with a very sweet disposition. She's a gentle, laid-back girl who sits on command. Isis is described as "fun to jog with"; she'll be a best friend!
