Adorable Adoptable Pets Of The Week In Howard County

HOWARD COUNTY, MD — Meet Patch's Adorable Adoptable Pets of the Week available from the Howard County Animal Control and Adoption Center. First up are adorable Ella and Wiley, 1-year-old bonded kitties. While they are timid, they love to cuddle and receive chin scratches. Shelter staff indicate the pair would do best in a quiet home with older children.

Beautiful Daffodil, a 2-year-old bully mix, knows basic commands and happens to be sweet and loving. With her big beautiful eyes and fantastic ears, she draws attention and wants the best home. She was found as a stray but has so much love to give. The shelter noted that her adopter must own his or her own home.

Gorgeous Bella, a medium-sized mixed breed dog has a bit of pit bull terrier in her along with a breed that gives her feathered hair on her tail. She loves everyone who crosses her path and she actually will smile at you. Even though her eyesight is limited, she loves to run and play. She won't do well with a rougher, more aggressive dog, but has done wonderfully around other dogs, shelter staff said. She adores people and wants to be a lap dog.

Cute Coconut happens to be a smaller statured Hotot rabbit seeking for her forever home. She's very friendly and curious, and enjoys being around people as long as they move slowly and don't make loud noises. She'll eagerly hop around and follow you, and play with her little wooden rabbit toys. She also gets along terrifically with children.

This male cockatiel named Boba has a stellar personality. If you're comfortable with birds, you can get Boba to land on your finger and perch there. He prefers to be around quiet, calmer people and will ride around on your shoulder. He'll dance and do his happy cockatiel whistle when he wants attention.

For more information about adopting these adorable critters or any others currently at the center, call 410-313-2780 or visit the center's site on PetFinder or its Facebook page. The shelter currently is open by appointment only.
