My name is
Sophie
. I’m a 5 year old Domestic Shorthair mix female. Looking for a snuggle buddy? I'm just the gal. I won't demand a lot of your attention but you will know when I want some love. I lived with another cat and we got along well. Active and playful when I'm in the mood, don't pass up on this beauty!

My name is
Gracie
. I’m a 4 year old Black Mouth Cur/Terrier Mix female. I’m full grown and weigh 47 pounds. Since I am out of that "puppy" stage I have had basic training and been house trained. I love toys, going for long walks and car rides are fun! I might be best as the only pet since I've always been the only one.
