Meet Des, a friendly, well-behaved Cairn Terrier/Cocker Spaniel mix. He's about three years old, and my first thought upon meeting him was, "How could anybody give up a dog this sweet?" Simple and sad answer: his owner died. OK, I feel like a cad.
Des really is a lovely dog; nice long coat, eager to please even a photographer, by posing by the tree. He's waiting at Countryside Humane Society for someone to adopt him. If you hurry, he'll be home for Christmas.
UPDATE: Last week's adoptable pet, the cat Shania, was not claimed, and is on her way to the Wisconsin Humane Society in Milwaukee, which reportedly has a three-day turnaround these days. We're keeping our fingers crossed.
Thank you for your pet of the week - great idea. I hope they all find loving homes.
