Elmina and Mertie, PAWS Chicago's Pets of the Week

Elmina

Elmina is a fun one-year-old orange and white Tabby cat. She loves people and playing with feather wand toys. She also loves to entertain herself with small catnip mice or other small toys. Elmina enjoyed following her foster family members around during her stay with them and was always outgoing with guests. As social and playful as she is, she also enjoys getting her “beauty sleep.” She would do best in an adults-only home. Stop by PAWS Chicago and meet this friendly and playful cat today!

Mertie

Mertie is an adorable four-year-old Poodle mix. She is a sweet dog, and although timid at first, once she gets to know you she becomes attached and will follow you around. She is an active and playful dog who did great at doggy daycare and loves to play with other dogs. This poor girl previously suffered from seizures but was put on medication and has improved dramatically and hasn’t had any more since. She would do best in a quiet, adults-only home as she can be shy. Visit PAWS Chicago today and give this loving dog a forever home to call her own.
