Where Are They Now? An Update on Rudolph and Ms. Frosty

We update you on the two adorable pups that a Prairie's Edge cat took a liking to.

Rudolph and Ms. Frosty are now approximately 8 weeks old and back at the after spending a few weeks in foster care. 

They have had their spay and neuter surgeries and are awaiting their forever homes! Their names have been changed to Traveller and Bunny. Once in foster care, their foster family decided their personalities warranted a name change. They flurished in their foster home and are happy, healthy, playfull Lab mix puppies.

These little bundles of energy are now a bit too large and energetic for poor Ren at this point. Ren, the cat who wanted to care for them when they first came into the shelter as tiny babies, is now in the cat colony awaiting someone to adopt him and give him a forever home as well.

Ren is a big friendly guy who likes to play and be petted. He is a beautiful gray-colored cat, with a big heart, who gave some orphaned puppies an extra bit of love at the PEHS shelter. He holds a special place in the hearts of the staff at the shelter and we know he will have the same effect on whomever adopts him.
