Gabana the dog is the latest of our 12 Strays of Christmas to be adopted from PETSinc. Since Dec. 15, nine animals that were featured in The State have been adopted for the holidays, including all six cats that were featured.
Christmas may be over, but dogs Flanker, Sunrise and Sally are still waiting to find their furever families. Check them out here and check back for daily adoption updates.
Flanker Tim Dominick tdominick@thestate.com
Flanker
Flanker is a 3-year-old male American bulldog. He’s sweet, mild-mannered and loves treats more than anything.
Sunrise Tim Dominick tdominick@thestate.com
Sunrise
The playful 3-year-old bulldog mix has been at the shelter the longest. Sunrise is trained to walk well on a leash and gets along with other dogs. (“He’s the king of the playgroup,” a volunteer said.)
Wish Tim Dominick tdominick@thestate.com
Wish - ADOPTED
Wish is a 14-month-old male bulldog mix that was found at a bus stop with nothing but a blanket and a toy. He finds immense joy in chasing squirrels.
Field Tim Dominick tdominick@thestate.com
Field - ADOPTED
A hound mix, 5-year-old Field is a natural at fetch. He has medium energy but enough spunk for the occasional play time.
Gabana Tim Dominick tdominick@thestate.com
Gabana - ADOPTED
This 1-year-old lab mix is a bundle of energy. She’s well-mannered around kids and loves to socialize.
Sally Tim Dominick tdominick@thestate.com
Sally
At 8 years old, Sally is no spring chicken, but she’s an affectionate couch potato whose perfect day would be lounging with her owner. She also enjoys car rides.
Stash Tim Dominick tdominick@thestate.com
Stash - ADOPTED
Named so because his markings give him the appearance of having half a mustache. This friendly, young cat’s two favorite things are affection and laser pointers.
Petal Tim Dominick tdominick@thestate.com
Petal - ADOPTED
The 4-year-old fluffy white stray has been at PETSinc since April. Besides having long, white fur, Petal is low-maintenance.
Cherry Tim Dominick tdominick@thestate.com
Cherry - ADOPTED
Cherry is a plump 2-year-old momma cat. She’s a low-key sweetie that prefers to sit at the window and watch birds.
Penny Tim Dominick tdominick@thestate.com
Penny - ADOPTED
This senior cat needs some TLC. Penny, a 7-year-old female, was brought into the shelter when her family couldn’t keep her.
Teardrop Tim Dominick tdominick@thestate.com
Teardrop - ADOPTED
The 1-year-old female has been at the shelter since she was 10 weeks old. Her brother was adopted, but she has grown up at PETSinc. She is shy at first but warms up quickly.
Cabin Tim Dominick tdominick@thestate.com
Cabin - ADOPTED
Cabin was abandoned at PETSinc in a cardboard box. The 2-year-old female would do best in a one cat household.
PETSinc
WHERE: 300 Orchard Drive, West Columbia
HOLIDAY HOURS:Noon-7 p.m. Mondays until Monday, Dec. 26 and Tuesday-Friday; 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Saturday; noon-6 p.m. Sunday
HOLIDAY TIP: Pets can be great presents, but shelter workers advise not to make it a surprise. Take the receiver to meet prospective pets to make sure it’s the right match. That way, there’s less risk of the shelter having to take the animal back come January.
