Libbi
Meet Libbi, a super-sweet 2-year-old Pit Bull mix with a heart of gold! Libbi is a petite gal, weighing in at 50 pounds. That makes her a perfect fit for any loving family! While you walk through the neighborhood or frolick at the dog park with Libbi, take a moment to admire her beauty. Libbi is always smiling and, in fact, her smile is so big that you can’t help but smile yourself! She also has a gorgeous burgundy coat, golden eyes, and an adorable white-tipped tail that whips about whenever she is happy. Libbi loves to be groomed and have her belly rubbed, so she will definitely lie still while you show her some love! Libbi is a playful gal and loves bounding after a bouncy, squeaky ball or running circles around her family. While she does enjoy a good time, Libbi is just as content lounging on the couch with a soft blanket and a tasty snack. She has also mastered the fine art of sitting on command and leash walking, and she is already house-trained. Libbi was surrendered to the SPCA of Texas on Jan. 27 because her previous owners, who rescued her as a stray, simply were not ready for a dog. What are you waiting for? Come meet Libbi today! #112343

Hi folks, meet McFury, a handsome 6-year-old Domestic Shorthair kitty with a stunning buff coat. McFury is a sweet boy who is ready to love just about any family.

This precious boy also gets along well with other kitty companions and is litter-trained, too. McFury was transferred to the SPCA of Texas on Feb. 25, so he’s ready to find his forever family today.
