Pets of the Week

FALLBROOK – Willie is a small, male Chihuahua mix, light brown in color, about 2- to 3-years old. He is neutered and microchipped and up-to-date on shots. He is good with kids and other dogs but not cats (he barks at them). He has a docked tail. He is a very low-energy dog, very sweet and easy, but an escape artist. He supposedly can climb chain-link fence, so he needs a secure place, but he is adorable and easy on a leash.

The health benefits of having a pet are well documented. They reduce stress, anxiety and depression. They help with loneliness and help lower blood pressure. Meet Snookums. This girl is just what the doctor ordered! She is a young, beautiful and playful cat and can't wait to meet visitors at Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary (Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 1-4 pm). No prescription needed.

The Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary is in need of dog walkers and cleaners. To volunteer or for more information, call the animal sanctuary at (760) 685-3533, and come over to meet Willie and Snookums at 232 W. Aviation Rd.
