Yukio is the cutest carebear kitty around. She is curious and engaged and loves to explore, plus she’s sweet as sugar. She has tried to befriend the great outdoors, but she thinks it’s a little too loud out there and prefers to be your little house buddy. Yukio loves head boops and rubbing her head on your legs, and after she’s had enough petting, she will roll around and stretch on the floor for a good minute. She is 11lbs., 2 years old, spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped – and ready to make your house her home. Española Humane is open to walk-in adopters 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday-Saturday.

If Gia was a horse, we would call her unusual color ‘liver chestnut’, and this gorgeous gal is leggy and regal as a thoroughbred. Gia sits like a lady for treats and has excellent leash manners – she will make a great dog for any family but would definitely enjoy an active and adventurous one. She is a one-year-old 56 lb. shepherd mix who is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and she can be adopted from Española Humane’s shelter 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday-Saturday. Courtesy/EH
