Are you looking to bring a pet into your home? Local animal shelters are a great place to find a furry companion. So, as part of Furry Tails, I'll be doing an ongoing feature on adoptable pets from local animal shelters once a week. If you have room in your heart and are looking to bring a lovable ball of fur into your home, maybe one of these guys is meant to be a part of your family!

Animal Friends Pet Profile:

Meet Rex! This 5-year-old gentleman came to Animal Friends when his previous owner could no longer care for him. Rex can be a little timid at first, but once he opens up, he is the friendliest guy. This social rabbit likes to sniff around and receive pets, too!

If you can help, come to Animal Friends at 562 Camp Horne Road, Pittsburgh, Pa., 15237 or call 412-847-7000. For more information on how you can adopt any of the pets at Animal Friends, visit their website here!

Orphans of the Storm Pet Profile:

Freddy came to us as a puppy with his littermates. As he grew, we noticed that he was limping and favoring one of his hips. After being examined at the vet's office, we learned that Freddy needed two hip replacements. We followed the vet's advice and had FHO surgeries on both of his hips so that he could have a normal, happy and pain free life. His first surgery was in January when he was about 6 months old. Both surgeries were successful, and Freddy did great! He is now ready for a home of his own!

Freddy has been living with a foster family and is doing very well! He will never be able to go on long hikes or be exercised hard, but normal day to day activity will be fine for Freddy. He is housetrained, very happy and loves attention. He has been to a couple events with us and did well with the people that he met. His foster family would love to answer any questions that you may have about Freddy and to have you meet him. Let's get Freddy his own family!!
