🎉INTRODUCING LATTE!

🐶4-year-old female Schnauzer mix
🐶Gray / Blue / Silver, Yellow / Tan / Blond / Fawn long coat length
🐶*Puppy mill rescue – requires a home with a fenced in yard

Latte was a shelter transfer in February of this year, and she is still looking for her furever home and family! Latte is a beautiful and loving girl but can be a bit nervous of new people and places at first. Once she warms up, Latte is curious and playful and would love a home where she can get lots of attention from her humans. She's a sweet and gentle soul! Latte would love someone to give her lots of snuggles and take her on nice long walks. Stop by the shelter and visit with Latte and you may fall in love! ❤

🐾Adoption fee for Latte includes spaying, up to date vaccinations, heartworm testing, deworming, flea treatment and microchipping. Check the website at www.afashelter.org/adoptable-pets/ for additional photos of the Latte and all the other rescued furbabies waiting to be adopted.

Interested in adopting Latte?

The shelter does not offer adoption applications online, so you must complete an application in person at the shelter located at 386 State Route 217 in Latrobe PA during adoption hours (Tuesday to Saturday from noon to 4 pm).

🐱MEET WANDA! 🐱

Can you believe I have been at the shelter since February of this year? I was found to be a stray and brought to the AFA shelter. I started off very scared and nervous since I was in an unfamiliar environment, but I came out of my shell quickly. I am very friendly and affectionate with people. I like to rub on your ankles until you pet me! However, I can sometimes get overwhelmed and hissy with other cats in the open cat room at the shelter as I don’t like cats in my face. I would probably thrive better in a single home since I love to explore and be the queen of my surroundings. Please stop by and visit and maybe you can find it in your heart 🥰 to adopt me!

🐱Female – approximately over 1 year old
🐱Domestic Long Hair – black and white
🐱Litter box trained

🐾The adoption fee for Wanda includes spaying, up-to-date vaccinations, deworming, flea treated and microchipping. Check the website at www.afashelter.org/adoptable-pets/ for more photos of Wanda and all the other rescued furbabies waiting to be adopted.

Action For Animals, Inc. Mission Statement

AFA was founded in 1983 to shelter and provide care for abused, abandoned and stray dogs and cats of Westmoreland County. We are a 501c3 non-profit, non-government funded, no-kill shelter that keeps animals free from the threat of unwarranted euthanasia. We adopt animals into responsible homes and vigorously promote the spay and neuter of all pets to eliminate the cruelty of animal overpopulation.
