FARMINGTON — The Franklin County Animal Shelter has announced its Pets of the Week.

Dog of the Week Dixie is a 2-year-old female tick hound mix. She loves to run and play, and snuggle when she gets tired. Dixie also tries to keep her kennel clean at the shelter. She’s a happy-go-lucky girl looking for her “fur-ever” home.

Nova, a 1- to 3-year-old female, is the Cat of the Week. Shy around strangers, shelter staff think she is a sweet girl and very friendly once she gets to know a person. 

Dixie, Nova and other pets are available for visits from noon to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays at 550 Industry Road. Cats and dogs are spayed or neutered before adoption and have been vaccinated for rabies, treated for fleas, microchipped and have had nail trims.

The shelter also finds homes for barn cats, livestock and other pets.
