Adoptable Pets: Start the New Year With a New Pet

Pets are available for adoption through All Paws Rescue, an O'Fallon based volunteer group working to save homeless dogs and cats.  All pets are kept in foster homes, where they receive the care they need to help prepare them for a permanent home. 

All Paws is supported solely by private donations and fundraisers.  If you're interested in adopting an animal, you can browse their website or attend one of their weekend adoption events at area  stores. Last year they adopted out close to 300 pets. 

This week's featured pet:

Mercury is a two-year-old cat that All Paws volunteers say is very outgoing. He's lived with other cats, dogs and children, and is very good with everyone. Mercury is quite vocal, and will let you know when he wants something. He is affectionate and loves attention. He enjoys being in the center of whatever is going on.
