Five Dollar Friday - Senior Sweethearts Looking For A Forever Home!

By Franki Williams

This handsome couple were found wandering up on Gorham Road in Ojai back in early March. A kind person came across them and rather than passing them by, stopped and brought them to the shelter. We were confident that a family was out there looking for them, but sadly, they were never claimed. Penelope and Jack have now been at the shelter for nearly 3 months and spend their days in a pen with up to 7 other senior dogs. It is our hope to find the perfect family and have them adopted out together!
