HSBC\u2019s Cherie Wachter confirmed that Eeyore was adopted after a Local 10 viewer stepped in on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Eeyore, about 1 year and 4 months old, was found frequenting a neighborhood feeding area for cats. Shelter staff said it was unclear whether he was lost or abandoned, and no owner had come forward.<\/p>\n

Weighing about 39 pounds, Eeyore was described as a sweet, calm dog for his age who enjoyed attention and quickly bonded with people. He may be a mix of several breeds, possibly including bully-type dogs, Boston terrier or English bulldog. Staff noted he had some scars, but his history remained unknown.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe loves to be pet, and once you spend time with him, he just wants to stay close to you,\u201d said Wachter.<\/p>\n

The shelter says there are still many other pets available for adoption.<\/p>\n

In addition to Eeyore, the shelter is also highlighting adult cats in need of homes. Binx, a 4-year-old cat, was previously adopted as a kitten but returned when his family could no longer care for him. Wachter described him as affectionate, good with people of all ages and comfortable around other cats.<\/p>\n

Wachter said while kittens are often adopted quickly, adult cats like Binx can make equally loving companions and are ready to settle into new homes.<\/p>\n
