Baby was previously adopted from the shelter when he was about a year old. Humane Society of Broward County\u2019s Cherie Wachter said the owner was contacted but did not come to reclaim him.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a border collie mix we believe,\u201d Wachter said. \u201cAt 9 years old, you can still teach him a whole lot of other things and tell all your friends that you know you taught your dog these great things.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wachter said Baby weighs about 50 pounds, walks well on a leash and would be a great companion for someone looking for a calm, well-behaved dog.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re looking for a dog to go for leisurely walks, that\u2019s going to be a wonderful member of your family, I think baby would be perfect,\u201d Wachter said.<\/p>\n
Wachter also introduced Tolkien, a 13-week-old British Shorthair kitten available for adoption. Tolkien and his two brothers were surrendered after their owner became ill.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe thing to know about these kittens is they have a fungus called ringworm,\u201d she added. \u201cSo we\u2019re treating them for that. We would send the adopter home with medication.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wachter said ringworm is contagious to people and pets, but adopters can manage it with proper care, including washing hands and bedding and keeping the kitten separate from other pets at home.<\/p>\n
The Humane Society of Broward County has Baby, Tolkien and other animals waiting for forever homes.<\/p>\n
