Looking to add a new companion to your home?
Each week, FingerLakes1.com partners with the Humane Society of Yates County to highlight local animals in need of a loving home. This week’s featured pets are both a little older — but what they lack in youth, they more than make up for in personality, affection, and readiness for a quiet, loving home.
Ella
Here’s what they say about her
Ella is a 7-year-old pit bull mix who’s equal parts well-mannered and affectionate. She walks nicely on a leash, enjoys spending time with people, and has a calm, loving presence that makes her easy to be around.
She would prefer to be the only animal in the home, where she can soak up all the attention from her humans. After spending a long stretch at the shelter, Ella is more than ready for a fresh start and a place to finally call her own.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s already got the basics down and just wants someone to love, Ella could be the perfect fit.
Lance
Here’s what they say about him
Lance is an 8-year-old male cat who has come a long way since arriving at the shelter. Initially shy and reserved, he’s grown into a friendly and affectionate companion who enjoys attention — on his own terms.
He would do best in a quieter home where he can relax, settle in, and claim a warm, sunny spot as his own. Lance is also part of the shelter’s “Silver Whiskers” program, making him a great option for those looking to give a senior pet a comfortable, loving home.
If you’re searching for a gentle, low-key companion, Lance is ready to meet you.
