St. MIchael-Albertville Adoptable Pets of the Week–Jan. 26

Crossroads Animal Shelter in nearby Buffalo is teaming up with St. Michael Patch to bring you a special feature here on the site.

"Pets of the Week" features a pair of adoptable pets at the popular shelter, which recently welcomed and adopted out its 6,000th animal in December 2011.

Crossroads is located at 2800 10th St SE in Buffalo. During "winter hours," the shelter is open from 2 to 6 p.m. Friday, noon to 5 p.m. Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. Sundays.

In addition to the lovable pets, the shelter also features an array of handcrafted pet accessories that volunteers sell to raise funds for the facility.

This week's featured pets are:

Cat: Earl Grey is a very handsome young man. He's still a little wary of the shelter environment, but likes individual attention. He will need a little time and space to adjust to a new home, but he will be very thankful and affectionate when he settles in.

Dog: Beuford is a very young dog, who is sweet, energetic and willing to learn. Like all hound mixes, he has a nose and would follow an interesting scent, so a fenced yard would be best.
