This is Sally and she's available at the Aiken County Animal Shelter.

Sally is super loving, whose chance at adoption is pretty low.  Black cats are the least adopted cats in shelters.

Sally arrived with a huge wound on her back, so she has stitches and is healing daily.  No idea how the injury happened.  Sally will need an INDOOR ONLY home.

Sally is a year old and weighs 7lbs. She’s spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, litter-trained, FIV-neg, and FeLeuk-neg.

Her adoption fee is only $10.

Please share this post to help Sally find a loving home.  The shelter is overcrowded and the need for her adoption is urgent.

It needs to be said that you guys have been great about sharing the photos and the stories of the animals at the Shelter.  Almost every animal we’ve featured has been adopted.

Let’s get a home for Sally.  Break the curse of the “black cat”

The Aiken County Animal Shelter is located at 333 Wire Rd., Aiken. If you would like to arrange to meet her, send an e-mail to info@fotasaiken.org.

Walk-Ins are welcome from 11am-4pm every day except Sunday.

There's something truly special about having a close relationship with your pet. They say a dog is "man's best friend," and it's totally accurate. I have friends and family who truly feel like their pets are a member of the family. Pets will be there for you through thick and thin. Pets are also know for being loyal, which can be a really good feeling in this world. So, what are the most popular dogs right now?

Danspetcare.com has a great article out that names the most popular dogs in the world right now. In it, they describe that special relationship that one has with their pet. "From hunting to sled-pulling to herding and protection, dogs have helped us survive and thrive in countless ways," they explain. "One of the most important roles dogs play in our lives is companionship."

So, what do you do if you're in the market for a new dog? Danspetcare.com has some good advice on how to pick the right breed. They explain that finding the right breed is a big part of that decision. So, ask yourself, do you want a delicate breed or a more meaty, masculine breed? Also, what's the purpose of you wanting a pet? Do you want a pet for protection, or are you looking for a small buddy for some companionship?

Either way, when you're in the market for a new pet, make sure to have lots of questions and ask the right people before settling on your little guy or gal. I remember one of my friends buying the cutest little puppy ever only to see it grow into a huge dog that was almost too big for her apartment.
