Pet of the Week
DFW
Humane Society 
Pookie is a Domestic Short Hair female that has been spayed. She is about 2 years old weighing in at 8 lbs. She is Tabby and White, Reason for surrender: Found as a stray.
My name may sound funny, but I am far from funny. I am a 4 year old fixed young lady. I am a cute tabby who loves to stay to myself. I like to come to you when I am ready for affection. I would love to have a quiet home where I can learn how wonderful life can be.
If you can adopt Pookie and give her a good home, please contact the DFW Humane Society at 972-253-3333, or check out one of the many other pets that need a home by visiting their web site.
