Jimmy, Trinket Ready for Permanent Home

Here are a couple of pets up for adoption at Animal Education and Rescue out of Libertyville. To learn more, visit them online at www.aear.org or call (847) 816-0831.

Jimmy is a one-year-old mix breed that was found as a stray and no one claimed him. Jimmy is Mr. Happy and loves other dogs and people too. He's energetic and enthusiastic. He would be great for an active family ideally with another dog. Jimmy weighs about 15 pounds.

Jimmy can't just jump up to catch tennis balls, he has to incorporate a twist or turn into the jump. He would make a great frisbee dog!

Trinket is the mom to six-week-old kittens and now looking to find her forever home. We estimate that Trinket is around one to two years old.

When Trinket's foster family first got her and after her kittens were adopted, she was very shy and hid most of the time. She wasn't interested in exploring-would usually just sit on the window sill. But now she is exploring the whole house!

She is still a little nervous with new people and does not like being picked up or having her belly touched. Once comfortable, she's a friend for life. She is interested in other cats, but they are still too scared to really play with her.

She doesn't really mind dogs as long as they don't chase her. Overall, she is a wonderful kitty and hope someone will soon see that and welcome her into their home.
