From last week, Sister Leah is still waiting for her forever home. This week, meet Smokey, a 1-year-old, 7-pound domestic shorthair mix.

Smokey has a silky blue coat and a gorgeous face with striking gold eyes. She’s a little thing, but what she lacks in size she makes up for in heart; she’s got a lot of love to give.

She likes having her soft fur stroked, getting and giving plenty of nuzzles, and, of course, cuddling. She is also very playful; a stick with feathers on the end is her favorite toy.

Smokey might be a little shy at first, but she doesn’t need much convincing to start snuggling. Although she loves people, she would prefer a home with no dogs or cats.

Smokey was surrendered to the SPCA of Texas on May 26 because her previous owner was allergic to her. She’s also a VIP (very important pet), because she’s been waiting for her new, loving family for more than 30 days, so she has a special lower adoption price.

Come meet Smokey (#115397) today at the SPCA of Texas’ Jan Rees-Jones Animal Care Center in Dallas at 2400 Lone Star Dr., near I-30 and Hampton Road. The center is open seven days a week, noon-6 pm.

Regular adoption fees are $95-$125 for puppies 0-6 months, $75-$95 for adult dogs 6 months or older, $50 for senior dogs 7 years or older, $50 for VIP dogs, $95 for kittens, $75 for adult cats, $50 for senior cats 7 years and older, and $50 for VIP cats.

The adoption fee includes spay/neuter surgery, age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm test for dogs 6 months and older, initial heartworm preventative for dogs, feline leukemia test for cats 4 months and older, microchip, rabies tag, and free leash or cat carrier. Call 214-742-SPCA (7722) or visit the SPCA website for more information.
