FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A pair of adoptable pets are getting a spotlight this week through Local 10’s “Adopt a Pet” segment as the Humane Society of Broward County highlights animals in need of permanent homes.
Coqui, a 2-year-old, 16-pound Chihuahua mix, was described by HSBC’s Cherie Wachter as an alert, energetic and affectionate dog who enjoys activity and attention.
Wachter said Coqui has been surrendered twice, in part due to inconsistent potty training, but remains a friendly companion who enjoys car rides, chasing lizards and sleeping under the covers.
Wachter also introduced Cutie, a 9-year-old cat who came to the shelter after her previous family moved.
Cutie recently underwent eyelid surgery to correct a condition that caused her eyelashes to irritate her eyes.
She has since recovered and is described as sweet and slightly shy at first before warming up, and is now available for adoption into a quieter home where she can spend her senior years.
