Furry Friday: These paws were made for walking … and running!

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – There are more than 100 dogs up for adoption right now at Tallahassee’s Animal Service Center and they range from chihuahuas and beagles to huskies, labs and shepherds.

Each week, WCTV teams up with the shelter for Furry Friday. It’s a chance to get those dogs out of their kennels and into the spotlight in hopes of helping them find their fur-ever families and get adopted.

Here are the dogs we’re featuring this week:

MEET AZTEC

A running buddy would be his dream come true.

This husky mix has excellent manners. He can sit, shake and lie down.

Aztec is a stunner with mesmerizing blue eyes. He’s ready for some hearty hugs and some hearty meals!

This sweet girl is looking for a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Flakes was a struggling stray and she’s now looking for someone to pamper her, help restore her velvety fur, and maybe even paint her fabulous nails.

The four-year-old beagle mix is a cuddler. She’d rather sit in your lap than just about anything.

Flakes is petite and people friendly. You can see she’s camera friendly too.

If you have an endless supply of love and laps for Flakes, please visit her at the shelter this weekend!

The Favicon for the website, dogsandpurses(dot)com, features an all-black background with a minimalist line drawing of a puppy's head poking out of a stylish purse. The puppy's head is drawn with a cute and friendly expression, making it the focal point of the design. The purse, which the puppy is emerging from, is depicted with clean, elegant lines. The contrast between the black background and the white line drawing creates a striking and modern look for the Favicon.
