Pet of the Week:
Meet Draco and Shego!
They’re a sweet duo currently calling the McKinley County Humane Society home.
They have endless fun together! They groom each other and loaf together. Draco is definitely the more vocal of the two, he’s not shy at all. Shego is much more gentle when playing with her brother. She would be great with kids.
This duo does not need to be adopted together, but the humane society would love love to find them a good home. Anyone interested in Drago and/or Shego can visit them at the McKinley County Humane Society at 1273 Balok St. in Gallup. They are open Monday - Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm.
