Pets of the Week: Party Animals — Spend spring break with Izzy and Buddy
We know April showers bring May flowers…but does that include snow showers? While this recent jolt of winter weather was an unwelcome surprise, it feels like spring is in the air once again. And that also means that love is in the air! …Or is it pollen? No, that’s definitely love floating in the breeze blowing through Burlington County, where hundreds of loving pets are awaiting their ‘spring break’ from the shelter. If your days of partying in Cancun during spring break are safely behind you, why not plan a spring break staycation with your new best friend?
Izzy is the perfect pal for someone who wants a soulmate, but doesn’t necessarily want to be attached at the hip. In the mood to sit on the couch, drink wine and watch trashy reality tv? Izzy will be happy to join you and contribute some delightful snark. Need to go to work or plan some spring day trips? Izzy won’t mind holding down the fort while you're gone.
Love is in the air — What better time to spring a pet from the shelter?
And while four-year-old Izzy is a teenager in cat years, you don’t need to worry about her throwing any wild parties! Izzy is a quiet, calm girl who enjoys spending time with her human friends but also appreciates some alone time. Izzy has an adorable Grumpy Cat-esque face, but like the real Grumpy Cat, Izzy is a sweetheart.
After being with her previous family for most of her life, Izzy is feeling stressed and uncertain at the shelter. She would love to find a quiet home, without young children or other pets, with owners who will give her time to adjust and adapt to her new surroundings.

Bracket Busters! Don’t overlook Hope and Indie
At 13-years-old, Buddy sadly lost his home when his owners separated. Despite the confusion he must be feeling, Buddy has taken everything in stride and has been the perfect shelter guest. Buddy loves everyone he meets, and gets along well with children and cats. Buddy is a sweet, gentle boy who has captured the hearts of everyone at the shelter.
While Buddy loves his new friends, he is ready to find a forever friend to spend his golden years with. Buddy is a low-maintenance fellow who just wants a cozy bed, an occasional treat, leisurely walks, and a family to love.
