Meet Tux and Echo, the young bonded pair! These two cuties came to us as strays and are in search of a quiet forever home. Echo (black) and Tux (black & white) are shy, and may take longer than usual to adjust to a home setting and come out of their shell. They are very bonded and rely on each other for support. If you can give these two lovely young girls the patient forever home they deserve, apply today! Visit Tux and Echo at the Venango County Humane Society from noon to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
