Pet of the Week: Adorable Juliet and Friends Looking for Forever Homes

Dan Rossi from the Palm Springs Animal Shelter joined NBC Palm Springs this morning to introduce viewers to Juliet, a gorgeous 3-month-old shepherd mix puppy with stunning eyes. This sweet girl is smart, affectionate, and ready to bond with a family who understands the commitment that comes with a young pup.

The shelter is also hoping to find homes for three other deserving dogs:

Zack is a 4-year-old brindle pit mix with striking blue and brown eyes. He's affectionate, loves attention, and has been at the shelter since October. While he's still learning basic commands, he's attentive and eager to please. Zack rides well in cars and is great on leash.

Piper, a 9-year-old pit bull mix, has officially been waiting over a year for her forever home. This sweet senior is fully potty trained, loves toys and car rides, and was a gem during her time in foster care. Piper would do best as the only dog in the household.

Rocky is a special 1.5-year-old shepherd/husky mix who is deaf. He bonds incredibly closely with his people and communicates through hand signals and visual cues. Rocky is smart, curious, and affectionate, but needs a patient adopter who understands his unique needs. He would do best as an only dog.

Upcoming Events:

  • Dog Adoption Street Fair: Saturday, February 28, 8am-2pm at The Street Fair at College of the Desert (43-500 Monterey Ave, Palm Desert)

  • Wild & Scenic Film Festival: March 6-7 at Rancho Mirage Library (71-100 Hwy 111), featuring wildlife films and a child-focused "Wild Child Fest" on Saturday
