They are two of the residents of the animhal shelter in Whitby. They, along with their companions there, are available for adoption. Some of the other unclaimed or homeless animaIs at the shelter are shown in aur photo page feature-Page 4 this issue-and include a variety of dogs, cats, a rabbit and even a guinea pig. In our view one of them would make an ideal Christmas gift for some deserving youngster in need of a friend to cail his very own.
