Burned Cat, Rescued Chihuahuas in Need of New Homes

Eleven rescued animals at the Humane Society of Broward County are in need of loving homes.

"Love Bug", a 1-year-old striped cat, suffered burns on nearly 40 percent of her face. She was originally found by Broward County Animal Care, where officials noted she smelled like motor oil. It is possible Love Bug was burned by crawling under a car or in a car engine to escape the summer sun.

Three Chihuahuas are in need of a new home after their owner passed away. Honey, Freddie and Oreo, ages 7, 9 and 10 respectively, are sweet and affectionate. All three are available for immediate adoption.

Seven other Chihuahuas, ages ranging between 5 to 10 years old, were surrendered because the owner had "too many pets." HSBC and another rescue stepped in to assist Broward Animal Care with the dogs. Each dog received vaccinations and comprehensive medical reports after examination.

All of the animals are available for adoption at the Humane Society of Broward County. All adoptions include vaccinations, spaying or neutering, and microchipping. For more information on how to adopt any of these animals, contact the Humane Society at (954) 989-3977, or visit their website
