Almond and Maria

Almond is a one year, six-month-old domestic shorthair mix, and Maria is a four-year-old German Shepherd mix.

We here at Prospect Heights Patch are animal lovers. That's why we've teamed up with to feature one dog and one cat that need a loving home each week. If you think you would like to adopt either pet, call 718-436-5163 or stop by Sean Casey Animal Rescue, located at 153 East 3rd Street between Fort Hamilton Parkway and Caton Avenue.

This week our "" column features Almond, a one-and-a-half-year-old female domestic shorthair cat, and Maria, a 4-year-old female German Shepherd.

Sean Casey, director of the animal rescue, said Almond is a sweet cat, but that she is shy and likes to hide at the back of her cage. This means that, when people come to adopt an animal, they often overlook her.

Almond is spayed, dewormed, treated to prevent fleas and ticks, and is up-to-date on all of her vaccinations. Included with her $100 adoption fee is a free veterinary exam at Sean Casey, one free month of pet health insurance and a microchip encoded with information that will help you find Almond if she ever gets lost.

Casey said Maria is a wonderful dog who has been with the shelter for some time. She's completely housetrained, and knows how to do a number of tricks. However, Casey said that she doesn't get along well with other dogs, so if you plan on adopting her, it's best that you do not own another dog.
