Jack just needs a bit of love. This sweet boy is only one year old, but definitely could use a second chance. While he's shy at first, when he warms up to you like he did with FF Kazol, you just know that he'll be your best friend forever. We don't know where Jack came from, but he sure loves making friends with the other pups at the shelter, and feels most comfortable when he has another furry friend by his side that'll show him that hey, life is great! Come meet sweet Jack Jack today—his adoption fee is waived when you mention this #FurryFridays post at El Paso Animal Services!

Samuel is the perfect companion, ready and willing to be your best friend and will always keep you company by your side. This sweet boy has some life experience at eight years old, so he already knows how to be the perfect roommate—no puppy stage for this gentleman! But though he's middle-aged, he feels as if he's in his prime because he's up for anything you'd like to do, you lead, and he'll follow, just as he did today at the Fire Training Academy with Lt. Padilla. Come meet Sam today at @epanimalsvc , his adoption fee is waived when you mention you saw him featured on #EPFD's #FurryFriday!
