Humane Society of the TC Pet of the Week: Jalapeno

Humane Society of the Treasure Coast, YourNews contributor

PALM CITY — Here at HSTC we adopt out more than just dogs, cats, and rabbits!

Meet Jalapeno the spicy robo hamster. He views his role in a new home as purely ornamental and not very “hands-on.” He is not a snuggly hamster and does not appreciate human interaction. Jalapeno is, however, extremely adorable and performs many hamster antics for his owner’s viewing pleasure.

This pet and many more are available for adoption through the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast. Locations to adopt are the HSTC Main Shelter at 4100 S.W. Leighton Farm Ave. in Palm City, the HSTC Thrift Store Central at 2585 S.E. Federal Highway in Stuart, and the HSTC Thrift Store North at 1099 N.W. 21st St. in Stuart. Normal adoption hours are Mondays-Saturdays, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sundays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. View the pets currently available for adoption at www.hstc1.org. Give us a call at 772-223-8822 if you have any questions.
