GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) -Let’s take a look at some adorable adoptable animals from Alachua County looking for their new loving homes.

Margie is a quirky 6-year-old who is deaf and partially blind but loves to cuddle once she warms up.

Benedict is a friendly, playful dog who enjoys making friends and is great for walks and adventures.

Lily Bell is a low-energy, house-trained, and crate-trained dog. She’s cautious with newcomers but adapts well, enjoying lounging, playing fetch, and has made friends in her foster home.
