Pet of the week

Do you know why fish are so smart? Because they swim in schools. Adopt Denim and Dewdrop, this cute pair of gouramis, and you, too, will be telling all your friends excellent fish jokes. Watching fish swim has been shown to have a calming effect on people, helping to lower stress hormones and reduce anxiety. These cool fish have a special organ that allows them to breathe surface air. Some gouramis hunt by spitting water and knocking down flying insects. These tropical freshwater fish are well-suited for aquariums and are looking for their forever tank. They would love to be in a lavish 30-gallon or larger tank of their own so they can explore. Thinking about letting Denim and Dewdrop be your role models for flowing through life with ease? Make an appointment to come and see them. Denim ID #972739 and Dewdrop #972740 are at Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA’s San Mateo location at 12 Airport Blvd. Call (650) 340-7022 to schedule an appointment to meet them. You can also call with questions. Visit www.phs-spca.org for more information.
