If you’re in the market for a furry addition to your home, check out some of the most irresistible pets up for adoption in Salt Lake.

Borris:

A senior pit bull terrier mix with sweetest puppy dog eyes. At Best Friends Animal Society, adoption fees are waived for any senior dogs or cats over seven-years-old.

Hugo and Optimus Prime: If you have space for two, consider this father-and-son duo at Ruff Haven Crisis Sheltering.

Mavi: I can’t quite explain why, maybe it’s the gray beard, but Mavi the nine-year-old cat at Nuzzles & Co looks like Oscar Isaac.

Couture: Please somebody turn Couture the cat into a meme. This zany two-year-old is litter box trained and good with dogs.
