Pets of the Week January 27, 2014

Simon
Simon says “Look at this Frisbee!” Simon says “Now throw it for me!” Don’t worry; this natural born entertainer isn’t a demanding dog. It’s all fun and games to him! He’s a 30 lb barrel of monkeys looking for an active family to call his own. This fella is a mix of retriever and terrier, and has taken the friendliest parts of each. Even though he often plays fetch with himself, throwing toys in the air and leaping to catch them, he is looking for friends to join the fun. Older children and any who are young at heart are right up this goofball’s alley. Simon was found as a stray, but this 10 month old pup doesn’t let a little thing like that get him down. He knows the games will only get better from here and he can’t wait for a loving family to join in! When you visit Simon at our Adoption Center, you’ll see that every time he meets a new friend he can’t wait to start having a good time together! Simon says “Let’s get started!”

Camille
She is our feline patron of the arts. Camille is the first one calling out with musical meows when you walk into the Adoption Center. It’s as if she’s worried she may be over looked. She chirps and sings as well as any songbird, and we think she’s as pretty as a picture with her Mona Lisa smile. Even her coat is a masterpiece, milky white with mahogany striped patches, its pure expressionism. At 3 years young, Camille has all the skills of a prima ballerina when she pads over to grace you with her charms. We aren’t sure how she ended up a stray wandering through town, but now she’s yours to admire. This cultured lady always keeps clean and prim. A social butterfly, she wants more than anything to be a part of someone’s life. The only thing she’s missing is a family to love and a home to fill with her unique art.

Pets of the Week January 20, 2014

Blitzen
He’s a ton of fun and just 37 lbs! Exuberant 1-½ year old hound/mix Blitzen is the darling of the yard; he’ll gallop for a toy, race by to give a kiss, hang out for a gentle wag and zoom off again, always on his merry way. He’s affectionate but not needy, energized but gentle, an ever-smiling playmate with infinite reserves of patience. Blitzen would be the consummate sidekick for an outgoing family, or a single who thrives on happy companionship; he could easily be an apartment pet. He’s fine with other dogs and working on his house training. Call Blitzen to you today, see how eagerly he weighs in to your heart and how light it feels ever after.

Trinity
Meet nimble Trinity and you’ll see there’s nothing missing, despite the fact that she came to us with only one back leg (the other was professionally amputated) She has, after all, everything she needs to be a perfectly loving 2-year-old — a soft black “Torti” face with gold flecks that don’t rub off on you, two gentle front paws for muffin-making, a generous purr melody she’ll sing at a moment’s notice, and a personality so cheerful she makes the rest of us look unbalanced. (And yes she gets around just fine, thanks). Trinity’s OK with other cats, keeps a tidy box and looks forward to showing you how hard it is to spot her missing limb, and how easy it is to feel she makes your life blissfully complete.

Pets of the Week January 13, 2014

Lana
She’s a porcelain-pink skinned young lady underneath her clean white coat, 4 years young and radiantly affectionate, fully capable of hearing with her heart and coming to a hand signal too, not letting a small thing like deafness stand in her gentle way. American Pit Bull terrier mix Lana epitomizes femininity, she’ll run and play joyously but is too well-mannered to jump on you, and her loving disposition’s as pure as her smile. Lana’s already partially house trained and eager to become your perfect inside dog; meet her and see how an oh-so-pretty girl can become your most resilient friend, and your family’s too.

Thunder
Except for the soft rumble of her contented purr there’s nothing stormy about 2-year old tortoise shell beauty “Thunder.” (Well if you counted the lovely splashes of gold in her black coat as lightning against a night sky you might be onto something, but she’s really the most peaceful of cats, and at
8 lbs. forever small — cuddly, social, and adaptable too, she could live inside or out.) Visit Thunder at Petsmart to see how sweetly this warm, girly, muffin-making Thunder can give you your daily dose of sunshine despite her tempestuous name.

Pets of the Week January 6, 2014

Pikachu
She’s currently in the Adoption office, greeting the public with her own tranquil, tail-wagging aplomb — a beautifully socialized 4-year-old lap dog who bears a striking resemblance to the Welsh Corgi breed made famous by British royalty (including her coloring and penchant for following you anywhere to give you a kiss.) Pikachu’s a Camp Chinquapin graduate, a sturdy little lady who loves a leash, cavorts happily with kids and canines, and is calmly accepting of your adoration, which is, after all, her due. She’s heartworm positive and will be readily available for treatment, since she plans to be by your side 24/7. Pikachu’s already spayed, make her your home’s crowning touch today.

Allister
He’s a pure young pleasure of a cat — as rich, soft and relaxed as black cashmere, but with a purr that says he delights in your touch as much as you do in his. Gentle one-year-old Allister was found stray but his social habits are impeccable; he’s a loving friend to his cage-mate, and his trusting, affectionate personality make him a perfect pick for a family with young ones, or anyone who deserves a distinctive ally who’s mostly fur (he’s full grown but only weighs 7 lbs.) Allister’s already fixed and ready to go home right now, see how exquisitely he drapes in your arms and your forever heart.
