Pets of the Week September 17, 2012


She cried when her roommate was adopted, but then 2-year-old Jaya’s loving heart is way bigger than the rest of her; her terrier/mix size makes her a perfect lap dog, although she’s too full of fun to stay lap bound for long. Jaya was found stray, and the greatest mystery is how a lone little dog came to be such a fine companion — she’s intelligent, attentive, loyal and calm; an excellent playmate for other dogs and even more so for even your smallest child. Her fun-loving spirit includes no aggression at all; her sprightly good humor overflows only in the form of kisses, and they’re just as tidy as the rest of her. If you understand what a joy great friendship is, come meet your match. Jaya will hand you her beautiful heart first, and all the fun will follow.


Her China blue eyes are gloriously Siamese and her exquisite coat is a most distinctive form of calico, but despite her exotic good looks she’s still “Mandy.” Pick her up and she’ll tenderly purr you her story — her owner couldn’t keep her and so she’s here, feeling a little shy but ready to exult in your attention, turn her head upside down and show you the delightful spots on her velvet chin, and all the colors of her slender stomach too. Mandy’s unaware of her striking appearance; her two-year-old heart is full of homespun acceptance — other cats are fine with her, dogs too, and she’ll gently befriend your kids. Come marvel at the warmth of her blue gaze; Mandy’s ready to show you every color in the spectrum of cat love, and more.

He’s smart, resourceful and playful too — as handsome as he is friendly, beautifully housetrained and ready to enrich your life with all the Labrador/Husky charm that runs through his veins. Shadow was turned in because he kept escaping, but when you look into his blue and blue/brown eyes you’ll understand that this rollicking 5-year-old needs mental and physical fun; he’s quick to join his playgroup’s latest game, adores squeaky toys, and keeps his laid-back, funny outlook through thick and thin. Shadow’s gentle, relaxed, affectionate disposition makes him an excellent companion for kids large and small, and his sled-dog ancestor loyalty is yours for the asking. Shadow’s food-motivated and extremely trainable, don’t miss your chance to make him yours, and teach him exactly how to be your family’s lifelong pride and joy.


She’s whiter than Snow White ever was, but her sweetness is just as pristine as the fairy tale heroine’s, and her purr’s so warm it’ll melt you into happily-ever-after. Two-year-old Mildred was found stray in Greenwood and she’s immaculate in every way; completely kind, loving, and attentive — she’ll come when you call her, give you a gentle white-velvet head butt, curl up in your lap blissfully and quietly make the world right. Mildred thinks everyone’s wonderful, other cats included, and her patient affection makes her a perfect child’s companion. Come see how purely gracious a pure white a cat can be, and how enchanting a love story she’ll start spinning for you the moment she enters your life.

Persian prince Dapper Dan delights in demonstrating all the reasons his breed has been our country’s most popular for years; his affectionate ways are as deep as his face is flat, and he’ll quickly show you the meaning of pure friendship.

His placid disposition makes him a great choice for kids and he’s fine with other cats; he keeps a fine box and enjoys going outside, as long as he knows your lap is waiting. Come hear the sound of a Persian plucking your heartstrings; Dapper Dan’s ready to show you forever happiness.


She’s the spunky little girl who thinks big, and if you’re like her handler at our Petco event, you’ll be smitten and smiling before you can say her name, “Joanna.” This 3-year-old Chihuahua/Terrier mix is packed with more entertainment value than all the rest of us put together — her leadership style’s simply “do what I say,” but her canine friends are so adoring they’re happy to comply. Joanna’s owner gave her up because of money troubles, but Joanna’s self-image hasn’t suffered; she’s loving, humorous and full of merrymaking — brighter than a new penny and eager to show you how quickly she can learn, a perfect pick for kids who need a harmless but mischievous playmate or a single who deserves a cuter than cute sidekick. Meeting her is its own reward; come see how boring your life’s been ’til now, and how much life, fun and friendship can be contained in a little dog named Joanna.

Her eyeliner’s as dramatic as a prima ballerina’s, and her velvety purr makes the perfect musical score — but this radiant 5-month old calico girl’s more nimble clown than graceful dancer; she’ll delight you with her antics, then rub her ultra-plush fur all over you just to heap pleasure on pleasure. “Neat” was found stray in Ware Shoals; she’s an immaculate calico phenom who loves others cats, is fine with dogs, and thinks everyone else is her special playmate.

The commander of a sea vessel, he is not. But Skipper is the kind of dog that will have you skipping along and playing with him. This Jack Russell Terrier and Chihuahua mix is a joy of a dog. His love is indiscriminate. Adults, kids of all ages, and other dogs are a-okay by him and he welcomes anyone who wants to enjoy a romp in the yard or a leisurely walk. As much as Skipper loves to play, he also loves to sit and have quiet cuddle time. He simply enjoys being close to people and sharing his unconditional love.


This is Ronnie. He is a simple cat who relishes the simple things of life. What’s not simple about him is his looks. His brown and black striped tabby coat and hypnotic green eyes are stunning. It seems that Ronnie doesn’t know just how handsome he is, which makes him even more endearing. A gentle rub down his back will get you the sweetest return of affection, then he’ll look up at you with his emerald green eyes as if to say, “Why, thank you! I would like for us to be friends.” Ronnie keeps his living area spic and span and, as a matter of fact, he keeps himself quite tidy as well.
