Pets of the Week August 11, 2014

Olivia
You would be hard pressed to find a more charming companion than Olivia. She was tip-top of her class at this years’ Camp Good Dog for Kids, mastering all manner of commands. She walks on leash with a runway models prowess, and at 7 months old she is brimming with “All-Star” potential. Olivia is a versatile hound mix with just as much good looks as smarts and good old fashioned personality. Her bright white coat is marked with caramel colored patches and the occasional grass stain from begging for belly rubs. Olivia shines brightest in a crowd, adoring children of all ages and pets of all kinds, the more the merrier is this girls motto. A larger pup, she will do best in an active home or one with a fenced in yard to romp in. Come visit Olivia and see for yourself what a fun furry friend could add to your life.

Kendra
With a faraway gaze, little Miss Kendra is the ultimate day dreamer. All the time that she’s spent with her head in the clouds has paid off, leaving her as gentle, plush, and soft as can be. Kendra’s short coat is patched grey and gold with watercolor artistry. At only one year old, her personality is purr-fectly peaceful and serene even with plenty of feline roommates. One can only imagine what this lovely young lady is pondering, as she sits in her favorite window; a cozy, quiet home full of comfy perches and sunny views outside, with a family always happy to cuddle. For now she sits patiently waiting at her lookout point for her new family to walk into her life and make this fanciful feline a true day dream believer.

Pets of the Week August 4, 2014

Malcolm
His calm, unfailing diplomacy goes way beyond normal puppy skills, but 5- month- old Hound/American Pit Bull mix Malcolm is anything but ordinary. Hold him in your arms and he’s a snuggly, buff -colored baby; put him down and he’s a quiet, gentle, trustworthy companion to kids. Malcolm’s temperament’s so adored by other dogs he’s in two play groups; our big dogs love him especially — maybe that’s because he’ll grow from his present 25 lbs. to a 50-60 lb. big boy himself; his heart already seems vast. Malcolm’s smart, impressionable and imminently trainable; he already knows not to jump on you, simply because he’s naturally polite. Come meet the handsome little boy with the fun kisses and refined ways, and marvel at the magic of Malcolm.

Angelica
Why she needs Prozac is a mystery — what beautiful 2-year-old tiger girl, with lovely orange and creamy white markings interspersed in her stripes, who’s social, attentive, affectionate, and talkative has reason to need an antidepressant? But Angelica’s behavior was unpredictable without her meds (she played a wee bit too hard and on occasion would bite) and the vet suggested we give it a try, and now she’s a Prozac success story if there ever was one. Angelica would like to be your only pet, and in a home with some nice, civilized adults would suit her perfectly. She has no choice but to be on her medicine forever, and will gladly reimburse you for the small monthly expense with exuberant head rubs and a plethora of cheerful chirps. Come see how charming a Prozac purr can be, and how forever-happy you and Angelica can feel; she’s already spayed and can go home today.

Pets of the Week July 28, 2014

Sporty-BC
He’s the breed of legendary loyalty made famous by the movie “Hachiko” — 3 year old, 55 lb. Akita mix “Sporty B” embodies the attributes which made his Akita ancestors a national monument in their native Japan. Sporty’s dignified, mannerly, and independent, a courageous guard dog who’s patient with kids and excellent on a leash, and his purpose in life is to form a single-minded bond with his beloved forever family. Sporty listens well and would be a dream to train, he’ll already “sit” for a treat. Akitas are known to be dominant, so Sporty should be your only dog — cats however, are fine. Come meet the most exciting friend you’ll ever find, and enjoy devotion that’s truly a breed apart.

Pierce
He was trapped when tiny at a lakeside feral colony, but 3-month-young Pierce is quite the opposite of wild; he’s so innately refined he was born in a Tuxedo, and his cheerful, humming purr and snugly face rubs will chase any doubts about his love for humans. (He’ll be shy for a moment, then his lap cat instincts kick in, and he’s as calm and comforting a friend as you’ll find). Pierce is good with other cats, gentle with kids, and gets along happily with well- mannered dogs, too. He could be a fine house feline who’ll never need to dress for dinner, or live inside/outside as long as you’re available for a serious affection-fest, with purrs aplenty and some soft kneading, too. Pierce’s already neutered and ready to go home today, come and be caught by a warm companion in formal wear.

Pets of the Week July 21, 2014

Nova
At 3 years old and 55 lbs., Retriever mix Nova’s destined to be the brightest family dog in your galaxy; he’s so perceptive he’ll run and romp with the big kids, then walk ever so carefully around a little child; so cooperative he refuses to potty in his run, and returns to his kennel on request. Nova’s white-tipped tail never stops wagging and he gives kisses the moment you ask; hug his neck and he’ll rest in your arms. Nova gets along great with other dogs, is good on a leash and would love the lake, but will settle into a baby pool with a gracious white-toothed smile. Come embrace a match made in heaven, your new son Nova is here.

Thomas
He’s a debonair 2-year-old in a fine a blue-gray suit, with a white star at his collar no less; but his demeanor outshines even his elegant good looks. Thomas is alert, responsive, affectionate and attentive; an avid listener who offers his own judicious comments only after hearing all you have to say. Despite his social charms, Thomas would enjoy a little independence, maybe as a stunning porch feline rather than a lap cat. (He comes when you call, never fear.) Thomas likes a little distance from other cats, but thinks dogs are just fine; he’s already neutered and ready
to grace your home today. Come meet our delightful boy in blue-gray, and let your colorful friendship begin.

Pets of the Week July 14, 2014

Twinkle
Her name’s “Twinkle” because she’s a little star — a 19 lb., 5-months-young Boxer/Retriever mix who’s a shining example of combined breeds creating a stellar family dog. Twinkle’s femininity shines nonstop, so does her warm friendship for kids and others dogs — even cats. Twinkle listens well, is good on a leash and can sit for a treat; she’s perceptive, playful, gentle (her mouth is like velvet) and cooperative. Adopt her now and teach her your family’s ways, she’s treat-motivated and would be a dream to train. See how many kisses and wags this little star has to give, and let Twinkle light up your world.

Brat Pack
Meet the Brat Pack — four-month-old litter mates Emilio, Andrew, Rob and Demi are named for the stars of Saint Elmo s fire, they’re outgoing, active, popular, and admirably good-looking. (There is, however, no bratty behavior in sight, just lots and lots of purrs.) Demi and Andrew have a bit of white bling on their chests, otherwise they’re pure svelte black, with wise and witty brown eyes constantly searching for fun and snuggles, at which they excel. Our Brats adore each other but are so people-loving that they’d happily go home with you separately. Our little
celebs are already fixed and microchipped; take 1 or 2 home today, and enjoy a forever-fan club of your very own.
