Pets of the Week May 26, 2014

Lupin
Sink your fingers deep in his downy coat and you’d swear he was a big plush toy, but watch him bound away effortlessly only to come racing back and you’ll know it’s our jubilant athlete Lupin, a 2-year-old Shepherd mix heart throb who dedicates every ounce of himself to smiling, kissing, wagging and just plain idolizing you. Lupin’s smart, focused, personable, and good on a leash; his fondest wish is to win “best-trained dog” in your neighborhood,(not to mention “best looking.”) Lupin’s great with other canines and needs an active family who understands his young boy appetite for exercise. Come see Lupin’s joyful heart come to life when he meets you, he’s already neutered and ready to complete your life today.

Bella
She’ll dispel the myth that “outdoor cats don’t care” in the time it takes her to exclaim “meeee-you!” and reach through the cage to touch you; lovely one- year-old Bella’s as responsive as they come, but she adores being outside, as long as she has you nearby to rub and visit — and yes, she’ll come in for a while, too. (A lap cat she’s not, her affection is plentiful but she dispenses it in Bella-esque fashion, with lots of conversation, purring and head butting to keep things lively.) Bella keeps her orange stripes glowing and her creamy whites clean; she’d be a delightful friend for older kids who know not to grab her and grownups who appreciate her original brand of companionship. Bella’s spayed and ready to give you her own true warmth, take her home today.

Pets of the Week May 19, 2014

Violet
Patiently sitting in her kennel, Violet wags her tail and smiles wide at every passerby. She loves to see new faces because her wonderful leash manners have made her a volunteer favorite for walks around the Civic Center. Her chestnut and white coat sparkles in the sun as she pads down the walkway, never thinking of pulling or tugging the leash. This 8 year old lady only leaves your side to roll in the grass and beg for belly rubs. Violet’s good etiquette extends to people of all ages and dogs of all sizes, and her house manners are just as polished. This American Staffordshire terrier mix is well suited for indoor life and just waiting for a couch to call her very own! Ever patient, Violet is hoping for a chance to love a family with her whole heart and make a home complete.

Festus
Brimming with fun and bursting with cheer, Festus lives up to his name. Latin for festive, his name is just one facet to this gem of a cat. Soft and squeezable, he prefers to be in contact with his people. He purrs and flexes when petted, showing off brown tabby stripes and clean white patches accenting his coat. At 3 years old, he has past the pesky kitten stage, but has kept an ever friendly energy flowing freely. He is ready to be a breath of fresh air to a forever family, and he has perfect poise indoors with tidy litter box manners. Children of all ages and families of 1 to 100 are just fine for this playful feline. He is only waiting for YOU, and then the festivities can begin!

Pets of the Week May 12, 2014

Willie
He’s an eye-catching Hound with old-fashioned charm, and that is just scratching the surface of this big galoot. As far as Willie is concerned, surface scratching is nice but ear scratches are better, and belly rubs are just the best. With just 2 years under his belt, he has grown to be one of the largest and sweetest Coonhound mixes seen at the shelter. Willie keeps his kennel clean and plays well with other dogs, though he does seem to prefer the smaller pets, perhaps so he can keep his “big man on campus“ status. Willie is right at home romping around the yard, but having his own space is what he really craves. He is a perfect gentleman who would fit in any family with older children who can stand up to his stature. All he needs is the right family to open their hearts to this big fella and he can make their lives complete!

Bobby
When Bobby arrived at the shelter he was shy, he had a few nicks and scrapes, and no tail. How he got into that physical condition was a bit of a mystery, but love and care worked their magic and, as time passed, his wounds healed and his fantastic nature shined blossomed. His bright lemon yellow eyes shine when he sees new faces, and he turns into a “master muffin maker” when getting petted. At 2 years young, he has perfected his purr and settled into indoor life, keeping his litter box tidy and his soft coat dove grey and white coat clean. Bobby is ready for a new chapter in his story and is looking for a warm lap to nestle in to and a caring home to enjoy.

Pets of the Week May 5, 2014

Leara
Her dancing heart was clearly untouched by whatever left the ballerina-pink scar on her side. 2 year old Am/Staff Terrier mix Leara’s as delicately feminine a young friend as you’ll find, a 48 lb. stunner who’s gentle, demure and graceful in every way. Whether she’s prancing the yard, sitting for a treat, or walking cheerfully on a leash, her pure, calm affection is unwavering. Trustworthy Leara would make an enchanting playmate for kids big and small, and is so well-mannered she’d fit happily into your home. Come marvel at the beautifully composed prima companion you’ve been missing.

Senna
You could call him “mellow-yellow” but that only describes his exceptionally harmonious personality; Senna’s really deep orange and alabaster white, a slender, handsome, 2 year old biscuit-maker whose snuggle capabilities are rivaled only by his constant head-butts. Serene Senna would be a magnificent choice for even small children; he gets along famously with other cats, keeps a way-tidy box, only stops purring when he sleeps, if then, and gives more of himself than he asks of you. Senna’s already neutered and ready to adopt, come meet him today and see
how indescribably easy an ardent friendship can be.
