Pets of the Week December 9, 2013

Boo Boo
Just like the diminutive brown cartoon character he’s named after this Boo Boo is teddy bear adorable. He’s a Chow/Corgi mix and around five-years-young. Having spent time tethered to a chain with little social interaction, he learned to be independent and to keep himself entertained. When he is offered freedom to run and play in the yard he makes the most of it. Boo Boo keeps his kennel immaculate and has been described by volunteers simply as “an awesome dog.” Visit Boo Boo today if you have it in your heart to give this bundle of fluff a life of fun, freedom, and family.

Jax
The Matthew McConaughey of cats, laid-back Jax is a three-year “apple-headed” Brown Tabby who was found in the city flirting with passersby. And that hasn’t stopped. He’s an accomplished leg-rubber, full-time talker, and non-stop purrer. Whether he’s an indoor or outdoor kitty friend this cat will not disappoint. He offers as much affection as you can handle, but also enjoys his own zen quiet time playing the bongos. If a low maintenance pet is what suits your lifestyle, Jax is your guy! Visit him at Petsmart in Greenwood today to experience his power of persuasion.

Pets of the Week December 2, 2013

Scooby
He’s an Adonis of a dog, 38 lbs. of glowingly handsome manners, a 4-year-old American Staffordshire mix friend who’ll lay his head on your shoulder tenderly, play carefully with your young ones, and come at a run when you call — but never jump on you. “Scooby” is as popular with his dog playgroup as he is with kids, and just as trustworthy; pick him up to hug him and he’ll relax calmly in yours arms, because that’s exactly where he wants to be. See that a flawless family dog’s no myth at all; then make Scooby part of your happy reality.

Maya
She’s a 3-year-old Balinese mix beauty queen, set to stride down the runway and right into your heart, and she’s bringing the assets of her breed background with her — her silky, medium-length coat, vivid blue eyes, wedge-shaped head, and her long, slim body, too. Maya’s a rescue-Cat Fancier’s dream, she’s smart (the Balinese is rated highest in intelligence of all long-haired breeds), attentive, and outgoing; a gentle, affectionate friend for your children and an insightful ally for you. Maya’s petite underneath her airy coat, only 8 lbs.; she gets along graciously with other cats, and she keeps a tidy box, befitting her Balinese beauty status. Hear Miss Congeniality purr, she’ll win you in an instant, and you’ll never want to put her down.

Pets of the Week November 25, 2013

Sable
Smiling 3-year-old “Sable” is an Australian Cattle dog mix, but when she was surrounded by kids at the recent Starbucks event all she herded was hearts! Now she’s at Camp Chinquapin, where she’s determined to live up to her breed’s ranking as one of the most intelligent and trainable dogs — she can already sit, lie down and speak for a treat. Sable’s been completely trustworthy in every setting, no heel-nipping in sight, just a happy, outgoing sidekick making friends with everyone, including other dogs. At 47 lbs. she’s just right for picking up and hugging — and she’s a favorite with dog-walking volunteers, too. The only outback Sable needs is a nice yard, and she prizes YOU over any cattle that come her way. Visit Sable at Camp Chinquapin and see how much loyalty’s bred into one shiny young girl, and how perfectly our little Aussie can complete your family.

Jess
Her nose is pure gold and her instant purr’s equally precious; 9-month-old calico “Jess” was found stray, a tri-color treasure (she has onyx and immaculate white markings, too) whose richest reward is being close to you. Hold her and she’ll relax in your arms, quiet but not a bit shy, a bright jewel of a friend who gets along fine with other cats, keeps a tidy box, and prizes your attention above all else. Gentle Jess would make an exquisite choice for kids and would thrive as your inside/outside pet; her only request is that you receive the wealth of affection she has to give. Visit Jess at Petsmart and see what 24 carat companionship feels like, then take Jess home and enjoy her forever.

Pets of the Week November 18, 2013

Bo
He’s a strapping young well-bred Boxer mix Southern boy, born with a best-friend temperament, natural manners that tell him not to potty in his pen, and a beaming smile as handsome as his sleek brindle-and-white coat. Two-year-old “Bo” was found stray and he hasn’t stopped wagging since, make him your own with a little training (he can already “sit” for a treat) and he’ll polish up perfectly as your treasured indoor/outdoor family member. See how well Bo’s proud heart matches yours, and make him the newest tradition in your home’s happy heritage.

Turtle
Except for coming gently out of her shell, our slightly shy, way-pretty 6-month-old diluted Calico girl doesn’t resemble her name — “Turtle” — one bit. (Who ever heard of a turtle who purred, anyway? Or one who’s ermine-soft, and gives you a kiss by rubbing her face on your hand?) Turtle was born on someone’s property and is still getting used to being held, but a more promising confidante you won’t find, especially one with such exquisite pastel coloring. Turtle’s easy to please and keeps a tidy box; she enjoys being indoors or out, gets along fine with other cats, and thinks people of all sizes are wonderful (she might run from loud little ones at first). She’s waiting to greet you with a slow, silky head-butt; see how quickly you’ll fall for a little girl named Turtle.

Pets of the Week November 11, 2013

Dusty
“Kiss and tell” isn’t his style, simply because 6-year-old Chihuahua/mix “Dusty” is too busy kissing you more; this ardent lover-boy’s a 4-legged fountain of affection — smiling, gentle, and willing to run back to you the moment you call his name. Dusty’s a loyal companion dog who’s playful and trustworthy with kids, as filled with devotion as he is with snuggles. (Size-wise he’s small not tiny; but his wag’s bigger than the rest of him, and his heart’s bigger still.) See how happily Dusty fits in your lap and your family, he’s neutered, micro-chipped and ready to love you forever, starting today.

Lola
She’s as delicate as a snowflake and as airy too; a 2 year old pristine-pretty white feather of a cat — tender, quiet, and giving — whose fondest dream is to be close to you. Lola was surrendered by her owner with one kitten, since adopted; now it’s her turn to find a new family to adore. Pick her up and you’ll see she’s just a slip of a girl herself; her longish hair disguises her feminine young form. She’d make an exquisite friend for your young ones and will keep your home as pleasing as she keeps her cage, (Lola should spend most of her time indoors to protect her pink ears from the sun.) See how much enduring love a fragile beauty can deliver; Lola’s here and destined to float softly into your heart.
