Pets of the Week February 25, 2013

Levi
He’s as perennially pleasing as the go-to jeans that share his name, with one defining difference — our 3-year-old American Staffordshire mix “Levi” loves you back — so much so that his exultant greeting includes dancing in circles at your feet, before presenting his back for a heavenly scratch. Levi was found stray but he’s so beautifully socialized he must have had a family; his world’s full of exciting new friends, young and old, people and other dogs alike, all are welcome to the 24/7 smile and wag he wears so well. Levi’s full grown and no bigger than medium-sized, an innocent young boy and natural ambassador whose kisses are eager and gentle at once; he’s smart, cooperative and attentive, an inside dog with outside privileges who’ll play for hours and proudly show you off on a leash. If lavish affection’s the kind you want Levi’s the fit for you; meet him and marvel at just how good friendship can feel.

Guinness
Lift him and you’ll see the word “pint” doesn’t apply; our “Guinness” is a magnificent Maine Coon/mix, one of the most popular breeds in the world, prized as “gentle giants” for their impressive size, keen intelligence, loving ways and enduring loyalty. Three-year-old Guinness is a stout companion with a frothy purr, a gloriously thick ruff, and an extensive vocabulary of chattering, chirping and fascinating meow-words, (another Maine Coon trait); he’s convivial as heck with humans young and old, leaning into you to offer a tender head butt and a poignant face rub, and he’s relaxed around other pets too. “Stray” seems an impossible descriptor for Guinness but there it is; in truth he’s the housecat of the century, a companion brimming with personality who you’ll be proud to call your own. Hanging out in bars doesn’t suit Guinness; he’s at Petsmart. See why Maine Coons inspire such passion, and how giddy you’ll feel when dear Guinness pours out his heart and soul just for you.

Pets of the Week February 18, 2013

Magic
Fall under the gentle spell of our 2-year-old American Staffordshire mix “Magic” and your calmness will match her own; her tranquil demeanor’s catching, and her naturally obedient nature makes her a wholesomely charming companion. Magic was found stray, a resplendent black and white beauty with a small, statuesque build and a penchant for keeping her kennel clean. Magic adores leash-walking but will gladly sit still to give you a kiss, her happy place is forever by your side; she gets along fine with other dogs but requests no cats, please. Magic promises to enchant as a member of your family and would fit in joyfully with your kids. See how quickly she’ll conjure her future as the world’s most devoted daughter; Magic can be yours, don’t wait.

Beau
He’s so pleased with your attention he sits tall and kneads in place, making what appears to be a springy march into your heart, accompanying him with a humming purr which throttles up to excited as you pet him. Handsome Beau was found stray, a 5-year-young onyx and white gentleman who loves big but dignified; a dream friend who hangs on your every word without disputing your plans, and quietly follows you everywhere to be there when you need him — wise, supportive, and fun. Beau’s gentle, loyal nature makes him an excellent choice for your young ones and the consummate sidekick for you; he’s respectful and well-mannered with other pets, and would enjoy an inside/outside home where he plans to come when called. Discover how easily a soldier of the heart can fall in with your family, kneading paws and all; your everyday ally Beau is stationed at Petsmart, waiting to demonstrate the triumph of steadfast friendship.

Pets of the Week February 11, 2013

Merri
Chocolate diamonds are all the rage for Valentine’s; but the kind that are already polished aren’t nearly as captivating as our year-and-a-half-young Lab mix “Merri” — she’s 45 lbs. of full throttle Fun-O-Meter, and her tender affection is equally dazzling. Merri came to us originally as a stray and she’s a trainer’s dream-girl — alert, attentive, treat-motivated and yearning to please; she adores a rope toy and throws her own tennis ball too, but she’ll abandon them both to race back to you. Merri would make a priceless companion for kids of all ages, she’s OK with cats and would enjoy being your only dog — her perfect setting is a devoted home with a spacious yard for romping and lots of love to give back. Romance rings true right here, right now; come behold a gleaming gem named Merri who’ll grace your calling heart forever.

Vlad
He comes courting with a sampler of plush head butts, soft nudges and polite hello-purrs, an apple-headed 10 lb.-and-full-grown tiger boy who’ll easily ensconce himself as the apple of your eye, testimony to how far the gentle side of masculine will go. “Vlad” was found stray and delivered to us, now his gratitude shines clearly in his perceptive emerald eyes; he’s too good at being friends with other cats, dogs, kids — and you —- to live alone, and besides it’d be a waste of his innate civility, and his debonair good looks too (he has a long undercoat just peeking out, another distinctive understatement of his well-bred mystery background.) Your handsome suitor Vlad is waiting to woo you at PetSmart; a more gallant lifelong companion you’ll never thrill to meet.

Pets of the Week February 4, 2013

Windsor
Come meet him and you’ll see that he’s fun and frisky, playful and perfect, and yes he’s loving, too. Windsor’s a 58 lb. Doberman mix friend in the making, who is intelligent and loyal. He’s 13-months young and full of energy. Windsor was found stray, he’s a fanatic about toys, would be great with older kids, and really is a “people-dog.” Windsor is highly trainable, and would be happiest playing with his human friends and toys. Meet Windsor and feel the youthful energy he will give you today and forever.

Safari
Look into her warm green eyes and you’ll begin to understand how kind, unassuming, and a little shy this petite five-year old brown Tabby friend can be. Safari was turned in sadly by her owner, but her one-on-one companion skills are as genuine as the rest of her. She enjoys the company of other cats as long as she can mingle at her own cautious pace and is just the gentle cat-friend who loves a kind human like you the best, she keeps a tidy box and would be happiest staying inside your home with you. Discover how loyal and affectionate a cat-companion can be; Safari’s heart and soul are packed and ready to make your life complete.

Pets of the Week January 28, 2013

Flip Flop
Typical for a Chocolate Lab (mix), Flip Flop is very social and especially loves the company of children. She’s a young dog, around one to two-years-old, and her youthful energy abounds. Flip Flop is also very well-mannered and walks well on a leash. (Leash walking is GREAT exercise and activity for her.) She recently returned from a month-long stint at Camp Chinquapin for Critters where she enjoyed time in a doggie play group and was schooled in good behavior. She is already spayed and ready to move into a home today!

Clara
Clara is currently at PetSmart for you to visit. Her etiquette lesson’s as warm and winsome as her face is in person, and her lovely demeanor makes you want to pour a nice cup of tea with her and chat away the problems of the world. Meet our 3-year-old Clara and you’ll see that she looks like a children’s book illustration come to life — she’s classically quaint, dainty and feminine, with a soft, fluffy coat so polite she barely sheds. Clara was turned in because her owner had money problems, she’s friendly with other cats but her first interest is in you; call her and she’ll trot over with a delicate meow; intelligent, responsive and genuinely pleased to meet you. Clara’s gently refined habits make her a lovely choice for older kids, or a single who wants a stalwart friend who only looks fragile. Stroke your affectionate new ally for life, Clara’s to ready to enrich your home today with her forever-comforting company.
