Pets of the Week October 1, 2012


He’ll run to you heck-for-leather when you call his name, then carefully sit on command before dispensing kisses — he’s a Camp Chinquapin grad after all, and eager to do his trainers proud. At less than a year Border Collie/mix Freddie’s already full grown but on the small side of medium, with a vastly pleasing personality that sparkles likes his clean, shiny coat. Freddie’s smart, playful and gently submissive, a jubilant, highly trainable young boy who exemplifies the focused attention the breed is known for; your affection’s his primary motivator, he likes a treat but he performs for your praise. Freddie’s beautifully socialized — he’s a popular friend in any dog playgroup, is great on a leash, and would be a trustworthy fun-maker for kids school-aged and older; he loves a toy as much as the next boy and yes, he’ll happily fetch. Freddie’s already neutered, come adopt him today; all his potential and affection are neatly packed and ready to move right into your warm, spacious heart.


He looks like an Emperor Penguin but his vibrant purr gives him away, that and his funny short-form meow that comes out “Me Me Me Me Me!” Alas, handsome six-year-old Frasier was turned in by a loving family because he couldn’t learn to share — he needs to be your only cat, but he’s the only cat you’ll need. Frasier craves a mutual admiration society with only you in it, and some outdoor space would be great too, the better to expand his kingdom. In return he’ll show up promptly for meals, keep a neatnik box, and offer his ever-so-ample companionship; he’ll keep his warm, adoring emerald eyes on you constantly, because you are his alone. If you’re looking for a big endearing guy who understands that love and ownership are one in the same, Frasier’s ready to show you that “Me and You” is the only thing better than “Me Me Me.”

Pets of the Week September 24, 2012


You can see her gentle brown freckles clearly through her white coat and her personality’s just as transparent — 2-year-old Akeela’s feminine, vulnerable and authentically eager to please; a stellar Terrier/American Pit Bull companion whose owner moved away and abandoned her; but somehow left her tender heart more receptive than ever. Akeela’s way too well-mannered to jump on you, but her shy smile and happy wag will show you her calm, dainty demeanor in seconds. Her love’s the affectionate “by your side” kind; her play style isn’t rowdy but she’d make a trustworthy friend for kids, and her devotion’s a pleasure in itself. Akeela gets along fine with other dogs but declines the company of cats, she’s extremely food motivated and would make an exciting student of your every need — some housetraining’s already evident. Go see how welcoming a big, forgiving heart can be; Akeela will dedicate her life to you and never look back.


He’s PDA personified; affection pours out of his silver tabby-boy body as many ways as he can manage, and if you don’t want a fervent face rub, an exuberant purr and some buoyant biscuit-making too, well then don’t go see Carson. Carson was born on someone’s property and brought here, at 10-months-small he epitomizes the sterling beauty of youth; he’s intelligent, inquisitive and enthralled with you, happy to get along with other cats and dogs too, and naturally refined and gentle with kids. Carson keeps a tidy box and a clean white chin — he’ll prod you with it softly to make a point — then follow up with some fascinating cat-boy commentary; he knows every word but “aloof.” If you’ve waited to find a nimble young companion who finds heaven in your lap, your shoulder, neck, and face — meet Carson, and see how sweetly giving a genuine friend can be.

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.

Pets of the Week September 10, 2012


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.

Pets of the Week September 3, 2012


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. Dapper Dan’s just 4 years old; his owner had serious health problems and now he’s here, sporting a “lion cut” and looking for all the world like a young gentleman wearing a gray felt suit and white spats. Dan knows he’s handsome but he’s more concerned with you, and is quick to offer a devoted purr, a warm, solid snuggle and seriously pleasing companionship. 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.
