Pets of the Week April 20, 2015

Polly
Polly peers quietly from her kennel, unsure of the great, big world around her. Being in the Animal Shelter seems to be a bit confusing for this 3-year-old Hound and American Pit Bull Terrier Mix. Her sensitive nature urges her to stay close and she constantly looks to the people and pets around her for reassurance. Polly has one of the most trusting souls; no matter how timid she may be in a new situation, she focuses on the humans around her. With a little time she always finds the courage to greet people and get the affectionate embrace she adores. Polly is a medium-sized dog that will thrive in a home that can build up her confidence and show her just how wonderful this world can be.

Yang
Yang is a lady of leisure, but she does have one job that she takes very seriously. She has made it her life’s work to fill a lucky home with as much love as possible. This 6 year old plumpy cat wakes up early every morning to make sure that her kennel is neat and that all the beds and blankets are ready for afternoon naps. Yang makes sure that every inch of her short black and white coat is spotless and ready for people to pet. She has spent years studying “The Art of Cuddles” and has mastered her lessons on “Relaxation with Humans.” The ultimate indoor house cat, Yang feels she is ready for her big promotion to a corner window in a forever home. She is ready to meet her new family today and will happily seek an interview with visitors to the Adoption Center. You could be one warm and happy hug away from bringing home your newest family member.

Pets of the Week April 13, 2015

Suede
With a personality as smooth as silk, Suede makes your heart feel warm and fuzzy. She is a stunning American Staffordshire Terrier mix — 3 years young — with a calm, content nature, and has a gorgeous coffee-colored coat with creamy swirls around her face and chest. Her eyes glitter golden each time she meets a friendly face and she is wonderfully well-behaved with children of all ages. Suede is easy going enough to live indoors and would not need a yard as long as lively walks could be provided each day. She is a very bright dog and has excelled at the basics, but will truly blossom in a family that will fulfill her need to learn. Suede is patiently waiting to find a home that will wrap her up in love and is ready to go home with her forever family today.

Nick
Nick has masterful way with words, or at least that’s what he thinks. He is a frisky 3 year old fella with a gift for gab. Nick will happily “talk” with you each morning before he starts his day at your side. He is well suited to live as a house cat or to adventure outside during the day. His active nature may even make him a hard working hunter, although he may be more interested in chatting with mice, instead of chasing. Nick has a short, pitch-black coat that he keeps squeaky clean, and yellow eyes that seem lit from within. He is friendly and playful with people young and old and he happily plays with other pets. Nick’s honed his communication skills and is ready to get his big break. He’s waiting for a home to fill with entertainment and a family’s love that will leave him speechless.

Pets of the Week March 30, 2015

Bonita
If beauty is as beauty does, then Bonita is the perfect package. Just as lovely on the inside as she is shining out to the world. A Bonnie Boxer mix, with a short white coat and bright brindle patches, she turns heads and warms hearts by just being “her.” Bonita is 7-years-old and at that wonderful age when she can be calm and content all day long, but still bounce and play with a puppy’s spirit. She would be a wonderful choice for families with children or other like-minded canine companions. Her laid back energy makes this larger gal a good fit for homes large and small as long as she can go on a nice walk with her favorite pals. Bonita is looking to add beauty to the lives of her new forever family with a lifetime of love and loyalty.

Jameson
Jameson is a superhero in the making. This 1-year-old dynamo is ready to swoop into your life and save the day. Just when loneliness gets you down, this captain of cuddles arrives to save your lap from a case of the chills. Jameson’s iron grey armor is soft and sleek, and his powers of persuasion make even the biggest kitty-sceptics melt. By day, Jameson is a well-mannered house cat happily living with pets and people alike, but if boredom or worries happen to strike the family he loves, he’ll spring into action with acrobatic antics that will brighten the bluest of day. Jameson knows that he’s destined to rescue a lucky family and become the champion of a home in need of a furry avenger. Come and visit him today and begin the next chapter if an epic adventure with Jameson.

Pets of the Week March 23, 2015

Blake
Blake is a fan favorite with an entire cheerleading squad at his back. How could you not root for such a handsome and happy dog? Blake is a rip-roaring 5-year-old Border collie and German Shepherd dog cross with loyalty and smarts aplenty. He sports a thick, midnight black coat with just enough grey on his muzzle to give him a distinguished, worldly look. Blake isn’t all business though, he loves to play with people and pets alike. Blake is medium-sized and was an indoor dog in the past, so he could settle in easily to most homes and would even be a great pick for apartment life with an active owner. Blake is ready to take his popularity to new heights by becoming the heart of a new family. Come and visit Blake today, to see what everybody’s cheering about and you just might find your very own biggest fan.

Berni
He’s bashful at first, but it only takes an instant for Bernie to warm right up and cuddle into a friendly embrace. Bernie loves to be held and he can never get enough soft chin scratches. He’s a dashing feline with an impeccably tailored tuxedo coat, a “homebody” who prefers to keep his kennel spic and span. He is just over 2 years old and gets along happily with cats and dogs alike. His patience and laid back “cattitude” will make him a marvelous member of a family with children. Bernie may be a quiet kitty, but he’s also quite the ham when it comes to tussling with toy mice or showing off his dance moves while chasing the beam of a laser pointer. He’s ready to head home today and start sharing long naps in a comfy chair with you because those are always best when curled up with a feline friend. Bernie can be visited at Petsmart in Greenwood.

Pets of the Week March 16, 2015

Ozzie
Ozzie oozes optimism, and positive energy! This 11-month-old pup knows how to play, and can brighten your spirits in a flash. Ozzie is a medium-sized Australian Cattle Dog mix who retains much of the breed’s spunky drive and high intelligence. His bouncy personality may not mesh well with all pets, so he’s looking for a family who is puppy savvy and ready for an energetic new playmate. Ozzie has an “easy keeper” black coat with patches of white ticking. He would do best in a home that has an outdoor space for exercise and a family who can keep him active and engaged. This friendly pup has yet to figure out what the word “stranger” means, since he’s too busy making friends with everyone he sees. Ozzie loves to learn and is ready to add that missing spark to his new family’s life today!

Tiny
Tiny stays perched off the floor of his kennel, curled up so tightly that he completely hides his handsome head. But through all the stress and uncertainty that this kind kitty has faced, Tiny has never once mustered the slightest hiss or raised his paw in fear. Tiny is only 2 years old and has the gentlest soul you will ever find. Ironically, he is a large, handsome cat who keeps his short, white and brown spotted coat well-groomed. His kennel stays so clean that you may not even notice a cat is residing inside. Tiny does prefer an extra litter pan available, but who doesn’t like to keep their bathrooms clean? Tiny had his front claws removed as a kitten so he will need to live indoors only; but worry not, for he has the best house manners around. Tiny is a remarkably loving and forgiving feline, who is longing to find a family who will love him just as unconditionally as he does, and give him time to settle into his new surroundings. Tiny deserves for his dreams to come true, and a forever family is all this wonderful cat desires.
