Pets of the Week May 14, 2012


There’s no official breed listing of a Labra-Basset, but our charming Betty Boop’s here to challenge that — hers is indeed a rare breed of appeal, and of her many assets nothing shines brighter than her amiable, outgoing ways, not even the sheen on her beautiful black coat. One-year-old Betty Boop was returned to us because she grew too big, now she’s dazzling one and all with her fun, adoring, ever-so-social spirit; she’ll follow you anywhere with a smile, an instant friend-maker, patient and gentle, quick to roll on her back for a fine tummy rub, and beamingly happy to lie at your feet. Betty Boop shows infinite patience in our busy office, even cats who don’t like her can’t turn off her friendly, accepting approach, and she’s fine with other dogs too, even those not as beautiful as her intriguingly well-made self. Betty Boop’s destined to be a selfless, loyal and trustworthy companion for kids and a prized family member; she’s great on a leash and is waiting to walk with you into a future as happy as her ever-cheerful heart. Come meet a new form of love, the kind that’s pure Betty Boop, and see just how special her gleaming friendship can be.


Take her down from her window seat and she’ll reward you with a wealth of affection, but Molly’s a Tortoise-Shell cat after all, said to bring good luck and even some financial good fortune — look into her gorgeous tri-color face and you’ll see she’s a bonus calico, too, long-haired and stunning. At 4 years old Molly’s just a little slip of a thing underneath her opulent orange and black coat; she was turned in because of pet allergies, and now she’s determined to enrich her new family’s lives with her soft voice, tender head butts and fervent ankle rubs, all wrapped in a profusion of purrs. Molly’s gentle, social and attentive, and would make a wonderful companion for your young ones; she gets along fine with other cats and she’s a tidy little girl; her box is neat and her alabaster bib and paws are clean, feminine and carefully groomed. She’s been declawed and so must stay indoors. If you’re ready to treasure Molly as dearly as she’ll treasure you, come hold her and feel the sweet prosperity she’ll pour right into your heart.

Pets of the Week May 7, 2012


She’s so exquisitely housetrained the word “accident” isn’t in her vocabulary — but she demonstrates the true meaning of “genteel” with ease. Our smiling, social Chelsey’s an American Bulldog mix at 6 years old she’s a walking etiquette lesson, and she’ll teach you how sweetly genuine warmth and refined manners go together hand-in-paw. Chelsey was found stray in Bradley; whatever her early training she’s been socialized beautifully, and she celebrates the American Bulldog character in signature Chelsey style: she’s by-your-side social, confident and obedient, as clean and trustworthy at home as you are, a loving companion for your kids and a lovely playmate for other dogs, she’s fine with cats too, and oh yes, she adores leash-walking. Come meet the friendship delight of your life; her ladylike ways may remind you of Audrey Hepburn, but she doesn’t need breakfast at Tiffany’s at all; Chelsey only wants to be with you.

Scatter
How he came to be named “Scatter” is as mysterious as his Egyptian Abyssinian heritage — he’s certainly not scatter brained or sloppy either. In fact his trademark Abyssinian/mix intelligence is so pronounced he’s beyond box-trained; he always waits patiently til dark to use his litter box — hey, who says a handsome 2-year-old guy in his prime can’t be modest? You’ll see that he wears the distinctive brown ticked Abyssinian coat too, dense, silky, and more spotted than striped — and his big, gloriously green eyes are another breed trait. But more important than his coloring is that his purr-trigger lies just fingertip deep in his warm ticked fur; Scatter was turned in because his owner had personal problems, but his ability to love is still as quietly constant as the rest of him. He’s abundantly affectionate in his own easy-going way and a friend to all who meet him — he’s used to living with other cats, is accepting of dogs and has just the serene temperament to make him a wonderful first pet for your little ones. Scatter’s already neutered and can go home with you today, where he’ll balance his exotic ancestry with plain down home good manners; and if your litter box is in a private place he may even use it before nightfall, but he’s sure to spend the days loving you. Scatter’s ever-pleasing sense and sensibilities are waiting, come see him today.

Pets of the Week April 30, 2012


He’s a pure Chocolate Lab mix who loves water right down to his webbed feet — so much so that he sang when we turned on the hose, and earned his name “Radio.” But that’s just the first of this strikingly handsome 2-year-old’s bountiful assets; Radio loves to sit, shake and fetch on command, yes he’s already housetrained, and you and your kids will laugh with delight when he deftly catches a tennis ball in mid-air, as many times as you want to throw it. Radio jumped the fence at his previous home and now he’s here, the most popular, trainable and cooperative boy on the block; he gets along fine with other dogs, thinks walking on a leash is a blast, and is ready to roll his resplendent retriever heritage right into your home, where he’ll shower you with playful affection and lavishly innocent friendship. Come see what a chocolate Prince looks like, and let your heart listen to Radio’s joyous forever-song.


The Maine Coon is the second most popular cat breed in the US, and when you meet our magnificent Higgins and you’ll know the reasons why. He lives in a cloud of airy fur, but his intent is crystal clear — to intrigue you with every breed characteristic at his command, then help you revel in the pleasure of your friendship. Two year old Higgins was turned in by his owner with several other cats, and he displays his Maine Coon ways with panache — he’s outgoing, attentive and talkative, with a decidedly gentle disposition, keen intelligence you can see in his sensitive face, and the stately, flowing coat his ancestors have made famous. True to his heritage, he’s relaxed with other pets, full of affection for you and is destined to make a loyal, playful companion for your kids. But for all his exemplary traits, Higgins’ exquisite heart is his very own to give; and if you’re ready to return his passionately civilized kind of love, he’d like to become your Maine man. Come see.

Pets of the Week April 23, 2012


He’ll fetch your heart as gracefully as he races for a ball, and retrieve your dreams with a two-year-old’s tenderness, too! Scooby’s a gallantly wholesome mystery dog — a handsome Lab/Hound mix found stray, and the poor soul who lost him will miss him every day of forever. He’s the quintessential companion for you and your kids — athletic, love-driven and brimming with fun-loving vitality; he adores play and other dog playmates, and will make the perfect outside dog for the family who’ll return his eternal rush of affection and his big sweet kisses. Scooby’s ready to romp right into your life, and show you what loyalty means; come meet our black and white wonder boy and feel the first sweetness of a new lifelong-strong friendship.


His name’s Spanky, maybe in honor of his spankin’ clean white paws — but then his pure white bib and mouth are equally immaculate, so who knows. He’s in his prime, we figure he was 7 on his last birthday; he’s already neutered, healthy and well cared for, imminently social and quick to come when you call him. Spanky’s clearly someone’s dear lost pet, and he’s the perfect candidate for “All-Time Best Outdoor Cat.” He loves to be outside, happily guarding your doorstep and soaking up the rays, comforting and comfortable, just close enough to rub his kind affection on you at every opportunity. Spanky’s fine with other cats and dogs, and would be a fun, steadfast friend for your kids — and you too, of course, and probably and your neighbors. Take him home and let him work his quiet love magic on you and yours.

Pets of the Week April 16, 2012


Watch her run with the big dogs and you’ll see there’s nothing “small” about her — the word’s no measure for her pretty smile, her exuberant wag, her passionate kisses, her impressive people skills, or her massively affectionate, energetic heart. You see 2-year-old Amber’s a Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix, and she displays the extreme intelligence, fearlessness, athleticism, and the coloring the latter breed is known for — in full, fun loving dimension. Amber was turned in by her owner because she outwitted the backyard fence — she probably went looking for attention. (Hey, we told you she was smart and loving.) She’s almost housetrained, adores other dogs, is fine with cats, and would make an ideal, trustworthy companion for your kids; her capacity for play is as endless as her fascination with tennis balls, squeaky toys, and above all — you. Her short coat makes her as low maintenance as you’ll find, but your highest expectations are easily in her reach. Bring your heart to see Amber today, and together they’ll jump for joy.


His name’s Checkers and he plays for keeps; for if you can resist his game board mustache and his deep emerald eyes, you’re sure to fall for his warm, effusive head butts and his wondrous cat-commentary. But then losing yourself in the expansive charms of this supremely amusing 2-year-old is a win-win anyway. Checkers was given up, regretfully, by a lady with crippling arthritis — now he’s ready to devote his socially-adept young self to you and yours. Checkers is popular with everybody — cats, dogs, and kids alike; his manners are as resplendent as the rest of him, he’s gentle, tidy, polite, funny and endlessly affectionate. If you’re looking for a captivating friend who’ll king you in a minute, the next move is yours. Come take Checkers home today, and begin the love-match of a lifetime.
