Pets of the Week June 23, 2014

Nemo
His 24/7 pink and white smile is outshone only by his nonstop full-body wag; 3 year old American Pit Bull Terrier/Boxer mix Nemo is 40 lbs. of playful adoration, a gorgeous, fun-sized athlete with golden freckles as warm as his disposition. Nemo will “sit” for a treat, comes galloping when you call him, loves other dog friends (he’s even patient with puppies), walks proudly on a leash, thinks cats are fine and enjoys a nice pull toy too. He needs nothing more than a family to bask in his abiding affection, some training to show what a fast learner he is, and a yard where he can show off his chiseled form and boundless energy. Nemo’s neutered and ready to complete your life today, come claim his unfailing friendship.

Black Jack
Don’t bother to conjure the handsomest long-haired Tuxedo cat imaginable, one with a splendid coat, statuesque form, big fluffy white paws, eyes the color of Luna moths, a silent meow and a soft, loving purr — 5 year old Black Jack’s here, all 13 gentle, intelligent lbs. of him. Black Jack was his owner’s darling; he’s civilized, social, attentive, and always ready with a warm head butt. He gets along fine with other pets, keeps himself groomed beautifully and tends a tidy box, too. We picture him as part of a loving family with older kids, or becoming a seriously stylish sidekick to the devoted single who recognizes a dream companion come true. Black Jack was neutered long ago, make him yours today and see how ravishing reality can be.

Pets of the Week June 16, 2014

Buster
From the moment you meet him, 2-year-old Golden Retriever mix Buster’s magnificent breed background is abundantly clear — his lustrous auburn coat and patient ability to “sit” and “wait” before retrieving, the gentle, loving way he treats you, and even his penchant for jumping in our baby pool (the shelter doesn’t have a lake) all point to his distinguished family-dog ancestry. Buster’s full of good will — playful, intelligent, cooperative and a natural learner; he enjoys other dogs, is good on a leash, and would thrive in almost any home in which he receives the attention he so richly deserves. He’s brimming with health but is overweight, currently trimming down easily. Claim your glorious Golden boy; Buster promises to be the forever-champion of your heart.

Begonia
The lovely orange markings in her soft gray coat make her as pretty as the flower she’s named for, but her most lavish bloom by far is her BIG loving purr. Three-year-old Begonia comes happily when she’s called, she’ll lean in for a rub and settle down to keep you company; she gets along fine with other cats, keeps a tidy space, and adores everyone, your kids included. (Oops, except for dogs. Begonia’s anti-dog, she hasn’t told us why, but apparently it’s non-negotiable.) Begonia could live inside-only or inside/outside, as long as she can grace you with her BIG purr-love as often as possible. Go see Begonia at PetSmart today and feel how your heart blossoms.

Pets of the Week June 9, 2014

Charlene
You could call her an unpolished gem, but beautiful Black Lab/American Pit Bull mix Charlene’s so glossy she gleams; at one year and 41 pounds she’s done growing for sure, but her potential to become your well-trained family dog is as boundless as her energy. Charlene’s smile never stops; she’s great with other dogs, terrific on a leash, smart, attentive, athletic and yearning to be your sidekick. Charlene needs an active family or single with a big yard to run in, and plenty of loving attention which she’ll return a thousand fold. See what a 41lb jewel looks like, and take her home to treasure forever.

Pita
Six-year-old Snowshoe mix “Pita” comes delightfully endowed with traits his ancestors are prized for — pale blue eyes, a lavishly affectionate disposition and an intelligent, people-loving personality. But some things he’s missing — he’s been declawed, and his teeth are missing, too. (That’s right, no teeth. We think he was born that way, please just moisten his food or serve yummy canned fare, he has no trouble eating.) No matter, when he stands on his back feet to rub his lovely markings on you, gentle Pita will capture your heart completely. Pita must live inside; he’d enjoy a relaxed home without too many pets, where he could devote himself to you (and your kids) utterly. See how incomplete your life has been without him, Pita’s already neutered and ready to join you today.

Leash walking with this fella by your side is a joy and he never lets play time seem like a chore. This busy bee is ready to buzz into a loving home and help his forever family bloom into life this spring.

He may be a classic tabby, but his extraordinary personality is far from standard. This 3 year old feline is friendly and curious; always striving to be the center of attention.

Pets of the Week May 26, 2014

Lupin
Sink your fingers deep in his downy coat and you’d swear he was a big plush toy, but watch him bound away effortlessly only to come racing back and you’ll know it’s our jubilant athlete Lupin, a 2-year-old Shepherd mix heart throb who dedicates every ounce of himself to smiling, kissing, wagging and just plain idolizing you. Lupin’s smart, focused, personable, and good on a leash; his fondest wish is to win “best-trained dog” in your neighborhood,(not to mention “best looking.”) Lupin’s great with other canines and needs an active family who understands his young boy appetite for exercise. Come see Lupin’s joyful heart come to life when he meets you, he’s already neutered and ready to complete your life today.

Bella
She’ll dispel the myth that “outdoor cats don’t care” in the time it takes her to exclaim “meeee-you!” and reach through the cage to touch you; lovely one- year-old Bella’s as responsive as they come, but she adores being outside, as long as she has you nearby to rub and visit — and yes, she’ll come in for a while, too. (A lap cat she’s not, her affection is plentiful but she dispenses it in Bella-esque fashion, with lots of conversation, purring and head butting to keep things lively.) Bella keeps her orange stripes glowing and her creamy whites clean; she’d be a delightful friend for older kids who know not to grab her and grownups who appreciate her original brand of companionship. Bella’s spayed and ready to give you her own true warmth, take her home today.
