Pets of the Week April 14, 2014

Sophie
The name Sophia has meant “wisdom” to the Greeks for thousands of years, but this Sophie thinks you can be both wise and silly. This striking American Staffordshire Terrier mix has a standout brindle pattern mixed with pearly white patches and has a smile that just doesn’t stop. She is 3 years young and is at the top of her training class. At 63 lbs, of pure fun, she would love a house with a yard to run in and active family to enjoy living the good life with. Sophie prefers to be the center of attention and isn’t too fond of kitty cats, but she is a real charmer with older children and is a volunteer favorite to walk. Wise, and silly, beyond her years, Sophie is ready to share her wealth of fun with you!

Cleo
Sunrises are a true blessing that we get every day, and this beautiful feline captures them completely. Cleo is an oh-so friendly 2 year old, who spreads warmth where ever she goes. She practically puddles into the laps of visitors but will gladly take a break from a nap to play with toys! Cleo keeps her tabby coat gleaming in ruby hues and her eyes are perfect glittery gold. She is fond of children and does just fine with other polite pets. Calm, with a sunny disposition, she will fit right in to just about any home, and she keeps her spaces so clean and tidy that the indoor life will fit her fine. Now this little ray of sunshine is hoping for a blessing of her own – a loving home where she can shine like a star!

Pets of the Week April 7, 2014

Copper
He’s a dog-lover’s handsome Sir Galahad — a 60 lb. Retriever/Shepherd mix with manners so courtly he’ll stand tall, gaze into your eyes and give you a kiss, all with the utmost gentility. Gallant young Copper’s only 2, he’s smart, outgoing, attentive and cooperative; he’s great on a leash but would enjoy a yard, one filled with an active family who’ll admire his stately trot. Copper’s quickly learned to “sit” on request and works hard to keep his kennel clean, he’d love nothing more than to continue his training. Let Copper win your heart and devote himself to you today.

Amelia
Her well-made, neatly striped little body can hardly live up to her big, breathy purr; at one year old, darling Amelia’s a born lap cat, but cradle her in your arms and she’s equally pleased, the object of her affection is always you, despite getting along fine with other pets. Amelia was found stray, her lush fur and sunny disposition belie all stereotypes; she’d make a stellar choice for kids and a worthy companion for you. See how a forever-small sidekick can deliver immense friendship, Amelia’s waiting to appreciate you today.

Pets of the Week March 31, 2014

Betty
Good manners make great fun, and our year-and-a-half-young Boxer mix Betty is here to politely prove it. Throw her beloved tennis ball and LOL when she races back with it — she’ll sit (quivering with anticipation) until you throw again, and again, and again. Betty’s a gentle, exuberant athlete who knows how to give soft kisses and how NOT to mess in her pen, she appears to be housebroken. True to her breed background she’s destined to be your cherished family dog, a devoted playmate with a medium-sized body just right for hugging, thoroughly smitten with you and yours (she says “no thanks” to other pets.) See Betty have a blast without breaking etiquette, try to fit 2 tennis balls in her mouth and still smile, and fulfill every one of your faithful dog-daughter dreams.

Ezmerelda
She’s picture-perfect from a distance, an elegantly composed feline clad in long silky white hair with exquisite pastel orange on her face; but zoom in for more than a pet and a soft head butt and gorgeous 4-year-old Ezmerelda may object a little. Ezmerelda was found stray, she looks like a pampered house cat but would enjoy a little space — perhaps as your incredibly stylish barn-or-outside cat. (Of course she’ll always be available for her own Ezmerelda-style glide-by, complete with a contented purr as infinitesimal as her coat is sumptuous.) See this lovely cat-portrait come to life, and take dazzling Ezmerelda home to adore and adorn your home.

Pets of the Week March 24, 2014

Emma
Her sweet disposition is as classically appealing as her name — Black Lab/Hound mix “Emma” wants nothing more than to love and be loved by you, and a big yard to run (and sniff) in would also be oh-so-nice. Eight year old Emma’s too considerate to jump on you, she simply jumps for joy close to you and then gives a loving kiss; she enjoys other dogs, is great on a leash, and would form a mutual admiration society with your kids in 10 seconds flat. Emma would be a good as an inside pet with outside play space. She’s gentle but active, comes happily when called, and is so cooperative she’ll kennel herself on request. Genuine friendship awaits, the kind that stands the test of time; come meet a treasure named Emma.

Venus
She’s named for the Roman goddess of love and beauty, but big-kitten Venus is too busy playing, purring and snuggling to notice such fancy things; at 6 months young she’s the perfect age for your kids, full of mischief and merriment but not too fragile or boisterous for them to handle. Venus was found stray with her sister, her immaculate black and white coat makes it easy to live up to her namesake’s “beauty” and the “love” comes as naturally as breathing. Visit Venus at Petsmart today and leave the myth behind, make her warm face next to yours a real and lasting delight.

Pets of the Week March 17, 2014

Bradi
The clean white markings on her chest and feet make her “flashy” according to breed connoisseurs, but our beautiful fawn-colored Boxer mix Bradi’s too nice a girl for that term. At 2 years old and 61 lbs she’s a model of pure wholesomeness, and she epitomizes the bright energy and devotion to family her ancestors are known for. Visit Bradi and she’ll gallop to you gleefully when you call, stop short and lean in warmly, walk by you proudly on a leash, and bask quietly in mutual affection when you pick her up in your arms. Bradi would be a brilliant choice for your kids (she’s too gentle to “box”) and a lifelong joy for you; come see how exciting a nice girl’s love can be.

Desmond
He’s the understated “cool” we admire from near and far, a feline Steve McQueen who’s strong, quiet and self-reliant, clad in a buff and white coat that’s a dream in itself — and all at only 1 year old. Desmond was found stray, an outside cat with a natural attraction to humans; he’s relaxed and easygoing around other cats (confident types see no need to assert themselves), clean, handsome and as pleasing as he is low maintenance. Come see how tender a tough guy can be, and claim Desmond’s star quality friendship for your own.
