Pets of the Week November 25, 2013

Sable
Smiling 3-year-old “Sable” is an Australian Cattle dog mix, but when she was surrounded by kids at the recent Starbucks event all she herded was hearts! Now she’s at Camp Chinquapin, where she’s determined to live up to her breed’s ranking as one of the most intelligent and trainable dogs — she can already sit, lie down and speak for a treat. Sable’s been completely trustworthy in every setting, no heel-nipping in sight, just a happy, outgoing sidekick making friends with everyone, including other dogs. At 47 lbs. she’s just right for picking up and hugging — and she’s a favorite with dog-walking volunteers, too. The only outback Sable needs is a nice yard, and she prizes YOU over any cattle that come her way. Visit Sable at Camp Chinquapin and see how much loyalty’s bred into one shiny young girl, and how perfectly our little Aussie can complete your family.

Jess
Her nose is pure gold and her instant purr’s equally precious; 9-month-old calico “Jess” was found stray, a tri-color treasure (she has onyx and immaculate white markings, too) whose richest reward is being close to you. Hold her and she’ll relax in your arms, quiet but not a bit shy, a bright jewel of a friend who gets along fine with other cats, keeps a tidy box, and prizes your attention above all else. Gentle Jess would make an exquisite choice for kids and would thrive as your inside/outside pet; her only request is that you receive the wealth of affection she has to give. Visit Jess at Petsmart and see what 24 carat companionship feels like, then take Jess home and enjoy her forever.

Pets of the Week November 18, 2013

Bo
He’s a strapping young well-bred Boxer mix Southern boy, born with a best-friend temperament, natural manners that tell him not to potty in his pen, and a beaming smile as handsome as his sleek brindle-and-white coat. Two-year-old “Bo” was found stray and he hasn’t stopped wagging since, make him your own with a little training (he can already “sit” for a treat) and he’ll polish up perfectly as your treasured indoor/outdoor family member. See how well Bo’s proud heart matches yours, and make him the newest tradition in your home’s happy heritage.

Turtle
Except for coming gently out of her shell, our slightly shy, way-pretty 6-month-old diluted Calico girl doesn’t resemble her name — “Turtle” — one bit. (Who ever heard of a turtle who purred, anyway? Or one who’s ermine-soft, and gives you a kiss by rubbing her face on your hand?) Turtle was born on someone’s property and is still getting used to being held, but a more promising confidante you won’t find, especially one with such exquisite pastel coloring. Turtle’s easy to please and keeps a tidy box; she enjoys being indoors or out, gets along fine with other cats, and thinks people of all sizes are wonderful (she might run from loud little ones at first). She’s waiting to greet you with a slow, silky head-butt; see how quickly you’ll fall for a little girl named Turtle.

Pets of the Week November 11, 2013

Dusty
“Kiss and tell” isn’t his style, simply because 6-year-old Chihuahua/mix “Dusty” is too busy kissing you more; this ardent lover-boy’s a 4-legged fountain of affection — smiling, gentle, and willing to run back to you the moment you call his name. Dusty’s a loyal companion dog who’s playful and trustworthy with kids, as filled with devotion as he is with snuggles. (Size-wise he’s small not tiny; but his wag’s bigger than the rest of him, and his heart’s bigger still.) See how happily Dusty fits in your lap and your family, he’s neutered, micro-chipped and ready to love you forever, starting today.

Lola
She’s as delicate as a snowflake and as airy too; a 2 year old pristine-pretty white feather of a cat — tender, quiet, and giving — whose fondest dream is to be close to you. Lola was surrendered by her owner with one kitten, since adopted; now it’s her turn to find a new family to adore. Pick her up and you’ll see she’s just a slip of a girl herself; her longish hair disguises her feminine young form. She’d make an exquisite friend for your young ones and will keep your home as pleasing as she keeps her cage, (Lola should spend most of her time indoors to protect her pink ears from the sun.) See how much enduring love a fragile beauty can deliver; Lola’s here and destined to float softly into your heart.

Pets of the Week November 4, 2013

Honey
Our 2-year-old Hound/mix “Honey” is a natural cure for all that ails, a golden companion who’ll sit, shake and lie down for a treat, and a purely delightful playmate who thinks a tennis ball and tug-of-war are the bee’s knees. Gentle Honey was found stray, endowed with a refined spirit so impressive that calling her sweet’s an understatement; she’s clean, cooperative and gets along beautifully with other canines — kids too — and is ready to pour on affection as your forever family member. A teaspoon will never be enough of her immeasurable friendship, take Honey’s gleaming heart home today.

Cindy
She’s a tortoise shell cat extraordinaire, spun of silky gold and soft onyx, with a 24-carat heart that never stops showing how “into you” she really is. Six-year-old Cindy’s a pure extrovert — attentive, outgoing, fun-loving, and the finest of friend-makers; she’ll hop on your shoulder to snuggle and visit, and then shine her sparkling social spirit on other pets too. Cindy’s ready to grace you and yours with a wealth of affection. She’s already spayed and micro-chipped, set to start you off today with the loyal companionship you both so richly deserve. Go visit her at Petsmart and wonder how you ever lived without her.

Pets of the Week October 28, 2013

Silvia
Most dog friends will run to greet you; our shining young Lab/Border Collie mix Silvia literally prances — she prances to you, around you, and to retrieve the toy you throw; a year-and-a-half year old girl so ecstatic to see you she’s barely earth-bound. Silvia came to us homeless and skinny but now she’s vigorous in every way, with energy as nonstop as her affection. She’ll give you a kiss without losing her gorgeous pink and white smile, and hug you with attention, every minute. Silvia’s mind’s as keen as her social skills; she’s eager to learn and please, and she gets along easily with other dogs, too. See what serious frolicking is, then feel how sweet it is to play for keeps with a girl as bursting with heart and soul as Silvia.

Fiona
She’s a cat carved from alabaster, serene and statuesque, but then how can a sculpture be so warm and soft, and how can a soothing purr emerge the moment you touch it (her)? Our 2-year-old Fiona is more than a vision in pure white, she’s real and someone’s lost darling; a stunning beauty of a stray with delicate pink ears that know shelter from the sun, accustomed to being loved and admired, and confidently returning all the adoration she inspires. Pick her up and she’ll settle in your arms as if she’s known you forever, a perceptive friend and immediate ally, intelligent and refined, with manners that make others seems oafish. Go see Fiona — she’s waiting patiently at Petsmart — and see how quickly she comes alive when you meet her, and how happy her unblemished friendship makes you feel.
