Pets of the Week October 21, 2013

Andy
He’s a medium-sized Shepherd/mix who loves large, with a personality as vibrant as the warm red in his coat; 2-year-old Andy’s so chock full of fun he can hardly contain himself, and all because he’s near you. He’s so energetic he fairly flies around the yard, but he’ll come to you in an instant, a lapdog wanna-be who adores tug-of-war, full of kisses no matter who wins. Andy’s fine with other dogs and would make a magnificent friend for bigger kids, he needs a yard to run in and a family or single who’ll return every ounce of his attention. See how boring your life’s been until now; Andy will bowl you over with joy, take your heart for a spin, and lay it happily at your feet.

Newby
Someone dropped her over the shelter fence during the night, and suddenly she was the new kid in the outdoor cat colony, a little gray and white kitten, pristinely beautiful and angora-soft, dubbed “Newbie” for her dramatic entry. At 5 months she’s thriving, 2 handfuls of cozy — with a ready purr as silky as the rest of her. Newbie knows how to get along just fine with other cats, she’s OK with dogs, and she keeps her box nice too, but her true calling is gracing you and your home with her ardent appreciation. Meet an exquisite young girl who’ll never let her love for you grow old; Newbie’s here, and she’ll cast her spell completely.

Pets of the Week October 14, 2013

Jack
He’s a gentleman’s gentleman of a black Lab/mix, 2 years old and Cabela’s catalogue-handsome — so cooperative he’ll kennel himself, and so mannerly his webbed feet will never touch your chest. Jack Diddly was found stray; he’s warm, well-socialized, calmer than most Labs — and quieter, too. Turn him out in the yard and watch him gracefully cover ground, a strong young athlete eager to play with other dogs; or put a leash on him and he’ll proudly walk by your side, wagging his enthusiasm. Jack Diddly could thrive as a well-loved outside dog, but he’s relaxed enough to live inside too; surround him with kids, other pets, or just your own friend-seeking heart. Your pure-loyal classic lab Jack Diddly’s waiting, come meet him today.

Chase
His milk moustache is just the first of his charms; our ever-social 10 month old “Chase” is determined to outdo other purveyors of purrs in every way possible. He’ll greet you with a “Me-me-me-me-ow,” stand on his hind legs and reach up delicately with an appealing paw, insinuate himself into your life with a fervent chin-push, and settle in your lap with a rib-rocking (yours and his) purr, relaxed but always ready to help you turn the pages of your Kindle. Chase keeps a litter box as tidy as his name and appreciates other felines, but his most avid involvement is with you; he’d make a blast of an inside/outside cat, one who’s available to lavish you with attention at a moment’s notice. Come feel the tickle of Chase’s immaculate moustache and see how much entertainment can be packed into an ever-small tabby-friend, Chase is already chipped and neutered, take him home with you today.

Pets of the Week October 7, 2013

Brody
His name is derived from the Gaelic term for “brother,” and Brody is indeed filled with brotherly love for everyone. He’s a stately Black Lab and Shepherd mix who was found stray at Petsmart. While at the shelter he has been a model resident setting the example of how to be a gentleman. His coffee brown eyes will stare a hole in your heart and you’ll swear he can see your soul and his laid-back personality is therapy for those people who need less stress in their lives. Come meet this considerate, kindly man dog and let him show you unconditional love.

Mikey
Mikey is more of an experience than a cat to write about. The dribble of black down his nose and mouth resemble a Rorshach inkblot test which tells you how mesmerizing this 6-month old lank of playful energy is. He exudes a confidence that asserts, “You’ll love me. Everyone does.” Mikey’s full of flirtatious affection, he loves to be held, and is the life of the party with other cats. If he was human he’d be that jester party guest who sports a lampshade to liven things up. Visit Mikey at Petsmart and be entertained by his lively antics and captivated by his amorous spirit.

Pets of the Week September 30, 2013

Jazzy
This one’s the “It Girl” — our darling year-and-a-half year old English Bulldog/mix “Jazzy” is wild and always wildly popular; at Petsmart’s recent adoption event she was thronged by kids, grownups and other dogs, and formed graceful friendships all around. At 34 lbs. Jazzy’s a perfectly huggable medium size, she’s intelligent, loyal, gentle and personable, with a playful side that will make your smile as happy as hers. Jazzy’s great on a leash but would love a yard to run in; she adores squeaky toys, keeps herself squeaky clean, and loves trading kisses. Meet the fair-haired companion who’ll show you what “convivial” means; Jazzy’s destined to be the star of your heart and home.

Mimosa
She’s sweetly orange and delightfully effervescent, a 6 month old bundle of attentive affection who’ll pour on her purr in an instant; but like her namesake drink, our giddy “Mimosa” can pack a tiny punch, she loves to play, but sometimes plays too hard to be handled by small children. Mimosa was found stray when she was only weeks old; she gets along fine with other cats and has ever-so-civilized box manners. We picture her as a devoted inside/outside cat, with a family to love and room to run off her bubbly energy. Drink in the pleasure of Mimosa’s soft, funny friendship, and see how much sparkle she brings to your fine home.

Pets of the Week September 23, 2013

Kinsley
She’s currently at Camp Chinquapin, a 5-year-old dream student, training to become your ideal family dog. Beagle/Border Collie mix “Kinsley” is 33 lbs. of calm devotion; she displays only the most appealing aspects of her breed backgrounds, and is destined to win “best in class” for exemplary manners — she appears to be housetrained, too. Some lost family has socialized Kinsley beautifully; she’s amiable, intelligent, attentive, and gently outgoing, an immediate, trustworthy friend to kids and other dogs, who enjoy leash- walking and think cats are just fine. Kinsley’s brimming with civility; her diplomacy skills are A+, and she gets high marks in kissing, too. Go see how much heart her tender spirit has in store, and learn how you’ve needed her all along.

EllaB
She’s a 2-year-old diluted Calico whose opinions are charmingly full strength: Ella will rub on you affectionately but dislikes to be held, adores a great conversation but wants you to do all the listening, and thinks being inside’s a bore altogether — outside’s where she’s happy, and she’ll bang on her hatch to prove it. Pretty Ella was found stray, we think she’s a country girl at heart; she’ll thrive as an outside cat who can enjoy her space, return home, talk a blue streak and punctuate her prose with a nice pet. Meet the funny outdoor cat who never stops giving her viewpoint, and see how wishy-washy other friends seem next to the definitive fellowship of Ella.
