Pets of the Week April 28, 2014

Digger
Handsome year-old Hound mix Digger embodies all the true-blue loyalty and even disposition that make his breed an excellent pet, but the only thing he’s hunting is a family with hearts as big and amiable as his. At 60 lbs. and grown Digger’s full of gentlemanly energy — he’ll sit for a treat, walk proudly on a leash and even bark once in a while (we’ve never heard him bay.) Learning commands is one of Digger’s favorite pastimes, but his most joyful pursuit is simply being next to you. Digger needs a nice yard for running, and could live happily outdoors with snug living quarters and plenty of affection, which he’ll never stop returning. Sniff out the lifelong companion you deserve, Digger will pledge you his soul and never look back.

Myrna
Folklore says a Torti cat, or “money cat” like Myrna brings good luck; indeed this lovely 3-year-old will pay you in purrs, post-haste — from her midnight coat threaded with bright coppery gold, to her polite social demeanor, her cozy head butts and always-tidy box, she’s a treasure trove of pleasantries. Myrna gets along fine with other cats, keeps herself fastidiously clean (shouldn’t copper highlights gleam?), weighs only 8 lbs., and is so gentle she even takes medicine without a fuss; she’d be a delightful choice for your kids and could thrive inside/outside or inside only. Let Myrna rub you with her precious-metal markings, and revel in her wealth of affection forever.

Pets of the Week April 21, 2014

Fairy Princess
Her wings are not be easy to spot, but after you meet Fairy Princess she will most assuredly soar into your heart. Arriving at the shelter all alone, and heartworm positive, this 2 year old pup was in need of a major transformation. Her magical qualities shined through her struggles and she showed everyone that she was the friendliest Fairy around — adoring other dogs, friendly felines, and people of all ages. Princess wowed all again with her impeccable house manners, politely waiting to be let outdoors to potty. Clean and quiet, this shepherd mix’s short coat is easy to keep clean. Add in her medium frame and this little wonder fits perfectly into castles big and small. Her heartworm treatment almost complete, Fairy Princess is looking ahead to the next chapter in her story. Her happy ending is just waiting to be written by a loving family willing to make her a part of their home!

Dizzy
Plush as the most beloved Teddy Bear, with emerald green eyes and soft padded feet, Dizzy puts forth his best effort to fit perfectly into your heart. He has spent much of his 2 years outside, fending for himself, but this handsome feline has decided the housecat life is the one for him. Dizzy sports a short coat patched with black and white which he keeps spiffy and neat. His kennel stays just as clean and he’s more than happy to share it. Dizzy prefers company and cats, dogs, and people all do the job nicely! His personality reaches its peak when he’s sharing his time with others because toy mice are twice as nice if there is someone else playing along!

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.
