Pets of the Week August 19, 2013

Leroy
He loves to rest his head on your shoulder and gaze at you with his beautiful, intelligent eyes — one brown, one blue — both equally tranquil in his closeness to you, quietly illustrating all the integrity American Pit Bull Terriers are prized for. At 3 years old, 45 lb. Leroy’s full grown and delightfully handsome, his smile never fades, and he’s destined to be a superlative family dog. Leroy’s so well-mannered he even plays politely, and so cooperative he’ll kennel himself on request. His eager-to-learn attitude’s all about pleasing you; he already conscientiously potties outside his box and is well on his way to house-trained. See how calmly Leroy will hang in your arms, relaxing in your embrace because that’s where he belongs, and what a perfect match he can be for you and yours.

Ariel
Her meow’s so melodic you’d think she was the Little Mermaid herself, but 18 month old “Ariel” has a pristine, pure-white coat that’s softer than any Disney character ever could be — and her purr’s as harmonious as her gentle personality. Ariel was found stray, an exquisitely mannered young lady cat who lives to be held; her pink ears are so fragile she’ll need to stay indoors with you to avoid sunburn, but one sing-song greeting from this captivating companion and you wouldn’t have it any other way. Ariel’s refined ways make her a lovely choice for kids — she’ll sparkle patiently in their arms. Go to PetSmart today and hear Ariel’s glorious friendship-song for yourself, then take her home to hear it forever.

Pets of the Week August 12, 2013

Sprocket
Call him and picturesque 4-year-old “Sprocket” will come flying to deliver all the reasons Beagles have remained one of the most popular American dogs for decades. Sprocket is 25 pounds of rollicking fun and pure friendship, with the even temperament and gentle disposition the breed is known for; hold him like a baby and he exudes armfuls of affection, put him down and he’s off with his playgroup, silky ears plastered back by his own breeze, as adored by other dogs as he is by you, and so cooperative he’ll kennel himself when playtime’s over. (Sprocket’s such an endearing achiever he even has ticking where his white would be, as if normal tricolor wasn’t quite special enough.) He’d make a classic match for your kids and an entertaining outlet for the kid in you. See all the heart in Sprocket’s singular smile, and meet your very own beloved Beagle today.

Tillman
He purrs and plays with a black satin passion all his own; 4-month-old Tillman’s all boy and all crazy for you, but when he’s done nuzzling your neck with his silky face, he’ll find ecstasy in a jingle ball — at least until it’s time to snuggle again. Tillman keeps a tidy space for a kid his age, loves a great cat-playmate, and would make a delightful companion for anyone, young or old, who enjoys feeling like the most special person in the world. Hear how big a boom-purr little Tillman can make, and how colorfully devoted a pure-black little boy can be to you and yours.

Pets of the Week August 5, 2013

Princess
She personifies all that’s regal in her breed — our 2-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier mix “Princess” epitomizes Blue Pit beauty; some lost but loving owner recognized her exquisite genes and gave her the early socialization she needed; now all her grace is yours to enjoy. Princess will sit, race to retrieve her tennis ball, release it gently into your hand, give you a smiling kiss, and kennel herself; all because you asked her to, and pleasing you is her life’s joy. Princess is strong, athletic, intelligent and respectful; she wowed the crowd at our recent Petsmart event, her generous affection reached kids, dogs and grownups alike. Her blue and champagne coat’s so short you’d swear she couldn’t shed, and she waits patiently to potty outside her pen, as any well-bred lady should. See how sweetly a young daughter-dog can reign over your heart, and how proud you’ll feel to show Princess off as one of your fine family.

Allie
Her whites are whiter and her orange more luscious — but forget the laundry, we’re talking about Allie, a pristine purr-fest of a 2-year-old girl, silky-slender and calm as can be, the kind of warm friend who never gets rattled and always keeps you centered. At the Adoption Center, Allie was in the big cage with multiple roommates and she got along just fine, her cheerful outlook’s catching, she seems to glide on her own indelible optimism. (Allie’d be a lovely choice for kids, or anyone who prizes a patient, affectionate, 9-pound companion who loves to be held.) Allie’s already spayed and waiting to meet you at Petsmart; take her out of her tidy condo and hear what she has to say, then take her home where her true colors will always be as bright and pleasant as they are right now.

Pets of the Week July 29, 2013

Reuben
A social butterfly, diplomat, or life of the party — all those descriptions fit Reuben to a “T.” He’s a Plott Hound/Terrier mix whose amber-flecked brindle coat literally glows in the sunlight. He enjoys the company of other dogs and people of all ages, shapes and sizes, for his love does not discriminate. Reuben is around two to three-years-old, but since he was a lost dog brought to the Animal Shelter, there’s no known history on this sweet guy. He is ready to start a new life and wants to share it with a loving family or individual who will

Rosalie
The name “Rosalie” originates from the French for “rose garden” and this precious feline could not be more perfectly named. She evidently wandered from her home, was eventually found by a citizen, and brought to the Animal Shelter where just two days later she gave birth to two kittens. Each of them has been adopted and now Rosalie is hoping for the same good fortune her babies had. Her quiet coloring — diluted Calico markings blended with Tabby stripes — matches her calm personality. And just like a rose garden she offers you beauty, tranquility, and joy, but most importantly, an unconditional love that only she can give. Rosalie can be visited at Petsmart in Greenwood.

Pets of the Week July 22, 2013

Luke
A “turn-key” dog if ever there was one! This two-year-old, black-and-white Border Collie/Lab mix, with copper-colored eyes, has all the best traits of each breed. He’s a quick learning, family loving, well-mannered Camp Good Dog graduate who scored top honors in every activity. Luke walks impeccably on a leash and is trained to sit and lie down. If you’re looking for a great indoor/outdoor, cat and kid friendly, family dog to be your walking buddy or your living room companion, Luke has those qualifications and more! Visit him at Camp Chinquapin for Critters at 115 Old Abbeville Hwy in Greenwood.

Carmel
Carmel is so-named because of the swirling honey, tan, and golden colors in her coat that make her look like the creamy candy treat. And it goes without saying that her personality is just as sugary sweet. This six-month-old mellow yellow kitty is exactly what the doctor ordered for anyone wanting a deliciously affectionate feline companion. You can visit Carmel at Petsmart located at 201 Hospitality Blvd. in Greenwood.
