Pets of the Week August 13, 2012


Lets GO GO GO! Two-year-old Dottie is always as busy as a bee — a Blue Heeler and Siberian Husky bee, that is. Have a task that needs handled? Give it to Dottie. She’s an “alpha” dog all the way, liking to take charge and be the leader of the pack. However, her delightful personality shines best when she’s the only dog. Older children would be a perfect match for her because she’s full of playful energy and relishes frolicking in a big open yard. Come visit Dottie and, if she’s asked politely, she will demonstrate how she can “sit” and “shake” — two sure signs of her highly developed “smartitude.”


Zeppelin is a one-of-a-kind cat who will give you a whole lotta love leaving you dazed and confused. He’s no heartbreaker, but your time is gonna come and you’ll realize that he’s the cat for you. And that’s the way it’s gonna be. Through good times, bad times, Zeppelin will be your stairway to heaven. Zeppelin’s currently at Petco where he can be seen in the morning or in the evening. We won’t ramble on any more about how wonderful he is, but hey, hey what can he do to get you to bring him on home?

Pets of the Week August 6, 2012


He’s show ring impressive and pumped with pure charm; our small 2-year-old American Cocker Spaniel “Rosco” will quickly school you in all the reasons his breed has been one of our country’s most popular for decades. Rosco’s owners turned him in because they couldn’t give him the time he deserved; indeed like all Cockers he thrives on human attention — but that’s his greatest beauty. Rosco’s sensitive, affectionate, intelligent, and sociable; he enjoys a fine romp with his canine play group, and his kind, even temperament will endear him to your family. His eagerness to please makes him imminently trainable; he’s partially housetrained already, all he needs is your attention. Rosco’s neutered and ready to become your loyal, lifelong companion starting today. Come see how happily his stubby tail wags when you touch the silky curls on his ears; you’ll easily award Rosco “best of breed” in your home and your heart, too.


Her skinny jeans haven’t fit in a while, but this 6-years-young Calico Queen’s so abundantly pleasant it’s doesn’t matter anyway; after all, jeans aren’t made to fit your heart, and if they were they wouldn’t fit hers. Mrs. Butterworth was found in Ware Shoals with her sister and brother; all 3 are spayed/neutered, clearly loving pets who stuck closely together when they found themselves homeless. Her soulful face makes perfect use of her deep orange and black markings, and she keeps her white bib cleaner than clean. Mrs. Butterworth adores nothing more than a nice meow-chat and a lap as comfortable as she is, she’s healthy, gets along beautifully with kids and other pets, and she’ll happily devote herself to making your home even homier — you can take her with you today. Come see how much there is to love about Mrs. Butterworth, and how sweetly she’ll pour pure affection over you.

Pets of the Week July 30, 2012


Here’s a new way to cherish the liberty you prize — a gleaming Lady Liberty of your very own; she’s a gloriously good-looking Labrador/Pit Bull girl, 3 years old and endowed with a spirit that’s equally jubilant and cooperative. Liberty was turned in by her owner regretfully; she’ll romp in the yard, run back when you call her, sit on command, lie contentedly at your feet, then return to her kennel upon request — without ever losing her pretty smile. Liberty’s everything an all-American family dog should be — she adores kids, enjoys other dogs and is fine with cats; her first love is YOU and she’s happy to share. Liberty’s already spayed and ready to bring all the loyalty of her uncontained heart to your home today; come see the daughter who’ll forever join your pursuit of happiness.


In cat years he’d be a freshman, but instead of traditional orange our handsome, clean cut Clemson wears a dreamy-soft Creamsicle coat, and with his warmly social ways he’s more the dorm diplomat than a tiger any time. Clemson was found stray and already neutered — the fair haired cat-child of some unlucky family, a slender young man with a long, chiseled face, and manners most parents only dream about. At 3 years old he’s already learned how to get along gracefully with everyone — cats, dogs and humans alike; his courteous, affectionate attitude comes complete with a quiet purr, the better to safeguard your friendship, which he holds in high esteem. Come see how his picture fails to capture his pleasingly delicate markings and the intelligence in his eyes, and how exciting it is to embark on a future with your devoted new boyfriend, Clemson.

Pets of the Week July 23, 2012


If patience is a virtue then 3-year-old Cheeto’s a shiny chocolate saint; he recently visited Petco where he disported himself with aplomb; the crowd adored him, and he was just as smitten with them. How this graceful Labrador/American Staffordshire prince turned into a “stray” is a mystery; he welcomes a good romp with his dog playgroup, and his constant wag only gets happier around kids. Cheeto’s naturally too well-mannered to jump on you, he loves a leash and his housetraining shows promise. All he needs is a little time and attention to be perfectly polished; his penchant for pig’s ears and his cooperative spirit will make training him your most fun — and fulfilling — family project yet. Come look into the eyes of utter devotion; Cheeto’s ready to give you every minute of his fine future.


He’s built like a brick litter box, with a muscular physique that lives up to his powerful name — Capone. But this young man’s personality’s as tender as his name is tough; he’d rather snuggle-rub his airy orange fur on you than pick even the smallest fight, and the only place he rides shotgun’s on your shoulder. Handsome Capone was found stray, alone with no one to talk to, and for a warmly social gentleman like him that was a bore. Now he’s here waiting for you, purring along fine with other cats, dogs too — and showing everyone how clean a white chin should be, and how masculine it is to be tidy. Capone’s happy to be your inside/outside cat as long as you’re in kissing distance, the only gang this gangster wants is your family, and the only crime he’ll ever commit is stealing your heart. Come feel the exquisite companionship of a cat-boy named Capone.

Pets of the Week July 16, 2012


Her name’s the Italian word for “beautiful” and lap-sized Chihuahua mix Bella lives up to it and more; one look and you’ll see that her face is exquisitely sensitive, and unlike many of her breed, she’s as calm as a cameo. Her owner gave her up because of financial troubles, but 2-year-old Bella’s rich in social graces; she loves everyone, from little kids on up, and she adores the company of other canines. Playtime’s fun time for Bella, she’ll race with the big dogs, then happily run back to you for the ecstasy of your arms. Bella’s heartworm positive but it is very treatable, and she’s working on her housetraining; you’ll see her eagerness to learn written clearly in her eyes the first time you meet her. Don’t wait to take Bella into your life; she’ll show you how low-maintenance a great love can be, and how easily her gentle-strong affection translates into your family’s dream.


Her temperament’s as spotless as the rest of her is spotted; for our declawed Calico Tabby Aubrey is sweetness personified, and her magnificent tiger coat’s covered with beautiful reddish-brown markings, in and between her fine stripes. Some might even call this lovely 2 year old “shy,” but her loving nature’s so pure it beams your way easily, transported by her soft purr and tender head butts. Aubrey’s owner moved and left her with us, now she wants to be your inside cat, and she’s prepared to show you how clean and congenial a young girl can be. Aubrey’s gets along fine with other pets, and her gentle nature makes her an impeccable choice for kids; trust her to demonstrate what loving kindness is all about, and how fun nice manners are, too — especially woven into a warmly affectionate friendship. Come hold Aubrey’s gracious beauty in your arms, then take her home and enjoy her steadfast heart forever.
