Pets of the Week April 30, 2012


He’s a pure Chocolate Lab mix who loves water right down to his webbed feet — so much so that he sang when we turned on the hose, and earned his name “Radio.” But that’s just the first of this strikingly handsome 2-year-old’s bountiful assets; Radio loves to sit, shake and fetch on command, yes he’s already housetrained, and you and your kids will laugh with delight when he deftly catches a tennis ball in mid-air, as many times as you want to throw it. Radio jumped the fence at his previous home and now he’s here, the most popular, trainable and cooperative boy on the block; he gets along fine with other dogs, thinks walking on a leash is a blast, and is ready to roll his resplendent retriever heritage right into your home, where he’ll shower you with playful affection and lavishly innocent friendship. Come see what a chocolate Prince looks like, and let your heart listen to Radio’s joyous forever-song.


The Maine Coon is the second most popular cat breed in the US, and when you meet our magnificent Higgins and you’ll know the reasons why. He lives in a cloud of airy fur, but his intent is crystal clear — to intrigue you with every breed characteristic at his command, then help you revel in the pleasure of your friendship. Two year old Higgins was turned in by his owner with several other cats, and he displays his Maine Coon ways with panache — he’s outgoing, attentive and talkative, with a decidedly gentle disposition, keen intelligence you can see in his sensitive face, and the stately, flowing coat his ancestors have made famous. True to his heritage, he’s relaxed with other pets, full of affection for you and is destined to make a loyal, playful companion for your kids. But for all his exemplary traits, Higgins’ exquisite heart is his very own to give; and if you’re ready to return his passionately civilized kind of love, he’d like to become your Maine man. Come see.

He’ll fetch your heart as gracefully as he races for a ball, and retrieve your dreams with a two-year-old’s tenderness, too! Scooby’s a gallantly wholesome mystery dog — a handsome Lab/Hound mix found stray, and the poor soul who lost him will miss him every day of forever. He’s the quintessential companion for you and your kids — athletic, love-driven and brimming with fun-loving vitality; he adores play and other dog playmates, and will make the perfect outside dog for the family who’ll return his eternal rush of affection and his big sweet kisses. Scooby’s ready to romp right into your life, and show you what loyalty means; come meet our black and white wonder boy and feel the first sweetness of a new lifelong-strong friendship.


His name’s Spanky, maybe in honor of his spankin’ clean white paws — but then his pure white bib and mouth are equally immaculate, so who knows. He’s in his prime, we figure he was 7 on his last birthday; he’s already neutered, healthy and well cared for, imminently social and quick to come when you call him. Spanky’s clearly someone’s dear lost pet, and he’s the perfect candidate for “All-Time Best Outdoor Cat.” He loves to be outside, happily guarding your doorstep and soaking up the rays, comforting and comfortable, just close enough to rub his kind affection on you at every opportunity. Spanky’s fine with other cats and dogs, and would be a fun, steadfast friend for your kids — and you too, of course, and probably and your neighbors. Take him home and let him work his quiet love magic on you and yours.

Pets of the Week April 16, 2012


Watch her run with the big dogs and you’ll see there’s nothing “small” about her — the word’s no measure for her pretty smile, her exuberant wag, her passionate kisses, her impressive people skills, or her massively affectionate, energetic heart. You see 2-year-old Amber’s a Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix, and she displays the extreme intelligence, fearlessness, athleticism, and the coloring the latter breed is known for — in full, fun loving dimension. Amber was turned in by her owner because she outwitted the backyard fence — she probably went looking for attention. (Hey, we told you she was smart and loving.) She’s almost housetrained, adores other dogs, is fine with cats, and would make an ideal, trustworthy companion for your kids; her capacity for play is as endless as her fascination with tennis balls, squeaky toys, and above all — you. Her short coat makes her as low maintenance as you’ll find, but your highest expectations are easily in her reach. Bring your heart to see Amber today, and together they’ll jump for joy.


His name’s Checkers and he plays for keeps; for if you can resist his game board mustache and his deep emerald eyes, you’re sure to fall for his warm, effusive head butts and his wondrous cat-commentary. But then losing yourself in the expansive charms of this supremely amusing 2-year-old is a win-win anyway. Checkers was given up, regretfully, by a lady with crippling arthritis — now he’s ready to devote his socially-adept young self to you and yours. Checkers is popular with everybody — cats, dogs, and kids alike; his manners are as resplendent as the rest of him, he’s gentle, tidy, polite, funny and endlessly affectionate. If you’re looking for a captivating friend who’ll king you in a minute, the next move is yours. Come take Checkers home today, and begin the love-match of a lifetime.

Pets of the Week April 9, 2012


Sure he’s housetrained — he’s a gentleman after all — obedient and ultra-responsive, a trainer’s dream and a family’s lifelong treasure; the only thing wild about him is his popularity with kids and dogs, large and small. Memphis is a modestly-sized, glossy brown terrier/mix whiz-pet whose previous owner couldn’t give him the time he deserved; an instant friend-maker with who comes immediately when you call him, eager to kiss you and get a hug in return — he adores treats too. Memphis can already “sit,” but he yearns to learn more, his potential’s as unlimited as his love and acceptance of others, cats included. Low-maintenance Memphis gives eons more than he demands, and would gladly be your inside/outside dog. Come touch his silky ears and see how easily Memphis will grace your life; he’s this century’s bargain of the heart, and more.


The Maine Coon cat is the second most popular breed in the U.S. — the legendary descendent of an English Seafarer’s felines; how this magnificent young dream boat of a Maine Coon mix came to land stray in Ninety Six is a mystery, but Simba exemplifies the appeal of his breed in every aspect. At almost a year old he’s as soft as sea foam, two handfuls of long, frothy fur — with a talking voice and purr as silky as the rest of him, and the gentle, affectionate intelligence that makes the Maine Coon famous. He’s destined to be a playful, attentive companion throughout his life — another Maine coon trait — and is the consummate choice for a child’s cat, or anyone who appreciates a love as constant and tender as the stars. Civilized Simba gets along amiably with other cats and dogs, and keeps his box ship-shape, of course. If you’ve been searching for the perfect port in every storm, there’s no finer transport to happiness than Simba. Come see.

She rolls on her back submissively and smiles her heavenly smile when you rub her chest, showing you the flip side of her American Staffordshire image — tender, vulnerable, and as love-seeking as a young child. But then Rosary is indeed just a 2-year-old herself; a beautiful, healthy brindle and white young girl found stray, and a perfect candidate for adoption as a gentle, wholesome family dog. Rosary’s dream of paradise includes kids to play with and parents to bond with, she’ll stay by your side forever and a day, a divine companion with an eternal tail wag. She’s semi-housetrained already and good on a leash, her eagerness to please makes her a pleasure to train. Cats are fine with Rosary; please test her with your dog — wanting all your attention is her only flaw. If you value everlasting loyalty and infinite friendship, Rosary will give you her heart and soul — and all her smiling happiness, too.


“Buff” describes her delightfully soft orange color — but also the way she rubs her tiny cheek against yours to polish your cares away. Six-month-old Nym is smart, petite, playful and attentive, a charming stray from Ninety-Six, complete with her own white eyeliner, who likes other cats and thinks humans are fun and fascinating. Come see how special you feel when pretty Nym takes her very own shine to you.
