Pet of the Week

February can bring on a big case of the “Winter Blues,” but fret not because Buddy Bear has enough warmth to keep the chill at bay. Buddy Bear has had his share of sad days; he has a sensitive spirit and the stress of life at an animal shelter can be hard, but this 1 year old pup refuses to give up. He’s growing happier and healthier every day, and this handsome retriever mix is ready to pay it forward to the family of his dreams. Buddy Bear is a big boy, who will need some extra living space to thrive. His short tan and sable coat seems to highlight the sunny disposition he has inside. Buddy Bear’s in need of a home with older children and experience raising canine family members so that he can flourish and continue to grow. He’s ready to get a fresh start this spring, and he’ll do his best to thank you with love that lasts a lifetime!

Daphne is dewy fresh, and downy soft. This feminine feline has charm for days, and she’s easy on the eyes as well. Daphne is cloaked in a shiny, short, black and white coat which she’ll gladly let you cuddle when you come to visit her. This 1 year old is a joy to be around and spreads that same warm and fuzzy feeling to other pets as well. Daphne is a great fit for families with children since she’s playful enough to romp around the house, but wise enough not to get too rough. She’s always up for a chat, and loves to meow at visitors while she shows off how clean she keeps her kennel and litter box. Even though Daphne is a complete package, she seems to know that an important piece is missing. Why have all this love to give, and no one to share it with? A forever home with a special family is all that’s left for Daphne to live the perfect life she was born to enjoy.

Ginger may be the cutest little firecracker you’re ever going to meet. She refuses to let the little “bumps” in life get in her way. She’s a Miniature Pinscher mix who has a bright and beaming attitude to match her shiny red coat. Ginger has picked up a few injuries over her 7 years of life, but nicked ears and leg limps give her extra character and for a dog her size, she has a long life to lead with a lucky family. Ginger loves to go on walks and visit new places, plus she does excellent on leash; she also does very well with other dogs, but she thinks cats are really fun to chase so she would do best in a home with no cats. Ginger has been a house pet before, and when she’s not prancing about trying to make you smile, her favorite place to be is in your lap. Let Ginger teach you to treat every challenge as a chance to shine, and come visit her today!

Far more than just a pretty face, Poptart is the perfect pick-me-up. This quiet and demure feline almost seems to blush when you look her way. Her short coat is caught somewhere in between Tabby and Calico, so she sports stripes and splashes of brown, orange, grey, and white. Her eyes glow emerald green and catch the attention of all new visitors. Poptart is a master muffin-maker, always pawing away with delight when people come to see her. It’s impossible to be worried or upset for long with this 1 year old kitty by your side. A few minutes of affection form this beautiful cat and all the stress of the day just melts away with the sound of her soft purr. Poptart is an easy-keeper with good litter box manners and a prim and clean nature. She could snuggle her way into any type of household and seems very fit to be an inside kitty cat. A visit with Poptart may be a great way to start your day, but the lucky family who gets to adopt this little lady has a lifetime of love to look forward to.
