Pet of the Week

Steel yourself for the blue-gray beauty of our exquisite American Staffordshire mix Marion; at 2 years old and only 48 lbs., she’s as ladylike inside as her chiseled Grace Kelly face — but when she breezes by to retrieve the last toy you threw, you’ll see that her passion for playtime is probably her greatest appeal. Marion was found stray, complete with manners so refined she’s too polite to shed; she’s calm in her kennel, affectionate and attentive when you let her out. Her love of a treat, avid intelligence and cooperative spirit make her achingly trainable — she already walks proudly on a leash and sits on command. We’re certain Marion will blossom in any size home with access to outdoor play space; bigger kids are perfect pals, she likes to choose her dog playmates and kindly requests “no cats.” See how pleasingly the clean cool of Marion’s gleaming coat belies her ardent warmth; you’ll meet the truest-blue companion you’ll ever find.

She’s a cat for all seasons — at least those in which a constant friend with an abundant, instant purr is welcome, one whose bounty is her full devotion to you. Pretty Autumn was turned in by her owner, an airy-soft, intelligent and warmly social 3 year old with a personality more colorful than her name; she comes when you call her, always ready for an entertaining meow-chat, or even a serious conversation about world events. Her concern and affection are endless, “Talk-rub-talk-rub-talk-rub” is her mantra, and she wants you all to herself, too. (Autumn would be a wonderful, gentle choice for children, but sharing you with other cats is beneath her.) When you tire of visiting she’s just as thrilled to curl up in your lap so you can admire her myriad markings; her coat’s immaculate and she’s already spayed and micro chipped, ready to go home with you today to prove just how delightfully opposite-of-aloof a cat can be. See what a genuine BFF feels like; and how much fun it is to have your very own Autumn.

Honor his intelligence and independence — proud hallmarks of his sled dog ancestry — and our majestic young almond-colored Siberian Husky/Shar-Pei mix Chevy can become the show dog of your heart and home. True to his background, one-year-old Chevy’s athletic, confident and naturally well-behaved, full of amiable energy and the potential to become a stellar family dog. He was found stray; perhaps his previous owners didn’t give him both the focused attention and the room to run he needs. Chevy’s good on a leash and already partially house trained; his heart’s as big and playful as the rest of him. We recommend an inside/outside environment for Chevy, one filled with mutual devotion. Meet the stuff that legends are made of; our legend’s name is “Chevy.”

She’s a tortoise shell cat extraordinaire, spun of silky gold and soft onyx, with a 24-carat heart that never stops showing how “into you” she really is. Five-year-old Cindy’s a pure extrovert — attentive, outgoing, fun-loving, and the finest of friend-makers; she’ll hop on your shoulder to snuggle and visit, and then shine her sparkling social spirit on other pets too. (In fact Cindy comes from a home where she befriended a Rottweiler, don’t big dogs need buddies?). Cindy’s owner could no longer care for her, too many pets; now she’s ready to grace you and yours with a wealth of affection. Cindy’s already spayed and micro-chipped, set to start your New Year off today with the loyal companionship you both so richly deserve. Visit and wonder how you ever lived without her.

You’ll think her kennel’s a kissing booth, but her constant affection isn’t for sale; it’s a gift from the 100% tender heart of this demure less-than-two year old American Pit Bull mix “Sadie,” a tan and white beauty so sociable she’s yet to meet anyone — dog or human, young or old — she doesn’t instantly enjoy. Playful Sadie was found stray in Ninety Six; at 52 lbs. she’s full grown and destined to be an imminently stylish family dog. Sadie knows that pretty is as pretty does; she loves to learn, and your praise plus a treat are all it takes to train her, her quick mind and listening heart will revel in your attention — she already walks proudly on a leash and she’s working on her house-training. Feel Sadie rub her velvety muzzle in your hand, her lifetime of devotion is yours to have and to hold; make her your joy today.

He’s a mythic cat-creature of epic proportions, a cross between a panda and a fullback — 19 lbs. of strong, warm and handsome, with an exquisite face, an 8 cylinder-purr and umpteen good-natured head butts — all for you. Felix is a friendship phenom, orphaned by death and illness; he’s here sporting a dapper new lion-cut, and his own outgoing nature, as amiably expansive as his ever-impressive build. Felix will come when you all him, kitten-cozy for all his weighty company; he gets along fine with other cats and dogs, is immaculate in his person and box-keeping, and he enjoys talking, too. Come watch Felix make big imaginary biscuits with his immense, gentle paws; then take this delightfully distinguished companion home forever, to share a giant happiness.

He’s a soon-to-be-polished black diamond in the rough — Camp Chinquapin bound and armed with a superlatively cooperative spirit, a friend-winning outlook and the determination to improve his already high marks in house-training. At less than two years old, our shining Lab mix Frodo will school you in all things considerate; he adores kids, walking proudly by your side on a leash, playing kindly with his canine pals and even returning to his kennel when asked. (For extra credit he gives kisses.) Frodo was turned in by his owners; they couldn’t give him the attention he deserved. Now he’s set to master every last asset needed to become a champion family dog, his heroic heart was born an A+. Frodo’s already neutered and ready to go home, where he’ll make you a lifelong student of reverent friendship and everyday fun.

She’s a politely diminutive tiger girl, full grown at one year and delightfully petite, so refined she’ll play you a Mozart Minuet with her purr, and so loving her dainty head butts will impress a lasting warm spot on your heart. One-year-old “Lace” was found stray, as ladylike as her name from the first. (Kindly forgive her expression, Lace is too modest for picture-taking; in person you’ll see how lovely she is, with soft dabs of color interspersed in her stripes, and a perfect white chin, too). Lace keeps a fine, tidy cage and enjoys other cats — but her lyrical conversation is devoted solely to you; her loyal support and strong but courteous snuggle ethic will comfort you constantly. Meet a cozy bastion of civility named Lace, and feel the sweet cadence of newfound friendship begin today.

American Bulldog enthusiasts praise her breed as “loyal, reliable, alert and self-confident, with a genuine love for children,” and indeed lovely Charlotte fulfills each of these definitive traits, in her own sublimely beautiful way. At a little over a year old she’s an immaculate example of family dog talent; she’ll romp the yard, toss a ball, and race lovingly for you when called; she’s impressively sensitive to little ones, her smile never leaves when she’s leash-walking, and she shows absolute promise on her house-training. (Cats? No thanks.) Charlotte was found stray, a painful loss for someone else but the find of dog-loving lifetime for you. Her pure devotion is ready and waiting, come claim your classic American prize.

If you assume a cat named “Mouse” would be a quiet, drab-gray individual, with a tendency to scuttle through mazes and nibble cheese, think again: our Mouse is a lustrous ebony gentleman with a fine alto purr, an infinitely polite 2-year-old who asks properly for his food — and the only maze that interests him is the one that connects your ankles, lap, hands and chin endlessly, a puzzle of his own invention and his favorite place to be. Mouse was found stray, apparently just out of feline finishing school; he turns his head under warmly when you pet him, offering all his tender places to your touch; he’s gently playful, full grown but modestly sized, enjoys going out so he can come back in, and would make a magnificent choice for a child or anyone who appreciates how lovingly refined a cat companion can be. Begin your sumptuous new friendship today, just ask for a man named Mouse.
