Pet of the Week

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.

She was found walking down a road with a shock collar embedded in her neck, but you wouldn’t know it now; our ladylike Beagle Shona’s so well healed she’ll show you her playful side, and she’s the epitome of civilized — perfectly housetrained, quiet and tranquilly affectionate, she’ll lie at your feet lovingly, and shadow you into the next room, too. At 8-healthy-years-old Shona still has puppy dog eyes, and they see nothing but companionship; she’s instant buddies with every dog and cat she meets, she’s proud to leash-walk with you and her resplendent heart will show you loyalty as you’ve never seen it before. Come meet your new sidekick Shona, and see how much everyday fun a phenomenal friend can bring.

His interest in you is as perfect as the circle on his side — the one formed by his handsome wide stripes, come see — but 2-year-old Slim may be too busy head-butting his affection and rubbing his sleek sunset-orange fur on you to get a good look at first. It takes distance between you to catch the nuances of his distinctive markings, and closing that distance is all too natural for our infinitely social tiger man. Slim was a stray, but his talent for befriending cats, dogs, kids and grownups is as deep as the pink of his nose; he was fostered for a weekend by a shelter employee and fit in so gracefully you’d think he’d lived there forever. Playful Slim’s on the small side and sure to stay that way but his outgoing personality is enormous, he’ll gladly purr you his opinion on everyday trivia, and meow you all manner of profound insights; he keeps his box tidy and himself thoughtfully groomed, the better to be snuggle-ready at a moment’s notice. Slim’s already neutered and ready to go home with you today; come claim his warmth, wit and loving fascination with all things YOU.

He’ll fetch and return a hundred times, and if his furrowed brow looks worried it’s only because he’s afraid you’ll ask him to share his squeaky toy — it’s the only thing this 7-month-old Jack Russell/Shar-pei mix won’t give; his boyish heart and playful devotion are yours for the asking. Arnie’s the darling of the play yard — he loves kids, other dogs and running right into your arms when you call his name. Arnie’s almost grown and on the small side of medium, a handsomely-built, highly-trainable bundle of affection who can proudly “sit” on command. He’s good on a leash and is working on his house training; all he needs is your time and attention. If you’re ready to meet the prize of a lifetime, Arnie and his squeaky toy are ready too; come see how quickly he can fetch his jubilant young heart to yours.

Paint an orange-golden portrait of an inside cat and the image of our regal young Leon will emerge — clean, quiet, attentive and warmly affectionate — and also declawed; he’ll happily make your home his graceful kingdom, but this handsome tabby prince must rule from your lap, not your yard. Two-year-old Leon’s owner moved and gave him to us, now he’s ready to show you how seriously social he is; companionship is his calling and hobnobbing his imperative, he head-butts his respect and face-rubs his love, there’s usually no need for a plain old “meow,” unless it’s breakfast time, when he takes a break from his non-verbal friendship to roll on his back and chat you up, his own very special expression of gratitude. Leon’s so tidy he could star in a cat box commercial, but he doesn’t keep company with dogs, and we suggest no small children. Come see how soft his strong regard for you can be; Leon can’t wait to turn his earnestly handsome face to yours and lock eyes forever, then show you just where to sink your fingers into his airy, immaculate coat. Leon’s already neutered and ready to go home with you today, don’t wait.

Squeaky toys and tug of war are two of his favorite playthings, but it’s your company that’s the most fun of all; our life-of-the-party Dachshund Sambo will happily follow you anywhere, and his enthusiastic smile and windmill tail are a permanent part of his persona. Sambo’s owner moved and sadly gave him to us, now our 5-year-old Mr. Congeniality’s busy demonstrating his vast social skills — he routinely wins popularity contests with dogs big and small, and humans of all sizes too. His playful energy never runs out, but when he crawls into your lap he’ll show you his snuggle-side; Sambo soaks up love like a sponge, and you’ll never find a greater admirer, or one more willing to share you. Sambo’s an ideal pet an active family with bigger kids — he loves a yard to run in, enjoys a leash and is working on his housetraining. Come see how much joy this adoring Dachsund sidekick can bring to your home; he’s already neutered and ready to roll right into your fun-loving life.

She showcases the spectrum of the Calico rainbow with stunning elegance, but it’s her shyly sweetly nature that’s most amazing; her heart covers every hue of loving tenderness, and her warm slender body can envelope you in serene affection just by holding her. Array was found stray, a small but full grown one-year-old with manners as pristine as her clear, clean colors. She’s a quick friend-maker with other cats, gets along fine with dogs, is a tidy box keeper and a fastidious groomer; her white parts are so immaculate she fairly sparkles, and her winsome face is beyond calendar-worthy. She’ll request her breakfast with a courteous purr-meow, and give an appreciative head-butt thank you before the first bite. Array’s lived life on the street and knows that heaven is snuggling you; she’s already spayed and ready to go home today. Come behold the tri-color beauty of this classic young Calico friend, and embrace her singular devotion to you, you, you.

Her pedigree says “Pamper me,” and when you hold her like a smiling child you’ll know she’s pure Pekingese through and through — cheerful, cooperative, loving and housetrained, an always-fun sidekick who lives for the thrill of being with you. Four-year-old Bon Bon is clearly lost, she’s healthy and already spayed; now it’s time for her to grace your home with her ladylike diplomacy and fun, undemanding companionship.

She’s a pint-sized gift wrapped in tiger-and-white velvet, and she’ll cradle you in a luscious purr that’s bigger than both of you put together. At one year old Vivi’s an ever-pouring fountain of pure contentment — adoring you is what she was born for, and her miniature form makes her ginormous warmth that much more touching. Vivi was found stray, who knows how she learned to love so earnestly; she’s so determined to share affection she’ll Houdini herself into the next cage to make fast friends with the neighboring cat. Vivi’s tidy, patient and gentle, and would make a lovely first pet for your kids, who’ll delight in her ermine-soft fur, kittenish size and fervent face-rubbing devotion. Her face is patchwork but her passion for treasuring you is cut from a single fine cloth; come let Vivi hold you in her steadfast little paws.
