Pets of the Week February 13, 2012


Dana is a one year old “foxy” terrier who is quite adept at finding ways to get to your heart. She takes her time to warm up, constantly assessing what she likes about you, and once you’re “a-okay,” then she will allow you to spend time with her. A perfect day for her includes some napping in the sun and cuddle time with her people. She is very direct when she wants attention — every girl wants you to know what will make her happy — and, if her vocal communication doesn’t work, she will resort to showing you her soulful puppy dog eyes. She does well with friendly felines and children, although she is little pickier about her canine companions. So if you’re looking for an independent female who can take care of herself, a cheerleader for you when you go on walks, or just someone to snuggle and watch movies with — Dana is the dog for you!


Nym is a four to five-month-old Buff Tabby youngster who was found wandering in Ninety Six lost from her home. Nobody came looking for her at the animal shelter, so she’s “on the market” for adoption. Nym is quite talkative. Quite. What exactly it is that she’s saying is up to your imagination. She loves attention and affection, along with access to an available lap for cuddling and napping. It’s best to let her call the shots when it comes to what activities you and she will engage in because you’ll get to hear about it if you don’t. Come to the Humane Society of Greenwood and adopt Nym to get a shot of nonstop entertainment and love added to your home.

Pets of the Week February 6, 2012


“Jubilant” is the word for this tug-of-war loving brindle boy — at almost 2 years old he’s the best of the American Staffordshire breed, brimming with affection and a massive play ethic, an effusive bundle of loving energy, all focused on YOU. Murphy was abandoned by his owners but his heart emerged unscathed; now he’ll happily be your outside dog — room to play is a must for him. Inside or out, this courageous youngster needs and deserves your caring attention. Our amiable Murphy enjoys the company of other dogs (beware, little dogs, he might romp right over you.) And his natural devotion to kids and family is yours for the asking. He’s not housetrained yet, but watch him cock his head when you give him instructions — he hangs on your every word and will strive to become your dream come true, just as surely as you’ll be his. Come see the stuff legendary loyalty is made of — ask for Murphy.


He’s a thoroughbred of a family cat — big, strong, intelligent and handsomer than heck, with a chiseled face, long, airy orange and white fur, and an outsized purr as exceptional as the rest of him; pick him up and he thrill-purrs high and low all at once, kind of harmonizing with himself, and certainly with you. After 10 years of tried and true loyalty, a divorce has landed this healthy, magnificent man-cat here, but Boo’s heart is as vast as the rest of him, and with eons of love left to give, he’s ready to move on. Gentleman Boo’s downy-soft fur is constantly clean, his box-keeping habits are admirable, he gets along fine with other cats, and he loves to talk — what better way to share daily wisdom? He’s already neutered and ready to go home with you today; don’t wait to claim the comfort of your exciting new friend named Boo.

She’s charmingly bashful at first, but when you’re already housetrained and beautifully mannered like Maci, there’s no reason to be shy! This gentle Lab/Hound mix is as tender-hearted as they come. At 4 years young Maci’s an ideal family dog — she’s adoring and trustworthy with kids, gets along fine with other pets, and is ready to show you her very own brand of loyalty. Maci’s easy to care for and already spayed; take her home with you today and shower her with attention, then bask in the abundant affection of this flawless this new friend.


Sink your fingers into his luxurious deep-pile coat and you’ll feel his purr — as quiet, strong, and gentle as the rest of him. Auto is a 3-year-old man of a cat; big, beautiful and laid back; he showed up at a home off Laurens Highway and turned himself in to the human world; life on the road didn’t suit him, his impeccable manners were going to waste and his extraordinary jewel-green eyes were unappreciated. Auto wants a home of his own where he can be your daily ally; and if kids, other cats, and/or dogs are included well so much the better. Come see what a clean companion a handsome man cat can be, and how soft a solid new friend can feel — especially one named Auto.

Pets of the Week January 25, 2012


This little rascal’s impeccably housetrained, and she can proudly “sit” and “shake” too — the tender loving education her early foster mother invested in her made Darla a pure delight of a family dog! She’s a fun, affectionate, almost one-year-old Doberman mix who exemplifies the loyal companion-dog breeding Dobie’s are known for. Gentle Darla’s black and tan beauty is only outshone by her happy disposition; she adores kids, loves other dogs and thinks cats are great, too. She’s easy to care for and civilized as can be; able to live in almost any home setting, as long as you give her the playtime she needs, and the human commitment she craves. Come meet this young paragon of home-and-family devotion; Darla’s all but done growing, however her heart knows no bounds, and she’s ready to give her unlimited love to you.


Mya is a 10-month-old brown tabby with hypnotic emerald green eyes, who is an affectionate friend to all. Mya can be coy at first, and after she’s had her fun teasing and flirting with you, she’ll quickly thank you for having fun with her. Mya was found as a formerly “lost” cat who wandered up to a home and that person kindly brought her to the animal shelter. It’s hard to believe such a cute, well-mannered and friendly cat would would find herself in such a situation! This cute little girl is spayed and ready to go home today!

She’s full of blonde ambition — to show you how perfectly housetrained she is, and how fun it is to “sit” and “shake” on command! The work is done with this intelligent three year old shepherd/retriever mix; Debbie’s a ladylike delight, her gentle affection, exquisite manners and cooperative, eager-to-learn spirit are tenderly impressive. She was surrendered by her owner and is already spayed, ready to grace your home as an inside or outside dog. Debbie loves people — she’s great with kids and is thrilled to walk on a leash; cats aren’t her favorite company, but she gets along well with most dogs. The lovely markings on her silky face only hint at the beauty inside. Come feel the loyal friendship Debbie’s ready to give, and see what a precious gift her blonde ambition can be.


Her personality is as effervescent as her name, and she has all the attributes that make her Maine Coon breed second only to the Persian in popularity. Bubbles is 2 years young — outgoing, talkative and intelligent, ready to greet you with a soft head butt, serenade you with a purr, and surround you gently with her silky tri-colored fur. She was found stray at Cambridge Academy spending time with the students; she loves kids, other pets too, and is a fastidious groomer and box-keeper. Bubbles will come to you instantly and capture you heart just as quickly; come see what a joy a young Maine Coon girl can be.
