Pets of the Week October 31, 2011


If well behaved is what you’re looking for, Charlie is your man. At 2 years old he’s full of loving enthusiasm, he’ll jump for joy when he meets you but he’s much too polite to jump on you. Charlie loves kids and adults, and is great on a leash. Charlie’s ready to give his sweet, happy soul to the right loving family, one who’ll appreciate his quiet, outgoing personality and his ever-after loyalty.


She’s a doll in every way, a shiny little black doll so relaxed and easy-to-please she didn’t bat an eye when she went to two off-site adoption events; she lounged in a cage in the parking lot with traffic whizzing by as if nothing were amiss. Although at 9 months old she’s just a kid herself, your little ones will love playing with her. Dixie loves being indoors and out, gets along beautifully with other cats, and is ready to make your happy home even happier.

Pets of the Week October 24, 2011

Baxter has returned from “finishing school” at Camp Chinquapin and he has learned A LOT! At 10 months old this Boxer-mix boy plays non-stop until you call him, and then run straight into your arms. Baxter’s full of gentle, outgoing spirit — he adores playing with kids and other dogs; a nice yard where he can romp with others would be perfect for him. He’s housetrained and a proud leash walker, too!


Sausalito’s an exotic one-year-old Abyssinian mix beauty with the fine bone structure and extroverted personality her breed is known for, and a strong warm heart all her own. Sausalito’s patterned with soft brown jungle-cat spots, you’ll admire them every time she rubs her toasty soft-self against you. With her steady, supportive outlook and intelligent, tidy ways, Sausalito may become the most civilized member of your family.

Pets of the Week October 17, 2011


If you thought Snoopy set the standard for Beagle appeal, think again; beautiful 4-year old Sadie blows him away. Her heart’s big and outgoing we don’t know how her little brown and white body contains it; she’s affectionate, playful and attentive, an adoring sidekick for kids and grownups, and a delightful companion for your current family dog — cats are OK too! Run- return-snuggle is Sadie’s favorite schedule, but she also loves to leash-walk — a great time for human-Beagle conversation!


He’s as big and cozy as a Lazy Boy recliner — built for comfort right down to his soft, declawed paws — and handsomely “upholstered” in miniature tiger stripes as soft as pinwale corduroy. Oliver’s a vibrantly healthy young man and a fine snuggle companion; he was turned in by his owners because the family dogs bothered him and he couldn’t defend himself in his declawed state; now he’s looking for a home to keep tidy and a human to cherish, kids and a screened porch would be his idea of heaven.

Pets of the Week October 10, 2011


Rex, a compact Retriever mix, is a low-maintenance gem of a friend, with a healthy heart as vast and accommodating as a wraparound porch, who just happens to have a reduced adoption fee of $50 because he’s 8 years old. Rex is calm, quiet and housebroken, has a low-maintenance coat, gets along fine with other pets, and enjoys being inside or out; a great match for a busy working family with kids, or a loving stay-at-home single.


Gaby’s a pristine silver tiger beauty with riveting green eyes the color of a Luna moth; hold her close and you’ll see they’re rimmed perfectly in both black and white eyeliner, unless you’re too distracted by her musical purr to pay attention. Her soft, girlish hum starts immediately, an instant compliment that says she’s as fascinated with you as you are with her. Gaby was found “stray” in 96, but she’s too lovely to wander; she belongs in your heart and your home.

Pets of the Week October 3, 2011


He’s as gloriously good looking a Border Collie as you’ll find. At 5 years old, Alamo’s full of health and vitality, and displays all the loyalty and intelligence his breed is known for — without the hyperactivity. Alamo is house-trained, easy-going and affectionate with kids, and cats are fine too, but he needs to be your “only dog.” Keenly responsive and eager to please, he’ll run to your side when you call him, and he’s great on a leash as well.


Her personality is as animated as her coat is quiet; she’ll roll on her back so you can rub her stomach without further ado, even if there’s been no ado at all. At one-year-young Tatum’s a full-grown little cat girl, happy to spend time with her roommate and keep the tidy cage they’re known for. But her true fascination is with YOU, in fact she’s so excited to “friend you” she wears herself out; purr-blasting and rubbing away, with a witty meow sound thrown in at intervals to let you know she’s listening.
