Pet of the Week

They say love is a two-way street, but this congenial collie/shepherd mix Kaylee thinks the fun part is giving; bliss is being by your side or at your feet. Kaylee’s owners moved away and she’s eager to show you how delightfully low-maintenance a great family dog can be. Gentle Kaylee loves to play in the yard, and has a special place in her heart for kids. (Another dog friend is terrific too — and cats are just fine.) She’s already housetrained, and her loyalty shines when she leash-walks.

It took a three-story ladder to get gorgeous calico Putty Tat down from a tree, but she was worth every step. You won’t find a more intelligent, polite or attentive two-year-old, or one more willing to give you a fair meow-comment on any question you put to her. Putty Tat’s as universally affectionate as she is colorful, too — she’ll quickly rub her orange, black and white softness all over you just to say hello, and she treats her cat friends with the same kindness.

Her mood is like her right ear — always up, and her smile is always on, too. That’s because winsome young American Staffordshire/Box mix Jada loves life and everyone in it — you, other dogs, and kids of all sizes, too. Jada’s owners moved and couldn’t take her; now some other fortunate family will bask in her affectionate energy and laugh at her nonstop antics. Jada thinks fun time and petting time are all the time; she’s a gentle playmate who’ll always stop to kiss you, then she’ll kiss her dog friends, too!

The morning sunshine comes in cat form apparently, because the Adoption Center has it in Cage 1 — not the hot afternoon sun that beats down and bakes you, the rosy-orange gentle sun that makes the day so pleasant to start. This morning sun is named Sierra, and she warms everyone around her with her sweetness; her purr will start the moment you pet her, that’s another way she’ll comfort you — one of many.

He cocks his head carefully when you talk to him, his impressive satellite ears transmitting every syllable to his tiny golden heart. El Dorado only weighs 10 lbs, but he lives up to his big name with a ton of pure friendship — he’s the perfect Chihuahua/mix sidekick, and he’ll run to your arms and give you kisses to prove it. He loves to be held and he’ll relax calmly in your lap at home, or walk proudly by your side on a leash.

His name is Leonardo and he’s already mastered the fine art of making friends, a big achievement for a decidedly small but full-grown two-year-old. But when your heart’s as big as your body, it’s easily to be massively popular. Leonardo was found at an apartment complex, living alone; now he has friends everywhere; his cheerful charisma surrounds him like his stripes, and you’ll long to surround him, too

At just 8 months old Venus has keen eyes and ears, but mostly she’s keen on you; she loves to play, but will quickly abandon her pursuits to run to your side and give gentle kisses. Her potential is limitless and her willingness to please is instinctive, with just a little time and training she’ll polish up to a perfect family dog.

Maybe she was trying to see her cousins in Key West when she escaped from her cage and climbed up on the roof –the famous cats at the Hemingway mansion, the ones with 6-toes, just like her. No matter, tiny Myrtle and her big white mitten feet are safely back in her cage now, where she stays busy being the exemplary one-year-old lady cat that she is, and keeping the 6-toe white mittens as clean and sweet as the rest of her, which is very clean and sweet indeed.

He’s wildly enthusiastic and sweetly cooperative; an exuberant American Bulldog mix kid who runs circles in the rain for the sheer joy of feeling the wetness, then trots quietly back to his kennel at your bidding. His name is Rodney, and at 2 years old he offers all that American Bulldogs are known for — he’s smart, fun and social, playful and tolerant with children, and ready to bond with you as your confident, lifelong companion.

Connect the dots on his legs, down low where the tiger stripes turn into spots like a miniature ocelot, and you’ll begin to feel the pleasure that is Raymond. He’s a grand example of how elegant a tabby can be, a sleek velvet young friend, always ready to snuggle but never in your face. Raymond was found in Ware Shoals, and never was there a more exquisitely soft stray — touch him and you’ll see.
