New Arrivals at the Shelter
















Puppies abound! I think people got puppies, then forgot they had them, because we had 5 of them show up at the Shelter on various days last week. Nothing about a puppy I don't like, especially the Chocolate Lab puppy that was there. AND his name was Moose. Why is that significant? Because my 9-year old Chocolate Lab is ALSO Moose! I wanted to adopt him and name him MJ, but someone beat me to it. Congrats to the new owner!

Crash is a really cute black and white Heeler, 12-14 weeks old. He was hit by a car, but seems to be doing just fine. Mercury, 12-14 weeks as well, is a charming Black Lab. Runt is a crazy Lab/Heeler Mix. At 5 months, he's ready to rock and roll.

ButterRum, who was named Ginger (but I just like saying ButterRum!) is a beautiful, altered, orange Tabby. She enjoys being picked up, likes her head scratched and just really wants to get out of the Shelter.

I've been going over to the Shelter every day at lunch, just to spend time with the cats. Cats are very social animals, but if you don't hang out with them, they can become shy. Take MaoMao for example. He's a Failure to Thrive kitten - just hasn't grown hardly at all. When I go in there now, he runs up to me, meowing and hissing at the same time. I love it! I've been giving the "special needs" cats a mixture of chicken and rice every lunchtime. It worked for Ralphie, my "Failure to Thrive" cat who weighs about 8 pounds now!

Check out these pictures. These are great animals and they all need homes.
