Great Week!!!

Fabulous weekend at PetSmart! OK...so where do we begin???  Gladys left on Saturday.  When her new family came to pick her up they also decided to adopt Gabby, a 12 year old lab mix who was at the store with volunteers.  Both of these senior pets are going to have a wonderful life!  They will be the only pets in the home.

Below is a picture of Gabby with her new mom. In addition the other dog that went to PetSmart this weekend, Stretch, a basset hound mix, was also adopted and went home from the Shelter today!

Here is BIG news....Daisy went home today!!  Yay!  Her new mom put a hold on her Sunday and she was so happy to be able to pick her up today.  Daisy cheerfully got into the carrier and seemed more than ready to go home. AND...Daisy just may get a new brother or sister, too.  Even after being warned that Daisy can be a tad annoyed with other cats they still think they may adopt a kitten as well.  Maybe Daisy will behave herself in a home.  There would be room to get away from a younger sibling...or for him/her to get away from Daisy! For now Daisy will be the only pet.

Honey is leaving on Sunday!  She also will be the only pet in the house. After being at the mercy of her evil sister, Lily, while here at the Shelter this is a well deserved break for her!

Two precious kittens arrived at PetSmart today!  You guys are going to love them! Both are about three months old. Archie and Armando - along with their calico sister who has since been adopted – were found down a long road that ran along a stretch of woods abandoned in a box . A good Samaritan was walking her dog and came upon them.  They had obviously been domesticated and living in a house.  They were so clean and very friendly!  She carried the box for almost half a mile and sure they were delivered safely to the Shelter. We cringe to think what would have happened to them had they not been found!  They do not need to be adopted together however it would be wonderful if they were.  Two brothers from the same litter will be fast friends forever and anyone who adopts them need never worry about leaving them when they go out. AND...as always…adopt one and the adoption fee is waived on the other!
