Snow-white Tundra, with movie-star good looks, puzzled people in the community where he was roving, obviously completely on his own. Yet, Tundra was also obviously a pet, one who had been taught good manners with people and with other dogs. Tundra’s looks and good training made him an unlikely pup to be forgotten and abandoned. […]
Twenty-five-pound, eight-month-old Spudnic is just beginning to sleep soundly, without springing up, hyper-vigilant, looking for his tormenter. The Cairn-terrier-mix pup lived in a house with four other dogs. One of the dogs made Spudnic his squeaky toy. He’d attack the puppy with no warning, for no reason. It was a game for the bully. It […]
In her heart and mind, Apple will always be a kitten. Something happened to the 18-month-old kitten, either in her mama’s body or when she was tiny. Apple’s chromosomes may be a bit different, or she could have been subjected to a toxin very early. Whatever caused it, Apple will go through life with a […]
Blueberry’s eyes seem haunted, maybe because the poor cat is re-living her nightmare. Her first owners abandoned the mitten-wearing cat when she was a tiny kitten. After they loaded the belongings that mattered to them, they drove away, leaving the dependent, innocent kitten sitting in the yard, baffled, then terrified and gradually dying. Someone saw […]
Three-year-old Freddy, who’s recently neutered, looks a little unhappy in his photo. That look accurately expresses how Freddy felt when his photo was taken. The confused boy was happily settled in a home and felt fine about being a boy in every sense. After three years of life, Freddy felt that he understood the world. […]
Teeter is the perfect family dog. The five-month-old, golden girl has Labrador understanding and eagerness to please, mixed with a Beagle’s soul-deep sweetness. The combination also created the ideal-sized pet. Teeter won’t be too little, thus, too easily injured, or too big, thus, too difficult to share a sofa with. The sleek-coated pup is also […]
Most pet lovers tell anyone who’s interested about their cat or dog. Yet, frequently people bring an animal to the shelter, explaining that the animal, the one clinging to them, is a stray. That was what the person who delivered 11-month-old, social, golden, purring boy Braxton said. Later, a shelter visitor recognized Braxton. His whole […]
Six-month-old Eleven and his brother, Poe, would have made many owners laugh, at the boisterous kittens and at their own foolishness. Left on their own, being “boys who just wanna have fun”, the kittens got into food left out. It was a prank. It was kitty-cat curiosity. But, with these kittens’ owners, it was the […]
The holidays are happy times, unless you spend them alone, in a shelter. It’s especially sad because this is 11-month-old Holly’s first Christmas. It’s sad, too, because Holly remembers being adored as a kitten. The pretty little white girl, with gold decorations, can’t talk about that, but Holly’s trust in and love of people shows […]
Perseverance isn’t a kitten anymore. And she isn’t cuddly anymore, either. In fact, she’s afraid to be touched. She’s even afraid when people get too close. Yet, Perseverance wasn’t always that way. Unkind people have taught her that it’s safest to run. It’s the way a cat who’s been abandoned manages to survive, to persevere. […]
