Shelter Profiles!!!!

I think I have been a bit late on my shelter pet profiles, so here are the ones for this week:


Pet of the Week:


This week's pet of the week is a lab/rottweiler mix named Gus. I think I may have already done a profile on him, but here is a little bit about him anyway: He is about a year old and the best word to describe him is GOOFBALL!!! He needs a bit of training because he pretty much has no manners at all, but I had him on a long walk the other day and he picked up how to behave pretty quick. I eventually got him to walk nicely on the leash and to sit and wait for me to go through doors first, and after a while I got him to stop slobbering and chewing all over the leash. He LOVES to run and play. He likes to hear his name and his tail wags like mad when he says his name. He is bit shy of strangers but most people don't stay strangers very long for him, they become best friends very quickly. He likes to jump and sometimes does body slams with his massive chest, but he is a quick learner and is learning already that this is not good behavior. His fur is very interesting. It is all the same color but some spots are darker and some spots are lighter.

Shelter Cat Profile:


This week's cat profile is a really awesome cat named Mcgee. He HATES being stuck in his little cage and would LOVE to go home soon! He loves running around free and playing with toy mice while the staff clean his cage. He is a black cat, and I am not sure exactly how old he is, although I would guess he is fairly young. He is pretty vocal and makes a lot of funny noises. He is a very loving cat. He loves to play, and he also loves to get attention and be pet. 


McGee does not have a petfinder page yet.




Shelter Dog Profile:


This week's dog profile is a german shepherd named Missy. The shelter thinks she is about four years old. She is very sweet. She loves to go for daily walks, and is amazing on a leash, she walks on a loose leash very, very well. She loves attention, and she has a cute way perking up her ears and tilting her head and looking at you when you talk to her. It is very cute. The shelter is recommending she goes to a home with experience with shepherds, because she does have some possession issues with rawhide and she does not like having any veterinary procedures done at ALL, so going to the vet with her is going to be tricky.

Pocket Pet Profile:


This week's pocket pet profile is a pair of Budgies/parakeets. One is blue and white, and the other is yellow and green. They are both female. They will need time to get used to their new owners but they should tame pretty quickly. The are very fun to watch. They like to talk to each other and sometimes they argue. One sits on top of a perch and one hangs upside down off it and they squawk at each other. They need to be adopted together because they will get lonely without each other. I almost forgot to mention, their names are Peep and Chong.


The birds don't have a petfinder page right now. UPDATE: yes they do! Here it is: http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/19355119

Aren't they cute?

And now....

 A SNEAK PEAK OF THE FISH TANK!!!!

Just imagine some gravel, water, and a fish and that is what it will look like. There is a cave in there and two silk plants. Above the cave is a leaf bed for the betta suctioned to the tank. On the right is the heater (behind the silk plants) and to the left is the filter (the black thing) and the thermometer. 

The Fuzzy Quartet!

So this is a profile about four ferrets that recently came to the shelter. The shelter has been calling them the Fuzzy Quartet. I LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!!! Their names are Bear, Sheldon, Bobby Sue, and Tinkerbelle.

Bear is a sable ferret (I think) (sable is the coloring). He has extra dark places though. He a gorgeous ferret. I believe is the eldest of the group. He is still pretty playful.

Sheldon is a sable ferret. I don't think that they know his age. He is the biggest ferret out of the bunch. He is a very relaxed ferret and likes to be cuddled, but he does like to play a lot too. (I don't tell the other ferrets, but Sheldon is kinda my favorite). He also walks on a leash very well.

Bobby Sue is a dark eyed white ferret (I think, I am not 100% sure on the coloring) She also has a grey spot. She is a really sweet ferret. She likes to climb on me when I sit with her. (Both of the girls do). Her nickname is Trouble.

Tinkerbelle is a sable ferret. I believe she is two years old. She likes to sit on my shoulder when I take her out and likes to lay around my neck like a scarf.


They are all very playful and a lot of fun!!!  They love each other. They all like to squish themselves in the same hammock to sleep. They have lived with each other for a very long time so they are going to be adopted out together. Their giant cage is going with them to whoever adopts them.

Pet Profiles!

Here are this week's shelter pet profiles!

Pet of the week:

This week's pet of the week is a dog named Holly. She might sound familiar because I have already done a profile on her.

If you want to see more info on Holly and pictures of her go to her petfinder page: http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/18138257

Cat profile:

This week's cat profile is my current favorite kitty. His names is Tino. He looks like a lion to me. (besides his color). He is super sweet and LOVES LOVES LOVES to have under his chin scratched. He is a relaxed cuddly cat. He is about five years old. He is a grey tabby.
For information on Tino and to see pictures of him check out his petfinder page: http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/19025229


Dog profile:

This week's dog profile is a dog named Gus. Gus is a fawn colored lab rottweiler mix. He is about a year old and very goofy. He loves to play and he loves to hear his name, it makes his tail wag like crazy. Because of his energy level and his young age, a home without very small children would be best for him. He is picky about his dog friends so he needs to meet any dogs he might be living with. He will do fine with cats.
For more information on Gus and pictures of him go to his petfinder page: http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/19242217


Pocket pet profile:

This week's pocket pet profile is a rabbit named Carver. Carver is a black lionhead rabbit of unknown age. (A lionhead is a small to medium sized bunny with medium hair all over except around their head where they have long fur). Carver is super cute and super sweet. He loves to chew on his wooden toys and to sit on top of his plastic igloo. He is a fairly easy rabbit to clean up after and feed. He likes to have time outside of  his cage to play and spend time with people. He does well with handling.
Carver does not have a petfinder page.
