Pet of the Day: Angie

 

Submitted

I’m Angie, and my situation is sad. I’m skinny, and was covered in ticks when I came in as an owner surrender. I have no clue why I am here.

The volunteers could sing: “Oh, Angie, don’t you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet. I hate that sadness in your eyes.”

I’m only two years old, a black and tan coonhound mix that might be a better partner than a hunting dog. The season is over, so I probably got dumped.

I’m a little shy and confused because no one taught me how to walk on a leash, but I am making huge strides daily! I would be the most gratitude-filled best friend. [Read more…]

Oak Ridge Animal Shelter

The Oak Ridge Animal Shelter on Belgrade Road is pictured above.

Submitted

Shizzy’s Doggy Haven in partnership with the Oak Ridge Animal Shelter are sponsoring a pet drive and adoption fair on Saturday. All donations from the event will go directly to the animal shelter.

Spring has sprung and that means the shelter is full of puppies, kittens, adult dogs, and cats that are looking for their new home. Drop by for some puppy love and a chance to adopt your new best friend! We will also have lots of silent auction items available including a grill donated by Home Depot.

We have amazing door prizes available from local sponsors and all you need to do to enter is bring an item the shelter desperately needs to continue to run efficiently. The shelter’s needs are blankets, towels, dog beds, crates and cages, cat carriers, dish soap, (he) laundry soap, cleaning supplies, dog food (wet and dry), puppy and kitten food, cat litter, newspapers, toys, stuffed animals, collars, leashes, and most of all YOU!

Pet of the Day: Sam

 

Submitted

I am Sam, a 12-year-old Border Collie Mix. I can certainly show you the calmer side of life. How about a peaceful walk in the neighborhood with me? I would love nothing more than to retire with dignity, with an owner that is as faithful to me as I would be to you.

I should not be here, but such is life. I just want a lap to lay my head on. Won’t you consider being my best and final owner?

The Oak Ridge Animal Shelter is at 395 Belgrade Road in east Oak Ridge. The phone number is (865) 425-3423.

Icky is the name I grew up with, but it is sooo wrong! I need someone to love me and look at me differently—and please change my name! How would you like to grow up with a name like that? Ricky, Nicky, or even Licky would be better for me!

I am available now. I’m a six-year-old Chihuahua mix with tons of love to give you! Just ask the people who are so kind to walk me! I don’t belong here, please?

Look at this handsome gentleman! He’s calm, proud and handsome. Hello there! I’m Butch, Milo’s partner in a non-crime! I’m about two years old, and I am a good boy, good on a leash, and I like everyone! Don’t you like my pose? I really want to meet you! I like to bark at the other dogs when they walk by, but that’s just because I’m bored, ya know. I’m pretty danged harmless and just need a buddy. Won’t you be mine?

Pet of the Day: Honey Bun

 

Submitted

Now why would they name me Honey Bun? Could it be ’cause I look like one and am sweet as one? The wonderful shelter folks gave me a great bath, but I need a Mommy or Daddy who will stroke my soft coat and let me give them some of my sweet love! I’m a Bearded Collie, and I just got here on May 14, so you better hurry!

Sterling is still at the shelter and really needs out. We have featured her before as our pet of the day, but we are doing it again because we want her to have a future. We have a sponsor who will pay half of her fee for adoption to a good home. She is sweet and friendly and needs a little help getting a home. Please help her.

I am one little “ham.” When Miss Maggie wanted to take my picture, I just rolled over and showed her my real personality. I thought my gray fur against my blue blankie just made the color “Pop!” I also have the most adorable little ears. I really want to go home and have my very own special person to love me. Will you be my forever human?…. [Read more…]

Hey ladies, my name is Alice, but I DO NOT do housekeeping, if anyone remembers the Brady Bunch! I came in with my brothers Kyle and Zebro, and will be available on Saturday, May 2. I’m a little beagle mix puppy.

I think if I was one of the boys, they probably would have named me Radar. Aren’t my ears just beautiful? Obviously, I’m very proud of them! [Read more…]

Pet of the Day: Sasha

Submitted

I am just one cutsie girlfriend waiting on my limo to take me out of here…I frankly am looking for my best friend, and I am rather selective. All applications will be considered, but only if you are into fun times, cuddling, and furballs. Are you feeling the love?

Sasha has been in the shelter since March. That is a long time to sit in a small cage and a long time in a full shelter.

Wonder why they call me Champ? Well let me tell ya—I am a gorgeous boy, about two years old, and a Jack Russell Terrier mix. I am friendly with everyone and everything, and I’m tolerating this shelter stuff pretty well.

I won’t be available until May 8, so they can give my people enough time to find me. But in the meantime, please come walk with this animal, talk to this animal, and I will walk and talk with you!

That’s from Dr. Dolittle, by the way. I am very smart! [Read more…]

Roscoe was the featured pet of the day on Friday. He is shy and I imagine still missing his family, but he is a sweet boy and warms up to a little love. Please share his pictures and story to help us find him a home. Roscoe is three years old.

“My mom and dad became homeless, and a lot of people have been trying to take care of me, but the money only goes so far! They cried when they dropped me off Please help! I will love you forever, and don’t I have just the most beautiful face?”
