Pet of the Day: Wooly and Chase

Wooly and Chase here…Aren’t we too cute, sitting here waiting on someone to promise forever?

You see, we got dumped here by our owners. How can they just walk away? It made us sad, but you know what? There are wonderful people like Miss Bev and Miss Maggie who just snatched us up lovingly in their arms and whisked us away. They are really nice and very special people who told us that there are humans who will promise to never let us go. Is that true?

Wayne—John Wayne, that is…”Life is tough, but it’s tougher if you’re stupid,” is what I like to say.

Well, doesn’t this prove it? I got busted straying around Oak Ridge and wound up here. I’m a perfect specimen of a very young adult boxer who is licking my chops thinking about being pulled from this calaboose! The folks at the shelter think I’m the bomb :). Please bail me out!

Pet of the Day: Casterly

I’m Casterly. If you like to watch “Game of Thrones,” you’ll recognize my name.

I am only a year old, and one of the volunteers was asked, “Is this dog really this mellow, or is he just trying to get adopted?” Haha! I am really that mellow!

I’m a Yellow Labrador mix, and I just became available. I am very smart and calm, good with children and other animals. The only thing I seem to be interested in with cats is their food. LOL. Yep, I’m a chow hound, all right!

P.S. I’m sponsored for 1/2 of the fees, because one of the volunteers wants to make sure I get a GREAT new home! [Read more…]
