Creature Corner: Dec. 22, 2011

By Mimi & Hooch

Merry Christmas to all the four-legged creatures from the ARF orphans. A special paws up to Lola, our Chihuahua, who gave a wink and a squeak, and won the hearts of two angels.

Sugar

Bazell, Grog, and Charlie were all reunited this week after going on adventures. And Buddha/Bubba the cat, finally came home to a much worried human.

Spice

Rudi

We tearfully say goodbye to Chloe, as her memory will always be in our heart.

Sugar and Spice are everything nice! Brothers of the Girl Scout litter, these little furballs will bring years of laughter. Come to ARF and

Spit
scoop up some kitty love of your own.

Rudi, Spit and Fire are the sisters and brother of Sugar and Spice, Spit being the male. All siblings are healthy, adventurous, soft and purring, and so ready for their Christmas home.

Fire

Sky, the brave mama of these babies, gave a lick and a purr goodbye, and was on her way to rest and relaxation in her new humans lap. Good job Sky.

Chevy

Chevy, the young male purrs just like a Chevy engine. Ready for play, this teen has his motor running at the break of dawn. Orange eyes aglow, he still likes his naps too.

Missy, the young Aussie mix has been busy learning new commands. Her focus is superb, her memory is sharp, and her energy is high. Missy loves the leash, the car, and any exercise that involves a toy or treats, of course. Abandoned in her home, alone, and unsure of her future, Missy has forgotten all that and moved on. Good with four-leggeds and two-leggeds, she will capture the hearts of many.
