Creature Corner: Jan. 12, 2012

Sweetpea

By Mimi and Hooch

Paws up to Winifred, our Weimaraner puppy, who gave everyone who walked in the door those big puppy eyes, and made contact with her forever family.

We have pictures at ARF of Bruno, a chocolate American Staffordshire, who needs to be rehomed as his owner is ill.

Sweetpea
Do you know what love is? To Sweetpea, the ARF Diva, it’s a soft caress, a warm blanket, a
window seat to the world, and, oh, yes, eyes only for her. Always generous with her love for humans, this adult female maine coon-mix tolerates the canine crowd, but prefers to be the only feline. Well, that’s a true Diva. Can you live without her?

So you had a bad day? Keep that football out, even after Super Bowl. Come home to Missy, a young Aussie mix and you won’t remember the “ruff” day at the office. Always ready for a game of catch, whether it’s the football, Frisbee, or her favorite toy. Prefer the walk? She’s ready. Great on the leash, good with all canines, and a little inquisitive about the feline crowd. This smart girl is quick to learn tricks, and commands. Potty training? Done. Stay? Done. Release? Done. Down? Well, we’re still working on that. If you have the energy, she will match it. When the day is done, well, I guess she might just share the remote and the couch!

Girl Scout kitties
And our furry “Girl Scout” kitties will bring giggles and warmth to your heart. Under mama Sky’s watchful eye, she has ensured they are lovable, playful, and ready for adoption. Only four left, so hurry in before they disappear.

ARF has many cats and dogs available for adoption or fostering. Go to www.idyllwildarf.org and click on Petfinder. All pets are spayed, neutered, and current on shots. ARF is open on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Call for appointment on any other day at (951) 659- 1122.
