Creature Corner: Dec. 20, 2012
Happy holidays to all from ARF. We hope your holidays and the New Year will be full of love and treats for your furry four-leggeds.
New to the ARF house from Santa: Mama, a Chihuahua mix with four puppies about 4 weeks old, two females, two males.
Candy Cane, our Chihuahua mix, has found the best forever home for Christmas. Paws up to you Candy. Oreo our Boston terrier-Chhiuahua mix will surely miss your love as will all of us at ARF.
Dear Santa: My name is Oreo Cookie. My ears are listening for those sleigh bells that will take me to a home for Christmas. I am friendly with all other dogs, am a little curious about the feline crowd, and very friendly with the humans. I am young enough to play and love the adventure of a walk. The humans say I am part Boston terrier, part Chihuahua. I do tricks too! I can twirl and dance about especially when my food bowl is ready. My greatest wish, Santa, is for a loving forever warm home.
Baby Girl Faith has a special wish for Santa. Dear Santa: I was discarded in the dirt and left to die. I am alive today because someone made a change in their routine. They took me to a vet immediately, and then fostered me, nursed me back to health and socialized and loved me. Yes, I am available for adoption. But my wish is for more fosters to open their hearts and homes for the many ARF animals so they could be as lucky as I am. Please consider allowing a small space for us in your home. Thank you, Santa.
And the reindeer brought ARF a present. Living alone, with little or no human contact, Domino is a female Lab mix that reminds me of our Missy Lab mix. Bring a football, and I think you will have a friend for the Super Bowl. She is an A-plus student, as she is already learning basic commands. She is under 2 years old, friendly with other four-leggeds, cares less about the felines, and is all about playing.
