Creature Corner: Feb. 27, 2014

And they call it “Puppy Love.” So Mrs. Beasley, our terrier mix puppy has wiggled her way into a forever home that needed just that…some puppy love. Paws up to you lil one.

And huge paws up to Gizmo, our boxer mix who also has found a puppy love home, as he is only a year old.

Chelsea
Chelsea

Chelsea is looking for her forever home to do her favorite thing…sit on her bed and just look pretty. This senior gal has a gorgeous coat with a tail to match. She is a shepherd mix, quiet, and shy at first. Chelsea loves to go for short walks, have a treat or two, and look pretty. She is good with other dogs and has no known health issues. Chelsea turned 10 years old on Feb. 11. Her wish is to have her own quiet home for the rest of her life.

Boomer
Boomer

Boomer just can’t believe he has lived at ARF for almost a whole year now. His birthday is February 27th, and even though he will be a year old, he still is a playful, mischievous kitty. He has bravely said goodbye to his brothers and sisters, and being the youngest of the cattery, has had to take matters in his own paws. So flipping the cat toys up in the air, scrambling to catch them, and tossing them across the room keeps him busy. Let’s give Boomer his birthday wish to have his very own home and human.

Heidi
Heidi

Her heart is full of love for that special someone. She loves to be groomed and held, as she purrs her delight. Easy going, loves cat naps, and the sun. This is Heidi, an eight year old female tortoiseshell. Unfortunately she lost her owner in a tragedy. As if that wasn’t enough, she also is a special needs cat. Heidi is a carrier of the corona virus, which means she would have to be completely isolated from all felines, or live in a home where she is the only cat. That is a simple request, as that is her only special need. Please contact ARF if you or someone you know, can allow Heidi to live the rest of her life safely in a home. 951-659-1122. Someone has to have a heart as big as Heidi’s so she can have a home.

ARF has many cats and dogs available for adoption or fostering. Go to www.arfidyllwild.weebly.com and click on Petfinder. All pets are spayed, neutered and current on shots. ARF is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays.
