Ethel
Ethel

Ethel is ready to move on as long as she has a very active family or a young canine playmate to grow up with. This young girl is under

1, and loves to play and run. She is a quick learner, as she has already mastered sit and stay. Leash training was a piece of cake (or bone.) Ethel is not a barker, unless she sees a feline. So no cats, please. Oh, and she’s doggy-door and house-trained, too. Grab your leash and start walking.

Here we have Lord Archibald (Archie) in white and Lady Arabella (Bella) in black. Lost, abandoned, dumped? They came in to ARF together and are very friendly. They are between 3 and 5 years old. Since they

are so attached to each other, we believe they would love to stay together when adopted. We believe the male is an American Eskimo and the female is a sheltie-mix. Please call ARF if interested in these two, 951-659-1122.

Those gorgeous eyes will meet yours as you walk in the room. Mama Pepper knows you have come in to visit just her. She will be the first to greet, and then surprise you with a couple lyrics of the new melody she has been working on — musical notes mixed in with a tiny meow. She loves water play, and knows her manners with the litter box, and other felines. How can you resist?

We have several pets on our website in assisted adoption, also. Be sure to look us up on Facebook, too.

All of our pets will be front and center at ARF on Friday during our yard sale.

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.

Creature corner is sponsored by Bijou & Sherry & Don Tomeo, this week. To sponsor the column, call Lisa Streeter at the Town Crier, 951-659-2145.
