Creature Corner: August 21, 2014

Mama Lizzie and her four babies are safe in the ARF house: two females and two males about 3 months old. Mama is about 1 year old. They are all social, not vocal, and have good eating habits, and are litter-box trained. Get your kitty soon. They won’t last long.

critters-LuluLily is in her forever home with her favorite human. So that leaves Lulu, the last of the Chihuahua sisters. She is about 6 months old and all about playtime. Lily and Lulu, with four other siblings, were abandoned in a box on the side of the road. Everyone else has had their dream come true except for Lulu. She loves to play, cuddle, take lots of naps and walk on a leash, and is good with other small dogs and cats. Wish upon a star, Lulu. Maybe soon.

Update: Lulu is in a trial home.

Can you even resist those eyes? Wally is a Welsh Corgi/Chihuahua mix about 5 years old. Don’t let that gray muzzle make you think this guy is a senior. He is full of energy and love. Open a car door, he’s in. Grab the leash, he’s ready. Great with cats and other dogs, big or small. Be sure of this — his fav is on your lap or anywhere you are. Wally needs a secure, fence area and a forever human who will miss him as much as he misses you.

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

Creature corner is sponsored in Memory of Queenie Stonehill this week. To sponsor the column, call Lisa Streeter at the Town Crier, 951-659-2145.
