Creature Corner: October 9, 2014

Four furry paws up to Tigger, the tiger-striped kitten, for purring his way into a forever home. And a bow wow and woof to Lola, our Chihuahua. She has wagged her way right into a ranch with horses in Colorado to live the rest of her long life with the best Mom ever.

Tammy
Tammy

Doggy match time: I want a dog that …

1. Is quiet. 2. Is a lap sitter. 3. Is house trained. 4. Doesn’t bark. 5. Is small. 6. Is adorable. 7. Did I mention a non barker? 8. Loves to ride in the car and walk. Check, check. Check. Tammy is the dog for you. You will be hard-pressed to find any fault with this adorable little girl. Tammy is 3 to 5 years old. She loves to cuddle and take walks, and will bring you a lifetime of joy. Anyone with a heart full of love as big as Tammy’s?

Archie
Archie

This young guy is absolutely ready for some snow. Archie is a miniature Alaskan Eskimo with maybe some Schipperke thrown in. He loves to walk, go for rides in the car and be near his forever human. Archie needs a balanced, quiet home with someone who will love him throughout all the seasons.

We have several adult cats in our cattery, too. 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.

This week, Creature Corner is sponsored by Alex and Lorna Zukas. To sponsor the column, call Lisa Streeter at the Town Crier, 951-659-2145.
