Creature Corner: April 2, 2015

Griffin
Griffin

Well, that didn’t take long. Sydney, the black Lab, is already off to a new adventure with a new pack, and acres to run and play in. Paws up to you.

Now it’s your turn, Griffin. A young male terrier with an old soul, Griffin is learning all of the tricks: sit, stay, potty training and leash training. We did not have to teach Griffin how to capture our heart and make us fall in love with him, though. He loves to play ball, enjoys company, and is good with other canines and felines. Not a barker. He’s a pint-sized guy, about 10 pounds. Be prepared to have your heart stolen if you come visit. Oh, and he absolutely loves to sit in the sun.

Buddy is a 3-year-old young husky/shepherd-mix. Such a sweet boy and so eager to learn. Bring a leash and take a stroll with this guy. Or even better, he would love a ride in the car. He loves to play, enjoys children and adults, but is not too keen on the feline crowd.

Tommy is in his favorite spot, lounging in the sun in the outdoor cattery. Yes, he’s a big boy, but so gentle. He often can be found napping with one eye open, always checking out the birds. He is about 3 years old, very mellow with other felines and OK with dogs, and loves humans.

We also have Mr. Grey, Mrs. Magoo, Whiskers and Pepper.

We have several dogs on our website available through assisted adoption.

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. 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 in memory of “Hootch,” a long-time and continuing inspiration for Creature Corner.
