Creature Corner: March 28, 2013

Oreo and Sandy

Oreo and Sandy
Welcome back to Sandy, our sun goddess. Things don’t always work out the first time, so she’s back to share the sun with Oreo at ARF. Such a confident little girl, she prefers to soak up the rays, while Oreo and Shannon have playtime. Sandy is a young Chihuahua mix. She is good with other canines and felines. And she will always greet you with her favorite stuffed toy in her mouth.

Oreo is a young male Boston terrier-Chihuahua mix that loves to twirl and dance. He is good with other dogs, and doesn’t even mind the feline crowd. Oreo was abandoned in his front yard as his people moved away. That’s all in the past. though. He absolutely will love to sit in your lap, or be in your arms. Favorite treat: Pepperoni sticks.

Shannon
Shannon is a middle-aged female Chihuahua. She was found wandering in Hemet, and after searching, we couldn’t find her owner. She also loves the sun, and to have fun. She is playful with Oreo and Sandy. Not a fan of the feline crowd. though. She will sit for hours in your lap. Bring your purse, cause she will fit right in.

She’s the diva of the cattery, Miss Jezabelle. Imagine that sitting in your window, curling up around a sun ray.

Add Heidi, Meow Meow and Clarence and you have a roomful of purrs and fur-love. March is two-for-one month. Yes, double the love. Adopt one furball and you get another as a friend.

Senior Fun Day is noon to 2 p.m. March 27. Come on in to enjoy treats for humans and four-leggeds, and get your furry fix.
