Creature corner: June 12, 2014

Mama Pepper knew just what she was doing as she greeted each visitor with a melody, along with being the friendliest cat in the cattery. That all adds up to watching her tail go right out the door and into her new home. She came to us with a litter of babies, and was fostered by some very special people until the kittens were all adopted. And then Mama Pepper came to ARF. She now has a new family, a new name and a mellow canine to call her own.

Lord Archibald and Lady Arabella

Archie in the white and Bella in the black are training hard every day to make someone very proud. They may be adopted separately or together. Both are between 3 and 4 years old. They are excellent in the car and great on the leash. They enjoy having their hair brushed, treats and just looking pretty. Even though Archie is male, he’s pretty handsome. Call ARF to see them.

Pinkie is still searching for her perfect home. She’s great with humans, is a little inquisitive with the felines and would probably enjoy being the only canine. She is not a barker, and when she does, it’s a very quiet bark. Pinkie needs room to run. That is her greatest love — and her orange cong toy filled with treats. She has great manners in the house, absolutely loves rides in the car and will sit at your feet for hours if you let her.

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

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 Linda Adams, this week. To sponsor the column, call Lisa Streeter at the Town Crier, 951-659-2145.
