Miss Feather

By Mimi & Hooch

Found: Male dog in Hurkey Creek area. Call ARF to identify, (951) 659-1122.

Look what the wind blew in! Weighing about five pounds, you’ll never even know she’s on your lap. Introducing Miss Feather who was found wandering on Highway 243. Quite the agile girl, she is young, energetic, loving and full of tricks. We believe she is a powder puff Chinese crested mix. We know she is just a sweetheart.

Miss Feather
Boo is looking for you! This 1-1⁄2-year-old Chiweenie is pure love on the end of your leash. Another good lap dog, Boo will need a secure yard to play in. Friendly with dogs, cats and kids. He will be a great lifetime friend.

Boo
Nellie is our senior resident. Abandoned in the ARF yard, she is a 7-year-old papillon mix. Good with dogs, cats and people, she prefers to look pretty on her special pillow. She’ll sing for her supper, and give a bark when its time to go outside. Great on the leash, too.

Reily
Reily’s bags are packed, bones included, and she is ready to go. A true hikers dream, Reily has great energy on the trail, and on a leash. Hide and seek is her favorite game whether it’s a rock or her favorite toy. Reily’s focus comes naturally, and everything else she learns is just gravy — in the bowl, that is.

Spit and Fire, the Girl Scout kitties are still available as is Blackjack, the male tux, and Polly, the polydactyl.

We are desperately in need of foster homes for our four-leggeds while they wait for their forever homes.

ARF has many cats and dogs available for adoption or fostering. Go to www.idyllwildarf.org and click on Petfinder. All pets are spayed, neutered, and current on shots. ARF is open on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Call for appointment on any other day at (951)659-1122. Email and donation opportunities are at www.idyllwildarf.org or email arf@greencafe.com.

Creature corner is sponsored this week by Brent Skean. To sponsor the column, call Shane Fender at the Town Crier, 659-2145.
