PET OF THE WEEK - ADOPTED MAY 30, 2008

Hi - I'm TAKIA. I like to think that I'm a no-nonsense gal who won't take anything from anyone with an attitude. I love my belly rubs and playing with my toys. Come see me in the cat room at Petsmart in Christiansburg. I'm spayed and FIV/FeLV negative. If you're interested call 674-0089. You can also e-mail or you can visit the PCHS website or Animal Control website to see the many kittens, puppies and all breeds of dogs - all in need of good, loving homes.

I'm one lucky gal - I'm on my way home today.

PET OF THE WEEK - TO RESCUE MAY 10, 2008

SNOW and OREO - We're 18 month old German Shorthair Pointer mixes. We're both neutered, full of fun energy and very eager to learn. We need a lot of room to run and play and would love to go for long walks or run by your side as you jog. If you're interested call 674-0089 or visit 1-5pm M-F and 10-2 on Saturdays. You can also e-mail or you can visit the PCHS website or Animal Control website to see the many kittens, puppies and all breeds of dogs - all in need of good, loving homes.

We're lucky fella's - we went to a wonderful rescue on May 10, 2008. Each of us is in a fantastic foster home with hopes of being adopted very soon.

Fun and Frolic at PetSmart

FUN AND FROLIC AT PETSMART

by Chatty Catty

Christiansburg PetSmart was rockin' and rollin' today with new Condo Pulaski residents and some visitors from the Pulaski Shelter Kennel Spa. Monty, the gorgeous lots-o'-dots Aussie mix and Gretchen, the sleek svelte Basenji mix spent hours and hours tumbling, wrestling and chewing on each other, entertaining volunteers and shoppers alike. Several times Gretchen was caught gnawing on Monty's cheek while he patiently waited for her to finish. The two Walker pups Thelma and Louise serenaded, bounced and pounced, using each other as pillows during resting periods. Josie spent the day cuddling with whoever happened to have a handy lap. The Kennel Spa kids throughly enjoyed their outing and attracted lots of attention.

Sara, one of the Maiden Voyage Group, went to her forever home today, thrilled with how she so thoroughly had her new owners enthralled. Silent Screen Star and Jet Pack Kali took her place. Four kittens also moved in, sparkling eyes eliciting many oohs and ahhs from vistors. Two left within hours, anxious to meet their new families.

Meantime, back at Condo Pulaski, Missy continues to sing her siren song to JD, who is beginning to weaken in his curmudgeonly vows. After sneaking a peek around the room to make sure no one was watching he actually gave Missy a quick slurp on the ear. Prince and Ariel have decided to remain just friends for now, taking it slow and hanging around together at Under the Condo Bar and Grill.

Tigger has been reunited with his brothers Lucky and Oliver, and the three tabbies are loving slinking, sliding and having races up the staircase and through the Condo Lane Tunnel. So far, Lucky is in the lead, but Tigger is demanding a review of the racing footage, claiming Oliver illegally hogged the inside track and forced Tigger into the outside lane and up against the wall, drifting him behind Lucky on the third lap.

New residents are on the waiting list and should be moving into Condo Pulaski sometime this week. Things promise to get interesting when these three saunter into the neighborhood!

Bon Voyage!

BON VOYAGE!

by Chatty Catty

Well, Chatty Catty was so excited Friday night she almost didn't make it to the litterbox! Four friends from Condo Pulaski have traveled to Christiansburg PetSmart to model their wonderful personalities and be adopted into forever homes. Sara, the Petite Primadonna, Takia, the no-nonsense gal, Darst, the wonderful patient patient, and Neeko, big bold boy were the front-runners for the inaugural stay at Christiansburg PetSmart. A handful of volunteers showed for training. Just think: If the 80 people who have signed up actually went and helped, NO ONE would have to do it more than once a month. Have you so little time to spare?? Imagine - only one or two hours a month and you can be filled with joy and satisfaction that a shelter cat got adopted instead of the horrible alternative! We couldn't do it without you and your commitment to LIFE!

RESCUE WAGGIN - NEW YORK BOUND

This morning, 21 Pulaski Shelter dogs were transported to Lollypop Farm in NY on the Petsmart Rescue Waggin. A range of little dogs, big dogs, and 1 mom and her 9 pups! Jane, Barb, and Rebecca have loading down to a science. 21 dogs in 1 hour! WOW.

It's hard to believe that we still have 60 dogs at the shelter or in foster care that need homes! There are 12 – 6-7 week old puppies… along with some really sweet adult dogs that often get overlooked because of the puppies. If you are interested in adopting a dog, the time is right ! At the shelter right now are these two 18 month old German Shorthair Pointer's who are neutered and just waiting for the right home. They're still puppies at heart!Oreo and Snow would love a big yard or someone to jog with.

Many thanks to our Rescue Waggin Team – Deanna, Barb, Jane, Bill, Keely, Judith, Jen W., Julie R., Tonya, Jennifer, Jennie, Mary, Judith, Animal Control, and our Trustees. Without each of you, this would not be possible. THANK YOU for saving these lives. It definitely increases the chance of a remaining dog to find a loving home locally.
