Akron, OH - Cat needs adopted/rescued URGENT!

This beautiful cat is located at the Summit County Animal Control Facility in Akron, Ohio. She's been there since Feb. 12, so her time is running out!!! She is a small adult female. She looks EXACTLY like my beloved cat, Hermie. I find it so odd that she is also very small for an adult cat, just like my kitty. I am begging for somebody to adopt her or for a rescue to pull her and give her a second chance!

Her adoption fee is only $60.00 and she will be up to date on shots and spayed!

Her animal ID # (that you will need to reference if interested in her) is C02-027.

If someone can help this girl, please contact the Summit County Animal Control at 330-643-2845 AND email cfatheree@summitoh.net.

March is Adopt a Rescued Guinea Pig Month!

March is National Adopt a Rescued Guinea Pig Month, sponsored by Petfinder.com. When most people think about adopting rescue animals, small pets like the guinea pig don't often come to mind. In truth, there are many guinea pigs in rescues all across the country, waiting for the perfect home. Maybe you could give a needy guinea pig a loving furever home.

If you still need some convincing, here are the top 10 reasons to adopt a guinea pig, from the Wisconsin Humane Society:

1. "With all the cute, furry guinea pigs to be adopted, you can always find the perfect match."? Victoria Wellens, Executive Director

2. "Guinea pigs are great outlets for giving and receiving affection. Their love is unconditional, non-judging and noncompetitive."? Dezarae Jones Hartwig, Education Manager

3. "All of the guinea pigs at WHS have been spayed or neutered, microchipped, given initial vaccinations and received a health exam."? Dr. Randal Zeman, Veterinary Manager

4. "For children, companion animals can encourage feelings of empathy that may be transferred to people."? Jill DeGrave, Education Director

5. "The cost to adopt a guinea pig is only $5."? Kaye Finne, Project Coordinator

6. "Guinea pigs are natural entertainers. They bring on smiles and laughter, and help to alleviate stress."? Laura Lueck, Education Manager

7. "Volunteers socialize our guinea pigs every day, which means we can offer plenty of useful information about each animal's personality to potential adopters."? Ashley Hardin, Volunteer Coordinator

8. "All guinea pigs come with two months free Shelter Care health insurance." ? Dr. Jeff Banwart, Veterinarian

9. "You only have to make one stop. You can pick up all of the supplies needed for your new friend at Animal Antics, located in the Wisconsin Humane Society."? Michele Tegen, Retail Supervisor

10. "You don't have to take a guinea pig outside in the middle of the night."? Stacy Juedes, Counseling Services Manager

And, if you're already a guinea pig parent, why not consider getting one of these shirts to show your love and support the species:

Durbin, WV - Sweet senior dog needs rescue/adopt URGENT!

This sweet dog is Elijah. He will die this week if not pulled by a rescue or adopted by a loving individual/family. He's been at the shelter a "long time" and his time is running out! Elijah is a very special senior boy, who is in desperate need of finding a loving forever home, rescue or even a sanctuary that will take him in and allow him to live out the rest of his life in great comfort. Elijah would love to have a nice warm bed to lay his weary bones down on and belly rubs would be a plus! Elijah is very friendly and wants nothing more than to be in a home with someone who will love him back. If you can be that person and open up your home to him, please contact the shelter immediately.

Visit Elijah's Petfinder page.

Elijah is located at the Pocahontas County Animal Control and Humane Office in Durbin, West Virginia.

If you are interested in rescuing or adopting Elijah, please contact the shelter immediately:

Easton, PA - Lovely dog in search of furever home!

This beautiful girl is Cordelia, a 4-5 year old Shepherd/Lab mix. Cordelia is currently in foster care because she does not do well with life at the kennel. In a home, she is a quiet, calm dog who is very attentive and eager to please. She may display some anxiety over being left alone, but it's nothing that can't be worked on. She bonds quickly with her caretakers and would be a most loyal friend.

She walks wonderfully on a leash, she's housebroken, and crate trained. She gets along with most other dogs (and it helps her to be alone at home if she has a canine companion) but she cannot go to a home with cats. She's so sweet and desperately desiring the consistency of a permanent home and family!

She's currently living with 3 kids over the age of 9 and is doing well. However, she won't be placed with anyone under the age of 13.

Cordelia is in foster care through The Center for Animal Health and Welfare in Easton, PA. The shelter is located in Northeast Pennsylvania (Nazareth, Easton, Bethlehem area), but the adoption doesn't necessarily need to be local.

If you are interested in meeting and possibly adopting Cordelia, please contact Nellie:

February is Adopt-a-Rescued Rabbit Month!

February is Adopt-a-Rescued rabbit month, so what are you waiting for? There are over 6300 homeless rabbits available on Petfinder.com right now! But please keep in mind, a rabbit isn't for everyone.

House Rabbit Society president Kathleen Wilsbach says:

"The ideal 'rabbit person,' in addition to being calm, patient and eager to get to know a rabbit on his own terms, must be willing to rabbit-proof an appropriate exercise area in the home to prevent damage from chewing."

So, if you think you fit the bill, but you want more information? Visit 3 Bunnies Rabbit Rescue for great resources and information on rabbits and rabbit adoption.

London, Ontario - Dog needs foster/rescue/adopt URGENT!

Orlando, FL - Dog needs rescue/adoption ASAP!

This is Scarface. What an unfit name for such a sweet dog! Scarface is a 1 year old brindle and white male Pit Bull mix. According to workers, he's so happy and full of life! He seems to LOVE everyone! He walks very well on a leash and would make a great companion for anyone, including single people or families! He was originally listed as fearful and seemed somewhat shy, but once he was able to come out and play, he was literally bouncing and prancing around the yard, enjoying play time with humans and other dogs. He is housebroken.

Scarface's last day was supposed to be Thursday, January 22; however, because a rescue worker likes him so much, they've managed to extend his time to this Saturday, January 24th. If not adopted or pulled by a rescue group by this time, he will be euthanized.

$200 has been donated to cover the cost of his heartworm treatment, because he unfortunately tested positive. This can and will be fixed with the treatment this donation will provide, if only someone will save him from death first.

Scarface is located at the Orange County Animal Services in Orlando, FL. TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE FOR THE DOG MIGHT BE AVAILABLE! Please contact the below email addresses as well as Debra.Villella@ocfl.net if you are not from the immediate area and would like to save this boy. I have a link to rescue transport services and groups on the left hand side of the blog.

Remember, even if you cannot physically help Scarface, you can help by passing this on to someone else.

Orlando, FL - Dogs, puppies need adopt/rescue URGENT!

Animal ID: A127783 Room No.: WD43

Hi, my name is Scar face. I am an approximately 1 year 2 month old brown and black brindle male Pit Bull-Mix. I am listed as shy and was very fearful at first. Once the shelter workers started playing with me, I was bouncing and prancing around the yard! The workers say I'm always smiling and seem like a really nice dog! Wouldn't you like to be my playmate and make me smile? I'm housebroken and walk great on a leash!

Animal ID: A127809 Room No.: WD53

Hi, I am an approximately 5 month old black and white male Pit Bull-Mix. I'm a sweet, playful pup! Please give me the chance to grow big and strong...and to know what it feels like to be loved. The workers here say I'm pretty laid back for a puppy, a little on the shy side. I just need some TLC. They also say I have tons of potential! I'm housebroken and walk on the leash well.

Animal ID: A127683 Room No.: WD36

Hi, I'm Trina, a 2-year-old female black and white Labrador Retriever. I am shy, but once I spend a little time with you, I cling to your side and don't want to be away from you. It's very apparent that I want to be a good girl, if someone would just show me what they want. I need an understanding home that's full of TLC. I will be a loyal companion forever.

These dogs are located at Orange County Animal Services in Orlando, Florida. Their time is VERY LIMITED. Their last day is Tuesday, January 20th.

Akron, OH - My foster kittens need forever home(s)!

These are my three beautiful, playful, and amazing foster kittens. I rescued them from underneath my neighbor's porch. They had been left to live outside through the snow and below freezing temperatures, being fed nothing but human table scraps! Last summer I rescued their siblings, their mother's previous litter. I can tell you that while this mother cat has had the misfortune of living outside 24/7 and not being spayed, she has produced some wonderful litters of kittens!

These little guys are about 3 months old. They've been to the vet, received all of their routine shots, been dewormed, and now have a clean bill of health! They will be neutered once they are old enough (the vet waits until their are at least 4 months old). I am fostering them through a no-kill, non-profit rescue that will pay for the kittens' spay/neuter.

The black kitten is Daisy. She's sort of the leader of the pack. Daisy is almost always the one to instigate something! She's very curious and adventurous. She's also a huge love bug! Her purr sounds like a motorboat, and you don't even have to touch her to get it going! Yet, she rather play with you or lay next to you than be held on your lap or in your arms.

The gray kitten is Matilda. She's the shy, quiet one of the group, but don't let that fool you. She can play and tumble like the best of them! If you're gentle with her, you'll have her purring in no time! She's also more than willing to lay in somebody's arms.

The long-haired kitten is Simba. He's the bodyguard of the group and also happens to think of himself as a little lion. He's very easy to hold in your arms when he's not tumbling and rolling around on the ground! He enjoys play, but I believe he'll grow into the ultimate lap cat! He puts on a brave, strong front, but I think he just wants a a super plush kitty bed, plenty of toys, and a lifetime supply of kitty treats.

Daisy, Matilda, and Simba are the ultimate feline three musketeers! They're a wonderful team and I believe they find comfort and confidence in one another. They have only been with me for a week, which has been their first experience with such close human contact. They are not feral cats. They are very friendly, but they can be a bit shy at times, especially with new people, new setting, and new situations. I believe the reason they have flourished so well within the last 7 days is because they have had each other. It would be my dream to find them a wonderful home together. I realize that this might not be possible, but I am asking that if anyone has the room in their heart and home for this wonderful troop to please consider adopting all three, or at least two. If one is left, I might adopt him or her, as their older sister would sure love a forever playmate!

The rescue is based in the Akron area, but I can adopt the kittens to surrounding Northeast Ohio area.

If you are interested in learning more about Daisy, Matilda, and/or Simba and possibly adopting them, please contact me at afurryfriend@gmail.com

Meriden, CT - Cat in need of foster ASAP!

This is Solider, a semi-feral cat that has been living at the Meriden Humane Society in Meriden, Connecticut since he was 9 weeks old. I say semi-feral since he has been in contact with humans from a young age and is not completely wild. He is simply rather scared of people and needs someone to work with him on this. He is part of a "troop" of cats that was abandoned at the shelter a year ago.
Soldier adores other cats, but he is terribly frightened of most people. The shelter staff has been working with him very hard. Those working with him want to emphasize that just because Soldier is scared, this doesn't mean he isn't a good cat. He will let people pet him and every once and a while he'll even push his head up into your hand, demanding a pet! He also loves Chicken & Shrimp Meow Mix cups. The worker who contacted me about Soldier says that out of the over 100 cats currently at the shelter, Soldier is by far her favorite.

Soldier should only go to a home with adults or older children and teenagers who can understand Soldier's special needs at the moment. He should also only go to a dog-free household. A dog would probably terrify poor Soldier so much that he would hide and never come out. It would also be nice if he had a single room or area to stay in at first, rather than the entire house. This will reduce the places he can hide and also keep from overwhelming him too much.
Solider is in need of an understanding person who realizes he is scared and will give him the love he deserves and appreciate his independence. Soldier will need a quiet home where there are limited places for him to hide. He needs to go somewhere that is quiet and comfortable, so that he may gain his confidence with people.

Soldier is up-to-date with routine shots, neutered, and house trained.

He currently does not have the best litterbox habits. This is believed to be a side effect of his weight loss, which is a result of his constant physical activity in the cat room! He tends to go wherever he is sitting; however, he usually urinates in the litterbox.

The shelter will pay for food, litter, and vet expenses. They will also provide food dishes and litter boxes, if needed.

Foster families can be from any distance that can be comfortably driven. The shelter wants to be close enough in case he Solider needs to be returned or if there is an emergency; yet, for the most part, any distance a foster family is willing to drive is acceptable.

Anyone interested in more information on Soldier can contact the Meriden Humane Society:

Phone: (203) 238-3650

Email: meridensociety@sbcglobal.net.

They can also email foster applications if anyone is coming from a distance and would like to get an application in before making the trip. (Obviously they won't force anyone to take him just because they put in an application. It's entirely non-binding.)
