My name is Castille and I m a 3-year-old Lab mix boy who would love to be part of your family! I m an easy-going, laidback kind of guy who is content snuggling in your lap in front of the TV all evening. I also love playtime and exploring outdoors. I am awesome on a leash! No pulling from me. Another fave of mine is stuffed toys. I throw them in the air and prance around. I also adore nylabones. More great news: I m house-trained, friendly to all people and I can sit on command. I m great with dogs of all sizes and I behave nicely with cats who are accustomed to dogs. If you d like to adopt me, please call Coastal Animal Rescue Effort (C.A.R.E.) at 910-256-2624.

Adoption Options We are all from different Animal Rescues. Please read our stories! COLUMBUS HUMANE SOCIETY My name is Moxie and I am a bit of an enigma. Although I was found as a stray and am heartworm positive (the sure sign of a dog who lived an outdoor life), I marched right into my foster home, full of other dogs with seniority, and plopped my happy self on the humans' bed. Now, that's MOXIE! I m a 1½-year-old, spayed Boxer mix who is 34 pounds, gentle and sweet. I have mastered housetraining and I m doing very well with dogs and humans. Contact my foster mom, Jennifer, at 910-619-3015 or email jdw7512@yahoo.com and tell her you want MOXIE! 4 PAW LIFESAVER RESCUE My name is Kingston and I m a 2-year-old boy who weighs 60 pounds. I love other dogs a lot and I m even good with cats and kids. A long time ago some people took me and my siblings away from my mom and left us in a field. It was really scary. My siblings were all adopted except me and while I love living with my foster fur-siblings and my foster mom, all I really want is my own home and family. I really am a wonderful dog! I am house-trained, good on a leash, know basic commands, and I m good in the car. I am fully vetted, microchipped, and heartworm negative. To adopt me, email 4pawlifesaver@suddenlink.net or call 252-531-0744. ONSLOW PARTNERS FOR ANIMAL WELFARE My name is Cash and I am a gorgeous, sweet boy at 11-months of age and 57 pounds. My owner relocated out of state so my foster mom is helping me to find a new home. I am neutered, up to date on vaccinations, on all preventatives, heartworm negative and I m a very quick learner who knows basic commands. I am good with other dogs and children and I m laid back and gentle. Call 484-883-3552 or visit www.oc-paw.com to fill out an adoption application. OPERATION TOPCAT My name is Pixie and I m a sweet, brown Tabby who is approximately 1½years-old. My owner surrendered me to Animal Services and Operation Topcat took me in when my time had run out. I m a little shy but I m quickly coming out of my shell. I love to be scratched and purr all the time. I get along with other cats and I m looking for a quiet, safe, and loving forever home. I would probably do ok with a quiet dog but not toddlers. If you are interested in me and would like to find out more about me, please email otopcatnc@aol.com or call 910-200-0612.

I was returned when my family no longer wanted me. I can't explain to my foster mom what happened while I was living at my other home but I am afraid of heavy shoes/boots. I had a difficult time transitioning to my foster home because I needed to learn that it was okay to trust someone again. Once I trust you, I am very sweet. I love to have my foster mom scratch my neck and back. I follow her around the house because I am interested in everything she does. I would love a home with a patient family and lots of love. I have lots of love to give and I am worth it. To learn more about me, please call 910-330-1376 or email debbiebaldwin@hotmail.com.

CAPE FEAR RESCUE LEAGUE Hi, my name is Red and I am looking for a family to love! I'm a 6-year-old Boxer mix and I'm neutered, up to date on all of my shots, heartworm free, crate and house-trained and my best buddy is a kitty cat. I love being around everyone (men and women), children of all ages, and other dogs. I'm currently in a foster home with a female Great Dane and a kitty cat, and we all get along great! I would be the perfect companion for anyone who is able to take their canine family members to work with them...i just love being around everyone! I was picked up as stray by Pender County Animal Control. My history is unknown, but it's certain that I was once someone's family member, since I'm completely house, crate, and leashtrained and I know tricks and commands. I may not be the shiny, bouncy puppy that everyone seems to want but I am a well-behaved and kind gentleman who has impeccable manners. I want a family of my own so much. I can't wait to shower them with love. Please, won't you give me a chance? To adopt me, call 910-207-2071. October 2014 www.facebook.com/pawprintsmagazine 9
I m a big, cuddly boy named Otis and I need a loving home. You see, my owner went to Heaven and I sure do miss being part of a family. I m extremely affectionate and I welcome attention, whether it s kisses, lap-time or cuddles. I get along great with all the other cats in the playroom - there simply is not a mean bone in my body. All I want is love, and when the humans leave the playroom I stand at the glass door, looking at them, hoping they ll come back soon. Won t you give me the family environment I m longing for? I m in great health: neutered, vaccinated and litterbox-trained. All I need is a human companion to make me happy again. Come on over to Pender Humane Society and let s fall in love!

Please call 910-392-0557 to adopt us! Adopt-An-ANGEL Hello there! My name is Armstrong and I am a very good boy. I am happy and exuberant. I seem to do well with other dogs but I m just not too fond of cats. I enjoy having fun and I love to pull my foster mom on a skateboard or run alongside a bike. I love to play, but I am really calm inside a house. If you are active people, I would even do well in an apartment. I am neutered, heartworm negative, vaccinated and weigh around 50 to 60 pounds. My name is Stella! I am a very sweet girl who is great with other animals. I love cats and dogs, but I am fearful of small kids so it would be best if I went to a home without them. I received a clean bill of health, I am housetrained and I m mid-sized at about 40 to 50 pounds. I sit, shake and roll over so I am very smart and eager to please. My name is Clemson and I am a beautiful boy who will melt your heart. I am loving and I love to play. I will be a great addition to some lucky family. I am really good with cats, dogs and even kids, too. I love to be touched and stroked and I just cannot get enough petting. I am super friendly and pretty smart. If you would like to know more about me or would like to inquire about the adoption process, please call 910-392-0557. You may also visit www.adoptanangel.net for more details. My name is Bo, and if I do say so myself, I am drop dead gorgeous!! I have deep chocolate fur that is almost black. I am a dream on a leash, have excellent manners and am super easy. I do well with other dogs and I am house-trained. I weigh about 55 pounds so I am a mid-sized family dog who is already fixed and vaccinated. My name is Kirby and I am a little shy. I would benefit from being adopted into a home with another wellbalanced dog. I am young enough that I will overcome this if you ll be patient and give me TLC and socialization. I am just 8-months old and will probably grow to be only 50 pounds at most. I also need a quiet home without small kids (who can be noisy at times). I am absolutely beautiful with my pretty golden fur. My name is Belle and I am a vision-impaired Black Lab/Pit mix who is homeless. I ve had a rough life so far, having lived my life in a junk yard, but you can help change that. I can t see very well so I can't find my family. Please share your eyes with me and help me. I cannot see out of one eye and I only see shadows out of my other. I am a gentle, funny, easy dog who gets along with cats and dogs. I do need a patient, stable, quiet family because of my rough start. I need someone who doesn t have a lot of company in and out. I like to carry tennis balls and hoard toys! I am house-trained, fixed, vaccinated and heartworm negative. P.O. Box 15095, Wilmington, NC 28408 http://www.adoptanangel.net October 2014 www.facebook.com/pawprintsmagazine 11

Please call 910-253-1375 to adopt us! Cat Tails I m named after the Oscar winner of 2014, Lupita, and you know how beautiful she is. Does that give you a hint how gorgeous I must be? I am just 5-months-old, and have very unusual colored longhair and wonderful tufted ears. If I were a guy, this much ear hair would be gross, but I m a cat so it s cute. I love to play and want attention on my terms. If you want a cat who should be on People s most beautiful list, for sure I am that cat. I m Maximilian and I m a solid white boy with green eyes. I m just 6-months-old and the last kitten left in my litter. Everyone else found a forever home and now it s my turn. I m quiet, a little shy and very sweet. I m into serious snuggling - like if you sit down, I m in your lap. My friends call me Cupcake and I m the last of my litter (we were all fostered at a bakery, hence the name). I m a gray Tabby girl who is 19-monthsold. At times I can be a little shy and nervous but I m very friendly when I get to know you. I m very playful and go nuts for the laser pointer. My name is Dawn and I m an 8-month-old female Tabby with a lot of white. I love attention and I m very much a people cat. I ve already been spayed and vaccinated so I m ready to go home with you today! My name is Natasha and I m a 7-month-old girl who is white with patches of brown Tabby. I m a very sweet cat who loves people and getting attention. I get along well with other cats. I have already been spayed and I m current on vaccinations. My name is Aster and I m almost 2-years-old. I m an orange Tabby girl who may come across shy until we get to know each other. I m very petite and I love to lay in front of a window. I ve already been spayed and I m current on vaccinations, too. Where s my tail? That s what I keep asking. You see, I have some Manx in me which means I have no tail. But I don t care, less to clean I say. I m Washington and I am a 6-month-old gray Tabby boy who is fixed and vaccinated. If you want someone to play with you and to snuggle, I am the perfect match. No need to sign up at match.com, you found the purrfect match right here! My name is Monkey and I m a 6-year-old Himalayan mix girl. One of my eyes was injured when I was a kitten. It s healed now but I do need you to help me out and occasionally wipe it with a damp cloth. I get along with cats and children and I m quiet and well-behaved. My name is Marigold and I m an 18-month-old pastel Calico girl. I m very sweet, I get along well with cats but I m not too crazy about kittens. I ve already been spayed and I m current on shots, too. 6622 Beach Drive SW, Ocean Isle Beach, NC 28469 www.cattails.org October 2014 www.facebook.com/pawprintsmagazine 17

I do have a mild case of arthritis, but all that means is that I m content to stay in one section of the house - I won t be running everywhere and getting into any trouble.

New Hanover Sheriff s Office Animal Services Unit Please call 910-798-7500 to adopt us! OPEN SATURDAYS! My name is Henry Jr. (A249178) and I m an extremely handsome boy. I m a big guy who is 3-yearsold. I m looking for a new home because my family had to move. Unfortunately, the place they moved to charged too much for me to live there so here I am - sitting in a shelter waiting for you to come make everything better. I m a lover, I m social, I m very cuddly, I like exploring my surroundings and I enjoy being petted. I m an inside-only kitty who is good with children, dogs and other cats. My name is Kitty (A310058) but you can change that if you d like. Just as long as you come sweep me off my paws and take me home with you. I m a 1-year-old, spayed Calico with a beautiful face and gorgeous markings. I m petite, I love to be petted, and I will stand up on my hind legs to push my head into your hand. I m inside-only, litter-trained and good with kids. It s not fair - I m homeless through no fault of my own. My name is Izzy (A309003) and I don t enjoy life here at the shelter. It s so overwhelming to me. I want to be in a home again - enjoying everyday, playing with toys and pouncing on them, being loved on and cuddled, and giving sandpaper kisses. I m vaccinated, spayed and ready to go home with you right this minute! My name is Pepper (A309351) and I m a mixed breed girl. I m just 10- months-old and I enjoy feeling loved and being in the great outdoors. I m a happy dog with a sweet personality. I like body rubs, I m good on a leash and I know how to sit for treats. I ll even take them gently from your fingers. I m very eager to move into a safe home with a family of my own to love. Please come save me. You would think after loving my family for 13-years, finding a new home wouldn t be on my daily list of chores. Well, it is and I was abandoned in a Rubbermaid bin. My name is Stormy (A308904) and I m an inside-only, super friendly, big girl who loves neck and chin scratches. I m purry and very eager to make you feel loved. I promise to greet you like we re long lost friends. Remember: One thing that never slows down in a senior pet is their capacity for love - and I m suuuper loving. I will roll over, get up and rub against your legs and finish it out by nuzzling into your hand. When I was surrendered to the shelter, I was extremely thin. I ve been eating the good food here and I m on my way back to my ideal weight. I m Mack (A310559) and I m a Yellow Labrador who s a great kisser. I m a good boy, and I know how to sit, shake and lay down on command. I m eager to please and want nothing more in this world than to feel loved and to return that love. 180 Division Dr. Wilmington, NC 28401 www.petfinder.com/shelters/nc700.html October 2014 www.facebook.com/pawprintsmagazine 21

Hello there, my name is Pepper! I have a sad story to tell you, but I m sure one day the ending will be a happy one! You see, I was found abandoned in a ditch in Hampstead. When I got to the vet s office, they discovered that I am also blind. But wait! Just like they say, there is a silver lining to every cloud. Mine is that I can still see shadows and I can walk around just fine. I tilt my head in order to see better and sense what s around me. I am a very sweet boy who absolutely loves all people. I do well with other dogs, too (girls especially), as long as we are introduced slowly. In fact, I would probably benefit from another dog in the home to act as my seeing eye dog. I am young, between 12 and 18-months-old, and I weigh 40 pounds. Please contact Pender Humane Society if you are interested in adopting me! Their number is 910-259-7022. I am sponsored by Top Toad in the Cotton Exchange in Downtown Wilmington, NC. Thank you!
My name is Kibby and I am a sassy little Calico. I love to play and have fun. I will let you pet me and fall in love with me - then I can drop you like a hot potato in true ultimate cat fashion. I am the cat for the true cat fancier. Have you ever met one like me? Calicos and Torties tend to have the reputation I am talking about and I am as true to that reputation as they come. I need a servant who will feed me, admire me and pet me some times, but understand I have moods. I may love you one minute and blow you off the next. Do you think there is someone out there who can accommodate my needs? If you would like to know more about me, give Adopt-An-ANGEL a call at 910-392-0557. I am sponsored by Perry Davis. Thank you! URGENT, URGENT! My Time Is Running Out! My name is Mama (A013445) and I m feeling a bit overwhelmed. Does it show in my sad face? I am not used to being in a kennel, surrounded by other dogs. For some reason, my owner didn t want me anymore and brought me to the shelter. I m a 4-year-old white Boxer mix girl who would desperately love to be part of a family again. I ve shown no aggression to any of the staff or the other animals; I just seem confused as to why I m here! I hope you ll come visit and get to know me. But please hurry - there are just too many dogs arriving at the shelter and not enough kennels to hold us all. My adoption fee includes Distemper/Parvo vaccine, Kennel Cough vaccine, Rabies Vaccine, deworming, 30 day flea/tick treatment and my spay surgery. The shelter is now open on Sundays, from 1pm to 4pm, in case you can t come during the week. It s also open on Saturdays from Noon to 4pm. For more information, please call Pender County Animal Shelter at 910-259-1484 or email jhorton@pendercountync.gov. Thanks for reading my story! I am sponsored in appreciation of everyone who has rescued a homeless animal.
PAW S Place Please call 910-845-7297 to adopt us! (Call for a pre-adoption application and adoption fee info.) It s me, Tybee. I wish I could figure out how to get people to consider me for adoption. I've been here at Paw s Place for quite some time, and it hurts to see other dogs come and go. We know that I used to get along with cats and while I get along with dogs here, we would have to have a meet and greet if you have another dog. I can be a little shy when you first come to my kennel, but I'm a very loving and loyal senior dog. One of my favorite things to do is to be walked on a leash. Please come to Paw s Place and get to know me! Get your tickets for Raise the Ruff October 10 www.pawsplace.org/raisetheruff Hi, I m Ruger! I m a male Lab mix, about 4-years-old. I recently spent time in a foster home and went to dog training. Yeah! I graduated with a certificate! I walk very well on a leash and know how to sit and shake. But most of all, I want to be with people. I m at Paw s Place and you can come visit me any day from 9-Noon. Tell them you saw me here! I m a Belgian Malinois mix and my name is Sagan. I m a 6-monthold puppy who likes to be active. After all, I am a herding dog! In other words, I do have a lot of energy. A good amount of exercise (although we should wait until I m at least a year old before we start running or jogging together) and mental stimulation is what I need. I m friendly and sociable and get along with other animals. We think it would be great if my new family already had experience with dogs. Come out and meet me! Hello there, my name is Sarge! My littermates and I were so lucky that a kind gentleman found us and took us in. We were bottlefed until we could eat on our own. I m a little shy around new dogs, but once I m around them a bit I m fine. I also think I m special because I have two different colored eyes! Oh, I sure hope you like water, because I love it! I am ready for adoption - that means vet visits, shots, neutering and microchipping. Keely is my name and we think I was born at the end of June. I was dropped off in a box on someone s porch and taken to the vet to be checked out. Then I came to Paw s Place! I have been placed with 3 new puppies from the kennel next to mine. We ve already become good friends. I would love to have a family of my own that knows how to raise a puppy. That way I know they will understand my needs. I am already spayed, microchipped and vaccinated. Jeter here I m one of Piper s Puppies. Just about all of my siblings have been adopted. I m being very patient waiting for my turn. I know the right family is out there, we just haven t found each other yet. It sure would be nice to go to a home with another dog so that he or she would show me the ropes. I m used to being around a lot of dogs and am so friendly. Come out to Paw s Place and ask for the handsome brown pup who likes the water! I m ready to go! 3701 Boiling Spring Rd., Winnabow, NC 28479 www.pawsplace.org October 2014 www.facebook.com/pawprintsmagazine 29

I love life and want to enjoy it with you! I ve been a house cat all my life, but my owner recently had to go into a nursing home and I was brought to the shelter.

I have been nursed back to health and I m now ready for someone to love me as much as Adopt-An-ANGEL does. If you would like to know more about me or would like to inquire about the adoption process, please call Adopt-An- ANGEL at 910-392-0557. You may also visit www.adoptanangel.net for more details. I am sponsored by Perry Davis. Thank you! Hi! I am Andy and I was found wandering by a good Samaritan. Luckily, they brought me to C.A.R.E. and, after treatment for heartworms and intestinal parasites, I am healthy as can be and ready to be part of a family. I like kids and other pets and would be your best friend forever. If you would like to donate to C.A.R.E., please to go www.carewilmington.org and click on the donate button.

Please call 910-579-0407 to adopt us! R.A.C.E. (Rescue Animals Community Effort) Hello, my name is Precious and boy, do I live up to my name. I am a gorgeous gold and white, 4-year-old, female Chihuahua. I am pretty much perfect! I am completely vetted and ready for my new home. If you love Chihuahuas you will love me. Hi, I'm Dolly, a very sweet, energetic black and white female Shih Tzu. I was born 3-years ago and adopted by a family who chained me up outside and never gave me any medical care, much less love and attention. Since being rescued, I've bonded very quickly to my foster mom and will do the same with you. I really need a stable environment. Since I had never had vet care, I am blind in one eye and my vision is compromised in the other. I can see out of my somewhat good eye but need patience. If you will take a chance on me, I promise to be your very best friend. I really am a lover. I will need eye drops in my eyes a few times a week. My name is Buddy and I am a very handsome, mature gentleman with a super sweet disposition. Everyone who meets me just loves me. I am a Smooth Coated Collie and Greyhound mix. I am 11-years-old but you would never know it. The vet says I am in excellent health, although I do take one phenobarbital daily. I get along with dogs, cats, children and of course, people. I am super friendly and so very good in the house. I don't chew or do any of that puppy stuff. If you are looking for easy, I am your man. Oh my gosh, here I am. My name is Winnie and I am a young, healthy Chihuahua and Terrier mix. I am only 9-months-old and I was turned in to the shelter with my brother, Eddie, who has already been adopted. I am a little shy when I meet strangers but it does not take me long to warm up to you. I have been spayed and completely vetted and I am good to go. Bonjour, my name is Jake and I am a 14-year-old Dachshund. My family had to give me up due to their grandson s allergies. I am such a sweet little guy with no health problems. I have an adorable personality but mostly I like to sleep and cuddle. I am house-trained and fully vetted and I am so anxious to have a home of my own. If you are looking for a small dog with lots of love to give, please adopt me! Hi there, I am Kahlua and I am a stunning Chocolate Lab and Pit mix. I am absolutely crazy about people and I get so excited just to have someone pet me. However, I am great with some dogs and not so great with others. When I was a puppy, I had an injury that never healed properly so I had to have my rear leg amputated - but this does not slow me down at all. I am praying for my forever home to come along as I have been searching for a long time. Please someone take a chance on me! P.O.

I am Lyla, a 3-year-old female Boxer mix. I am very athletic and don t mind going to a home with humans who like to be active. A home with another friendly dog like me would be right up my alley, too! I am also very smart I can sit, shake and give kisses. All these qualities and sweet to boot, yet over two years here and nobody seems to want me. I don t get it. I m truly a gem waiting to be found! SOAR (Southport Oak Island Animal Rescue) Talk about a lovey dovey! Oh my!! My name is Caesar and I am such a baby! I love to roll around and show off my belly. I also love ear rubs.

I love to sleep in the bed with you at night! Hi, I m Breezy! I m a very affectionate and adorable 3-year-old Maine Coon mix who is neutered and vaccinated.

I m around 4-years-old and ready to go home! 3376 St. Charles Place Southport, NC 28461 www.soar-nc.org October 2014 www.facebook.com/pawprintsmagazine 37
My name is Harley and I am a super, loveable BIG cat. I do great with cats, kids and dogs, too. In fact, I am part dog or maybe I was a dog in a former life. I follow you around and want to be near you just like a dog. I am a little older and I have diabetes which is easily controlled with insulin. The vet thinks it is possible that I can get off this insulin soon and maybe get it managed with just special food. That s my goal along with finding a loving home. It is very easy for you to give me shots twice a day and I am feeling so much better now. If you are interested in meeting me, please call and my groupie girls can tell you more about me and more about this diabetes stuff. Honestly, it s easy stuff and not too much money either. Adopt-An-ANGEL s phone number is 910-392-0557 - I highly recommend you call it. I am sponsored by Perry Davis. Thank you!

To meet me and see for yourself what a great dog I am, please call 910-271-3101. Hi, my name is Molly and I did not have a very good beginning. I was a stray who was hit by a car and brought to the shelter. I had some internal injuries that needed repair, so off to the vet I went. Not only did they repair my injuries, but they spayed and vaccinated me as well, so I'm good as new and looking for a forever family. I'm a 4-monthold Shepherd mix and I'm told I couldn't be any sweeter! I love kids and am learning to walk on a leash. Could you adopt me and give me a happy ending? Please call 910-271-3101 to meet me. My name is Feather and I'm a spayed Boxer/Bulldog mix girl who's 1½-years-old.

My name is Tess and I m 4-years-old, spayed, housetrained and ready for a great home! I love life and meeting new people, I m great with kids and I m very smart! I would do best in a family setting with another dog my size (preferably not under 35 pounds) and it would be best if my new home did not have cats. I am energetic so a jog or long walk with me in the morning would be the best routine to keep me (and you) fit and less anxious when family members have to leave.

Paid Advertisement Paid Advertisement Porters Neck Veterinary Hospital 8129 Market Street Wilmington, NC 28411 www.portersneckvets.com Portersneckvet@hotmail.com 910.686.6297 To our extended Wilmington family, We want to thank you for 16 years of caring for your family s pets. Porters Neck Veterinary Hospital started out in 1999 as the first veterinary clinic in the Porters Neck Shopping Center with one doctor and one employee. It has since turned into a thriving family business that supports over 25 employees and serves thousands of patients. Many of you have been with us from the beginning, taking the journey with us. You ve been with us as our two children were born, and we ve had the pleasure and pain of caring for your pets together, as they ve aged throughout their entire lives. Writing this letter is bittersweet, because we are proud of what we have accomplished. We are also proud of Dr. Rebecca Simmons Resnick who will be stepping into our shoes as of October 1. Rebecca started out with us as one of our first employees, and stayed with us in spirit as she finished veterinary school. She has been a trusted associate for over nine years. We are proud to say that we ve gone through considerable measures to keep our hospital out of corporate hands, and in her capable ones, where it belongs. We are also happy to announce that we will both be staying on as associates in a part-time manner. We feel that we will be able to better devote all of our working time to our patients in this way. We hope the transition will be smooth, and we know the care will remain the best in Wilmington. Please help us welcome Rebecca and her family by keeping your business local and out of the big box stores and corporations who threaten our way of practicing honest, personalized medicine. Thank you for 16 wonderful years of entrusting us to the care of your pets, and we look forward to taking this new journey with you for many years to come. Sincerely, Ron and Sharon Harris, DVM
Breed Rescues We are all from different Breed Rescues. Please read our stories! GREAT DANE RESCUE ALLIANCE I'm a 19-month-old Great Dane named Titus! I love to play fetch and tug-of-war and I walk phenomenally on a leash! I know some basic commands such as sit and stay, but my "sit" is more of a "lay down" since I can't sit on the hardwood floors without sliding down. I get along great with other dogs but I would prefer a home without children. I'm really a good dog and you can tell I'm trying to please you, I just don't know exactly how to all the time just yet. I'm also house and crate-trained! To adopt me, call 704-559-4121 or email greatdanerescuealliance@gmail.com. CAROLINA BASSET HOUND RESCUE My name is Bailey! I am 11- years young with a little diminished sight but I still have some bounce in my step! I found myself with a family who didn t care too much about me and when Animal Control came to visit us, they took me with them. Luckily, CBHR brought me into their program and now I m living with a great foster family! I really want to find my forever home where I can snuggle with my humans! To make me a member of your family, please call 919-708-4247 or visit our website at www.cbhr.com. Also, we are always short on foster homes! If you have ever thought about fostering, please contact CBHR for more details. You know life moves pretty fast. If you don t stop and sniff around once in a while, you could miss it. Hello, I m Betsy. I sure am thankful for the good folks at CBHR and especially my foster mom. She has taken care of all my ailments and I am good to go! I ve put on some weight, courtesy of some top notch groceries. Don t you need an adorable, sleuthing hound like myself to help you sniff out the finer things in life? Since I m feeling better, I like to play with all my four legged pals, including 3 cats (even 1 grumpy one!). I love car rides and I do a pretty sporty job at the end of a leash. To make me a member of your family, call 919-708-4247 or visit our website at www.cbhr.com.

Adoption Celebration 46 www.pawprintsmagazine.com October 2014
www.wcleeuwenburg.com Hello there! My name is Tripod Jack. I ve not had an easy 5-years of life, but you would never know it by my sweet disposition! I was living as an indoor/outdoor kitty when I was attacked by a coyote! Unfortunately, the doctors were not able to save my back leg which had been mangled in the attack. Also, while at the doctor s office, it was discovered that I m FIV positive. But all this is no problem for me! I get along just great on three legs and I can live a long, normal life with FIV, just like any other kitty who is treated well in a loving home. I m just a big ol' love bucket who loves to play and get head rubs - so please come out and meet me! For driving directions or more information about adopting an FIV cat, please call SOAR at 910-457-6340. I am sponsored by SOAR in loving memory of all their wonderful, furry friends who made it safely to the Rainbow Bridge. Hello up there! Looking for a sweet Boxer mix puppy? Look no further! My name is Jet and I m a 6-month-old baby boy. I am very friendly, I love to sit in your lap and I get along well with other dogs. I also know some simple commands like sit, stay and no. I bet you re wondering how a smart, fantastic guy like me ended up in the shelter. Well, my owner is in the military and, due to housing, he could not keep me. So now s your chance to snap me up! (I m also neutered and vaccinated.) Come on over to Pender Humane Society and let s fall in love! For hours, driving directions or other adoption info, please call 910-259-7022. I am sponsored by Top Toad in the Cotton Exchange in Downtown Wilmington, NC. Thank you! Dr. Ked Cottrell Pleasure Island Animal Hospital 1140 N.
