September Priceless

September 2016 Priceless TM

PawPrints Magazine's Homeless cover Model I am an adorable little noodle who is just 8-weeks-old! You can call me Penne. I love people, especially when they have a lap. Laps are wonderful places for a nap or snuggle. I also like playing and running after you as you go about your day. I'm spayed, I m up to date on my vaccines and I m even microchipped. My dream is to find a real forever home (not this dollhouse) and I hope Photo by Dick Parrott that home will be with you! I m available for adoption through All 4 Cats. We are a small, foster home based rescue in the Wilmington area. We are always in need of more foster homes so we can offer a safe haven to cats and kittens within the community. Do you have a spare bedroom or bath where kittens like me could stay for a couple weeks? It would just be until we can be adopted into a loving home. If you would like to know more or would like to adopt a loveable feline, call All4Cats at 919-710-3872. Visit us online at www.all4cats.org or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/all4catsrescue. Sandpaper kisses and thank you s to Dick Parrott for taking my cover photo!

I m a greeneyed beauty named Katie. I m such a sweet, mellow girl, and my only wish is to finally find my real furever home. You see, I have been at Carolina Beach Animal Hospital since October 2015. My owner had to give me up because I'm a diabetic who requires a special diet and insulin. Everyone here has fallen in love with me and would love to make me an office kitty, but they think I would be much happier in a home environment. I do require some extra attention and financial responsibility, but I am so worth it! If you or someone you know is interested in adopting me, call Carolina Beach Animal Hospital at 910-458-3000 or submit an adoption application directly online at carolinabeachanimalhospital.com/adoption-application.

My name is Ivy and I'm such a happy girl who is eager to learn new things. I'm finding out people are not so bad after all. I was a little unsure at first. I love when my foster family loves on me and plays with me. I am discovering so many new things that I never knew before. Toys are my new favorite things and I love to play fetch the wubba. I also love my crate and go in there with no problem. I even go in there to hang out sometimes when I don't have to. It's like my own little mini house. I go outside for all my bathroom breaks and have not had any accidents inside. My foster mom says that I catch on really quick because I have already learned sit and down in just a couple weeks of being here - but really I just want the treat she's going to give me after. I will do just about anything for a treat! She says that's a good thing because I still need to learn some leash manners. I thought I was supposed to pull her around but she says that's not the way it goes. For info on me or for a full explanation of our adoption process, application, and fees visit www.meritpitbullfoundation.com/ how-to-adopt, email info@mpbf.org or call Merit Pit Bull Foundation at 336-618-PITT.

I m spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. I d like a quiet home with maybe a place by a window so I can watch the birds. If I could be the only cat, that would be ideal.

Monday - Saturday 4:30am to 8pm Sunday 6:30am to 8pm Hey there Jack Russell fans, my name is Riley! My foster mom says my personality is true to the breed, as I am extremely social, have above average energy, and have a high prey drive (okay, so I like to hunt things that run fast). I also love to play - and play and play! I would do best in a home with Jack Russell experience, another canine friend who is as active and playful as I am, and my family must have fencing, no children under 6, and no cats. Since I can barely stand still, and am always on the move, my foster mommy suggests that my family have agility experience, or interest in terrier trials and fun days. I would be the barn hunt champion! I am up to date on vaccines, neutered, heartworm negative and will be 3-years-old in October. I know I can be a handful, but if you have that back yard in need of terrier fun and happiness, I am your guy! To adopt me, call Russell Rescue Inc. - Carolinas at 910-821-3504 to leave a message or email mcbburton@alumni.unc.edu. You can also visit us online at www.russellrescue.com. I am sponsored in memory of Oscar and Madison Pour, two very special, life changing Jack Russell Terriers.

Please call 910-253-1375 to adopt us! Cat Tails Beautiful, longhaired, Tabbies like me don t usually hang around long, but I m shy and don t do well at Petsmart adoption fairs. That makes it hard for me to meet people. I m Ellie and I love people. I prefer to be queen bee but I could probably lower my standards and tolerate another cat. I am 4-years-old, which is young in cat years, so we have plenty of time together. Like the Venetian beauty in Shakespeare s Othello, I m beautiful and named Desdemona. I m 5-yearsold, with long black and white hair, and I m friendly and love people. My problem is I had to have one eye removed several years ago. It doesn t bother me, unless you sneak up on my blind side, but some people just can t overlook it. If you want a wonderful cat and don t care about one little flaw, come get me. I m waiting. Hello, my name is Fritz and apparently, I m broken. I m not sure what that means since I feel wonderful, but people tell me I ll be fixed sometime this month. The good news is that once I m fixed, you can come meet me and my two brothers and two sisters. I hope we can be friends. I m Ryan (right), the one with the blue eyes, and this is my brother Rex (left), who has gold eyes. We are both white with just a little gray on top of our heads. Most people can t believe we re only 6-months-old because we re both big kittens. We are always together sharing a meal or a bed, and we really, really, really want to stay together. Can we share your lap? My name is perfect for me! I m Darling. I m 7-monthsold and I m a marbled Tabby or maybe a Calico, but I m not really sure. I ll let you decide while you carry me around, or let me sit on your lap, or let me wrap my arms around your neck and give you a hug. Come see how darling I am! 6622 Beach Drive SW, Ocean Isle Beach, NC 28469 www.cattails.org September 2016 www.facebook.com/pawprintsmagazine 17

New Hanover Sheriff s Office Animal Services Unit Please call 910-798-7500 to adopt us! OPEN SATURDAYS! Hello, my name is Amanda (A343392) and I m a 2-year-old tricolored Beagle.

I ve been told that I m positively sweeter than sweat tea! I have a quiet and loving personality and I hope you will stop by the shelter so we can meet. The name Amanda means "fit to be loved" so that makes it a perfect choice for a loveable doggy like me. It is quite obvious that I was once part of a family. I was found as a stray near UNCW and I was wearing a pink polka dotted collar with a bell. I came here to the shelter with hopes that my family would come looking for me but they never came. My name is Babushka (A343689) and I m a spayed, 2-yearsold gray and white girl. I m ready to love you always. Hi, my name is Scout (A344114) and I m a super cute boy who is already neutered. I m current on all my vaccinations including Rabies and my adoption fee includes a brand new collar and a cardboard carrier for you to safely take me home. I m approximately 1-year-old and my fur is Tabby with white. Someone found me as a stray near the Bojangles on South College Road and brought me here to the shelter so that I could finally meet you! Labrador Retrievers are known for being friendly and Boston Terriers are known for being affectionate and that s what you ll get with me! My name is Gus (A343289) and I m a neutered boy who s 9-months-old. I was picked up as a stray and I ve quickly become a staff favorite!

I ve since been neutered and vaccinated and I even made an appearance on TV! I m a 2- year-old boy who is incredibly sweet, loving, snuggly and I want nothing more than to be near you and loved. In fact, it was a little difficult to get my picture because I kept going up to the photographer for snuggles.

Looking for a sweet and playful puppy? How about me, I m Emma! I m a 18-week-old girl who enjoys all the fun stuff that other puppies do but there is something special about me - I am almost totally blind. I was taken to a specialist and he said that my blindness is a birth defect with no correction. BUT, I see shadows and I enjoy life just like any other playful pup. I enjoy toys, I ve learned to walk on a leash and a harness and I m learning to sit. I do get frightened in new situations so I ll need patience from my new family. Come meet me and let s go for a walk together! You ll see what a loving companion I would be. If you need driving directions or more info, call Pender Humane Society at 910-259-7022.

My name is Marley (33240459) and I m a 4-year-old Retriever mix who came to the shelter a short time ago when I was surrendered for housing issues. I have not been responding well to the shelter environment and I m scared and nervous in my kennel. I m a gorgeous boy who hasn t had the best out of life yet, but everyone here knows that there is a happily ever after waiting for me. I need to be in a home without children. It can be difficult to find a home for animals with special needs, but there just has to be someone out there who is perfect for me. My name is Mia (32213046) and I m a 5-year-old Pit Bull mix who arrived at the shelter after being found as a stray. I used to spend most of the time huddled in the corner here at the shelter. I was timid, underweight and in need of some major TLC. I m such a gentle, mild-mannered and loving girl, and I ve been blossoming in foster care. With a little meat on my bones and some happiness around me, my personality is really shining through! I m looking for a family to love and I will make such a wonderful little companion. Howdy, my name is Rusty (32059018). I m a 3-year-old Hound mix who is just the sweetest boy. I do very well with young children and really enjoy life surrounded by other pups. I m very well-behaved, crate-trained and love to hop in the car and go for a ride. I need to go to a home with a fenced yard. Since I m a Hound dog, I need some space to run and follow my nose. At the end of the day, I will be happy to sit at your side and get a good scratch on the head. If you are looking for a loyal and loving friend for life, I m your boy! I m a lovely little Hound girl named Jezebel (31990761). I ve never met a stranger and I m a friend to everyone who is lucky enough to meet me. There s not many things better than one of my sweet smiles and a snuggle. I m a happy, feisty pup who loves my people (and hot dogs, too). I m a champion cuddler and will be a wonderful friend. I do well with other dogs, with children and with cats, too. I m approximately 5-years-old and already spayed as well. Won t you give a little lady like me a place to call home? Just look at me! My name is Cruz (33136480) and I m a 2-year-old Schnauzer mix who is as adorable as can be! I m a sweet, scruffy boy who s a loveable pup.

PAW S Place Please call 910-845-7297 to adopt us! (Call for a pre-adoption application and adoption fee info.) Hi, I'm Wesley! The ladies at Paws Place say I have the sweetest smile and most gorgeous eyes. Did you know I've lived at Paws Place for 4 years and 9 months? I have not been given the chance to live in a safe, loving home. I'm quite shy and would prefer a calm, patient family with a fenced yard as the leash can be stressful for me. I am a special boy who enjoys the company of other dogs. Would you please take the time to get to know me? They call me Bosley! I'm a slender Hound dog with a great nose. I was a stray brought to Paws Place in January 2015, but no one has adopted me yet. I don't know why! I had some health concerns including heartworms, but now I have a clean bill of health at age 4½-years. I live in foster care and do well with other dogs and children. I can be shy to new things, but that's just my style. If you'd like to meet me, please send an email to Sarah@PawsPlace.org. See you soon! Woof! I'm Tessa, a Coonhound with the softest floppy ears. I'm about 7-years-old and I love to walk, go for car rides, and splash in the ocean. As I'm a hunting dog, I would do best in a home without small animals. I've been treated for heartworms and am healthy now. Would you give me the chance to live with you? Hi, I'm Cricket! I mothered 10 puppies at Paws Place in the Fall of last year. I've been spayed so there will be no more of that business! I came in with a full tummy from a local county shelter. I see a specialist for a previous leg injury, but don't let that fool you. I play hard and have lots of friends at the kennel. I'm about 4-years-old, 45 pounds, and enjoy watching birds and squirrels. Will you come meet me at the kennel? I deserve an opportunity to live in a home. I'm Cedric, a sweet puppy boy who is quite laid-back, maybe even on 'island time' as the locals say. I was born in May of this year. I'm playful, friendly, already neutered and microchipped and l really love peanut butter. People get a good laugh when they watch me eat it off the spoon. So what are you waiting for? Come meet me today at the Paws Place kennel! It's me, Walker! You've likely seen me before. I was adopted from Paws Place years ago but my owner passed away and I found myself at the Paws Place kennel once again. Now I'm 10-years-old and slow-paced. I enjoy wading in the kiddie pool and resting on my mat. Will you give me a chance to retire in a home, please? 3701 Boiling Spring Rd., Winnabow, NC 28479 www.pawsplace.org September 2016 www.facebook.com/pawprintsmagazine 31

I m a 4-month-old kitten named Persephone, or Percy (A31960911) for short. I m a gorgeous young girl who loves to be loved. I m always looking for attention and I purr whenever anyone stops by. I just adore being the center of attention and have always been the caretaker of my litter. I came to the shelter with my littermates and spent some time fighting off an infection, but I ve bounced back wonderfully and am now healthy, happy and ready to find a human to love forever. I m accustomed to being in a home with other cats, and would do very well with another feline friend, though I m still a bit unsure about canine companions. If you are looking for a feline friend, look no further than me! Contact Onslow County Animal Services or stop by the shelter located at 244 Georgetown Road in Jacksonville. For info or to adopt me, call our adoption desk at 910-937-1164. I am sponsored in honor of all the cats who are waiting for homes at the shelter. 910-259-1484 NOW OPEN WEEKENDS!

We have the short stature like a Basset Hound and that wonderful personality of both a Basset and Lab! We are a perfectly matched set with a bit of a hard luck story. Both of us were adopted then dumped in a shelter when our humans no longer wanted us. We just don't understand what we did wrong! All we wanted is to love our humans and please them. So, we are now looking for a new home. We are very bonded at 5 to 9-years of age, so we really need to be adopted together. We love to play, love to walk, and we get along with other dogs! I get a little nervous with lots of people coming and going, but Chloe takes everything in stride. We are both very smart, obedient, house-trained and listen to commands our foster mom gives us. We ride well in the car and love everyone and every dog we have met so far. Wouldn t we be a great set of twins for your perfect loving home?

Here s my story: A very kind person was relaxing in his yard when he heard the tiniest little cries. It was me! I was lost and looking for a human to take me in. He got me to the shelter and now I m waiting for a forever family. At just 12- weeks-old, I m neutered, up to date on shots and litterbox-trained. I will sit in your lap to be petted.

Look how beautiful I am! My name is Ivory and I m a 1-year-old Shepherd mix girl who was rescued from a shelter where I was running out of time. I am feeling very shy right now and am hoping to be adopted by someone with a kind heart and a patient nature. Love and time is all I need to come out of my shell and be the girl I was meant to be, before I was abandoned. Adopt me and I ll be grateful forever! Just hanging out here and hoping you ll walk through the door! My name is Jessie Jess and I m a very loving and friendly girl who is beyond ready to be adopted and light up someone s life. I was born on February 2 of this year and have been at the shelter all that time. For some reason I have been overlooked which is quite a shame as I am a darling girl who loves to play with toys and be petted. I m spayed, vaccinated and litterbox-trained. Come meet me!

Kyle here! I'm an 11-month-old Setter/Spaniel mix boy who would love to blow out the candles on my cake at a home of my own. I'm currently living in foster care with another dog and I m doing well in that situation. I am quite shy and uncomfortable with new situations. I do best with routine and a quiet household. The kennel atmosphere was not right for me. I'm neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and in need of love! Did I mention I'm crate-trained? To arrange to meet me, email Sarah@PawsPlace.org or call Paw s Place at 910-845-7297. I am sponsored in loving memory of Grace Harrington.

Please call 910-579-0407 to adopt us! Hi my name is Chuck and I am approximately 5-yearsold. I am a Terrier mix who is fully vetted and up to date on everything. I am heartworm negative and thanks to the efforts of my foster dad, I am now house-trained. I am pretty shy at first but I warm up to others given a little time. I get along really well with my foster brother who is a Jack Russell mix - we have learned to play really well together. I would be fine in a home with another dog or I could be fine as an only dog. I'm not sure about cats as I have not been exposed to them. I would be happy to stay in my foster home forever but that's not how this works. See if you adopt me, that opens up a spot for another dog to be rescued so please hurry up and make an appointment to come to meet me! I am a fine looking Boxer if I do say so myself. My name is Rudy and I was given to my rescue group because my owners could not keep me. Obviously, the rescue group saw the potential in me! I am 7-years-old and have been fully vetted. I was very glad when they told us I was heartworm negative. I am housetrained and like people and dogs but can not be around cats as they tempt me too much. I am a very happy and wiggly guy who just wants to have fun. Some say I am very affectionate and I think that's a compliment. Am I right? Come and meet me and I will show you! Don't I look like a little Pixie? Well, that's why my name is so perfect for me. I was found as a stray and was very scared. A nice lady came to the shelter and saw how scared I was and decided to bring me to her rescue group called R.A.C.E. I went to live in a wonderful foster home after I was fully vetted. Luckily, I was heartworm negative and I am a healthy young lady. I get along well with other dogs and love humans. I am playful but I love to sleep on my foster mom's lap best of all. I'm even willing to share her lap and my bed with my foster sister. I am ready to be adopted into my forever home. I'm small and about as sweet as you are ever going to see. Give R.A.C.E. a call and come to meet me, please. R.A.C.E. (Rescue Animals Community Effort) Hello world, this is Gabby speaking! At 5-years-old, I have reached perfection. I am house-trained, fully vetted, heartworm negative, spayed and I've had a dental - what more can you ask for? Oh, I do love to cuddle and sometimes become possessive of my person but I am living with 3 other dogs and I'm doing fine. My human mom and dad both passed away and no one in the family could keep me, so I ended up with R.A.C.E. in a wonderful foster home. Before I get too used to living here, I wish you would come to meet me so I can show you what a great cuddly companion I can be. My name is Coco and there is lots of celebrating going on in my world right now! You see, I have been on a weight loss program and I have reached my goal of losing 6 pounds! My foster mom believed I could do it and with her determination and my willingness to cooperate, we have succeeded. Everyone is so proud of us. Because of my weight loss, my diabetes is under control and my thyroid condition is improving. What a wonder dog I am! It may seem like I ve had too many issues to be adoptable but that may not be the case if you don t mind keeping up with my healthy living program. I am loving and playful and get along with everyone. As a 4-year-old Chihuahua, you and I know I still have lots of life to live. Come and meet me and I promise you will not be disappointed! I am so tiny, just 6 pounds, so you can understand how terrified I was in the shelter. Fortunately, my foster mom and dad saw me and brought me into R.A.C.E. My name is Tulip (my foster dad named me) and I think he named me this because I am as pretty as a flower even if I am a senior. I am being fostered in a home with 4 other dogs and 2 cats and I think it's very lively here. I'm having lots of fun with all the activity. As you know, Chihuahuas can live a very long time!

Please call 910-457-6340 to adopt us! SOAR (Southport Oak Island Animal Rescue) Buddy Hello, my name is Hermione and, as you can probably guess, my previous owner was a Harry Potter fan! I'm a 4-year-old brown Tabby girl who is spayed, vaccinated and litterboxtrained. Believe it or not - I lived on a sailboat before coming to SOAR. Sadly, my owner s job took him overseas and he could not take me with him. I'm a little shy, but once I warm up to you it's all hearts and rainbows! I m Emma and I m pictured on this page with my "sister" Trixie. We are not littermates but we have been together for the last 3 years and we came to SOAR together after the death of our person. We would love to be adopted together but it's ok if we go separately, too. I m a Mastiff/Lab mix, about 65 pounds and 3-years-old. I d love a fenced-in back yard for running and playing. See you soon! Holly Just chillin' in my pool - waiting for my fur-ever home! Hi, I'm Lexi! I'm 2-years-old and I weigh about 50 pounds. The workers at SOAR say I'm very high energy and athletic so I may be better suited for someone in need of a running partner or someone who can take me jogging on the beach. As you see from my pic - I LOVE water! I ve never been to the ocean but I would probably like it too! And I definitely need a fenced-in yard because running and playing is a must. Stop by and say hi! These boots were made for walkin, to your house! I m Breezy and I wanted to show off my new summer do! How do you like my lion cut? I'm a Maine Coon, about 4½-yearsold, which is the perfect age between chilling out and kitten rough-housing! I'm also FeLV positive - but don't worry - it's not passed on to humans - only other cats - which is why I have to be your one and only and I must live indoors. Don't be afraid - learn more about FeLV and FIV online or stop by SOAR and talk to one of our knowledgeable volunteers! So you met my sister Emma (pictured to your left) - now let me tell you a little about me! I m Trixie, a Black Lab mix, and all the volunteers at SOAR say I am the sweetest girl at the rescue. I love to snuggle and get belly rubs! I'm 7-years-old and fairly laid-back - but I still have a little puppy in me that make me love to run and play! I'm good on my leash walks and I listen well! Don't let my age or a few white whiskers bother you - I will be your perfect companion! Juliet here! You want cute? How about sweet? Funny and playful? Then I'm your gal! Only thing is - I have to be your one and only cat and I HAVE to stay inside - that's NON- NEGOTIABLE - due to the fact that I am FIV positive. Please don't stop reading just because of that! I m only 8-months-old and can still live a long, happy, healthy life! If you have questions you can find plenty of information online or, better yet, come by SOAR and let someone talk to you about having and caring for an FIV positive kitty. See you soon! 3376 St. Charles Place Southport, NC 28461 www.soar-nc.org September 2016 www.facebook.com/pawprintsmagazine 39

My name is Snowflake and I m a 10-yearold, declawed, special needs cat who must have someone willing to commit the time needed to keep me comfortable. I was abandoned when I started showing signs of illness. I barely managed to survive with sporadic feeding by neighbors. Finally, someone rescue me. The vet discovered that I have severe hyperthyroidism and only weighed 5 pounds! I m a grand old girl, but I do not groom myself so I need daily brushing and a weekly bath. I also need medication twice daily for hyperthyroidism. There is also a cyst on my neck that has to be drained every 2 to 5 days. I m normally calm with other cats, but sometimes I get irritable and initiate a tussle. I do not like dogs or children and would do best in a quiet household. I m currently in a foster home and loving life. As it often happens with rescues in desperate condition, I m relishing the love, attention and the never ending buffet. Contact Debbie with Carolina Animal Protection Society at 910-330-1376 to be my guardian angel. I am sponsored in appreciation of everyone who has rescued a homeless animal. Hey! My name is Lollipop (I go by Lolli!) and I am an approximately 6-year-old female Jack Russell who weighs 17 pounds. I would love to be adopted by a human who is home often (retired or works from home), or someone looking for a calmer Jack. I just adore my humans and would prefer to spend every day by them, napping, cuddling, and simply being their little shadow. I enjoy walking through the neighborhood and taking car rides with my human. I am up to date on vaccines, spayed, and prefer that I not have to be crated. I have a doggie door and know how to use it, so I get to sleep on the couch when my foster mom works. I had some minor skin hot spots, then I saw the vet for some TLC. I don't mind most dogs and have four Jack siblings, but I think I would prefer the calmer ages. I will play with my younger canine sibling but on my terms. Do you have a place in your home for an adorable little pudding, always smiling, Jack Russell? To adopt me, call Russell Rescue Inc. - Carolinas at 910-821-3504 to leave a message or email mcbburton@alumni.unc.edu. You can also visit us online at www.russellrescue.com. I am sponsored in memory of Oscar and Madison Pour, two very special, life changing Jack Russell Terriers.

Breed Rescues We are all from different Breed Rescues. Please read our stories! GREAT DANE FRIENDS OF RUFF LOVE I m Duke, a 3 to 4-year-old boy who is heartworm positive. I m undergoing treatment and getting neutered, and then I can go to my forever home! I walk well on a leash and I know basic commands. I am great with all other dogs and also horses and chickens! I am also a complete love bug. I love to snuggle my head in my foster mom s lap. If she stops petting me, I lift my paw and gently tap her to remind her to continue petting. I am great with older kids but the younger, energetic kids that like to make a lot of noise and dart past me tend to get me a little too excited - so I should go to a home that has kids over the age of 10. Please send an email to GDFRL at greatdanefriend@yahoo.com for an adoption application, call 704-584-9257 or visit www.greatdanefriends.com. CAROLINA BASSET HOUND RESCUE I see with my HEART! My name is Helen and I'm a sweet dog. Despite not having eyes, I can navigate around the house, I am housetrained and I use the doggie door on my own. I love belly rubs and going for short walks, especially in the grass. I came in with very nasty ear infections and I continue to get drops twice a day. I also take Rimadyl for my arthritis twice a day but I will eat them as is. I am good with other dogs, but can be a little protective of food during mealtime. I am low key and love nothing more than a soft bed. To adopt me, call 888-909-2387 or visit www.cbhr.com. TARHEEL WEIMARANER RESCUE My name is Layla. I'm 1½-years-old and looking for a home that will let me run and play! I used to run on a treadmill everyday which was fun, but I would love to try running outdoors as well. I've been told I make a pretty lousy first impression, but people don't understand how nervous I get! I do like other big dogs but don't like small critters, small dogs, or cats. I also am way too hyper for small children because I'm just too excited to play. I am doing well at doggy daycare and hope you will consider meeting me or some of the other nice Weimaraners I live with. For more info, you can call 910-232-5910 or you can learn more about adoption through our website at www.tarheelweimrescue.org. MERIT PIT BULL FOUNDATION My name is Nick. My foster mom calls me a big ole goober because I can be a bit goofy at times and I make her giggle. I love to snuggle with her and lay my head (or my whole body) on her when I get sleepy. I am house and cratetrained and I love to go on walks around my neighborhood. I like toys but my absolute favorite thing in the world are my blankies. I m looking for a home without cats or really small children. I love my foster home, but I really hope to find a family of my very own one day. Could you be my FURever family? For explanation of our adoption process, application, and fees visit www.meritpitbullfoundation.com, email info@mpbf.org or call 336-618-PITT. SCHNAUZER RESCUE OF THE CAROLINAS I m Blackie, a 5-year-old, solid-black neutered male mini-schnauzer who weighs just 19 pounds. I am microchipped, vaccinated and am currently in a foster home awaiting my forever family! I m looking for someone who is familiar with Schnauzers and, get this, I actually prefer male humans to females. If you are a man looking for a best buddy and loyal sidekick, why not apply to adopt me? To read more, visit www.schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org. Call 919-723- 7145 to have an application mailed or faxed. P.S. Mention PawPrints for a $25 discount on my adoption donation! CAROLINA POODLE RESCUE My name is Charlotte. I m a small Toy Poodle who isn t even 6 pounds! You might notice that my photo shows white in my eyes. The ophthalmologist said that I have probably been blind since I was a kid. I have progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) but that doesn t slow me down! The world is full of great sounds, interesting smells, and stuff to touch. I see with my ears, nose, toes and heart! I m a happy, playful, and affectionate Lap Dog who loves going on walks. I would love to have someone who wants a companion for everything. Once I find someone, I never want to let them go! I m 8-years-old which is the prime of life for a Toy Poodle. To adopt me, call 864-489- 3559 or go to our website at www.carolinapoodlerescue.org.

I enjoy snuggling with my people and other dogs. I m very lowmaintenance and lowenergy, although I enjoy a good walk and exploring the yard. I have crate anxiety, so I would be best suited for a family who is home during the day or allows me access to the inside while they are away. I am spayed, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. It is believed that I m a Boston Terrier and Hound mix who is 8-years-old. Please apply to adopt me today!
