Heartstrings: When There's Room in Your Heart But Not in Your Home
Sponsor Chloe!
 Are you looking for a friend? Well so am I! Someone to walk on the beach with? Me too! How about a cuddle on the couch and someone who will listen and not judge you? So am I! We have so much in common I’m sure we could even be BFF! I’m not looking for just anyone. Someone who will appreciate my protective nature (no door bells needed!)! I’m not only a little cutie with my curled tail and big brown eyes, I have substance and intelligence! I have learned the basics like sit, down and would love to continue learning new things. My foster mom says I would be a really good agility, flyball or jogging partner! I’ve got these long bouncy legs and boy can I jump! I’ve gotten a good start in my foster home and already have mastered crate training. I’m very treat motivated and love to learn new things. My foster mom says I’m a smart cookie although I think I’m smarter than a cookie! So you have to wonder why I’m a Heartstrings dog since I’m smart, cute, healthy, house trained and a loyal companion. I’ve got one teensy tiny flaw. I’m not fond of strangers whether they’re people (big and small) or dogs on walks. Actually I’m more scared than anything else so I’m not like those other silly types of dogs that slobber all over you at the first minute they meet you. I am very discriminating on where I put my affections. You will never get jealous or wonder about my intentions because once we’ve made a commitment to happy ever after, I’m yours! Chloe is a 12 pound Chihuahua Pomeranian mix. |
Sponsor Emma!
.jpg) My Name is Emma! My Personality: If you want someone to talk to who will answer you back, then I’m the perfect kitty for you. I’m a petite and feminine feline chatterbox. I like to be petted and it always makes me so happy that I need a snack afterwards. I'm a playful playful gal, I just love chasing anything with a string on it. My History: I had a home, but they put me in a cardboard carrier and abandoned me. I could have been killed by a dog or escaped and become lost - I was so scared. I’m so glad I’m at Animal Aid where they will look after me until a loving family comes to rescue me. My Age: I was born in 2001 but because I’m so small you might think I’m just a youngster. My Appearance: I've got pretty tortoiseshell markings and big eyes. I was a skinny little kitty when I first arrived because I hadn't been treated for a hyperthyroid condition. Now that I'm on regular medication, I put on some weight and I'm looking good! My Videos: Click on the video icon above or click here to see me the first week at Animal Aid. After being abandoned, it’s nice to have people who care about me and tell me everything will be all right. My Perfect Home: I’m a special needs cat because I will need hyperthyroid medicine twice a day for the rest of my life. I’m good about taking my pill, and the medicine is not very expensive, but it’s hard to find a family that will take on the extra responsibility. I promise I will do my best to be the best kitty ever. |
Sponsor Rosemary!
 I’ve been waiting at Animal Aid for almost 2-1/2 years for my forever family. But still, I know that I am a lucky gal.
I’m lucky that a nice person rescued me when he saw me digging through trash cans trying to find something to eat. I was very hungry and had some bumps and scratches from living on the streets. I’m so thankful that he took the time to care about me. I’m lucky that he brought me to Animal Aid where so many people care about me. I’m not the same cat who came here malnourished, frightened and fearful. Everyone tells me that I’ve made great progress in trusting people again. Now I’ll look for a head scratch or two, I just love to play and will stretch out in a trusted caregiver’s lap. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I'm a feminine gal who is on the shy side. I’m looking for a kind person who will be patient with me. Once I gain confidence and learn to trust, I know I will blossom into a loving companion. Wait until you hear me purr, you won't believe such a loud purr can come from such a little body. I'm only four years old and full of energy and playful hijinks – I just love to play! But I’ve also found that I like to curl up in a lap with someone I trust. I’m looking for a quiet home where I can spend the rest of my life. I’ve already had enough outdoor adventures. I would prefer to be your one and only – getting all of your love and attention. I just know we will have a wonderful life together! To help share my story, my friends – including my new friend videographer Erik Schultz who donated his time and talent – produced this video: |
Sponsor Scooby!
 Are you the ONE? I have a lot of hope that YOU are the one for me. In the season of new beginnings, my only wish is to love and be loved in the light of spring and beyond. I’m easy to please. We could enjoy strolls in the park or a walk on the beach and after that, lounge by the fireside or watch TV. Being a Corgi mix you would think I would have no trouble finding my peeps, right? Even though I get along with other canines and even felines I’m still searching for my permanent family. When I was a young pup life was good and I was popular. Now that I’ve matured and learned the finer things of living with humans, like house manners, I find myself homeless and familyless! Getting old is not for sissies and I’m proof of that! I do have a couple of special needs that I take medication for and sure do hope that doesn’t stop me from finding my forever home. Will you be my miracle family? |
Sponsor Sedona!
 Sedona is a graceful beauty with the beautiful markings and luxurious fur of a Seal Point Himalayan. Her big, beautiful blue eyes beckon you to pet her. And you will be rewarded with gentle little nuzzles. This lovely lap cat is also known for having a playful streak. Sedona came to the shelter with her brother Simon when their guardian became too ill to care for them. These two sweeties have lived their entire lives together and are looking to spend their golden years with you. Here is a video of Simon and Sedona. Here they are cuddling Check out a photo session Sedona had with Dan Christopher, a professional photographer! http://www.danchristopherphotography.com/pet-portraits.php |
Sponsor Simon!
 Simon the Snowshoe Siamese has captivating blue eyes that you will never forget. And that’s not all that is memorable about this gorgeous guy. He is a big love bug who gives kisses and cuddles galore. This very affectionate companion is a talker and playful – in a sophisticated sort of way. In January 2012, Simon was diagnosed with a benign osteoma, which doesn’t require treatment. It has not changed since it was discovered. (An osteoma is a slow-growing benign tumor that usually causes no symptoms.) Simon came to the shelter with his sister Sedona when their guardian became too ill to care for them. These two sweeties have lived their entire lives together and are looking to spend their golden years with you. Here is a video of Simon and Sedona. Here they are cuddling |
Sponsor Whiskers!
 My name is Whiskers. Life was good for a while, then my family gave me away because they didn’t want me anymore. I’m not sure why the new person took me. He kept me outside all the time even though I’d sit on the porch crying to come in. There were dogs and cars and other dangers and I was scared. Then, one day it happened. Someone shot me. I thought at least I’d get sympathy but he said that I probably asked for it. I’m a little cat. How could I ask to be shot? That was in April 2010. The bullet is still in me and he brought me to the shelter because he didn’t want me. That’s the nicest thing he’s ever done.
The kind people at Animal Aid took me to a specialist but the bullet is so close to my spine that it can't be removed. I get daily massage and that helps me feel better. I drag my back leg but I can still get around and jump up maybe 2 feet high. They have the room set up so that I can go from a chair to the window in three jumps. Wait until you see this video of me climbing to the highest place in the room! Despite the cruel and uncaring people I have met, I love people and don’t hold a grudge. I’m still the outgoing and sweet guy I’ve always been. Just look at my photos and video to see how I flirt, roll over, snuggle, and make muffins. I’m as playful as I can be considering I can’t walk as well as I used to. Here I am playing and enjoying some petting. I’ve learned to play ball and I think my batting average is up there with the big hitters. I think I’ve trained my foster mom well to fetch and throw while I hit it back at her My best features are my long white whiskers, my big green eyes, and the cute patterns on my face. The perfect family for me would be one that would give me a lot of petting and attention and let me be the King. I will return all your love. I promise. And I will be grateful for a kind and caring home. I've got a blog! If you want to read my blog, click here, then click on Read More About This Pet. |
