Dennis is No Menace

Dennis is a Love-Bug

I am Dennis, but I am no Menace I hope you don’t watch too much television from the 1960’s.  I say that because I may be called Dennis, but I am very much not a menace.   I am mellow and sensible and I never make mischief.  Ok, I may look a little gruff.  But that is all a put-on to cover up the fact that I am actually a love-bug and a sweetie-pie.       How sweet am I?  Well, I will cuddle right next to you and purr you to sleep.  I love to be petted and have my ears rubbed.  Belly rubs?  I adore those.  I just want to be near you.  That does not mean I am all laziness and lying around.  I do like to bat around a ball or two and I can really get into a game of chase the mouse on the wire.  But no hi-jinx for me, if you know what I mean.  …

Gypsy Angel is an Angel and More

Gypsy Angel Wants to Go Home with You

Gypsy Angel Wants Your Love and Affection Wait, why are you walking by my window?  I want to look at you.  You seem nice.  I know I am nice.  Don’t you think we would make a great pair?  I do.  Why not come inside and meet me?  I am definitely looking for a new home.  This cage at PetSmart is clean and safe, but that is about all I can say for it.  I am ready for a home of my own and you sure look like a good adopter.  You have a dog, you say?  No problem on my part.  Another cat?  Well, that depends.  We can discuss it. So my name is Gypsy Angel and I am a petite, medium haired, girl with a beautiful black coat and a fleck of white on my chest.  Very elegant, if I do say so myself.  Especially my fluffy tail, which I use to signal my …

Striker Needs a Loving Home

Will you adopt this sweet cat?

Striker is Goofy and Fun, with Movie Star Charisma Striker is my name, but sweetness is my game. That is right, I am a beautiful, adorable, handsome, sweet, funny, and loads of fun. Oh, I am also a very modest guy, so I won’t toot my own horn. I will just let you look at my pictures. I can be goofy, or serious, or very chill as you can see. That is me, all me. Ok, I am not a small guy. But hey, there is lots of me to love. I like my kibble and I like it often. I will sit, patiently shifting my weight from right to left and squinting my eyes at you until you get the message and give me a treat. I want your attention, true. But, I want that treat even more, thank you very much. I also love, love, love to be held. If you pick me up, I will …

Lilo Bunny Wants to Hop Right into Your Heart

Lilo Bunny Wants to Hop Right into Your Heart

Sniff, sniff, sniff ... hello nice person. My name is Lilo and I am a one-year-old mini lop eared bunny who really likes people. And people seem to like me, too.  I guess it is because I am quite cute with my hanging ears, beautiful harlequin markings, and sweet, twitchy, bunny nose. Rabbits just don’t get much cuter than I am, if I do say so myself. You might think I am a bit biased. But really, I am just a very happy and social boy who enjoys life and dreams of a wonderful home. So, you are asking yourself: Why do I need a bunny in my life? Well, I am just a bundle of pure joy. My favorite thing to do is to stick my nose out of my cage and ask to be patted. Whenever anyone is around, this is what I do. I also like to play. There are toys…

Mitzi the Wonder Dog Wants to Go Home with You

Mitzi the Wonder Dog Wants to be Your Wonder Dog

   Mitzie the Wonder Dog is Young, Sweet, and Eager to Please Sniff, sniff… you smell good.  Can I come home with you?  I really want a home and even from here I can tell we are a match.  My name is Mitzie Horn.  I am a one-year-old black and white puppy.  I can’t give you a pedigree since I am a combination of things as you can see.  But I think I really turned out to be quite sleek, elegant and special… a one of kind. I am a very happy and friendly girl.  I have met one other dog here about my own size and I love to play and wrestle with her.  I also love to chase balls and play with stuffed toys.  I have a special toy I keep in my cage when I can’t be outside playing.  Outside is where I love to be.  I can run there and I do laps around…

Stunning Myra, the Russian Blue Mix, is No Wall Flower

Stunning Myra, the Russian Blue Mix, is No Wall Flower

 Stunning Myra, the Russian Blue Mix, is No Wall Flower Are you a real cat lover? Are you looking for a cat who has lots of personality and will be a strong presence in your life? Then look no further. My name is Myra and I am the cat for you. Not only am knock-down gorgeous with my silvery, shimmering Russian Blue-like fur, but I am a cat with pizzazz. When you come home each day from work (or wherever), I will meet you at the door, ready to tell you all about my day and to list off the things I want to do with you, now that you are home. I love, love, love to play with string toys. But, it’s okay if you aren’t ready for play time right away. Maybe I can help you with your paperwork. I will sit right in the middle of whatever you are …

Adopt Spryng, A Beautiful Cat in an Elegant Tuxedo

Who says tuxedos are just for boy cats?

My name is Spryng and I believe in unisex dressing since I am a girl tuxedo cat. Don’t you think I look mighty fine in my dress-up fur? Ok, so I have big feet, but double paws are considered cute in a cat. I like my white socks and I use my big paws to play with catnip mice and grab at any string you might dangle my way.  I may look a bit formal, but I am really just a year-old kitten looking for a fun time. That is not to say I am a party animal. I am actually very picky about my friends. I need to really know you before I let loose and have fun. My foster family is nice, but they had to prove they were patient and sweet….which they are. Now, when they call me, I come running and sometimes I like to sleep on their bed.   Although I can be…

Adopt Natira, A Young, Tortoiseshell Cat

Beautiful Natira has her whole nine lives in front of her to share with you.

My name is Natira and I am certainly the most beautiful tortoiseshell cat in the world, if not the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. You do want to adopt me, don’t you?  I know it is hard to resist my striking colors. But, even though they say beauty is only skin-deep, you should know I am quite beautiful on the inside as well.  Now that we have that out of the way, hold out your hand so I can sniff you. Gentle introductions are important to me, and that’s my way of learning a little more about you. I’m a sensitive soul, so it may take some sniffing to ease my mind—but I promise it will be worth it. Once we are pals, you will find that I love to play. My foster has a great wand with tinsel and I chase it around in circles until I am dizzy. …

Adopt This Dog: Luther, A One-Year-Old Rottweiler Puppy

Luther is all puppy and is ready to please.

My name is Luther and I am about a year old, if that. I wandered up onto someone’s porch a few weeks ago. I am big and strong, so I got away from my companion and got lost somewhere near the Stone Zoo. I was lucky to find PAWS because it is a rough world out there for lost animals. I would love to find my original family, but I am legally available for adoption now and I really, really want to settle into a new home. If you are looking at my picture, you already know I am very, very handsome, so let’s not waste time on that. I am impatient to tell you instead how much I want to go home with you. I am very people-friendly so I already know that I like you a lot. And I am also extremely eager to please, especially if there is a treat …
