I’ve got a cozy spot on the couch and
my paw on the remote, but
something is missing...it’s you!
My name is Tyler and I am
desperately seeking a fellow television
aficionado and couch potato.
Which show would you like to watch? Two of my summer favorites are “Orange is the New Cat” and “America’s Got Tuna”.
I’ll even let you share the remote! In case you’re wondering, I’m an 18-month-old boy who loves to be
petted and played with. Television is not my only joy, I also love being cuddled and kissed. See,
when they came up with the term ‘laid-back’, they were thinking of me. I’m a relaxed and sociable boy, friendly to adults, children and other cats alike. It’s
quite a mystery how I have been living at the shelter all this time, waiting for a loving family. If you’d like
to meet me, please call Pender Humane Society at 910-259-7022. They’ll be happy to tell you even
more about me, such as the fact that I’m neutered, up to date on shots and litterbox-trained. And, oh yes, I’d like to thank photographer Dick Parrott for
my stunning portrait. It’s hard being a male supermodel, laying on a cozy couch, being handfed
catnip-flavored kitty treats while the camera is snapping away. I managed to do it, though,
because that’s how much I want to be adopted! Could I be the star at your home? I promise to
give you plenty of room on the couch!

WOW! My name is Mickey and I am a long-haired doll with dilute Calico fur. It is long and luxurious. If I was a person, I’d be modeling somewhere. My bubbly personality matches my beauty so that if you adopt me, you will experi-ence true kitty cat
perfection. I lean into you for love, give
head butts and just live to serve you.
Come adopt me quick because girls like me
don’t come around too often. If you would like to know more information about me or to inquire about the adoption
process, give Adopt-An-ANGEL a call at 910-392-0557. You may also visit us online at www.adoptanangel.net for
more details.

Hi! I am Momma
June. I just
showed up on some-
one's doorstep.
It was thought
that I had been hit by a car since I
was only using
three of my legs. I
also had ticks, fleas, grain mites, intestinal parasites, and heartworms!!! I am currently undergoing treatment, but when I am all done I would love to come home with you. C.A.R.E. is also accepting donations towards my treat-
ment!! For more information about adoption or donations, please go to www.carewilmington.org or call 910-256-2624.

URGENT, URGENT! My Time Is Running Out! My smiling face could be bringing joy to your heart, but first you must come adopt me! My name is
Ridley (A012616), which means ‘red meadow’ in Old English. You see, I have a beautiful red, glossy coat and I’m a Labrador, which is one of the most popular family dogs in the states!
How can it be that I’m homeless? I’m a young,
handsome fellow, just 2 to 3-years-old. I was found
as a stray and am a little shy when you first meet me, but I warm up quickly with kind words of praise. It was wonderful coming out of my kennel for a chance to be among people
and have my photo taken - I hope the next group of people I meet will be my new family! (And if you’re a single individ-ual, that’s good too!) I just please ask you to hurry, as time is running out. My adoption fee includes Distemper/Parvo vaccine, Kennel Cough vaccine, Rabies Vaccine, deworm-ing, 30 day flea/tick treatment and my neuter 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 Satur-
days from Noon to 4pm. For more info, call Pender County Animal Shelter at 910-259-1484 or send an email to
[email protected]. Hope to see you soon!
I am sponsored in honor of Kathleen M. Langone.
URGENT, URGENT! My Time Is
Running Out! Wise men say only fools rush in...but I’m begging you to rush in and adopt me! And you won’t be
a fool, you’ll be my SAVIOR! I’m Elvis (A012655) and I’m a hunka, hunka burning
love...but my time is run-ning out! There are just
too many dogs arriving at the shelter and not
enough room for us all. I’ve been told I’m ex-
tremely cute and highly kissable, just like my namesake. I love men, women, kids, female dogs and cats, but I’d rather live in a home without other male dogs. Hey, when your name is Elvis, can you
blame me for just loving the ladies and wanting all their at-tention? (I am neutered, but the ladies still dig me.) My adoption fee includes Distemper/Parvo vaccine, Kennel Cough vaccine, Rabies Vaccine, deworming, and 30 day flea/tick treatment! 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 [email protected]. Please give me the chance to say: Elvis has left the building!
I am sponsored in loving memory of Hank Harrington.
I’m BooBoo and I do believe that I’m the Perfect Family Dog you’ve been waiting for! I was once the
much-loved compan-ion of Pender Hu-
mane Society’s Shel-ter Manager, Deb Rye, who passed away suddenly in January. My mom Deb had me since I was 1-year-old (I’m
11 now) and I’ve never known any-
thing but love. It’s all I have to give, too. I’m a wonderfully
friendly girl who lived with other dogs and cats and I even got along great with
the ducks and geese on our property. Small children and big children are A-ok with me, too - nothing upsets my laid-back and relaxed nature. I’m house-trained, leash-trained, spayed, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention. I’m an affectionate and well-behaved Shepherd mix who is just waiting to be part of a family again. It would make my
mom so happy to know that I’m being cared for and loved. Can you make my dream come true? I promise, you’ll be
well-rewarded with a very wonderful companion. Call Pen-der Humane Society at 910-259-7022 for more info.
I am sponsored in loving memory of Deb Rye.

I am Leonard, a napoleon
complex-free, small drink of water who is affectionate
and a charmer of all people! I’m very soft-haired and cuddly, I
weigh around 35 pounds, but I love to
eat and snack, what Hound doesn’t? I’m spry and active, young at
heart – a true southern gentleman who’s not even stub-born! A rare Hound indeed! I can even anticipate what you need before you even know it. How wonderful is
that? I’d be great around the young ones or even someone who is just young at heart. I’m a complete joy to be around, friendly and easy-going. My schedule is
very flexible – whatever you’re doing – I’m in! A lover of all things – just name it. I’m even doggie door certified.
I love to gather tennis balls and bring them all to my bed. Perhaps you need a cute little four-legged per-
sonal organizer with a heart of gold? Just ask for me! 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 Carolina Basset
Hound Rescue for more details.
I am sponsored by Mr. Peanut and Ginger Snap.
URGENT, URGENT! Why Am I Running Out
of Time? A gem is waiting right
here for you! My name is Smokie (A011360) and
I’m a very handsome Australian Shepherd mix boy. I’m friendly, well-behaved and will sit up and beg for attention.
Yes sir, I’m smart as well as good-looking! My
former owners said I am a fantastic dog in every way - I got along great with their little girls and with every other family member - but I did not
enjoy being around their young boys. Although they were sad to bring me to the shelter because I’m such a wonderful companion, they felt I would be happiest in a family with no
kids or one with older children. I’m 6-years-old, neutered, up to date on every vaccination and I just had my summer hair cut. So I am ready for YOU! But please hurry as there are too many dogs arriving and not enough room for us all. 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 info, call Pender County Animal Shel-ter at 910-259-1484 or email [email protected].
I hope to be seeing you soon!

July 2014 www.facebook.com/PawPrintsMagazine 9
►My name is Colleen and
I am a laid-back,
easy-going girl. I am
house-trained, great on a
leash, and I do well with other
dogs and people of all
ages. I love to snuggle and I am not high
energy at all. I am EASY. I had a litter of puppies and one is still available. I was a good mom and I let them get away with everything. That’s my personality though. I go with the flow. My foster
mom describes me as a perfect angel.
◄My name is Naomi and I am a super sweet Pitbull. I was used for breeding and when my owner was done with me, he kept one of my puppies and took me to Ani-mal Control. Real stand up
guy, you know? I am a good dog and I’m looking for a good
forever home this time! I promise to shower you with doggie kisses and uncondi-tional love. I am vaccinated
and have been spayed, so no more puppies for me! I am currently living with another
dog in my foster home so I seem to do well with other dogs. I will need to go to someone with experience with my breed.
◄Hello everyone! I'm Skipper and I’m a 3-year-old male Jack (Parson) Rus-sell Terrier mix. Spend just a little time with me and you'll see what a truly awesome and well-rounded little fellow I am! Intelligent, cheerful, calm, re-laxed and ready to be your very best friend, I'm quite the catch. The volun-teers just love me! Please come out and see if I'm your next family member!
◄My name is Bo, and if I do say so myself, I am drop dead gorgeous!! I have deep choco-late fur that is al-
most 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 Sammy and I am the best dog in this
magazine! I really am. I am a middle-aged fella who has
awesome manners. I am completely house-trained
and do well with cats, dogs, kids and people of all ages. I can be lazy when I want to
be and when I’m in the mood, I have bursts of play-ful energy. I am absolutely loveable and super cuddly. I will be devoted to my fam-ily since I am so eager to please. My foster mom
absolutely adores me and wants me to have an awe-
some family. I got all dressed up to meet them. Will you help me find them?
►Hi, my name's Hoover. I'm a Hound of unknown origin, though I suspect I am at least part German
Shepherd and maybe part Walker Tree Hound. I get
along great with other dogs and cats and even
chickens. I love dog food more than anything else in the world, except for
maybe chasing squirrels. I love kids and would really love to find a home with a big
fenced yard where I can play with them. I am told that I am very cute and sweet natured, though I try not to let that get to
my head. I would really love to find a new family who will love and care for me the way my old one has. Won't you
please adopt me?
Hi, I’m Chance! I’m just 3-years-old and I have
the best person-ality of any “Honorary
Schnauzer” that Schnauzer Res-cue of the Caro-linas (SRC) has ever found! I’m an American/
English Bulldog mix and I’m 60 pounds of pure
wiggles and cuddles. Con-vincing me that
I’m not a lap baby is almost impossible! I will sit on the couch beside you to watch TV or spend the day in the yard if you prefer outdoors. I love rides, too. I’m currently being
treated for a yeast infection and an ear infection due to neglect, but will be well soon. I never complain and just go
with the flow. My friends at SRC fell in love with me and you will, too! I’m vaccinated, heartworm negative, neu-
tered, micro-chipped and ready to be adopted. My adop-tion fee comes with a $25 discount if you present this ad from PawPrints. So if you are interested in a wonderful little boy, visit www.schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org.
There you can fill out an application or view other pets up for adoption. If you need an application mailed or faxed,
please call 919-723-7145.

◄Hello everyone! I'm Trixie (A071495), a 1-year and 8-month-old female Bull Terrier/Staffordshire Terrier mix. Searching for a sweetheart? Here I am! Friendly, cheerful and eager to please, I can't wait to share my sweet self with a family just as awesome as me! Please come spend some quality time with me - before you know it, we'll be best friends!
◄Hi friends! I'm Molly (A072295), a 3-year-old female Labrador Retriever. I have a shining person-ality to match my gorgeous glossy coat! I'm excep-tionally intelligent and obedient, making me the perfect candidate for you and yours. Can't you see us jogging down the beach, hiking through the woods and cuddling on the couch together?!
◄Hello! My name is Oreo (A072267) and I'm a 1-year-old fe-male kitty. If I were in kitty high school, I'd be voted most likely to succeed at being AWESOME! I'm so very friendly and affec-tionate and just the right amount of playful! If you've been search-ing for a fantastic fe-line sidekick, I'm most definitely your gal!
►Hi! I'm Abbie (A072335), an 8-years-
young spayed Tortie. Some might consider 8
to be old but they are flat-out wrong! I just
consider myself to be aged to purr-fection! I
am such an easy-going lady and so very elegant in my demeanor! I can't wait to be your beloved companion to share in
all of life's simple pleas-ures. Let’s go home!
►Hello everyone! I’m Mia (A072083), a female Walker Hound, just over 1-year-old. I'm a sweet, gentle soul who's ready to share my love with a
great family! If you could use a best friend to share in all the wonderful things
in life (long walks on the beach, car rides to the
doggie park, stopping to smell the roses, going to town on a peanut-butter filled kong... oh wait, is that just a dog thing?),
then please come meet me, I won’t disappoint!
◄Hello there! My name is Moochie (A071541) and I'm a 1-year-old spayed Calico girl. I'm just as loving as I am beautiful which makes me the per-fect choice for your next feline compan-ion! I hope you will please come and spend some quality time with me. You will see what a great catch I am!

I’m Victor and just wait until
you meet me in purrrson. I
know you will fall for my strik-ing amber eyes
and red-gold coat. I am a very calm,
sweet, adult kitty. I love
other cats and gentle dogs,
too. A Shelter Friend volun-
teers say that I am one of the
nicest and sweetest cats they have ever met. I have been neutered
and am up to date on my vaccinations. All I need now is a place on your lap! Please call A Shelter Friend at 910-876-0539 and ask Silvia to make that happen. You can visit A
Shelter Friend online at www.AShelterFriend.org and www.facebook.com/ashelterfriend.

I'm Bart and I know I'm the cutest dog
in these pages, but don't have a cow: you can have all
this adorableness if you make me your own! I am 2-years-old and a friendly
little Lab who would make the perfect addition to your
family. When you adopt me, I
will have gone through training by local correctional
facility inmates via Monty's Home's
Pawsitive Partners Prison Program, and the guys tell me I am a lot better student than the Bart you see on TV! Find out more about me by visiting www.montyshome.org or writing

◄Hi! I’m just one of a whole bunch of kittens and mommy cats who are looking for loving homes. Come visit us often to see all the new arrivals. All cats and kittens are seen by a vet, spayed/neutered, given age-appropriate vac-cines, dewormed and treated for fleas or ear mites, if necessary. Hurry on over and pick your new best friend!
◄Hi there! I’m Abbey and I'm a shy but
gentle cat. Once I learn to trust you, I will give you all the love in the world! I
love to snug-gle and play
or just sleep the day away. I don't really like other ani-mals but get along great with all people. With a little
love, kindness and patience, I promise to be the best cat ever. Call 910-336-7539 for any questions about me!
◄Hi there! They call me Mommy Cat because I just gave birth to my litter of kittens a few weeks ago. Now I'm ready to become the baby of the family in my new forever home. I'm quite shy right now but will warm up quickly if you're gen-tle. Do you have a spot in your home and heart for me?
▲Hello there, my name is Domino! I am a very outgo-ing and friendly 6-year-old cat. I love to roll over and
have my belly rubbed. My favorite thing to do is lay on your lap. Catnip is my favorite toy. Please adopt me!
▲I’m Isis, part Siamese with beautiful blue eyes and color-ful fur. I am 9-years-old, very loveable, friendly and well behaved. Cuddling is my favorite thing. Come visit and
see how beautiful I am. There's no other cat like me!

▲I’m Flip Flop, an orange and white 8-month-old boy who is a real sweetheart! I’ve got everything it takes to make you happy. Come on over and meet me today!
URGENT, URGENT! My Time Is
Running Out! They call me Boo Boo (A012510), the smiling Pit Bull! I suggest you
come to the shelter and see my radiant smile in person. It makes folks laugh when I give them
a grin and it would make you very popular in your neighborhood to have a sweet guy like
me charming everyone. I once was part of a
loving family, but when the landlord saw me,
he said I had to go! He obviously didn’t know me, be-cause if he had, he would have fallen in love with me just like every other human does. I am super-friendly and a
terrific companion. Won’t you come visit and get to know me? My adoption fee includes Distemper/Parvo vaccine, Kennel Cough vaccine, Rabies Vaccine, deworming, 30 day flea/tick treatment and my neuter surgery! The shel-ter is now open on Sundays, from 1pm to 4pm, in case
you can’t come during the week. It’s also open on Satur-days from Noon to 4pm. For more information, please call Pender County Animal Shelter at 910-259-1484 or
email [email protected].
I am sponsored in appreciation of everyone who has rescued a homeless animal.

Cat Tails
▲We’re Morris and Murray. We may look like “grumpy old men” but we are 4-month-old “playaholics.” We will run through your house like a cyclone and then fall fast asleep. We aren’t twins but we sure do look alike. We take great
pride in blaming each other for whatever goes wrong!
◄We’re Gabby and Gilly. We are Nebelung mixes with dark gray, long-hair and just 18-months-old. Like most sisters, one of us is outgo-ing and adjusts to new situations easily - that’s me, Gabby. My sister is more shy and slower to adjust, but she’s also friendly. We’ve been together since birth and would like to stay that way if possi-ble. Our previous owner developed an allergy so we had to go. We are current on all vaca-tions and have already been spayed. Give a chance and help keep us together.
◄We’re Sonny and Cher. We
are the comic relief duo
who loves to run and play
and basi-cally, act the fool. We are
5-months-old, vaccinated and fixed. Sonny is medium-haired, and I am short-haired and we’re both Tabby and
white. We don’t sing and dance, however!
▲We’re Sunset and Calabash. We’re 2-year-old sisters, and our specialty is that we are declawed. I’m Sunset and
I’m a Calico Tabby with a lot of rusty orange coloring. Calabash is also a Calico Tabby. I am the outgoing one and Calabash is more reserved. We are both fixed and
vaccinated and ready to go home with you today.
▲We’re Woody and Whitney. Although we like to rock and roll, much like our namesakes, neither one of us can carry a tune! I am a white and dark Tabby and Whitney is
a Calico, the typical showy female. We are only 10-weeks-old and we’ll be fixed prior to adoption.
It’s Siblings Month!
In honor of summer vacation, we’re doing a sibling special. You have to learn to play together, so here are some that do:

I was so scared when I was brought to C.A.R.E. I had been left outside alone with a broken hip and tail. Luckily,
C.A.R.E. helped get me the surgery I needed and is helping me recover from my injuries. I am not sure why someone
would have abandoned me but it hasn't affected my love for people. My name is Precious and I am quite the athlete. I have fun playing with my soccer balls and bird toys. For

◄The white patch of fur between my eyes is shaped just like a dia-mond. So, naturally, that became my new name: Diamond! (Good thing it wasn’t a square - that just doesn’t sound as cool.) I’m a 1-year-old boy who is used to living inside-only. I’m good with other cats and even dogs. I also am used to being around kids. Please adopt me, I’m a great boy!

▲Where are all the people who love orange Tabby boys? Aren’t you out there? My name is Larry and
I’m managing to make the best of my current situation with my upbeat and very friendly personality. I’ve
become best friends with Rocco, pictured on the right at bottom. Just a thought, but maybe you’d like to
adopt Rocco and I together! We sure do get along. I’m a 1-year-old, darling boy who enjoys laying in the sunshine and being rubbed. Please come meet me!
◄My name is Doser and I’m the kind of dog who really loves being part of a family! That’s why it’s so sad that I’m waiting for one in a shelter. I just want to love and be loved. At 7-months-old and a medium-sized 51 pounds, I’m a Hound/German Shepherd mix who is neutered and up to date on shots. I just adore people and am friendly to other dogs. Won’t you come visit and get to know me?
◄Hello! My name is
Rocco and I’m a little boy, just 2-years-old. I
once had a home but the
other cat didn’t take a liking to me. It’s odd, because I get along great with other
felines! I play very nicely
with the other kitties at the shelter. In
fact, one of my best friends is Larry, who is also pictured
on this page. I’m used to living indoors-only, and I’m a very friendly and loving lap cat. If you’re ready to feel
special and adored, be sure to come adopt me!
◄Well, hello up there! My name is Leo and I’m ready to keep you company at the house, condo or apartment you call home! You see, I’m used to indoor-only living so I’ll be quite content to watch the world go by from a spot of sunshine next to the window. I’m a 1½-year-old boy who is friendly and super-sweet! I love every human I meet and am friendly to cats and dogs!
My name is Winnie, and I’d like to say Thank You to the couple who found me on the highway. I was just totally
exhausted, my feet were bleeding and I had no more en-ergy to fight for myself. They wrapped me up and took me
to Paw’s Place. The first things I received were a warm welcome and gentle touches. Then they gave me food
and water – and I slept. The next day I was taken to the vet. We think that I am about 3-years-old. I had bite marks all over me – probably from other dogs. I was
tested for heartworms and a tick born illness, but so far – I’m okay. I’ll be retested in 6 months. I am so happy to be able to just be a dog. I know that good things are in store for me when I have put some weight on and have been
spayed. I will be ready for adoption by the end of July. I hope you will come and visit me in the meantime! Call
Paw’s Place at 910-845-7297 and tell them you’re on your way. We’re open every day from 9am-Noon!
I am sponsored in loving memory of
Grace Harrington.
Are you looking for a companion
to take on outings to the beach or park? Pick me! I’m Dixie and I love doing stuff like that! I’m a
playful girl, but I still know my
commands. In fact, I’m sitting on command in my photo. (Just be-tween you and
me, I was waiting for them to throw me a tennis ball!) I’m 7-years of age
and I’m a total sweetheart.
There’s not a mean bone in my body. I’m house-trained, love affection and can’t get enough hugs or kisses. I’m a
Terrier mix who is great with older children and other dogs (but no cats, please.) I hope after reading this that you can see I’d be an excellent companion, ready-made to move on in with you and start making happy memories! For adoption info, please call SOAR at 910-457-6340.
They’ll be happy to give you driving directions so that you can hop in the car and come meet me!
I am sponsored by SOAR in loving memory of all
their wonderful, furry friends who made it safely to the Rainbow Bridge.

◄My name is Sandy (A305429) and my owners surrendered me to the shelter because they couldn’t keep me. I’m a 5-year-old Lab mix who is spayed, vaccinated and very happy. I love to have fun, I like playing with toys, and I’ll sit by your feet while you brush me. I’m eager to please and very smart. I solved one of those interactive treat puz-zles in mere seconds. Let’s love each other.
◄My name is Scharlet (A305686) and I’m home-less through absolutely no fault of my own. Unfortu-nately, my human is termi-nally ill so I came to the animal shelter to find a new family to love. I’m a gorgeous, long-haired girl who is very sweet. I will rub up against your legs and I love to be rubbed and brushed. I’m already spayed and vaccinated so I’m prepared to move in with you today.
►My name is Freckles (A306064) because of
these cute little freckles on my nose. I am
homeless because my family moved and left me behind. My ideal home would be one
filled with love and the promise of a lifetime
commitment because I don’t ever want to feel unwanted again. I’m 7-years-old, spayed, house-trained, vacci-
nated and super loving. I will sit, lay down,
shake, and roll over on command and I’m
great on a leash. I’m good with kids, cats and other dogs, and I’m also good with children. If you could love a laid-
back, mellow sweetheart who loves to be brushed, please save me. Grow old with me! The best is yet to be.
▲Our mommy was a stray who wasn’t fixed so here we are! We are Susie, Fran and Danny (A305758-A305760) and we are adorable, purry kittens. We are sweet, playful, wonderful babies who love to be held. We love it so much
that we’ll totally relax in your arms like a ragdoll. We’ve already been spayed or neutered and are current on age appropriate vaccinations. Come get a sandpaper kiss!
►Hello! My name is Cat Daddy (A306008) and I’m a very sweet and handsome fellow who’s a hit with the ladies. I’m such a loveable kitty that I
deserve to be treated like royalty. When you
come visit me at the shelter, I’ll probably be hiding in the back of my cage but just reach in and pet me, and you’ll see how friendly and
cuddly I am. I’m talkative and purry, I like to give headbutts and I
love to be rubbed. My new home should have plenty of wet food ‘cause I dig it the most. I’ve already been neutered
and vaccinated so I’m ready to be adopted today!
◄I’m a dark chocolate Labrador Retriever named Tamalito (A306025) and I’m full of love. I’m just 2-years-old and simply a fan-tastic boy. I love to run and play and will come over to you and roll over for lots of belly rubs. I’m a gentle guy who is good on a leash. I’m neutered and vacci-nated and I know how to sit, shake, lay down and roll over on com-mand. I’m eager to meet my forever family!

Hello, friends, my name is Bailey! I’m a
6-year-old, spayed female Bloodhound and I have a very
sweet and happy dis-position. I lost my
home when my own-ers moved away, so I’m hoping someone reading this will want a gorgeous girl like me to light up their life! I am friendly to kids and I like cats.
I’m used to living and sleeping in the house with my family, and I
also enjoy playing outdoors in a fenced-in yard. I can sit on command and am happy to meet all new people. I give folks at the shelter the impression that I will settle in well
anywhere. It’s obvious that I would love companionship to enjoy. I do weigh in at 120 pounds so that will have to be a consideration in my new home. For adoption information, call the New Hanover Humane Society at 910-763-6692 .

I’m a Laid-back, Fun Cat Looking for Love!
I’m Bubba Squeaker, a loving, laid-back, fun cat, not a kitten but I sure act like one. I am only 5½-years-old and I love head rubs with butt-scratches at the same time. I get along great with lazy dogs and playful cats, but the kitties I
live with are seniors and do not want to play with me. It stresses them out, so my mom has made the difficult deci-
sion to find me a new home and I have watched her cry over it. But to make me happy and everyone else, she has decided to find me a loving, indoor-only home. I am vacci-nated and neutered. I also am on good flea stuff, so call
910-619-6363 or 910-769-2891. Thanks, Squeak.
I am sponsored in memory of my brother, Conan, and all rescues given a chance.

Always thought adopting a senior dog wasn't for you? Well, my foster mom says you would truly be missing
out if you didn't take a chance on me! My name is Caine and I was left without a pet parent when my dad passed away a year ago of cancer. My foster mommy took me in after that. She tells me often that I am a
wonderful, loyal, gem of a dog. I love people so much and will do anything to please my pet parent. I may be 11 but I still love to play ball, go for walks and ride in the car. I am completely house-trained and even though I do great in a crate I don't ever need to go in one when you’re not home.
I enjoy the simple life - sleeping is something I am very good at and I will happily cuddle with you on the couch. I
am in great health, neutered and up to date on shots. There is only one small thing about me. You see, I never
grew up with any other pets; it was always just me and my dad. The one time I met other dogs they attacked me and I had to have emergency medical treatment to save my life,
so a home without other pets or tiny children would be ideal for me. I hope this will be my chance at a furever
home. My foster mom will donate 3-months worth of food, 6-months of heartworm prevention and free pet sitting for
life (she runs a pet sitting business) with my adoption! Call my foster mommy today at 910-538-0106. Love, Caine

and passed my vet exam with flying colors. I’ve been spayed and
I’m current on vaccina-tions. I am wonderful with other animals and kids, too. I walk well on a leash and am pretty

sleep on and someone to love me. I am mid-sized at approximately 35 pounds. Any takers? To adopt me, call Adopt-An-ANGEL at 910-392-0557.

My name is Bailey and I am an 8-years-young Shepherd and Chow mix. I hail from
Ohio where unfortunately, my owner recently passed away. His best friend raised money
for me to be flown to NC where I hope to find my new forever home. I am a beauti-ful 65 pound bundle of love. I
am staying with 6 dogs, so it's safe to say I get along
with dogs just fine. I am obsessed with balls, I love to chase them and I will run after them as long as
you keep throwing them. I am fully vetted, spayed, on heartworm prevention and microchipped. I really
am a lot of fun. Call R.A.C.E. at 910-547-2839 or visit us on the web at www.raceshelter.org.
Here I am, the perfect dog! Hello, my name is
Baxter and I am an adorable Cairn Terrier
mix. There is not a whole lot to say about me. I am 8-years-old
and I would just love to sit in your lap or on the
couch with you and watch TV and snooze. I do have some arthritis
in my hips and I am on Rimadyl. I also have compro-mised hearing. I also have cataracts but I can still see pretty good. If you are looking for a couch buddy, I'm the one! Please call R.A.C.E. at 910-547-2839 or visit us on the web at www.raceshelter.org. Please like us

Hi, I'm Camper and my foster mom tells me that I'll be the perfect family
dog. I'm a 2 to 3-year-old
Walker Hound who is up to date on vac-
cines and neutered. I'm great with other dogs, love cats and all sizes of people. As you can see by the picture, it didn't take me long to get comfortable in-side but I've spent most of my time outside. When I'm in my outdoor kennel, I never bark or howl. I'm eager to please and waiting patiently to meet my forever family. Call 910-271-3101 to see what an awesome dog I am. You won't be disappointed.

I've lived with other cats and dogs. I'm spayed, up to date on my vaccines and tested negative for FIV and Feline Leukemia. Call 910-271-3101 to meet me and

◄URGENT, URGENT! My Time is Running Out! I’ve been at the shelter for
two months and there’s just no logical reason why! I’m an affectionate and friendly girl who could be making a person or family very happy
right this minute! My name is Princess Panda (A012040) and I have soft, long, black
and white fur, just like a Panda Bear! I’m a young girl at 2-years-old and I really like to be held and cuddled. Do you need a lap cat as a new
best friend? Rescue me from my current situation and I’ll thank you with all my heart!
◄I look like a Teddy Bear come to life, and I’m as cuddly as one, too! My name is Sarah (A012705) and I was once part of a loving family, but my owner suffered a stroke and there was no one else to take me in. At just 7-years of age, I’m a very sweet, house-trained, Chow mix girl with a gorgeous red coat of fur. I so desperately want to be part of a family again, it’s what I’m used to! Let’s go.
NOW OPEN ON SUNDAYS! 1pm to 4pm
Please Adopt! WE’RE OVERCROWDED AND NEAR CAPACITY.
◄Hey there! I’m just chillin’ out on this hu-man’s shoulder with my paws crossed, waiting for my new family to walk through the door. My name is Luna (A012493) and I’m a fantastic Tor-toiseshell girl with a laid-back and friendly dispo-sition. The workers here say that I’m one of the most affectionate cats at the shelter. Won’t you do yourself a HUGE fa-vor and come adopt me?
►Hello there! It’s me, Skye Blue (A012817)
and I’m the prettiest Siamese mix girl you
ever did lay eyes on, I’m willing to bet. Just gaze
into my stunning blue eyes and kiss my sweet face - I’m quite adept at
melting hearts, I tell you! And look at how laid-back I am, resting on
this person’s shoulder. Now why am I sitting in a shelter when I could
be home with you?
◄Hello there, my name is Rex (A011877)! I’m a neu-tered Pit Bull mix who is not quite 2-years-old. I am super-sweet and well-mannered so I’d be a won-derful companion for you! My former family just loved me and said I was perfect in almost every way, but they had a kitty and I just love to chase cats. So it’s pretty easy, all I need is a cat-free home and life will be grand with a darling boy like me!
►I’m Roxy (A012716), a gorgeous girl who looks like a mix be-tween Border Collie
and Retriever. At just 1½-years-old, I lost my
home because my owner could no longer
keep me. I am very sweet, but a bit shy at
first meeting. I haven’t been walked on a
leash much, but I’m a smart girl so I’m sure I’d pick it up quick! Is
there a kind and pa-tient person out there who’d love to adopt a
sweetheart like me?

My name is Priscilla and I am a black smoke Tabby. My markings are beautiful, but you will need to see me in per-
son to appreciate my true beauty. I have deep, soulful green eyes. I was turned in to the shelter with kittens who have all been adopted - so hopefully someone will adopt
me, their mother someday. I am affectionate, outgoing and quite the talker. Will you come lend me your ear, a home
and the life I was meant to have? If you would like to know more about me, call Adopt-An-ANGEL at 910-392-0557.

My name is Mr. Sacha and I am in Columbus Humane Society foster care since I was surren-dered to the animal shelter in Whiteville a month ago. My
face and a few other spots were
covered in mange - easy to treat and nearly gone now. But I had some
quirks which made my foster parents wonder about my treatment in the
past. When I went to the park with the
rest of the pack, all I wanted to do was hide. While they ran and swam and played, I dove under the bushes. When I get my food bowl, I hang back - kinda the opposite of food aggression - I can’t believe that a whole bowl of delicious
kibble is for me! I usually wait for the humans to disappear before I devour my food, but I am getting more relaxed about it all the time. I get along with dogs and cats and
every size human. I love attention, scratches, chasing the ball, and being inside on a cozy bed. I have never gone to the bathroom in the house. Now that I live indoors, I have no intention of blowing it! I am neutered and weigh around 45 pounds. I have had all my shots and am looking for just
one thing: kindness. To adopt me, please email [email protected] or call 910-619-3015.

►Talk about close calls! I was rescued on the very day I was
about to be eutha-nized at an Animal Control in another
county. That was a very happy day for
me, and now I’m hop-ing for another happy day, the one where I meet my new family!
I’m Cinnamon and I’m a very sweet and
friendly girl. I’d be great in a home with
kids ages 10 and older (since I’m playful like a
puppy) and I’m happy to be with other medium to large dogs. I’m just 1-year-old and ready to start my new life!
►I’m a Family Dog in need of a family! My name is Daisy and I have every-
thing it takes to be a loving companion to you and your
kin. I’m house-trained, which is always a plus, and I’m leash-trained, too. Tak-ing me for walks is pure joy
because I ‘stroll’ when I’m out, I never pull or give you
any trouble. Oh, and tell me to ‘sit’ or ‘lay down’ and I’ll do it. Isn’t it a shame for
a great dog like me to be alone? Please adopt me!
◄Hi there, my name is Buttons! I’m a big, beautiful boy who welcomes loving attention from humans. I curl my face into your palm and purr. My loving owner passed away unexpectedly and now I’m looking for another home. I’m neutered, up to date on shots and great in the litterbox. I’d be an affectionate companion for some very lucky person. Visit me!
►SMALL DOG ALERT! Hey there, my name is Pluto (A046207) and I’m a certified
Heart-Melter. I’m a small Schnauzer boy - perfect for snuggling in your lap. I’m
SO precious! I was born in February 2013 so I’m really just a puppy. I came to the
shelter with my brother, Otto, but he was just adopted. Now I’m lookng for a new
companion. How about you? I’m a very loveable and
friendly fellow and I enjoy being with people and other dogs. I’m also great at sitting
on command as you can see from my photo. Come on over and meet me! But you better hurry, I’m a real gem!
►Precious Puppy Alert! Delicious puppy breath and cuddly cuteness is
waiting for you at the shelter! My name is Starbuck and I’m an
8-week-old mixed-breed boy who was rescued
from a bad situation by a very nice policeman.
Now I’m melting hearts wherever I go! I’m a
playful, happy guy who just wants to love and be
loved. Take me home!
◄Kittens, Kittens, Kittens!
We know what you’re thinking: “How will I ever choose among these three kit-
tens? They’re all simply adorable!” Don’t worry, we
know what to do. Come to the shelter, pick us up, cuddle and kiss us, watch
us play, and soon one of us will snatch your heart away! We are Tigger,
Fred, and Zenia (Fred is the only boy) and we are 12-week-old babies who
were found on the road. Our mom had been killed by a car and a kind man heard us crying. Now we’re hopping
around, playing and bouncing, napping in balls of fur and waiting for our new families to show up!

Doh! Did you all notice that my tongue
is almost as big as my ears? I'm Homer, a 3-year-old Walker Hound and I am just

treatment. You wouldn't think a past owner would neglect
me so much I be-came sick, but that's
all in the past. Monty's Home treats me like the king that I am and promises me that life will change dramatically for

Hi, I’m Julius, a 2-year-old, 70 pound German Shepherd! Don’t I look regal?
I’m smart as a whip, too. Unfortu-
nately, my prior owner didn’t care much to work with me and either kept me at home or at
doggie daycare, so I have developed a case of “stranger
danger”. Last year, she turned me over
to my daycare, asking that I be re-homed. Over the past 6-months, I
have been working with Sherri, a won-derful trainer, who
will continue to work with me during and after the adoption process so that you and I may become fast friends. I’m in need of a strong,
but patient handler who enjoys continuous training and lives an active lifestyle who doesn’t mind having me as
their only pet. Please contact Sherri at 910-264-1214 or email [email protected] for more info.
I am sponsored by Pups Play & Stay Daycare &
Boarding. Thank you!

Did you hear? Chuck is available! He is a very sweet, big-eared boy!
He is 11-months-old and was brought into Pine Valley Animal Hospital
when he had been hit by a car in December. He's
perfectly healthy now and he's been neutered,
vaccinated, and even went to obedience training! He's pretty
much full grown now at 47 pounds and he's been living with his foster family of a dog and two cats. He's definitely a lover and just needs someone to get to know him and be his forever home! Please call
R.A.C.E. at 910-547-2839 to adopt him.
Sponsored in loving memory of Roxy.
Of course, being named after Lisa
Simpson, I feel that I am the most intelligent
dog you will meet! (I've just finished read-ing "War and Peace"
and am ready to tackle Shakespeare's early plays.) I'm a 6-month-old Lab - ready to blossom into adult doghood, but still a
pup! Along with being strikingly beautiful
(don't you agree?), I am perfectly behaved,
‘cause when I enter your home, I will
have gone through Monty's Home's PawsitivePartners Prison Program. I think I'm going to go for my PhD next! I am ready to be your favorite little girl. Find out more about
me by visiting www.montyshome.org or writing [email protected]. Or call 910-297-1338. Please like us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/montyshome.
I am lovingly sponsored by Connie and Addie.
Thank you!
My name is Princess and I am 4-months-old. I am a sweet, gentle little girl who is litter-trained, spayed and up
to date on all vaccinations. My sister, Spice Girl, and I have been raised by hand which made us very affection-
ate and cuddly. Our mommy died suddenly when we were one day old and weighed only 2 ounces. Now, we are spunky and friendly. We were raised with other dogs and cats so we are not fearful of them. How precious is this photo! If you would like to adopt one of us, please call Onslow County Partners for Animal Welfare at 484-

◄They call me Cashmere
because I am sooooooooooo
soft! As you can see, I am a beauti-ful Calico girl and I recently arrived at SOAR as a very
young mother - my son Max was just adopted into his
fur-ever home and I am so happy for
him! I am a little shy at first but once I get to know you I would love to let you pet me and rub me and give me love! I am about 1-year-old, spayed and up to date on all shots.
◄Hello there, my name is Baylee! I’m an approximately 2-year-old Beagle/Hound mix girl and they tell me I’m such a babydoll! I have lots of energy, but will gladly stop for some lovin'! I play well with other dogs, both bigger and smaller. I am also spayed, up to date on all vaccinations and I currently weigh around 25 pounds. What a nice size! Won’t you come meet me today? I’ll be waiting for you!
►Roses are red - violets are blue - I’m a beautiful cat - just
waiting here for you! Hi, I'm Lily and if you adopt me you
will also adopt a poet!! As you can
see, I am a beautiful girl but I am also very sweet. I love to sit in laps and get my head
rubbed. I live with other cats at the shel-ter so I think it would be fine for me to live
with other cats at your house, too.
Can't wait to meet!
►My name is Angela (I’m
the pure white beauty at the bottom) and these are my adorable kit-
tens! They are sure to grow up into cats
just as lovely as me. My
story begins a bit sad as I
was left behind when the peo-ple I lived with moved away. They left me
alone, pregnant and scared! Thank good-ness for the
kind real estate agent who dis-
covered me and my newborn
babies (3 boys and 2 girls.)
She brought us all to live at
SOAR until we find our forever homes. I am approximately 1 to 2-years old. I have a calm disposition and I love affection! I, along with my kittens, will be avail-able for adoption mid-July. But, in the meantime, you can come meet us and fill out a pre-adoption application! For
driving directions or more information, please call SOAR at 910-457-6340.
►Meet SOAR’s new-est handsome boy - it’s me, Merlin! And yes -
I’m a full-blooded Chow! Purple/black tongue and all! I’m
about 7-years-old and was surrendered when
my person had to downsize and couldn't
take me with her. I am a sweet fuzz ball and
will sit for a treat. I walk well on a leash,
am neutered and vac-cinated. However - I’m
not a cat person - so please - no cats!

Hello! I’m a family-friendly
girl and my name is Lily. Perhaps my name should be "Miracle" as I was res-
cued after being seen
running down busy I-40 with
no collar. Despite being a stray, I am well-trained and very so-cial toward humans.
When people enter my ken-
nel, I don’t jump up on them like some dogs do, I sit nicely and wait
for them to pet me. I sit for treats, too! I also appear to be house-trained because I don’t like to use the bathroom in my kennel. I’m spayed, vaccinated, 1-year-old and I walk well on a leash. I’m also gentle and sweet and simply a joy. Call Pender County Humane Society at 910-259-
7022 and tell them you’d like to meet me!

AHOY! My name is Capt. Jack and I am 3-months-old.
I was born with an under-developed eye and am blind in that eye. The vet eye
specialist says I should be
fine. No future problems ex-
pected and no treatment
needed. My other eye is perfect. My foster mom
says I am the best kitten ever! She says I am friendly, playful and love-
able. I also have two beautiful sisters looking for homes. I get along well with other kitties and friendly dogs. If you would like to adopt me, call Cat Tails at 910-253-1375.
I know you will be glad you did!
I am sponsored by Katie Wallace. Thank you!
Okay, I'm not one of the Simpson dogs but I am a celebrity! I was named Sonny, from the team "Sonny and
Cher." (And if you look through this magazine,
you will find Cher!) I'm a 6-month-old Lab/
Boxer mix and, in my opinion, I don't look like the real Sonny - I think I
favor George Clooney, don't
you agree? By the time you adopt me, I will be a graduate of the Pawsitive Partners Prison Program training program. I am very special. Hurry and adopt me - you will not regret it, I promise. You will be singing, "I Got You, Babe!" every
day! More info needed? Write to [email protected] or call 910-259-HOME (4663). Please like us on Facebook at

and even those crazy dogs that people seem so attached to - go figure! We all know that “cat’s rule” - not dogs. However, I’ve been here at the Onslow County Animal
Shelter way too long now, so ya’ll need to come and bust me out of this place. I will be eternally grateful and I’ll
keep you company for the rest of my days - sitting on your lap giving you sandpaper licks and lots of contented purrs. I’m the “purrfect” cat! Let me prove it to you! The shelter is located at 244 Georgetown Road in Jacksonville. To

Shelter News & Events

The national organization, Pets for Vets, Inc., is headquartered in the Wilmington area. Pets for Vets provides a second chance for shelter ani-mals by rescuing, training and pairing them with America’s veterans who could benefit from having a companion ani-mal. Professional animal trainers rehabilitate the dogs and teach them good manners to fit in with the veteran’s life-style and personality. Veterans may apply online via the website www.pets-for-vets.com. In order to serve more veterans and shelter animals, the chapter is in need of volunteers, especially trainers and fosters. If you are interested in volunteering, please send an inquiry to [email protected].

Fireworks Are No Blast For Pets This Fourth of July, please be aware that your pet could be severely frightened by the sound and sight of fireworks and could run away if not kept indoors at home in a secure place. PawPrints Magazine and local shelters routinely receive calls and emails from frantic owners who have lost their pets after firework displays. Oftentimes, the owners had no idea that their pet could be disturbed by loud noises until it was too late. To protect your pet during firework celebrations, the Humane Society of the United States offers the following precautions: ●Resist the urge to take your pet to fireworks displays. ●Do not leave your pet in the car. This provides an oppor-tunity for your pet to be stolen. ●Keep your pets indoors at home in a sheltered, quiet area. Some animals can become destructive when fright-ened, so be sure that you've removed any items that your pet could destroy or that would be harmful to your pet if chewed. Leave a television or radio playing at normal volume to keep him company. ●If you know that your pet is seriously distressed by loud noises like thunder or fireworks, consult with your veteri-narian for ways to help alleviate fear and anxiety. ●Never leave pets outside unattended, even in a fenced yard or on a chain. In their fear, pets who normally would-n't leave the yard may escape and become lost, or become entangled in their chain, risking injury or death. ●Make sure your pets are wearing identification tags. Animals found running at-large should be taken to the local animal shelter, where they will have the best chance of being reunited with their owners.

ONSLOW COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES
I hope you will stop by the shelter, go up to the front desk and let them know my I.D. number.
They will bring me out to visit with you so we can get to know each other firsthand. You can’t tell much from a distance so we need to be close and
I can visit with you. Then you will see what a terrific guy I am. I’m a great dog, well-behaved, have my shots, and
I’m looking for a “forever family” who needs a dog like me to add to their family unit. By the way, my name is
Ranger (A076304). So saunter on up to the front desk at Onslow County Animal Shelter, ask for me and let me

4 PAW LIFESAVER RESCUE
I’m Mayze and I’m a 3-year-old Eng-lish Lab mix who weighs 55 pounds. I have been with my foster home for a year. Everyone keeps telling me how sweet and perfect I am, but for some reason no one has adopted me yet. I really am a good girl! I have been to doggy obedience
school and am very well-mannered. I'm house and crate-trained, but my foster mom just lets me nap on the
couch while she's at work. I am really good in the car and walk nice on a leash. I love little humans! I have 3 of my own at my foster home and I am really good with them. I get along fine with boy dogs, but
prefer to be the only girl in the house. To adopt me, please email [email protected] or call 252-531-0744.
My name is Fletcher and I’m a cute guy who is a little over 1-year-old. I am a flame point Siamese mix with blue eyes.
My ears and tail have the orange color. When I was
rescued, I had a severe upper respiratory infection and ear mites. I have a bit of a head tilt that is because of the ear mites. I have been neutered,
vaccinated and am ready for a safe, inside loving home. I like to cuddle and sit in your lap. I’m a constant purr ma-
chine and I am fine with other cats. If you are looking for a sweet loveable kitty, I'm the one for you. To find out more,

little stubborn. But that is who I am. I am also neutered and up to date on all my shots. I would love to spend the

black and white Lab mix who is looking
for an exercise part-ner. I love the water and I would be great at agility training or
Frisbee - you should see me jump! I was
treated for heart-worms, am up to date on my vaccines and spayed. I like to herd cats, so
should probably be in a home without them, but I get along with most dogs. I'm such a friendly girl, I was at an adop-

new people. If you’d like to meet me, call 910-271-3101.

I do love to run around for a bit,
though, so a fenced yard would be awe-
some. I have no problems at all with dogs, cats or kids. I also walk very well on a leash. I may be a little older at 9-
years, but I am past the shoe-chewing and jumping-on-you stage. Will you take a chance on a quiet, sweet girl

named Singer and I love EVERYONE, even dogs.
I play a lot and when I was younger I was playing with a sewing needle and decided to eat it. Have
you guessed how I got my name? I have learned from my mistakes and
hope to find a new home and family to love me. Is
it with you? For more information about adop-
tion or donations, please go to www.carewilmington.org or call 910-256-2624.

My name is Blaze and I am a handsome Labra-dor Retriever and Pitbull boy of 8-months. You
can see by my distinctive face why I am called
Blaze! I’m fully vetted, heartworm negative,
weigh approximately 40 pounds, crate and house-
trained, and have been working very hard with my trainer (Gemma) at
Paws Training Center in Wilmington. The com-mands I follow are sit, stay, kennel, off, up,
down, quiet - I told you I was special!! I would
love to continue to work hard with my forever fam-
ily, bonding closer and learning even more com-mands. I love children and other dogs and, to
be honest, I really love lots of attention! I love to run and play so a solid wood or electric fence would be key. If you
would like to adopt me, please call Onslow County Partners for Animal Welfare at 484-883-3552 or email
[email protected] and we will arrange a meeting at Paws Training Center in Wilmington. You won't be disappointed.

Hi, my name
is Sweetie Pie
because I am just that, a sweet-heart! I
came from the Duplin
County shelter a
few months
ago and I had been used for nothing
but breeding in my past life. Those days are over and now I am just patiently waiting for my furever home. I am about 2-years-old and I LOVE people. I would prefer a home with no small dogs or kitties, but a home with a male dog would
be perfect! I have been completely vetted and I have learned some fun commands like ‘sit’ and ‘lay down’. I
really am such a good girl and I would be forever grateful if you considered me as your new fur kid. To meet me,
please call my friend Lani at 910-599-1712 or you can call Leanne with Pender Perfect Pets at 910-538-0106 anytime!
I will see you soon, right?!
I am sponsored by my loving rescuer Lani Wagner. Thank you!

COASTAL CAROLINA BOSTON TERRIER RESCUE
I’m Bryce and I’m actu-ally a pretty shy guy. I
love my people and mak-ing them happy but I’m not comfortable around dogs who want to play
rough. I’m a homebody who loves to play fetch, run in the yard, snuggle
with my people or snooze in my crate with
my blanket and toys. For more information or to
contact my Coastal Caro-lina Boston Terrier Rescue foster family, please email
[email protected] or call 252-633-0987. Visit us online at www.ccbtr.org or check us out on Facebook.
CAROLINA POODLE RESCUE
My name is Star and I am a tiny, 8-year-old, 7 pound girl. After I was rescued from a hoarding situation,
these wonderful folks brought me up to date
on all my vaccines, had me spayed and my teeth cleaned. I feel marvelous and I love everyone I meet!
My house-training is improving and I love to go for walks and car rides. Both my foster mom and the vet say I am
doing great and would really benefit from having a forever home. Do you have room in your heart and home for me? If so, go to our website at www.carolinapoodlerescue.org
and apply or give us a call at 864-489-3559.
CAROLINA BASSET HOUND RESCUE
My name is “Sugar Pie
Honey Bunch” but you can
call me Honey. I’m a simply delight-
ful, middle-aged lady
from Eastern North Caro-lina. Despite
my hard knock past, I’m a consummate Basset optimist! I was homeless and raiding trash cans for food, but now I’m found. Caro-lina Basset Hound Rescue saved me! I need to bend your
ear for a second though and discuss my ear. Unfortu-nately, the doctors are going to have to work on it a little bit but don’t you fret none – I promise when I’m all fixed up, I will listen to you just as good as I would have with a
perfect ear – Basset’s honor! We Bassets take our “listening” seriously! And if you buy that, I’ve got a lovely ocean front cottage in Arizona where we can summer to-gether! Once my stint in rehab is done, I’m going to be looking to make up for lost time. I’m talking belly rubs, treats and the whole nine yards. I’ve got plans – BIG
plans! Don’t you want to be part of this happily ever after? Ask for me, Honey! 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 Carolina Basset Hound Rescue for more details.
BOSTON TERRIER RESCUE TEAM CAROLINA
Hello, I'm Tyson. I like to play tug and fetch and catch my tennis ball. I get so excited my whole
back-end wags. I also love to be loved and scratched and - I can't help it - I just bounce all around because it feels so good. I don't
really like being around other dogs because I want to be the
center of attention. I am 9-years-old and have never been around
children, so my foster mom thinks it would be best if my new home didn't have any small children. My foster mom also says I am really smart, so I can be taught things. I'm looking forward to finding my forever home. Is it with you? Please email [email protected] or call 828-778-2045.
SCHNAUZER RESCUE OF THE CAROLINAS
Hi, I’m Lucy! I’m a tiny mini-Schnauzer girl. I’d love to find myself in a stable home environment with no small children. I love other dogs, but never got the training I needed as a tiny pup so I
play more aggressively than necessary. I am still a
sweetheart and will learn with the proper effort. I’m just 12 pounds of playful
energy, so I’d love an adop-tive parent who has the
patience to work with me as I mature. I am young, spayed, microchipped and vacci-
nated. In the right environment, I will do great! My adop-tion fee comes with a $50 discount with the presentation of this PawPrints ad. So if you are interested in a wonderful
little girl, visit www.schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org. There you can fill out an application or view other pets up for adoption. If you need an application mailed or faxed,
please call 919-723-7145.

Looking for a friendly and playful
kitty? Well, my name is Baby and I LOVE to play! I am
a very sweet girl who enjoys all mazes and ball
toys. I will be affec-tionate, I will purr
and I will speak to you once I feel su-per safe and se-
cure. I'm a highly intelligent girl who is
already spayed, vaccinated and litter-
box-trained. They call me Baby be-
cause I often cheer up the group. I'm also best friends with Edward, pictured
right next to me. You can adopt me separately, or you can adopt Edward and I together! Give Cat Adoption Team a call at 910-792-9014 if you’d like more information. We’re

Edward. Nice to meet you. I am a beauty, as you can
