Kittens

Note from Patty Long: My uncle told me about a neighborhood cat that had a litter of kittens. She had five. They are trying to find homes for them before they are taken to the SPCA. The kittens are about six weeks old and are starting to venture around more. They are beginning to climb up into the vehicles and laying on the tires and the engine. We know what horrible things can come from that and having them wonder into the main street is a fear as well. I decided to take one of the kittens, but unfortunately the kitten attacked my toy poodle who is 12 years old, has arthritis and is blind. I would hope they would eventually be friends, but since I work I can’t be there to make the friendship blossom!! Basically I took the kitten back to her momma. They are so adorable and I would like to help find a home for them. They are very tame around people, but just using their natural instincts when it comes to other animals. I’ve attached some pictures in the hopes that you may know someone who may be interested.

Please contact Patty at long2pa@jmu.edu if interested.

FOUND A HOME!!!!!!!!!!!! 6/2/11

FOUND A HOME!!!!!!! 6/2/11
FOUND A HOME!!!!!! 6/2/11 STRETCH WENT TO A HOME THAT WASN'T A PROPER FIT FOR HIM AND NOW HE'S BACK WITH HIS PRIOR OWNER. THE ASSESSMENT OF THE SITUATION: HE WAS BEING SHUT IN A SMALL ROOM WHICH HE OBVIOUSLY HATED SO HE WAS TRYING TO GET OUT. HE ALSO LIKES TO BE WITH OTHER DOGS BECAUSE HE INTERACTS WITH THEM BEAUTIFULLY. HE DOES GET NERVOUS WHEN THERE'S A STORM - HE PACES. HE'S TRULY A WONDERFUL DOG WHO DESERVES YET ANOTHER CHANCE SO IF INTERESTED, AGAIN HERE IS HIS STORY! TANYA

Here’s his story: my son got him from the shelter. He had belonged to one family all his life but they had a baby who turned out to be severely allergic to dogs. So the good news from that is that he is very “normal” – no emotional baggage that some shelter dogs can have! He’s very sweet, calm and gets along just fine with dogs and cats. (The woman my son rented from had 2 cats and another dog). He walked right into our house and settled in with our two labs.

So now my son just got orders from the Coast Guard to move to Puerto Rico for two years, which was totally unexpected, and he’s very sad to leave this little guy. I told him I would take him until we figured out a good solution. He needs somebody that would like a sweet little companion.

His name from his original family is Stretch – don’t ask me why since he is not a very stretched dogJ. We thought maybe it’s because he sometimes lies down with his legs stretched straight back?
He’s 7 years old, neutered, no health problems, has a microchip in his neck for tracking (I assume we can call to have the info changed from my son). Maybe 25-30 lbs? I’m not good at that – I have 100 lb labs! And he’s fluffy which makes it look like there’s more dog under there than there is!

Thanks again Tanya. I hope somebody out there will give him a good home.

ADOPTED!!! ADOPTED!!! Oakley: 2 Year Old Female Shepherd Mix

ADOPTED!!! ADOPTED!!!!
ADOPTED!!! ADOPTED!!!

Oakley desperately needs to get out of the shelter in Culpeper. Her time is running out. She's a 2 yr old female shepherd mix. The shelter will completely vet her (spay, all shots, test for heartworm, etc) if Oakley can find a foster or adoptive home! She's very sweet, shy, and excellent with kids. Please contact patty@werick.com if you can help this sweet girl.

I, Tanya, just received an email from Patty: (5/16/11 2 p.m.)

Keeping in mind that she is in a shelter and she only recently got up (for a long time she was so weak that she just layed there, not getting up to greet anyone or engaging at all)…she IS shy and timid…but if YOU were that emaciated and ill and in THAT prison, you would be scared too! The staff says that so far she has proved to be very easy going with other dogs and the cats. As she gains more confidence and heals MAYBE she won’t be so good…it’s impossible to say…but right now the staff say she is absolutely fine with other dogs and in the cat room she totally ignored the kitties. I suspect she will be very easy to train because of her breed mix, you look into her eyes and there is someone looking back. I just want to clarify so that there is complete transparency of information. She was brought in as a stray…so what can anyone really KNOW about her expect our intuition and gut feelings. Even though she has been neglected, she is still willing to give a little lick to your hand to say thanks. She will need someone that would enjoy nurturing her and watching her bloom into the dog she was SUPPOSE to be!
