FOUND A HOME!! Boxers

Hi,

My name is Courtney Cox (Sabrina Cox's sister) I want to start by saying thank you so much for taking the time to try and help us out. If you or anyone you know is willing to take both or just one of the boxers it would be wonderful.

I have two very sweet boxers that I sadly have to surrender. It breaks my heart to give them up but I have to because I just had a baby and he is very allergic to them. I need to have them moved out as soon as possible.

My first boxer Trixi is white and about three years old. We rescued her from the pound 2 years ago. She is good with other dogs and seems to do well with children but has only been around the neighborhood kids. She is fixed and up to date on all her shots and heart worm pills with no health problems. She loves to play fetch and will play for hours, but is very calm when indoors.

My second boxer is Loli and she is black with a white collar. She is very sweet and loyal. We rescued her from a home that was beating her and going to inbreed her. Because of the abuse she is very timid when she first meets people and then she will slowly come around and become attached. She loves all other dogs and is very excited to be around kids that she is very familiar with. She is fixed and up to date on all shots and heart worm meds. She loves to run, and use to run 4-5 miles with me weekly.

They are both well socialized and trained on both voice and hand signals. They are indoor dogs that we have always treated like our children. They both love the water and swimming, and have always done well on vacations and staying in hotels. The only issue that I have ever had is that unfortunately they seem to be partial to color, due to the fact that they were taunted on several occasions by a few African American children. They have never bit anyone but do tend to bark and growl at children that look similar. All other children tho they are happy to see.

We are very upset to have to give them away but we feel it would be unfair to make them outdoor dogs since they always have been inside and around us. We have searched for homes through friends, but have had no luck. I really just want them to go to a good home where they will be just as loved as they were here. I have to give them away as soon as possible because my child is getting worse around them. Please help us. Thank you for your consideration and help.

Temp Foster Homes Needed for JMU Kitties

This mommy and babies were rescued from certain death at the JMU student apartment building on S. Main and Maryland Ave. One of the rescuers (Ramona Messenger) has them on a temporary basis but needs to find folks to help foster them until they can be adopted or placed into foster care with Cats Cradle. She has spoken with CC and their foster homes are all full right now.

She thinks the kittens are about 4 weeks old. They are eating dry (and some moist) food, drinking water, playing like crazy and very happy and apparently healthy. They are adorable, as the photos prove.

Could you share this email with all the animal lovers in your address book? We desperately NEED foster care for these sweeties - they are NOT feral or wild - they are very tame and loving but need human contact and people to play with them and love them until they can find permanent homes. I will continue to be the liaison with Cats Cradle and will help get the kittens into the "system".

Please contact Ramona Messenger at messenrd@jmu.edu

--Free to a good home-- Hi! My name is Susie and I am a sweet, adorable, loving and litter box trained adult kitty. I need a very loving home as my owner can no longer keep me. :( Please call my owner at 540-433-1422.

Male Doberman

Bailey, a fixed male Doberman, is looking for a forever home. He is a "blue" and weighs 103 pounds. His tail is docked but not his ears and he has up-to-date shots. He is currently housed with another dog. With the addition of a new baby in the household bringing his human family to a total of 5 children he needs more space and attention than his current family can give. He's a sweet boy but yet is a good guard dog. He's been raised with 4 little children and is protective, but he thinks he's a lap dog too.

One of his bad habits is chewing things up and stealing stuff off counters and out of trash cans. Another bad habit is trampling over anyone in his way when someone comes knocking at the door. His family knows with some attention, etc he can be corrected of these problems. His human family is just fearful with the new baby. Again, just no more room in the house for 2 big dogs, too. If he just had a place to run and work off energy and have someone willing to work with him he'd be fine. His current family feels he would be better placed with a single person or a couple.

His family is in a time crunch in finding him a good home so please contact Nicole or husband Heath at 908-5417 (cell) for more information.

Jack Russell/Mountain Feist Mix

Hey guys!



"As most of you know, the boys and I got a new puppy. He was born May 20th. He is a Jack Russell/Mountain Feist mix. I really need to find him a home where he either has constant attention or a place to run. He is a very good dog and listens really well. If you are interested in him I will gladly give him to you or if you know someone who might be interested please let me know.

I’ve attached some pictures and he is just adorable. If I could give him the time that he deserves and a place to run I would gladly keep him.

Thanks for any help you can give me. Have a great day!"
