Baggins is available for adoption in Northern Virginia, USA, with his life long Siamese cat buddy Mickey through HART

Mickey and Baggins came to HART because their human was deployed to Iraq and something happened that made it where the person could no longer keep them. I don't know the entire story.

He loves the catnip toys at adoption events!

To see Amelia's first photos beginning at the horrible place where I made friends with her and convinced her to let me unchain her, click here: www.flickr.com/photos/dogislove/1795544836/

Amelia went to the vet on Wednesday and she was such a good girl, despite her abdominal discomfort. During her exam, she was giving kisses to the doctor :) Amelia has a severe infestation of gastrointestinal parasites...hookworms, roundworms, & TONS of whipworms. Poor thing. Any food she did receive at her former "home" was not able to be used by her body as a result. She is confirmed to be about 2 years old, and will be spayed & vaccinated as soon as she is a little stronger. She is heartworm negative - YAYYYYY!!! I am so lucky to have found her, as our vet said she likely could not have survived much longer with such a severe infestation of worms. She still has diarrhea, but it is getting better rather than uncontrollably running down her legs and tail constantly. Her tail has a place where it has been broken at some point and her callouses on her elbows & ankles may get smaller, but they will never totally go away. Despite all of this, Amelia is happy and has such a gentle spirit, and one day very soon she will also be healthy. :)

This special girl is looking for a home! If you can show Amelia a lifetime full of TLC, email me at ECSescilla@aol.com. We would love for this girl to go to a Flickr friend so we can watch her blossom and be loved over the next few years :)

Cute young border-collie mix. Female. Has had her shots and is spayed. Seems to know "sit" possibly trained previously. Energetic, loves people and baths. Possible allergies, but easily treated. Very tolerant.

William is available for adoption in Northern Virginia, USA, through HART

This little girl has more energy then the other three puppies combined. Downey literally never stops moving. Even after running and playing for over an hour, she still will not sit still to be petted and never stops moving long enough to do her "business". She is also very dominant and started fights with both Bella and Dozer today. I worry about her future. She sure is pretty but will anyone put up with all her issues? I sure hope so.

Things are going well at foster puppy central. Dozer and Downey have been free of kennel cough symptoms for well over a week now. They will go in for spay/neuter surgery towards the end of the week and will be ready for adoption. Bella has been introduced to them and they are all playing well and wearing each other out.

Dozer continues to be a love bug and unfortunately I can't help but adore him. I guess that means more tears when he leaves. My sadness is a small price to pay though, to save these puppies lives!

There may be thirty black and white cats in the shelter. But Studley is the most cuddly -- and a favorite of the staff. His life's mission is to sit in a warm lap and purr. Studley is FIV+, so he should live indoors.

Remember to have your pets spayed or neutered!

Betsy - one of my new foster babies. Quite photogenic. She has the most terrific ears.

Cee Cee is an 8 month old Shepherd mix. Her previous owners didn't have enough time for her :( Now this beautiful girl is looking for a new home!

This gorgeous boy is a foster pup who came to stay with me last Wednesday. I have been so busy with taking care of all the dogs and planning my daughter's birthday party that I have gotten a bit behind in commenting and in posting photos. Anyway, he too has kennel cough and is being treated with antibiotics. I am keeping him separate from my boys and Brinna, who is now residing in the kitchen. He is sharing the garage with a female puppy. I will post her photo next.

And yes...he is squatting to pee in this shot. I am learning just how hard it is to get a puppy to stand still for a photograph so I took advantage of one of the only times he was actually in one place long enough to get him in focus.

Dozer is about twenty pounds and he fits his name perfectly. He runs into things all the time and has perfected the art of knocking things down. I have to laugh when he does because he looks so clumsy when he is falling over his own big paws. He is super sweet and loves to just sit at my feet to be scratched and rubbed. He seems to be the consumate "OH BOY, OH BOY, OH BOY!!!!" dog who looks up at you with a goofy grin and eyes full of adoration. He loves to pull himself along on the ground by his front paws and loves tummy rubs. This boy is going to make someone very happy!!!!!

Great fun when I rinsed out the kittens' empty can of KMR kitten formula!
Horatio and brother Gitano's story is HERE.

Torino, 04/10/07
Bignè (bianca e crema) e Nerella (nera) sono due cucciole di taglia media di circa 6 mesi, affettuose, dolci e tra loro molto affiatate, il triste destino del canile le ha unite ed hanno imparato a volersi molto bene, a farsi forza l'un l'altra, a giocare, a dormire vicine vicine per non sentirsi sole. E poi... Nerella è diventata la luce di Bignè xchè i suoi occhietti purtroppo non possono vedere, e senza di lei si sente un po' persa.
Gli occhi di Bignè non hanno mai visto il mondo, facciamo in modo che l'amore di una famiglia glielo faccia immaginare come un posto bellissimo!!
Adottabili preferibilmente insieme, ma valuteremo tutte le opportunità.

Brinna has been harder to get shots of because she rarely stops moving. She is doing wonderfully. She has a couple spots of ringworm (highly contagious, ugh!) on her left ear and on her right forehead in front of her ear. Because of this she may not go up for adoption on Saturday. I should find out today. I'll miss her when she goes but I really want her to find her forever home soon.

You must have known I would have to give my foster puppies nicknames. Sweet Bella, aka Belly Button, is doing beautifully. She has really come out of her shell. You can see in this photo she is actually looking at me while I am taking her picture. She wouldn't look me in the face for the first few days. She is having a wonderful time playing with her foster "sister" Brinna. She is also becoming more daring about going for walks and will leave my yard with out her buddy where as before she would freeze at the property line unless Brinna was with her.

It looks like Bella will go to our CMAC adoption event at one of our local malls on Saturday. I will bring her and get to meet whoever adopts her. I hope I don't cry.

She's a 4 month old hound/lab mix. Will be 50lbs when full grown. I picked her up and she curled up in my arms like a baby.

My name is Rascal. Normally I could care less about dogs. But I invite you to attend the 14th Annual Dog Walk and Pet Fair to benefit the homeless animals of the Monmouth County SPCA.
Saturday Oct 6th at Brookdale College, in Lincroft NJ.
It's a big, fun event with great prizes for the most pledges raised, lots of "pet-centric" vendors, exhibits, music, a soap opera star, and more.

"My foster Mom wants to tell everyone that she is very busy with us pups, as well as painting, substitute teaching today, keeping the big dogs happy, and taking care of things with my foster Dad traveling a lot. She is a bit behind on commenting but will catch up as soon as things slow down a little." - BELLA

While at Petsmart on Saturday, September 15th for our adoption event, someone came in with this beautiful Siamese kitten that they found. We took her in as one of our newest rescues.

At the Walk for the Animals. Sam's a very, very sweet 7 month old Black Lab mix. He had such a great time being out and about. Really hope someone adopts him soon!! Please visit him at washhumane.org

I brought him a treat, but he was more interested in a hug. We sat for a long time with his head on my lap. He's available for adoption at www.washhumane.org. 4 years old, 39lbs, #3306066

Check out his video at youtube.com/watch?v=Naz_AvLpERY. Available for adoption at www.washhumane.org

The foster pups, Brinna and Bella, have been with me for a week now. Today they go back to Animal Control for a check-up. If they still have signs of kennel cough, they'll come back home with me for at least another week. Treatment is generally for two to three weeks and Bella at least, still has obvious symptoms. I expect to be bringing them both back home. They are doing beautifully and could both certainly benefit from some more foster time. Bella (the golden pup) is growing more confident every day I I would love more time to work with her. So, we'll check back in later and let you know how things went.

Dani & Skylar will be adopted together when the right family is found. They are both SO sweet and joyful!

I went to take photos again for Animal Compassion Network. Last weekend was the Subaru Pet Adopt-A-Thon, so there were various animal rescues/shelters represented. It was a huge success and lots of dogs got adopted. But these will have to try again next time.

If anyone would like to adopt one of these sweet beauties, go to www.animalcompassionnetwork.org.

Brinna is such a wonderful puppy. She has already learned "sit" and "come". She has been so playful with Bella and the two are already fast friends. This little girl is going to make someone very happy. With the proper training, this puppy has the personality to become an amazing dog. She has all the qualities of a happy, "balanced" girl.

I got a call from my "boss" at Charlotte/Mecklenburg Animal Control. They had 7 puppies with kennel cough and no place to keep them. all the sick kennels were full and the puppies could not go in with the healthy dogs and spread the illness. Fosters had stepped up for 5 of the puppies but there were two left. If a foster family couldn't be found, the puppies would be put down. Well, of course I could not let that happen!

Friday morning I went in to the shelter and picked up my new charges. They both have kennel cough and will be with me from 2 - 3 weeks until they are healthy. I give them their medicine twice a day with their food. My 3 boys are vaccinated for Bordatella but so far I am keeping the foster girls separate from my boys.

ABOUT BELLA:
This pretty girl is about 16 weeks old. She has had a difficult start and is very timid. In the 24 plus hours we've had her she is already becomming more confident and playful. It is a joy to see. She loves to play with Brinna and is learning to be a puppy by following her example. She was afraid to come out of her crate at first and was difficult to coax out. She is still tentative, but comes out with encouragement (or food or a chance to play with Brinna). This puppy has some small scares on her face. When I picked her up, she was covered in flea excrement and had very dirty and possibly infected ears. Her eyes are a bit weepy as well. She had a warm bath today and a good ear cleaning. She is noticably underweight. I am hopeful that being here for a few weeks with Brinna and my family will help her build confidence and begin to enjoy her puppyhood. She is a gentle, sweet girl.
P.S. - These pups are keeping me VERY busy so I am getting a bit behind on my comments. Bare with me!

Like his famous namesake, Andrea was born blind. Because of his disability, he needs a patient person with the time, and energy to help him get acquainted with his new home so he does not harm himself. Because of his blindness, he startles easily and tends to test things with his mouth which are still filled with sharp, puppy teeth. Therefore, he'd do best in a home without small children or other animals.

Skittles is available for adoption in Northern Virginia, USA, through HART

Sweet William, or Billy for short, is available for adoption in Northern Virginia, USA, through HART

Billy has a special guardian angel watching over him. Shortly after I took his first kitten photo (below) he became gravely ill and survived a brush with death. The docs had trouble making a diagnosis. He was so anemic they couldn't do all of the needed testing. On the suggestion of a couple of people, his foster mom asked that he be tested for Haemobartonella and that was what the problem was. It is not an easy disease to survive and poor little Billy was just a teeny tiny thing. Little Skittles was Billy's companion through his recovery and it is hoped that the two can be placed in a home together. Today, you'd never know that Billy had ever been sick.

Jinx is available for adoption in Northern Virginia, USA, through HART

Jinx is another who was abandoned outside when his people moved away and left him.

ADOPTABLE: Petfinder page

This is a kitten that I inquired about but that my husband said "No!" to. However, I offered to post the photos on flickr for her owner to see if anyone in our area might be interested. She is 5 months old (born this past March), is a good lap kitty (this is a five-year old she is keeping company with) and she is good with other cats. The owner doesn't have any dogs so she doesn't know how she would be with them. I think this kitty lives in the Fall River area but I can't find the facebook listing I found her in. I will get back to her owner for a better idea of where she is.
Send me a flickr mail if you are interested and I will get you in contact with the owner.

Look at that smiling face! Forest is a young, sweet, male Lab-mix. He's full of energy. He likes to romp with other dogs. More photos at: picasaweb.google.com/mcspca260/ForestDogForAdoption?authk...

"Forest is a large Black Lab mix who is about 1 1/2 years old. He is a very nice dog who thinks he should be a lap dog. Forest is a big baby who likes to lean on you and climb into your lap. He thinks toys and balls are OK, but prefers people, being petted, and getting belly rubs. Poor Forest was abandoned by his previous owners when they moved. Forest deserves a home where he can get lots of exercise and love."

My daughter was just approved to adopt him; we pick him up on Saturday. (After a whole lot of "romancing" the rescue organization, apparently puppies are hard to get and it's very competitive)

Tic and his sister Tiny Tina and brother Tac are available for adoption in Northern Virginia, USA, through HART.

Brother Toe already found his home.

You can tell Tic from Tac by looking at the hair that grows from the inside of their ear. Tic is white, Tac is black. Also, Tic will have gold eyes and Tac will have green.

Tiny Tina and her brothers Tic and Tac are available for adoption in Northern Virginia, USA, through HART.

Brother Toe already found his home.

This litter of kittens was discovered in a backyard at four weeks of age with no mother cat to be found. A neighborhood dog had hurt Tiny Tina. She recovered well but is quite leery of activities she is unfamiliar with. One of the HART mother cats took these babies and raised them up.

The camera frightened her and she was just about to run when I got this one shot off. The only other pics I got of her have her peeking around the side of a box to see what crazy thing I (and her bouncing off the wall brothers) were doing. She is very sweet and loving and even gets over being afraid of new activities easily despite the scary things she has been through.

Dexter is the brother of Desiree and Jasmine. He was VERY shy when he came to us...we couldn't even touch him. Yesterday, he gave me the greatest gift. He came up to me and let me pet him...AND he gave me his belly. Thank you, Dexter...I won't let you down...ever! Dexter lives with his 2 sisters at our no-kill shelter until they find homes. We're a no-kill animal shelter located in Central PA. Go to www.helenkrause.org for more info!
