PawPrints Magazine's HOMELESS COVER MODEL
Going on vacation this month? Don’t forget your best friend! My name is Jobi and I’m the male
Basset Hound/Yellow Lab mix you see on the cover. Pictured here below me is
my house mate, Lucy. She’s a short-legged
black and white Basset Hound mix girl. We were
both adopted out by Adopt-an-ANGEL over the last year, but have
been returned. You see, our mommy and daddy broke up and neither
could take care of us separately. It makes us sad to be homeless
again and we are hoping that you can turn our luck around. While we don't
have to be adopted together, it would be nice
if we were. Lucy is an absolute delight -
easygoing, great with kids, cats and dogs. As for me, I’m a loving, friendly sweetheart. We both walk well on a leash and are
house-trained, spayed/neutered, on heartworm prevention and have fantastic house manners. To adopt one or both of us, call Adopt-An-ANGEL at 910-392-0557. We’d like to thank Dick Parrott for
snapping our photos and we hope that the vacation photos you take in your future will always include us!

I’m Downtown Judy Brown and I am a 1½-year-old Pit
Bull. My life did not start out so great - I was found tied up
to a tree in the yard of an abandoned house. I had no food, water or shelter. I was skin and bones when Animal Control found me. Luckily,
Wilmington Animal Healthcare has been taking care of me
until I find my forever home. I have put on some weight and
have been working on my manners. I am working on
sitting on command and walk-ing on a leash. I am also
working on house-training. I am current on all my vaccines, have been spayed and am also current on my heartworm and flea preventions. I like to play with other dogs. I might have too much energy for a home with small children, but I do like to play with older kids. If you would like to meet me, call 910-791-7101 or
stop by Wilmington Animal Healthcare.
I am sponsored by Wilmington Animal Healthcare. Thank you!
Hey there! My name is Emmett. I
am a 7-year-old Chesapeake Bay Retriever/mutt mix who is in search of a fantastic home. Although I am 7, I am a kid at heart who loves to play. I can be both the
cuddly dog who will curl up by your side
to watch a movie as well as a good
companion for run-ning errands, or
going on hikes or walks. I also have some boating experience, and would make a great first mate! I do well with adults and older
children and am hoping to find a family or owner who will give me plenty of attention and play time. I am house-
trained, neutered, vaccinated and follow commands such as sit, stay, lie down, and wait. If you are looking for a fun and loyal companion, I am your guy! I am located in Wil-mington and would love for you to call 303-358-4541 and
arrange a meeting or find out more about me.
MISSING CAT
Connor is a 7-year-old male American Longhair (grey and white with a very bushy
grey tail) and weighs approximately 14 pounds. He is an indoor/outdoor cat
and is up-to-date on all his shots. Last seen S. Green Tee Road in Hampstead.
If you have seen him, please call 910-232-4512 or send an email to [email protected].
Hello, friends! I’m a Calico girl named Selena, and this is my
brother, Sonny. He’s a handsome orange and white boy. Our story starts out a bit sad, but we’re sure the happy ending is coming! You
see, we were abandoned in a motel room when our owner lost her job and home. A visitor from Florida
found us, rescued us, and called Cat Adoption Team. Now we’re search-
ing for a loving home where hopefully we can stay together. We make a
great team and would be terrific com-pany for you. And when you’re at work, Sonny and I can keep each
other company! We are very gentle and loving and simply enjoy hanging out at home. We appreciate all the petting we receive and also like to play - alone and with each other.
You might notice that our ears are clipped - this shows that we have
been spayed and neutered. It was probably done when we were kittens. Today, we are just 1-year-old and already vaccinated and litterbox-trained. We get along well with
adults, children and other cats and have affectionate person-alities. Would you like to adopt us? Please call Cat Adop-tion Team at 910-792-9014 and tell them you’d like to know
more. We’re also at Petsmart 7 days a week!
We are sponsored by Katherine Sweeney in loving memory of Colonel, Brillo, Inkie, Crystal and Cassie.
Selena
Sonny
I’m Zelda, an adult Giant Schnauzer female who weighs 85 pounds of full
delight and love! My foster parents say I am the easi-est Giant Schnauzer foster they have ever had. I am truly a delightful ‘big’ girl
with the sweetest personal-ity and I have even made best friends with my foster
sister! I am really the perfect dog who needs a low-key home that will keep me on a consistent schedule. I am
leash-trained, love to go on walks, and I love to go on out-ings where I can meet lots of people. I am great with kids
and don’t ever bark. Schnauzer Rescue of the Carolinas is looking for a home where someone is home quite a bit with me, and where I can have a fenced-in backyard to run and play, but they might consider no fence for the right home. The person(s) adopting me must be energetic enough to
assure that I get plenty of exercise and they must make me a very important part of my new family. I am most intelligent
and will definitely want a challenge to keep me motivated and happy in my new life with the fortunate family that adopts me! I am up to date on all my vaccinations, am
heartworm negative, and micro-chipped, so to read more about me, visit www.schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org. There you can fill out an application online and view other adoptable rescues. If you need an application mailed or
faxed, call 910-264-8300.

I’m a very sweet puppy named
Teddy! Could you use someone cud-dly like me in your life? At just 12-
weeks-old, they tell me I’m a Lab mix
who weighs in at a solid 23 pounds. I
will probably be around 60 pounds fully grown. I was
rescued from a situation of neglect, which has made me a little shy when first meeting you. I warm up QUICKLY and if you have hot dogs to give me, all shyness is GONE! You are my friend for life. I really
enjoy playing with the other dogs at the shelter and would like to have a doggie companion in my new home. I’m friendly and affectionate and am just looking for some
TLC. Oh, one other thing, I do have webbed feet and am so happy to play in my puppy pool. Need a first mate or a
beach buddy? Look no further than me! Call Paw’s Place at 910-845-7297 and let’s get acquainted!
I am sponsored by Top Toad in the Cotton Exchange
in Downtown Wilmington, NC. Thank you!
I’m Andy, a handsome Schnauzer mix boy who
had a rough start from be-ing born out in the cold in
November. I was also adopted for a very brief
time and returned because I had some fear-based
issues due to lack of so-cialization in the beginning of my precious life. I am now with a foster home who is working with me
and I’m happy to say that I’m flourishing with my daily training exercises and with my loving foster family! I
know sit, stay, down, and I’m even house and crate-trained! I’m looking for a family of adults, or one with older children. I’m a very smart and affectionate boy who would do well in a home with another medium/large sized dog who I could
learn from. I will make a wonderful family companion in the right loving environment. I am neutered and up to date on all shots. Please find out more about me and read my full story at www.schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org. There
you can fill out an application online and view other adopt-able rescues. If you need an application mailed or faxed to
you, please call 910-264-8300.

►PUREBRED YELLOW LAB ALERT! My name is Gary and I am a loveable,
almost purebred yellow Labrador Retriever. I am
a fun-loving boy who likes water and loves tennis
balls just like any Labra-dor. I am neutered, up to date on vaccinations and
heartworm negative. I get along great with kids, cats
and dogs, too. You can find me at Petco on any
Saturday or Sunday from 11am to 5pm.
►My name is Tucker and I am a super sweet boy! I am neutered, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. I am
completely house-trained and have very good house man-
ners. I am around 2 to 3-years-old and I came out of Pender Animal Control back in January during their first septic crisis. I have been
attending adoption fairs ever since, but have been getting overlooked for some reason.
I absolutely love people and I am very low energy. I just want to be with my people and go with the flow - I am flexi-ble. I am a mid-sized dog around 40 pounds and am very eager to please. I do well with toddlers and kids, but not
babies. The crying freaks me out. I also would do better in a home without other cats and dogs since I am a little too inter-
ested in them. So, if you only have room in your home for one animal....CHOOSE ME!
◄Hi there, my name tag says Parker but you can call me "Parker No!" Everyone else does. I am an energetic boy with tons of person-
ality and I love to run and play. My foster home has 6 older dogs living here. BORING! All they
want to do is eat and sleep. I'm a 7-month-old puppy and I'm in the
prime of my life. I think I'm house-trained, my foster family has a dog-
gie-door and I can go out when-ever I need to. For my latest trick,
I tried to jump a 4-foot fence. I think I might be a climber so a 6-foot privacy fence would work better for me. If you want a best friend for life and a reason to get out and play, give
me a call. Just ask for "Parker No!"
►My name is Farrah and I’ve had a really rough
start. Since I am a Staf-fordshire Terrier, I am
looking for someone ex-perienced with my breed.
Since my history is un-known, I am not recom-mended for a family with other pets or small chil-
dren. You can tell by my teeth and the condition I was in that my life was rough before I came to
Adopt-An-ANGEL. Now, I have fattened up, my coat is shiny, my overall health has improved tremendously and I am blossoming. I am abso-lutely devoted to you if you just spend some time with me. I walk well on a leash, am house-trained and heartworm negative. If you look closely into my eyes in this picture, you can almost look into my soul and feel my heartache.
◄There’s just got to be some mistake! How can a
loving, friendly, beautiful girl like me still be homeless? My name is Tori and I’m a 1-year-old female Calico
who has been looking for a home since May of this
year. Believe me, you’ll be doing yourself a favor by adopting me. I love to be
held and kissed, I’m friendly to everyone I meet, and I purr in your arms. Also,
adopting me would free up my cage for some other needy kitty. You’d be a
hero! You won’t be disappointed! Please adopt me today!
►If I look a bit sad, it’s because I don’t understand
why I’m still homeless! You see, due to a family
split-up, I’m all by myself. My name is Ella and I’m
told I look just like a Cata-houla Leopard mix. It’s an
American dog breed, known for being intelligent,
even-tempered and great family members. At just 2-years-old, I’m spayed, vac-cinated and walk well on a leash. I lived with another
dog, too. Come get me!

◄THE PERFECT FAMILY DOG!
My name is Benny (A041873) and I’m a 4-year-old Lab mix
who was made to be a companion for some very lucky
family. I was found as a stray but must
have once been part of a household as I’m friendly to all I meet, including dogs, and
instantly sit on command. I also catch treats in my mouth! I’m smart,
eager to please, and highly loveable. I’M NEUTERED AND CAN GO HOME WITH YOU TODAY!
◄Hello, my name is Jellybean
(A041952) and I’m one of the most affectionate cats you’ll ever have
the good fortune to meet. I will curl my
head into your palm and rub my soft nose on your
fingers. Being touched by humans is
something I greatly welcome! I’m a 1-year-old, grey and
white girl who was found as a stray. Let’s go!
◄I kinda look like one of those little monkeys with the big gold eyes, but I promise you that I’m a cat! My name is Summer (A042181) and I’m completely adorable. Hearts melt all the time over me, so why haven’t I been adopted? I once had a home, but they had no time for me and brought me to the shelter. I love to play, cuddle and purr. Could you give me the love and care I need?
◄You’ll be so
happy to have me
living inside
with you! I love to be with
my humans and am already
neutered and declawed. I’ll need to stay indoors where it’s safe. My name is Rocky (A042948) and I’m an
extremely affectionate 4-year-old boy who lost my home when my owners moved to a cat-prohibited apartment. I’m so very loving - please adopt me!

►We are Bitsy and Bobby,
(A041449, A041447)two tuxedo
siblings. And we’re
super!! We both love to
play, we purr like crazy
when rubbed or held, and we like other cats. We do not have a mean bone in either of our bodies. We are just 8-weeks-old and
ready to go home! Adopt us together or separately.
I’m Declawed!
►Hey there, my name is Mandy
(A043047)! I’m a playful, friendly, and happy girl. I love to interact with people and be kissed and rubbed. Sadly, I
lost my home when the baby became allergic. It’s a true
shame, because I’m so affectionate! I was born with one shortened rear leg, but it doesn’t bother me at all. I run and
jump just fine. I’d be great for the whole family!

EXTREMELY URGENT!! MY TIME IS UP - ADOPT ME!! Why won’t someone bring me
home? My name is Beau (CM3716) and I’m a well-trained, loving and friendly boy who wants nothing more than to belong to a
family again. At just 2-years-old, I have lots of memories to make
with someone special like you. I’m an American Staffordshire Terrier, with perhaps a bit of Boxer mixed in. See that kissable Boxer mouth
of mine? And listen to this: I will come to you with a lot of good qualities. For example, I am house-trained and know how to sit on command. In fact, they gave me good treats while taking my photo and I happily sat down in order to
receive them. I love all the people I meet and am also neu-tered, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. I walk well on a leash and am used to living in a home as part of the fam-ily. A household without other animals or tiny kids would be best for me. I’ve been living here since May 7 and my time is running out! Won’t you please come to the shelter and get to know me? Call Pender County Animal Control
at 910-259-1349 or Officer Clewis at 910-279-3196.
I am sponsored by Kathy Lanio. Thank you!
URGENT, URGENT!! I’m Running Out of Time!
It makes absolutely no sense that a family dog like me is
facing an uncertain future at an animal shelter! I am so
comfortable and well-behaved around humans and would fit perfectly into anyone’s home. My name is Buddy (CM3868)
and I’m a male Boxer mix who loves attention, walks well on a leash and knows basic commands. In fact,
when they came to take my photo, I sat down without even being asked - it was as
though I knew exactly what to do. I was found as a stray but it sure seems as though I was part of a family at one time. I get along well with other dogs and love to be cud-dled by humans. I have a quiet, laid-back demeanor and
beautiful brown eyes that will melt your heart. Please come to the shelter and adopt me!! I need your love NOW.
Please call Pender County Animal Control at 910-259-1349 or Officer Clewis at 910-279-3196. They’ll be happy
to give you driving directions or tell you even more!

CAT: Cat Adoption Team
◄Hi! Has adopting a kitten been on your mind lately? How about me? My name is Buffet and I’m a 14-week-old male
kitten. I’m named for my fur, a beautiful buff color.
I was found at Animal Control where I was
being cared for by two feline moms. That’s
how cute I am, I guess! Women just fight over
me. I get along well with people and other cats
and am a darling, sweet boy. I’ve already been
neutered and am vaccinated and litterbox-trained. Take me home today!
◄Don’t you think I’m pretty? Just think how great I’ll look sitting in your house! My name is Margaret and I’m an 8-month-old, black and
white girl who was rescued from a shelter
where I was running out of time. I have a truly fun personality: I love to play and I love to talk, too! As
for my health, I’m spayed, vaccinated and litterbox-trained. I hope you’ll consider bringing me home - you’ll be so
happy to share your life with a great girl like me!
◄You are staring deeply into my eyes. You cannot look away. You will be mine! My name is Missy and I’m a 1-year-old Tortie girl who is hoping to convey the depth of my love for you with my soulful gaze. I would be a perfect friend and companion. I get along well with people and cats and LOVE to play with toys. I’m spayed, up to date on shots, vaccinated, and ready to go home!
◄Do you have any windows at your house? I’m betting you do, and I hope you need a friendly cat to take up a spot in front of one of them. My name is Gretchen and I’m a 1-year-old girl who loves to bask in the sunshine streaming from a window. Sadly, it’s hard to do that when you’re homeless and living in a cage. I get along great with adults, kids and cats and am super-sweet. Let’s head to your home real soon!
►You’re not seeing double! We are Loni and Loki, two
ebony brothers, just 14-weeks-
old. Our personalities are very similar, too.
We purr up a storm when held and are
extremely playful and sweet. We get along well with all people: men, women and children, and we also enjoy playing with other
felines. Don’t worry if you can’t adopt both of us - we can be adopted separately into two wonderful homes. Meet us!
►Hello! My name is Caddo and I’m a
1-year-old Tabby boy. If you’re looking for a
very friendly and social companion, I’m your guy! I love everyone and have a great time playing with toys. I get along well with other felines and would be a superb playmate or
cuddlemate for children. My back leg curls under slightly at the toes, but it doesn’t bother me a bit. I run, walk and play just fine. I’m also neutered, vaccinated, and litterbox-trained!

Is this a cute face or what? And check out my adorable little un-derbite - it makes me even more of a heart-melter! My name is Phoebe and I’m a
Pug/Chihuahua mix. I like to be held like a baby in your arms with my belly ex-
posed. I can lay like that forever while you rub your fingers over my tummy. At just 10 pounds and 2-years-
old, I have a lot of wonderful memories to make in the arms of my new
family. I was found as a stray, but I love attention and am extremely friendly to all I meet. Can we please go home together? To drive out and meet me, please call Brunswick County Animal Control at 910-754-8204. I’ll
be waiting with a big smile on my face just for you!
I am sponsored by Willetts Horse Farm, Bolivia, NC in loving memory of Maya.
Perfect Family Dog Alert! Hi there, my name is Bonnie
(A042759) and I’ve just got to tell you that letting a dog like me pass by is like letting a jewel slip from your fingers. I’m the kind of dog that folks
want to spend their lives with, and that’s the truth! I’m a
2-year-old Golden Retriever/Yellow Lab mix who already knows commands such as
‘sit’ and ‘down’. I don’t jump on people and if you’re sitting in a chair, I’ll quietly sit next to
you for some head rubs. I love treats and I love playing with toys. I carry them around the room in my mouth - it’s so cute! I’m also a nuzzler - I’ll
nuzzle your hand with my nose so you’ll put it on my head and give me a cuddle. Now that you’ve heard what a sweetheart I
am, won’t you please come adopt me? I’m at Brunswick County Animal Control and am hoping to go home soon! For
more information, please call 910-754-8204.
I am sponsored by Adam’s Folly Pet Boarding, Bolivia, NC. Thank you!

Cat Tails
◄I know, they tell us all the time about teen pregnancy. Well, I didn’t listen. So, here
I am, not even 1-year-old and the mother of five! Luckily, they all found
homes and I want one, too. No more babies for me! Now I want to be spoiled and babied. If you look
closely at my eyes and feel the softness of my fur, you’ll
see that I have Bombay in my DNA. They call me Lil Mama because I was too little and young for babies. Won’t
you pick me and give me a beautiful, new name?
◄Are you looking for a special kitty? Well, look
no farther, because I, Nubbin, am your an-
swer. Granted, it’s not the best name. In fact, it’s a bit condescending since I am missing a leg. I deserve a better name
after what I’ve been through in my brief 2-
years. Someone found me in the street and my left front leg had been severed. I
needed two operations, but now I am ready to go. I love to run and jump and now, there’s no stopping me!
►Oh, poppycock! That’s what all the other kitties say to me. With a name like Poppy, you’d better be cute, and, well, I must say – I am. I am a lovely gray kitty with a few gray spots here and there. I’m still a young-ster at 2-years of age and I’m very friendly. I must admit, I’m a bit
overweight, but I think I’d get lots of exercise at your house. How about it?
◄Calico kitties are always the first ones to be adopted so why
am I still here? As you can see I am a beautiful pastel Calico. My
name is Shana and I am only 1-year-old. I am very sweet, as every girl should be, and l love
attention, just like every girl. You can’t tell in my picture but I re-
cently had some surgery on one ear and now it curls over at the top. It just makes me even cuter. If you take me home I
will snuggle with you forever!
►My name is Sinbad and I am still waiting for my ship to come in. As you
might have guessed, I am a sailor without a boat. I used to be very shy, but since I’m almost 3-years-old, I’m more confident.
With all of you people liv-ing by the sea, doesn’t one of you have room for me?
Once we get used to each other, we can sail into the sunset.
◄My name, Lady Gaga, implies that I must be outlandish and
well – take a look! I am the most unusual Calico you have ever
seen. My face is orange and is surrounded by
black and white. I am about 2-years
-old and finally rid of all those babies. You see, not only did I take care of my own, but I took care of seven others
who lost their mom. Whew, what a job.

►My name is Zoey (A256401) and I have loads
of purrsonality. The property management where I had
been living contacted Animal Control to come pick up me
and some of my kitty friends. So, now I’m here at the shel-
ter hoping to find a forever home. I’m super playful and
friendly, I’m social and outgo-ing and I love being with peo-
ple. I’m still a kitten and am ready for a fun, adventure
filled life with a loving family. Kitty toys are a necessity!
◄Hey there people, check me out! My
name is Elvie (A257407) and I’m a
Labrador Retriever and Boxer mix who can give “high 5s”! I also know
how to sit and shake on command. I’m happy,
friendly, eager to please and need a home with a
loving, active family. I’m a spayed girl and at 10-months of age, I’m still a puppy. I would
like for my new home to have a fenced yard for me to go out and play
in. Plenty of doggy toys would be an added bonus, too. In return, I promise to be a
great companion and to make you smile and feel loved.
◄If you or someone you know is looking for an
amazing best friend, you need to meet me! Hi, my name is Buster
Brown (A257321) and I’m a wonderful dog. Really, I am! I was picked up by Animal
Control after someone dumped me at Empie
Park. I’m already neu-tered, approximately 1½-years-old, good on leash and very gentle. I know how to sit, shake, and lay down on command and I love playing. I’m
engaging and social and I love being by your side but am also content to entertain myself (and you) by playing with a squeaky toy. I’m very sweet, happy and carefree and would love the chance to
make you smile and feel loved.
►I’m a peachy-sweet girl named Bellini (A257069). I
think I’m a Heinz 57 mix or maybe a Collie mix but one thing is for sure...I am cute!
Someone found me straying and brought me here to the shelter with the hopes that I could find a new home. I’m expressive, playful, good on a leash, spayed, happy-go-lucky and an avid toy lover. I’m curious, eager to please and have a real zest for life
(but not like one of those crazy type of puppies).
Please help me find out what it feels like to be loved.
◄My name is Angel (A258211) and I’m a 1-year-old spayed girl who is ready for a home. I’m very sweet and will roll over on my back for attention. I like being held and love being touched. I was surrendered to the shelter after I had been straying in a Wilmington neighborhood for over a month. Please con-sider giving a friendly girl like me a life of love.
◄Hi everyone, my name is Charo (A257686) and I’m a gray and white prin-cess. I am approximately 4-years-old and had been just a neighborhood cat for about a year. I thought for sure someone would take me in but that just wasn’t meant to be. I’m a bit sad-dened by the lack of re-spect I’ve been given but I’m glad to have a chance at finding true love. Would you give me a home filled with love and kitty snacks?

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Feral cats are the offspring of domestic cats that have been abandoned by their owners. They are the
shadowy figures that run from you as you walk toward them. They are un-socialized and will never
know the love of a tender touch or curling up in a warm bed. Friends of Felines is committed to
helping these discarded animals live healthier lives through a trap/vaccinate/spay-neuter/return program.
Have you ever wondered what you can do to make these poor animals’ lives better?
HERE IS WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP
$15 will pay for two cats’ vaccinations (rabies & distemper) $25 will buy bags of dry food needed for daily meals
$40 will neuter one male cat $50 will spay one female cat
$100 will pay for one cat colony's food for a month
This is a great opportunity for individuals, businesses, classrooms, scout troops, fraternities/sororities and many
others to get involved!

◄Hi there! I’m an adorable Lab mix named Coco. I’m new at the shelter and get-ting used to the sights and sounds. I was happy to be held for my photo and am hoping it will attract the loving family that I’m long-ing for! At just 7-months-old, I’m a spayed girl who is house-trained and good with other dogs. I’m also ok around cats. And thirty pounds is a nice size, too, not too big or small!
Please call about our low cost spay/neuter program.

◄I hope my big blue eyes will steal your heart! My name is Rexell and I’m a
4-year-old Flame Point Siamese who can’t be
touched or cuddled enough. They had a hard time getting a
photo of me because all I wanted to do was snuggle. I’m a lap cat who will sleep in bed
with you if it’s allowed. I’m ok with dogs as
well. Unfortunately, I lost my home because
my owner’s fiancee was allergic. May I
please look forward to the future with you?
◄Hello, friends! I’m Mimi Crumbsnatcher and I’m a 7 pound red and white Chihuahua who was found as a stray in Wilmington. They tell me I’m a senior lady but I have lots of energy and enjoy meeting all kinds of new people. I also get along great with other dogs, especially Bella, who can also be seen on this page. Oh yes, I’m house-trained, too! Come get to know me.
►If a precious orange Tabby is your heart’s
desire, get ready to fall in love! I’m Mr. Kitty and I think I’m the perfect man for you. You’ll never be
lonely again. I’m a neutered, vaccinated,
litterbox-trained darling who weighs in at a soft
and cuddly 14 pounds. I sure do love being with humans and possess a calm, mellow, laid-back
attitude. Prepare to have your heart melted!
◄Happy is my name and happy is what I’ll be if you adopt me! I’m a 4-year-old, 10 pound Chihuahua girl who likes other dogs and is ok with cats. I am good with children and I used to live in a home with kids 5-years of age and older. I like to sleep in bed with my humans and am also house-trained. Sadly, I lost my last home because my owner got a new job and had no time for me. Would you like to take me home?
►My name is Bella and I’m a 1 to 2-year-old
Italian Greyhound girl who weighs in at a mere 10
pounds. That means you can pick me up and hold
me all you like! And I really hope you’ll be
coming here soon so that you can take me home. It’s so hot outside and I want to begin living in
an air conditioned environment with you! I was found as a stray but behaved very nicely in a
foster home where I played well with other dogs. Mimi, also pictured on this
page, is a buddy of mine. How about coming to the shelter and spending some time with me? You’ll fall in love!

If I could talk, I bet the TV news would want to interview me! You see, I was found in
Fayetteville in the aftermath of the recent tornado epidemic that swept the area. I was running loose and no one
could locate my family. There’s no telling where I might have come from or
what happened. The good news is that I feel great and have been enjoying what I
hope will be a temporary stay at SOAR. My name is
Maggie and I LOVE people and LOVE attention. Pet me and I’m your friend for life!
They tell me I may be some sort of Border Collie/Spaniel/Lab mix and that I’m just 3-years-old. I’m getting along great with the other shelter dogs and I know my com-
mands. (‘Sit’ is the one I’m demonstrating here.) I’m a smart girl who is also a big water dog - I just love splash-ing around in a hose or pool. I’m also spayed, vaccinated
and on heartworm prevention. Would you like to meet me? Call SOAR for directions or more information - the
number is 910-457-6340. See you soon!
I am sponsored by Top Toad in the Cotton Exchange in Downtown Wilmington, NC. Thank you!
Please don’t turn the page, take a moment and read about me...I need to tell my story and even if you can’t
adopt me, perhaps you know someone who can? My name is
Houlihan and I’m a sweet girl who was found wandering, weighing only 34
pounds, with lots of hair gone and infection all
over my skin. I’m just a year or two old but after a very rough start I’m looking beautiful, have put on 20 pounds and am ready for a home. And as a bonus, I’ve graduated from obedience training with the Pawsitive Partners Prison Pro-gram, and am also spayed and microchipped. I’m a bit shy
but extremely gentle and get along well with other dogs. I’ve even stayed with a family with children a few times...I
really loved doing that, but now I’m back in the kennel. Please! Help me find a home - I’ve been alone for so long now. For more information on adopting me, call 910-297-1338, email [email protected] or fill out an applica-
tion at www.montyshome.org.
I am sponsored in appreciation of everyone who has rescued a homeless animal.

◄My name is Todd and I’m a great dog! My date of birth is April 1, 2004
and I weigh 70 pounds. I’m full of love and I’m also full of fun for you and your children or grandkids. I’m house-trained and I have good house manners. If you already have a
dog, please bring him or her to Paw’s Place so that we can become fast friends. I’m just aching to be some
special person’s best buddy and companion. Don’t make me wait - I’ve been at the shelter too long!

◄I’m Beau, a sweet, handsome, 60-pound Hound in need of a
new family! I was part of a litter of twelve puppies that was
adopted out four years ago. Sadly, my owner
became very ill and could no longer keep
me. The good news is that I have perfect
house manners and am well behaved! I
walk nicely on a leash, am house-trained, can sit for a cookie, and I get along well with
other dogs and human children. I am even used to sleeping in bed with my family, if it’s allowed. Please give me a home!
◄Hello! I’m Sugar Pie and I’m a 4-year-old
Redbone/Bloodhound mix
girl. I have floppy ears as soft as
butter and I also have the most
kissable mouth. In fact, I’m kissin’ people all the time
because I’m extremely friendly and affectionate. I enjoy playing
and being with people. I love other dogs, too. I really want to be part of a family. Would you let me be your
new baby girl? I’ve been here too long!
◄My name is Holly and I was
found by the railroad tracks on Christmas Eve. I’m a 2-year-old Hound with one
blue eye and one brown. I’m so
pretty! Right now I weigh 50 pounds,
but I could stand to gain another five.
I’m great with other dogs and love to play. I enjoy rawhides, going for walks
and getting hugged and kissed by humans. I have a gentle personality and am already spayed, vaccinated
and on heartworm prevention. Come meet me!
◄I’m a small Hound - just 30 pounds - and I was
found as a stray in South Carolina. My name is Juliet and I’m a sweet,
gentle, 1-year-old girl who would love to live in a quiet
home with my very own Romeo. I play extremely well with other dogs and enjoy taking walks. I’m
looking for a person or fam-ily with a fenced-yard and a desire to share their life
with a good-natured girl like me. I’m already spayed, vaccinated and on heartworm
prevention. How about giving this Juliet a happy ending?

My name is Blue and I’m a male Boxer/Hound mix born around the begin-ning of April. I love to
make new friends, play with toys, and get lots of
hugs from humans. I also play well with other dogs and share a kennel with my brother, Beau. (You can see his photo
on page 31.) There’s no doubt I’ll be a well-
cherished companion for any family, whether it’s
large or small. My friendly, fun and loving personality will be sure to chase all your ‘blues’ away. As for my health, I’m already neutered and vaccinated. It would be great if you and I could meet in person - please call Pender County Humane Society at

It’s Raining Kittens at Pender County Animal Control! There are 40 of us here searching for loving homes.
If you’d like to adopt one of us, or foster us temporarily, please call or
come out today!
We come in all sizes,
shapes and col-ors, and you can bet that we're all equally
precious. It’s sad that our first few weeks of life are spent looking be-
tween the bars of a cage and standing on a metal floor. And as you know, there is never enough space for us all. When more kittens arrive, room must be made - and that
often happens by euthanization. Don’t blame Animal Con-trol, though. Blame the folks who don’t spay and neuter
their cats. They’re the reason we’re here. If you’re part of a non-profit rescue group, you’re also invited to come take one or more of us into your program. For more info, call
Pender County Animal Control at 910-259-1349 or Officer Clewis at 910-279-3196. With so many kittens to choose
from, you’re sure to find the one that steals your heart!

I’ve Been Waiting Two Years for a Home! Please
Adopt Me! Hello! I’m Lola and I’m a very sweet girl who adores people.
I’m a 4-year-old Shepherd/Lab mix and all I want is to
please and be loved. So why haven’t I been
adopted? Could it be because I have
a special need? Please don’t let that deter you from bringing a great girl like me home! I have an old cruciate ligament injury which re-quires me to stay on glucosamine chondroiton for my life-time, but it’s an inexpensive pill and easily available. I’m not so fond of other female dogs, but I interact very well
with larger, docile male dogs. I’m behaving beautifully at a dog boarding facility and working with a trainer as well! If
you have an interest in adopting me, please call today! Or, if you’re not able to adopt at this time but would like to fos-ter me temporarily, that would be great! I’d really love to get back in a home environment. Just give the Sunburst
Foundation a call at 910-622-0011or email them at [email protected].

Thank you!
Boy, I can’t tell you how happy I was to get
out of my kennel for some photo-taking fun! I hopped around with joy and made every-
one smile. My name is Blanco (CM3780) and I could make your life even happier, too - all
you have to do is adopt me! I’m a 1 to 2-year-old male German Shepherd mix and I’m
pure white. I don’t want to brag, but eve-ryone tells me I’m very
handsome! I was found as a stray in Burgaw and am really looking forward
to enjoying life with my new family. I do need medical attention for some hip issues, and am appealing for help from readers. The initial exam will cost $300 to $400 dol-lars and I’d be so grateful if you could send in a donation,
no matter how big or small. Checks can be mailed to Furever Friends, c/o Capeside Animal Hospital, 511 Old Waterford Way, Leland, NC 28451. Please write in the memo that it is for ‘Blanco’. Thank you for your kindness and please consider adopting me! For more information, call Pender County Animal Control at 910-259-1349 or
Officer Clewis at 910-279-3196.

I Love Other Dogs, And Need One to Play
With! Hi there, my name is Coal, and I’m on the
search for a wonderful family, one that prefera-
bly has another dog. You see, my best friend and housemate (a fel-low dog) recently died and it’s made me so
very sad. I’m an 8-year-old male Black Lab mix with a very loving per-sonality. I am house-trained, obedient and
eager to please. I love going for walks, playing with children above the age of six and I have also lived harmoniously with a cat. I would be a great companion for anyone! As for my
health, I am neutered, up to date on vaccinations and on heartworm prevention. Because I’ve lived in a home all my life, I have great house manners and am a well-adjusted, social, friendly dog. Would you please consider adopting
me? I promise to give you so much love and so much com-panionship! You’ll never be lonely again. Please call the
Sunburst Foundation at 910-622-0011 or email [email protected] for more information.
Hope to meet you soon!

If you look up the word ‘adorable’ in the dic-
tionary, I’m sure you’ll find my photo! My
name is Gumbo and I’m a Bulldog/Beagle
mix who is ready-made to be a great family companion. Just listen to all my excellent traits! I’m
house-trained, leash-trained, can sit on
command, I ride well in the car and I’m ex-cellent with children! In fact, I once lived
happily with a 9-month-old, a 6-year-old and a 9-year-old. Sadly, the baby devel-oped an allergy to dogs and I had to come to the shelter.
But I just know there’s another family out there who is yearning for a great boy like me! I’m 1½-years-old and am neutered, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention. I’m good with other dogs, am ok with cats, and I’m not a big barker. I’m used to living indoors with my family and playing outside in a fenced-in yard. I can fetch, too! You really must come to the shelter to see how cute I am in
person. For driving directions, or more information, please call the New Hanover Humane Society at
910-763-6692. See you soon!

►Hi there, my name is Myrtle (CF3909) and I’m a
lovely BlueTick Coonhound. I was found as a stray,
hanging out at someone’s house. You might notice that
my left eye is cloudy - it’s either scar tissue or a cata-ract. I can’t see out of it, but
my other eye works great and I get along just fine. I may have once been a hunting
dog that was abandoned. I don’t want to hunt anymore - I want to be part of a family.
The only hunting I want to do is for treats or toys. Could I please be your new girl?
◄Could I be your Lady? See, that’s my name, and I hope to hear you calling me that as we enjoy our new life at home. I’m a young Walker Hound who is very quiet, rarely bark-ing, and I’m great with other dogs. I’ve shown no interest in cats and love going for walks with the shelter workers. I guess you could call me a ‘go with the flow’ kind of girl. Please call today and ask about me - my ID number is CF3779. See you soon!
◄I’m a sweetheart! So why am I running out of time at this shelter? My name is Denver (CM3803) and I was shy when I first arrived, but I’ve really opened up to my new friends here and love be-ing around people. I walk well on a leash and am a medium-sixed boy. Not too big or too small. I hope you’ll give me the chance to steal your heart. You’ll be saving my life in return. Hurry over today!
URGENT, URGENT!! We Three Dogs Are Running Out Of Time! Please read our stories and adopt us!
◄ It’s hard to believe, but someone dumped a beautiful and loving young girl like me out
on the street. I guess it was my lucky day, be-cause someone came
to my rescue. My name is Melissa
(FF3643) and I’m an 8-month-old girl who loves receiving atten-tion and petting from
humans. Just open up my cage door and I’ll stand right up, purring and ready for love. I
enjoy playing with toys, too. We’d have a great life!
◄My name is
Toni and this is my baby girl, Sugar. Sugar is
one of six precious
kittens that I’m nursing here at the shelter. If
you come visit, you’ll be able to hold my babies in your hands or watch them as they play. They are just 3 to
4-weeks-old, and I am around 1-year. We would all love to be part of loving homes. Please call today and ask for
me - my ID number is FF3732. We’ll be waiting!
►I’m a very special cat named Jessica
(FF3799). Would you like to know why? Well,
I have six toes on my front paws, which
means I’m a polydactyl kitty. My paws look kinda like oven mitts
and are quite a conversation starter. I’ve been living at the shelter since July 19 and am desperately ready to find my very
own home. I’m so happy when humans
take time out to pet me, and I get along with the other cat in my cage. Let’s go!

I’m Rocket and I’m a de-lightful youngster. I don’t have a mean bone in my body. I get along with all of my foster siblings and
am learning to avoid those who don’t agree that I am
the most adorable little boy in the world. I am
very much the puppy. I have not quite learned that I cannot chew on the hu-
mans. I am ready to learn from anyone with a gentle
approach. My foster mom says “you can see his mind working whenever a command is introduced. Rocket can be a little shy with new people but warms up quickly.” She also says this about me: “He loves balls, loves tugs, loves chew treats, shoes, socks, etc. It is a good idea to keep
plenty of “legal” toys handy. He finds water irresistible and is happy to splash in anything liquid.” If you are interested in me or would like more info on other dogs currently avail-
able for adoption, please visit the Carolina Border Collie Rescue website at CBCR.org or call 910-754-5747.

Hi! My name is Ferry and I was abandoned. Someone left me tied to a column at a strip mall with a bag of food tied to my neck! Can you believe it? Since that horrible day, I’ve been taken in by some
thoughtful people and am waiting for the day when a family of my
own comes by. I’ve been waiting for one my whole life and I just
know that there is one out there for me. I love to play with toys and kids (a home with children would be fabulous for me)! I don’t stray far, though I haven’t had much
experience with leashes before. I was pretty much on my own most
of my life, left outside all of the time and I have come down with the heartworm disease. I know you can fix it, but so far no one’s offered to help me. I am only 1½-years-old and everyone I meet says my heart is
very big and that I am a beautiful and loving dog. If you are interested in adopted me, please visit the Carolina Border Collie Rescue website at CBCR.org or call 910-545-1846.

◄It’s a shame that an ador-able kitten like me is living at a shelter! I’m ready to
make someone’s life a thou-sand times happier, but I just need them to walk
through the door and meet me! My name is Jester and I’m a 16-week-old boy with a playful, purry personality. I love to be held and kissed and am living here with my
mother, brother and two sisters. You should come visit us! We roam freely
around the cat room and will make you smile. Hop in the car and let’s get acquainted!
◄You’d be hard-pressed to find a friendlier, sweeter
girl than me! My name is Gypsy and I want to settle down with you.
I’m a loving, completely non-aggressive Pit Bull girl who never meets a stranger. My smiling face welcomes all the
people who greet me! I am spayed, up to date on shots and on heart-
worm prevention. I dearly love squeaky toys and I will take
treats very gently from your fingers. You’ll see how great I am when you visit!
►My name is Sydney and I’m such a handsome kitten boy! I was found all
alone in the world, but someone brought me to the shelter. I have tiger
stripes, but I’m not the slightest bit wild. I am just
the sweetest little thing and I get my purring motor
started as soon as I see you. I’m a very trusting
fellow who appreciates all the attention I’m now get-
ting. At just 12-weeks-old, I’d love to grow up with
you by my side!
►Everything about me is beautiful, especially my eyes which are lined in
black. My name is Beau and I’m a Boxer/Hound mix with a loving, gentle
personality. I was born at the beginning of April, which puts me around
16-weeks-old. I get along great with other dogs and share a kennel with my brother Blue. He looks almost exactly like me!
I’ve been to the doc for a check-up and am neu-tered and vaccinated.
Bring a puppy home today - and let it be me!
►I’m so fluffy they tell me I just
might be part Maine Coon! My
name is Kelly and I’m an abso-lutely beautiful little boy with a very loving and sweet personal-
ity. My foster mom says I am a
joy to live with and would make someone very happy. I was born at the be-ginning of May and am ready to find my permanent home. I love to be held by humans and enjoy playing with toys. I get
along well with other animals and am already neutered, vacci-nated and litterbox-trained. Come get to know me today!
►Don’t even try
to fight it - you know you want to take
one of us home!
My name is Freddy and this is
my sis, Kimmy. We are 12-week-old pups with an unusual parentage. Our father is a Shih Tzu/Pug mix and our mother is a Pointer. I
have short hair like our mom and Kimmy has a fuzzy, scruffy face like our dad. We both have playful, loving per-
sonalities and enjoy being held. We also have another sister here named Jellybean. She’s scruffy, too. Better
hurry if you want to take one of us home with you!

My name is Dixie and I was rescued just before my time ran out. Then I got the bad news that I
was heartworm posi-tive. Man, can’t a
girl catch a break? I have completed my
heartworm treatment and feel as good as new. All I need is a forever home. I'm approximately 1 to
2-years-old, I’ve had all of my vaccina-tions, and I’ve been spayed. I'm a very sweet girl, al-
though I might be a little shy a first. They think I might be a Labrador Retriever and Bulldog mix. My coat is a nice combination of black and brown and I have white on my
face, chest and feet. I get a little excited when I'm around cats, but I get along fine with other dogs. If you
can give me the second chance I so very much deserve, please call 910-271-3101.
I am sponsored by Pet Friends of Duplin County.
Thank you!
I’m not shy to announce that I’m looking for
love! My name is
Skittles and I’m a 40
pound Hound girl who just
turned 1-year-old at the end of March. I wish I could have cele-brated my
birthday in my new home! Still, I have high hopes that I’ll soon find the family of my dreams. I am a house-trained, leash-trained darling who lost my former home because a new baby was coming and there was no time for me. I’m
great with cats and other dogs, but would probably be happi-est as the only dog since I can be protective of my food. I’m terrific with human children and I LOVE to play in my pool. If you’d like to see what a wonderful, loving girl I am, call Paw’s
Place at 910-845-7297 and let’s arrange a day to meet!

SOAR (Southport Oak Island Animal Rescue) Please call 910-457-6340 to adopt us!
◄I’m a Tortoiseshell kitten name Ophelia! I was found in Boiling Spring Lakes when I was just 6-weeks-old. I was wandering the world alone and desperate for help! Luckily, someone came to my rescue and I’m now at SOAR, ready to find long-lasting joy with you. I am very sweet and am in a cage by myself, but I love ‘play time’ when I run around the room with other kit-tens. Let’s go!
◄I’m George! I was found abandoned in a parked car and was born proba-bly the last
week in Sep-tember 2010. In my SOAR foster home, I have been
raised with other cats and kittens and a large dog. My sweet nature and playfulness have made me much
loved. I am negative for all feline diseases, have had all my shots and am neutered. Some cat lover who needs
a great kitten should call my SOAR foster mom at 910-278-4437 quickly!
►If long-haired, orange cats have long been a
favorite of yours, you’re in luck! I fit that descrip-tion exactly. And guess
what, humans are my favorite. My name is
Ginger and I’m a 1½ to 2-year-old female who
is extremely loving and friendly. I once was a
cherished family mem-ber, but my owner
passed away. I hope you’ll be coming to visit
real soon. I just bet you’ll want to carry me
on home with you!
►One of my kitten brothers is adopted and the other one is spoken for - now it’s
MY turn to be the lucky one! Hi, my name is
Colleen and I’m a 16-week-old Calico girl who is spayed, up to
date on shots and litter-box-trained. I am ex-tremely loveable and I
really enjoy playing. All you have to do is give
me a couple of cat toys and I’m in heaven! It’s
going to be lonely, though, when my brother goes home. You can spare me
the loneliness, though. Just come adopt me!
►Talk about beautiful! My name is Misty
and I’m a medium-haired girl, painted in
splashes of cream and gray. You’ll
have to come to SOAR and
see how lovely I am in person.
At just 1½-years-old, I’m a stray who was found on the island by a kind stranger. They got me to SOAR and I’m enjoying all the petting, good food and attention I’m receiving. I’m sweet and playful and al-
ready spayed, vaccinated and litterbox-trained. Adopt me!
►Those darn cat allergies! When will they come up with a
cure for that? My name is Stripes and I lost my
home when the child I lived with developed an allergy. It’s a real
shame because I’m the kind of cat you want to have around! I’m a 1-
year-old Tabby boy who loves to sit in your lap and be held. I’m also
neutered, up to date on shots and litterbox-
trained. Let’s go home!

A precious puppy could be just what you need
right now! I’d like to offer myself up for your consid-
eration - my name is Blake! I’m a 3½-month-old Boxer mix boy who is
happy and eager to please my human friends.
I sat so nicely for my photo and was rewarded
with lots of cuddles! Right now I’m a small-
sized pup, but I’ll probably be around 40 pounds
when fully grown. SOAR found me at Brunswick County Animal where I was run-ning out of time. Now I’m enjoying playing with the other
dogs at the shelter and am learning my commands. I LOVE people and LOVE attention and would be great in a home with older kids - I’m playful and might knock smaller
tots down. I am already neutered and vaccinated - the only thing needed now to make my life complete is you! Please call SOAR at 910-457-6340 and let’s get started!
I am sponsored by Cindy Meyers in loving memory of
Harley and Murphy.
I’ve Been Living At Paw’s Place for
Five Years! My name is Kohl and I’m a very handsome 6-year-old Pointer/Lab mix who is sweet and loving as
can be. I just don’t understand why I haven’t
yet been adopted? I watch while other dogs
come and go and wonder when it will be my turn. I love being
with humans and would be an excellent
companion. I’m house-trained, neutered, up to date on shots and on
heartworm prevention. I love going for walks and am a gentle boy at 60 pounds. Please visit me soon! To get
directions, or more information, please call Paw’s Place at 910-845-7297.

◄I’m Rosie! I’m a medium-sized Pug/Spitz mix and, at
just 4-years-old, I’m a smart, friendly girl who would be a great agility dog. I adore
children and am friendly to adult humans as well! I do
have issues with some dogs, but I’m great with cats. I’ve been working with an obedi-ence trainer and would love to continue this training with
my new family. I’m also spayed, vaccinated and on
heartworm prevention. You’d be so lucky to share your life with a great girl like me!
◄I’m a sweet, young, male Akita/Chow mix
named Ted. I am a quiet but active dog and I’ve behaved well around
other dogs. I just ADORE people! I’m also very
smart and will go far with basic obedience. Oh yes, I’m also neutered, vacci-nated and on heartworm prevention. I’d do best with someone experi-enced with the Akita
breed. If you’re that kind of person, please call!
◄I’m a heartmelter! My name is Jai and I’m a
happy, happy male puppy who is learning the basics
such as house-training, crate-training and leash-
training. I’m just 11-months-old and am also working with an
obedience trainer. My coat is a bold red and
black brindle, almost like tiger stripes. I may be mixed with American
Staffordshire Terrier and Lab. I’m still fairly small,
and I play well with dogs. Adopt me and let’s enjoy life!
To adopt or volunteer, visit the website at www.sunburstfoundationofwilmington.org. Volunteers are needed for adoption fairs,
fundraising, and showcasing dogs at events.
◄Hello there! I’m Smiley Girl. Care to guess how I got my name? I bet you know...I am
always smiling! I’m a young Yellow Lab/
Golden Retriever mix who was
brought to Pender County Animal Control. I’m
currently in a foster home and am impressing everyone with my friendly, well-
adjusted nature. I’m very smart, too! Unfortunately, I have been diagnosed with heartworms, but the good news is that
the Sunburst Foundation is helping raise funds for my treatment! If you’d like to help put me on the road to good
health, visit www.sunburstfoundationofwilmington.org, scroll down and click on the ‘Chip In’ button. Thank you!!
◄Hi, my name is Remington! I’m a 1½-
year-old male Irish Setter mix, and I have to say that I’m a very sweet boy. I’m great with people and I do well with most other dogs (but cats I like to chase). I am house-trained and will be a wonderful companion for an active family. I love to explore in the woods, so if you’re a hiker we’d be a
great match! I’m very smart, leash-trained and
in great health. Give yourself the gift of adopting an awesome dog like me!
◄Hi, my name is Blondie! I’m a sweet girl who appears to be mixed between an Eskimo Dog
and a Yellow Lab. Aren’t I beautiful? I weigh 45
pounds and am house-trained and crate-trained. I’m good with other dogs,
too! At just 5-years-old, I’m spayed, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention. I’m
a bit shy, but obedience training will help my self-confidence. I have been diagnosed with epilepsy and will
need to stay on medication for my lifetime, but please don’t let that stop you from adopting me! It’s relatively inexpensive and helps me so much. Please adopt me!

Hey, Look at Me! This photo was taken on my graduation day
from the Pawsitive Part-ners Prison Program.
My name is Radar and I’m part of the MASH group. I had a home but they brought me back in just a couple weeks because I was still confused about
where my potty room was. I’ve been living
with a foster mom who has helped me figure that out now! I am really good with other dogs and people of all sizes. I especially like the
little ones like I had in that other house while I was there. Can you please give me a chance? I’m only 10-months-
old so am still learning the ropes but I am very smart, really! I even have my obedience training diploma I can show you. To find out more, call 910-297-1338 or email [email protected]. Better yet, go right out and fill
an application to adopt me at www.montyshome.org.
I am sponsored by Barb Raab in honor of The Pet’s Pal Inn where I stayed while I was waiting
for a home. (It was fun there!!)
When will it finally be my turn to be
adopted? So many of my SOAR friends
have found families, but I’m still waiting. My name is Homer and I’m a 6-year-old Hound mix who is eager to please, a good listener, and
very intelligent. I’m neutered, vaccinated
and on heartworm prevention. I’m ex-tremely affectionate and would love to be
part of an active family who goes on daily
walks or outings to the beach or park. I love running and I love agility. Do you have a warm heart, a cozy home and a
6-foot, fenced-in yard? Are you experienced with my breed? A confident pack leader is just what I need! Please call SOAR at 910-457-6340 for more info on adopting me.
I am sponsored by SOAR in loving memory of all their
wonderful, furry friends who made it safely to the Rainbow Bridge.

Pet Ed 101 Gives Kids a Renewed Appreciation for Companion Animals These smiling faces at Burgaw Middle School’s after-school program celebrate the end of an education program by Monty’s Home and the beginning of a new appreciation of our four-legged companions.

The children learned the history of dogs, health and anatomy, how to be responsible pet owners, how to be safe around dogs, basics of training, overpopulation challenges and the importance of adoption. Classes incor-porated dogs to demonstrate and reinforce concepts. To bring the program into your local school system, volunteer, or find out more, contact [email protected] or visit www.montyshome.org.

My name is Maggie and I'm a 2-year-old, female Great Dane. I
came in as a owner surrender due to a growing family that no
longer had time for me. I have a lot of energy and will need a
fenced yard to run and play. My foster mom says I would do great with a home full of mindful chil-dren to play with or even a few
energetic dogs. I am submissive and play well with every size and
breed. I do get a little over-whelmed and scared when
rushed by dogs my size. I haven't met any cats or infants, yet. I act, look, and behave just like a Dane
but I'm very petite. I currently weigh in at 64 pounds. I can sit and stay and I’m a good listener. I would be a fantastic addition to any family and will be ready soon after completing my heartworm treat-
ment. Please call Terri with Mid-Atlantic Great Dane Res-cue League at 252-566-8934 or visit www.magdrl.org to
find out more about me and the adoption process.
I am sponsored in loving memory of Brunswick County K9 Deputy, Viper.
Adopt me and you’ll have an instant best friend! Hi, my
name is Maggie and I’m ready to give you so much love - our house will be overflowing with
it! I’m a 2-year-old Beagle/Jack Russell Terrier mix who weighs in at a perfectly sized 22 pounds. You can see how
adorable I am in my photo. You can also see that I know
how to sit on command. I was so happy to obey and was
even more happy to receive a treat in return. I’d be a great
addition for a family with children, and I also get along well with other dogs. I love to play, so a fenced-in yard is a
must. We will have such fun there together! I’m sure I’d chase a Frisbee, ball or any other toy you’d like to toss my way. As for my health, I’m already spayed, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention. So, are you ready to bring me home? Call Pender County Humane Society at 910-259-
7022. They’ll tell you how we can get together!

Hi, my name is Peaches! I’m a house-trained, friendly and loving Golden Retriever mix. Like most Golden’s, I’m a great companion for chil-
dren. And at 8-years of age, I’m still active and enjoy
playtime. I’m sure you can see by my photo what a
happy girl I am. You’d never guess that I came from a sad
background. I was once neglected and gave birth to
litter after litter of puppies. Luckily, all that has changed! My friends at Paw’s Place say I’ll soon be someone’s
faithful companion and, with my spay surgery complete, I’ll never have to worry about puppies again. All I want is
some TLC and a nice place to live. I think air conditioning is the best invention ever made (and it’s so hot living out-side at the shelter right now). So how about it - I’m not
asking for much, just kindness and good care. I’ll give you lots of love in return. Please call Paw’s Place at 910-845-
7297 and let’s get started on our new life together!
I am sponsored by Marybeth and Elliott Tepper in loving memory of Tripp (who was adopted from
Paw’s Place). We love him so much!
Hello folks, my name is Texas (Tex) and I’m currently enrolled in the Pawsitive Partners Prison Pro-gram at Pender Correctional Insti-tution in Burgaw. I was saved from
the shelter by my new friends at Monty’s Home and given a new
chance to find a loving family just like you. I am a 1-year-old brindle Plott Hound mix (in case you didn’t know it, I’m the official North Caro-lina state dog!) I really enjoy being around people. Currently, I’m be-ing trained on how to interact with
people by using proper manners. I am learning how to walk on a

I am a stunning young lady named Zumba! It fits me so well because I love to play and I play hard. I am little at only
around 30 to 35 pounds. I love to just sit beside
you for loving (or in your lap if you let me). I have the cutest little
ears that naturally fold backwards, and a nub tail! I love to make you
happy and I am very smart. I already know my name, as well as
Come, Sit, and No. I’m working on Stay and Paw. I love to lay around with you but I also love to go out-side and play with other dogs. I get along great with
everyone I meet. I am good with cats, dogs, and kids! My favorite activities include: chasing bumble bees, working on training, sleeping on my back, and eating! I am only around a year old and will flourish in any home. I am good on the leash (harness) and on car rides. I would do best in a home with a 6-foot high fence. If you would like to know more about me
or would like to inquire about adoption, please call Adopt-An-ANGEL at 910-392-0557.
Hi there! My name is Amber and I’m a petite Lab mix, just 5-years-old. I was
adopted from Pender County
Humane Society in 2006 with my
friend Shelby, but our family fell
upon hard times and had to return us to the shelter. Shelby has been
adopted, and now I’m waiting
for my new family to walk in! Here’s the great news: I’m already house-trained, leash-trained, spayed, up to date on shots and on heartworm prevention. I love all people and would be great with children. I absolutely ADORE water and enjoy splashing around in the pool they have for us at the shelter. Could you use a beach buddy or a sea-loving captain for your boat? Let’s talk about it when you come to the shelter! And if
you need directions or more info, please call Pender County Humane Society at 910-259-7022.

I am a stunning little girl named Baby. I am ex-
tremely loving and sweet-natured. I am pretty playful still and act like a puppy most of the
time. I will give you kisses con-stantly until you
make me stop. Considering I am still very much a full grown puppy, I can be mischievous if I am not
watched. I am working on house-training and I am learning where the door is and how to ask to go out. I LOVE sleeping in my crate or hanging out in it during
the day. I will bark when meeting new people, but only because I am scared and a little nervous, but I re-
spond very well to treats and am easily distracted and trusting of others with them. I need someone to adopt
me with time and patience to give. When my foster mom found me and my mom (Sadie, not pictured) we were wandering in a bad area, starving and sick. It
took us a while to come to her but now we love her to death. We are looking good and feeling healthy again
and ready for our new homes. If you would like to know more about me or to inquire about adoption, call
Adopt-An-ANGEL at 910-392-0557.
I’m a wonder-ful family dog named Bella! Look at my photo and
you will see how well-
behaved and obedient I
am. All they did was hold up a treat,
say ‘sit’, and I sat right
down with no hesitation.
I’m a 2-year-old Boxer/Bulldog mix who was found at Animal Con-
trol with my nine puppies. They have all been adopted so I’m ready to find a home where it’s my turn to be
the baby. I love everyone and never meet a stranger. I’m also house-trained, leash-trained and great with
children and other dogs. I’m sweet, gentle, calm and just an all-around terrific girl. I hope someone
(preferably with a fenced-in yard) will recognize what a jewel they would have in me. Please call Pender
County Humane Society at 910-259-7022. I can’t wait to get started on our new life together!
OPERATION TOPCAT
You can tell by my eyes that someone woke me up to take my picture. I knew it was necessary but it sure doesn't
show me at my best. My name is Mikey (pictured left) and I am a Brown Tabby who is 4-years-old. I'm pretty laid
back and love to watch people here at the local business where I currently live with my brother, Mickey. Sadly, we must find a new place to live. We can be inside or inside/outside as long as you live in a really safe place. I have been with my brother all these years so I am comfortable
with other cats. Don't know about dogs or kids. If you have room in your heart for one or both of us, we would be very happy. We are really no trouble at all. For more info, email [email protected] or call 910-200-0612. To see

My name is Roxi and I’m a 3-year-old Pit Bull Terrier with a playful and affectionate personality. I am used
to living indoors and am house-trained, crate-trained and leash-
trained. My former family had two little girls so I am accustomed to
being around children. I LOVE toys and I LOVE balls - it would be awe-
some to play some games in a fenced-in backyard. A young, active family would be a
great match for me as I love to go on outings. I would be an excellent candidate for agility and am bright, alert and attentive. I know how to sit on command and am spayed, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention. If you are famil-
iar with my breed and would like to meet me, call 910-675-0867 or email [email protected].

My name is Bingo and I'm a Shepherd mix who is approxi-mately 22-months of age. I was rescued just as my time ran out! I'm up to date on all of my vaccinations, I’m heart-worm negative, I’m neutered and I’m crate-trained. I just graduated from the " New Leash On Life" Obedience
Training, offered through the Bladen County Correctional
Center at White Lake. I was in training for about 10-weeks and I've learned so much! Now I would like to have a
furever home of my own. My adoption will include all of my vetting, a 6-month supply of
heartworm pills, a large bag of food and I will be getting a microchip. I love to run and play and I get along with all
other dogs but I don't like cats. I also love children. I would really love to have a fenced yard to play in and to also con-tinue with my obedience training. If you are interested in a good looking fellow who is already trained and who loves people, then I'm the dog for you. Please contact Pat by

My name is Boo and I’ve had a rough go of it lately. I was prego and in
labor for two whole days before my owners surrendered me to the shel-
ter. Some of my babies didn’t survive but the ones who did have been
adopted. I was such a great mom to them and to another abandoned
puppy, too. I am 5-years-old, spayed, vaccinated, crate-trained, leash-
trained and weigh only 43 pounds. I did test positive for heartworms but
am undergoing treatment for them at no additional cost to you. I am a genuine people-lover and
need a home with a fenced yard where I can be the only pet. For more info, call Furever Friends Animal Rescue at 910-383-2100 (Monday through Saturday between 8am-6pm).

PHOENIX LANDING FOUNDATION
Hi, my name is Ecco. I am a
Cinnamon Green Cheek conure. I am as sweet as
they come and am only 2-
years-old. My owners recently
divorced and both moved
somewhere that did not allow pets, so they broken-heartedly gave me up for adoption. I love to eat grapes (as I am doing in my picture) but I am a bit camera shy! I come with my own cage that has a wonderful play top with lots of toys and I have been accustomed to spending a lot of time there. I am up to date on vaccines and blood work and am overall very healthy! I am looking for a home that can give me lots of love and attention. To adopt me, or to foster or
adopt another of the many parrots who are awaiting homes, contact Phoenix Landing at www.phoenixlanding.org (click

spayed, up to date on vacci-nations, house-trained,
heartworm negative and I LOVE other dogs. I am a petite girl who weighs ap-proximately 23 pounds. I have the most gorgeous

SCHNAUZER RESCUE OF THE CAROLINAS
CAROLINA BASSET HOUND RESCUE
Are you looking for a Basset who is a head above the rest? A semi-herculean hound, with eating and sleeping super powers? A gentle giant to be your constant compan-ion? To whistle while you work? To make you smile when times
are hard? To breathe new life into your Christmas card? Then let me talk to you a second. My name is Webster and I’ve got my sad story just like all these other
hounds. I’ve been in and out of halfway houses since I found myself homeless after my person became too sick to care for me. But I’m a doggy biscuit-canister half full kind
of guy and I know the right person is out there for me somewhere. I like groceries, long AND short walks on the beach or street, naps anywhere, washing dishes, and play-ing with an endless supply of toys. If you’re looking for an
on-again-off-again active hound, mid 6’s, with lots of love to give, then let’s do lunch, see where it goes. To make me a
member of your family, please call 919-708-4247 or visit our website at www.cbhr.com
I am Callie and I am known as the sweetest of them all. I chose this
name because I am a big fan of CSI Miami and I admire a character
named Caleigh. I have a long body and long ears. I am too skinny to be adopted right now as the vet said that I need some weight before I can go under anesthesia and have my sur-
gery. So, I will be chomping at the food bowl and gaining the weight necessary. I like to play with boy dogs and love
people, too. I do not seem to like girl dogs at all and am looking for a cat free home. However, if you want a Basset
beauty as an addition to your family, ask about adopting me, Callie. It'll be worth the wait! To make me a member of
your family, call 919-708-4247 or visit www.cbhr.com
Howlo everyone, my name is Dixon and I was just sprung
from the pokey. You’re proba-bly thinking “This is the hound
your mother warned you about.” I assure you that I ended up in the pokey through no fault of my own. I am 3½-years-old, I
have been having a grand time with my foster brothers, and I’m getting adjusted to living in normal society again. I do not mind sharing my food, toys or water and I like to pile up on
my foster brothers at bedtime. I am completely house-trained and have not had one single accident. I sure do love the doggie door and also enjoy going on walks. My alter ego will get on the recliner if no one is looking. I will
make someone a wonderful life-long companion, could it be you? To make me a member of your family, please call
919-708-4247 or visit www.cbhr.com.
My name is Corky and I’m a beau-tiful, sweet and calm boy. I really love being a "house hound". I am curious, smart, and love people. I
get along with dogs, large and small, and am house-trained and crate-trained. I’m learning to love
treats and toys and give kisses. All I want to do is please you so I can
get a lot of lovin’. I’m a beautiful white greyhound with a spot of brindle. Very adorable young man, wouldn’t you say? Please contact Barbara at 910-540-9644 or 910-395-5182 for more info on adopting me. You can view

My name is Romeo and I'm a 2½-year-old harlequin boy. I came
back to rescue due to economic reasons. I'm very sweet and lov-ing, especially with women, but more cautious with men. Walks are my favorite! I'm also totally
trustworthy when left alone in the house and I’m crate-trained. I haven't had the opportunity to
meet any children yet as my foster mom doesn't have any. I do have
a tendency to be protective at home. Like most Great Danes, I'm
a couch potato and follow my foster mom around the house. My favorite thing is to be petted and I love to take a bath! I will make a great companion for an adult couple or single person. I'm also in perfect health. For more info, please call Terri at 252-566-8934 or visit www.magdrl.org.

with people and other dogs. So if I sound like the perfect fit for you, visit www.schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org.

URGENT, URGENT!! I’m Running Out of Time!
I was featured in last month’s issue but didn’t find a home! How can that be? Doesn’t someone out there need a kitten to spice up their life? How about a playful, purry
one with the best personality ever? If you said yes, I’m
your girl! Hello, my name is Dee Dee (FF3553) and I
arrived at the shelter when I was just a few weeks old - that was in February!! It’s
now July, and I’m still here! PLEASE, won’t someone take me home? It really worries me that time is ticking
away! I adore people and have melted everyone’s heart. I stick my paw out the cage for attention and I love to be
held. Be my guardian angel, please! Call Pender County Animal Control at 910-259-1349 or Officer Clewis at 910-
279-3196 and let’s talk about my future with you.
I am sponsored by Pine Valley Animal Hospital in honor of all compassionate people who
rescue pets in need.
I’m a social and super friendly boy who has never met a
stranger. My name is Rocky and I had a bit of a rocky start in life.
I’m 7-months-old and had a home of my very own. My owners sur-rendered me because I caught a stomach bug and they couldn’t afford to treat it. I really felt bad
but the vet took wonderful care of me and now I’m all better. I know how to sit and stay for a treat, I’m leash-trained, I’m house-trained, I am good with kids and other dogs and I’m crate-trained. They say I’m mixed breed and that it looks like I might have some
Husky in me along with some Shepherd and maybe a dash or two of something with short legs. I’m a calm yet playful guy who is neutered, vaccinated, on heartworm prevention
and weighs just 39 pounds. I would like for my new home to have a fenced yard that I can go out and run around in. For more info, call Furever Friends Animal Rescue at 910-383-
2100 (Monday through Saturday between 8am-6pm).
