| Priscilla is a 1 year old spayed female MinPin, which is part Miniature Pinscher, and part Italian Greyhound. A very popular mix of breeds. This gorgeious girl is just 10-pounds and fully grown, with a striking blue and tri-color coat that's easy to care for. She's very happy and athletic, and she kmows her basic commands, but might need a refresher course in house-training once she gets into a new home. She gets along really well with other dogs and respects cats. She also loves playing with her toys and chewing on rawhides. Her adoption fee is just $75. The Chula Vista Animal Care Facility is located at 130 Beyer Way in Chula Vista, almost exactly between the 5 and the 805 just South of Main St and they're open Tuesday through Friday from 9:30 to 4 p.m. and Saturday to 3 p.m. |

| The African Spur Sulcata is the third largest land tortoise in the World, and grows up to 200-pounds. They sometimes are difficult to adopt out because of their size and appetite....not to mention they may live 150-200 years. Plus, they require a round-the-clock heat house. This species eats many hours during the day, with his main diet being grass, weeds, flowers and hay. The flowers include hibiscus, roses and geraniums. (Leaves included) Wandering jew and cactus are also favorites. A secure yard with no see-through fence and no dog are important prerequisites, along with the heat-house. Like most tortoises this guy must live by himself. Adoptions are free to turtle society's members. Membership can be easily obtained through the website at www.sdturtle.org. San Diego Turtle & Tortoise Society is a 501c3 non-profit organization. Their objectives are rescue, adoption and education. |

| Ajax is an outgoing, lively kitty who loves to run around the house and play. He has a healthy dose of curiosity but also loves to curl up in a comfy lap while someone pets him. He's very affectionate and loves human interaction. He gets along with other felines, but not crazy about dogs. He does tend to get a little over-zealous when he plays, so younger, more energetic cats would make good companions for him. |
|
| Jack is a California Desert Tortoise available for adoption from the San Diego Turtle and Tortoise Society. He's about 15-25 years old, but he should live to be 100 with proper care. He's native to the California Desert, and while it's legal for you to adopt and own a California desert tortoise, it's illegal to take them from, or return them to the desert without a permit. 90-percent of Jack's diet consists of grasses and weeds, and he needs an outdoor area measuring at least 16-by-20 feet. Meet Jack and find out more fascinating facts about turtles and tortoises at the Escondido Street Fair this Sunday, May 20th. It's easy to find the San Diego Turtle & Tortoise Society booth as it's always the one with all the kids gathered around it! There's no fee to adopt, but they do require you sign up for a membership to the San Diego Turtle and Tortoise Society. Go to www.SDTurtle.org for more information! |

| These two little Poodle puppies are just too adorable! Their mom is a poodle and their dad was a friendly stranger, so we're not quite sure what they're mixed with. They're expected to be about 10-pounds when full-grown. They live with a wonderful, attentive foster family, and they have already learned how to use the doggy door at their foster home. They're almost house-trained, and crate trained. Both puppies are good with all the other foster dogs, and are very social with everyone they meet. They will need a family member who is home most of the time while they are pups so that they can continue to receive the training they need, and puppy classes are highly recommended. If you're interested in adopting one of these precious puppies, please call Becky with Aussies and Others Dog Rescue at 619-469-3748. You can also inquire about fostering opportunities if you're not ready to adopt a dog right away. |

Valley Parkway, open from 10 a.m to 5 p.m every day. Her adoption fee includes a behavioral evaluation, spay, microchip, vet exam, vaccinations and a vet check after adoption.

| Sweetie is an 8-year-old spayed female Shih Tzu mix available for adoption at the Escondido Humane Society. Sweetie definitely earned her name, as she quickly won her way into the hearts of staff and volunteers at the shelter for her friendly, easy-going nature. She's just 13-pounds, and doesn’t demand a lot of activity, although she does love her daily walks. She's quiet, well-behaved and enjoys belly rubs. She also gets along well with other small dogs, so she wouldn’t mind having a canine companion in her new home. Sweetie is available for adoption at the Escondido Humane Society, 3450 E. Valley Parkway. Her $85 adoption fee includes behavior evaluation, spay, microchip, vet exam, vaccinations and a wellness exam after adoption.

| Note: Daisy originally came to EHS as a stray when she was just a puppy. By no fault of her own, she has been adopted and returned several times. Daisy is a 3-year-old spayed female boxer mix available for adoption at the Escondido Humane Society. Daisy has been in a great foster home for over a year now, but she'd really like to have a place to hang her leash permanently! Daisy is a good-natured girl with a sense of humor. Her fun-loving personality would thrive in an active household and with older, sturdy children. Although Daisy loves to play with other dogs, she may be best as the only dog of the house due to her high energy level, especially when she plays. While hiking out in nature and splashing in her swimming pool are some of her favorite activities, she also enjoys a good cuddle and just being with the family. She is friendly with everyone she meets and is housebroken. Daisy’s big news is that she has officially passed her AKC Canine Good Citizen Test. That means she has acquired the skills and good manners to be a community member in good standing and a reliable companion. This is not an easy test, and Daisy passed with flying colors! She continues to attend Canine Good Citizen Class at the shelter and also has attended classes at Hidden Valley Obedience Club. Daisy learns quickly and has a handle on basic obedience. She offers a sit at each gate/door and walks well on a leash. Some of the obedience commands she is perfecting are stay (both sit and down), heel, come, wait, leave it, roll over, and she is adding new ones all the time. Daisy is available for adoption from the Escondido Humane Society, 3450 E. Valley Parkway. Her $85 adoption fee includes spay, microchip, vet exam, up-to-date vaccinations and a wellness exam after adoption. If you aren’t ready to adopt, please consider fostering an animal in need. It doesn't cost you anything, and all materials are provided as well as training. For more information, call (760) 888-2275 or log on to EscondidoHumaneSociety.org. The Escondido Humane Society Adoption Center is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week. |

| Bonnie is 70-pound, calm lap-dog available for adoption from the Chula Vista Animal Shelter. She's a very happy, 3 year old Pit Bull. She loves to cuddle, she's good with other dogs, and she respects cats, but people are her number one priority, so she'd be fine as an only pet. Because of her size, a home without small toddlers would also be a good idea. She walks great on a leash and even has some basic obedience and crate training. You can meet Bonnie and her other shelter buddies at the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility on Beyer Way which is just south of Main Street between the 5 and 805, or stop by Scobee Park in Chula Vista this Satuday, May 12th, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for a special adoption event. Scobee Park is located at 2390 Boswell Road. You can also call the Adoption Coordinator at 619-764-9824 for more information about adopting Bonnie, or even fostering a shelter dog until a permanent home can be found. |

| If you're looking for a friendly dog with a great personality, then you'll want to head over to the El Cajon Animal Shelter on North Marshall Street and meet Trent. He's a handsome 5-year-old Pit Bull with great markings and just three legs! He doesn't seem to even notice that he's missing a leg, as he enjoys playing fetch and exercising. He's fantastic with everyone he meets. Because of his steller personality, the shelter staff were really surprised, and frankly disappointed, that his owner never came to claim Trent after he wound up at the shelter. The El Cajon Animal Shelter is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 to 5, and if you stop by, you can meet Trent in kennel #11. His ID number is 12080, and he's neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped. If Trent isn't the dog for you, there are countless other wonderful dogs and cats for adoption! |
|
| Tilda is a mix of Corgi and Spaniel, and she's available for adoption from Aussies & Others Dog Rescue. She's just a puppy at 6 months of age, and she weighs in at 17-pounds. Her foster family reports that she's very smart, already housebroken, and sleeps quietly through the night. She's well-socialized and loves all the other dogs she meets, so if you already have a canine looking for a buddy, she may be the perfect match. She also loves kids, and she's great on a leash, and rides well in the car. She loves to snuggle at the end of the day. One of the greatest benefits of adopting a foster dog is that another family has already taken her into their home, and learned all about her. This makes it so much easier on the family who gets to adopt her. If you're interested in adopting Tilda, please call Becky with Aussies & Others Dog Rescue at 619-469-3748. |

| Tiny Timmy is a house-broken, neutered 7-month-old puppy looking for a home with calm, understanding people who are willing to work with him to build his confidence and let him know he is safe and loved. He is initially shy with new people but once he is comfortable, he's a sweet, playful pup who is a real joy to be around! He's playful, house-broken, loves riding in cars, going for long walks and playing with other dogs. He loves playing fetch, and having a box full of toys that he can scatter around the house and chase or chew. He isn’t yappy and very rarely barks He sleeps through the night in his crate, and after a good play doesn't mind napping in his crate for several hours at a stretch during the day. He also loves to cuddle. Tiny Timmy was hit by a car last December and severely injured, with wounds to his skull and front leg, some fractured ribs and a fractured back leg. The accident left him with several small scars, including one on the top of his head that makes his hair stand up in a cute little faux-hawk, but otherwise the vets agree that he has fully recovered and will have no future medical complications related to his past injuries. He's a normal, happy little guy who runs and plays like any other spirited puppy! Please call Animal Rescuers Without Borders today to adopt Timmy or to find out about fostering opportunities for other great dogs. |

| Bebe is a 1 year old Border Collie mix who is turning out to be an excellent Frisbee dog. She's very active and smart, which is typical of her breed. She loves her walks and she gets along with all the dogs she meets, which means she'll be fun to take to the off-leash dog parks and beaches. Her foster family says she also loves playing with tennis balls and helping them in the garden. She's full-grown at just 28-pounds...a perfect size, especially for a smaller home or condo, or even for a couple who likes to travel in an R.V. She's also a very sweet and loving lap dog, and will make some lucky person an excellent companion. If you're interested in adopting Bebe, please call Becky with Aussies & Others Dog Rescue at 619-469-3748 or e-mail AusShepards@cox.net. All rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, vet checked, vaccinated, microchipped, and live in a REAL home with a REAL family, so that their personalities and habits are tested out by experienced foster guardians before being placed with a new adopter. |

| Orejas was a stray Cattle dog/lab pup found in the streets of Mexico just four months ago. He spend two months growing up in a local vet hospital until a proper foster home could be found...which is a good reminder about why we so desperately need good foster homes to help our local rescues and shelters save these lives. Anyway, the foster family has a large and small dog of their own, as well as a cat, and Orejas gets along with them all! He loves to play, and would enjoy a canine companion who could keep up with him! He's crate trained, housebroken, and very well-behaved and relaxed indoors. He doesn't bark unless he has a good reason, he walks well on a leash and he enjoys car rides. He's a playful, loving, well-socialized puppy who is just 10 months old. At 40-pounds, he's just about full-grown and in perfect health. If you're interested in adopting Orejas or becoming a foster family for a pet in need, call Animal Rescuers Without Borders at 619-977-3593. |

| It's been said that wonderful things come in small packages, and Chloe just might fall into that category. She is a small, adorably sweet and loveable Chihuahua girl, about 1.5 years old, with a beautiful tan coat. She's just so very deserving of a forever home. She promises not to take up much room in the house, but because she's so small and dainty, a family without small children would be the safest environment for her. She's even house-trained. Chloe enjoys the company of other dogs, and loves going for walks. She's excellent on a leash! Like all the other animals at the El Cajon Animal shelter, she needs a forever home, with a forever family, and a nice little yard where she can enjoy herself...and at night, she needs a soft and snuggly bed in the house, so she can be close to her person or family. Chloe's hair is really short, so she doesn't require a lot of grooming. Please visit Chloe in kennel #56 where she waits patiently for someone to love her again. Use ID#11891 when you inquire about her. All pets are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped before adoption. |

| Samson is a 48 pound, 1 year old Shepherd/Pit mix available for adoption through the Escondido Humane Society.

He's been a good boy at the shelter, has had a few play dates, but really he's just been there so long that he needs to find a home of his own soon. Sunning in a back yard, sleeping in a real house, belly rubs and car rides....these are the things he needs. Samson is neutered, fully vaccinated, micro chipped, de wormed, de fleaed, behavior tested, and if you live in San Marcos, Poway, or Escondido, the dog license is included. A free vet exam is provided for you to use for Samson during his first two weeks of adoption. If Samson is not the dog for you, please consider adopting or even fostering another dog.

|
| Emery is a 1-year-old neutered male Chihuahua mix available for adoption at the Escondido Humane Society. Emery is a special boy in need of a special home. He is deaf, and some humans may think that not being able to hear is a huge handicap. Emery doesn't seem to see it that way at all. He's a friendly little guy, both to humans and other dogs, and he is a frequent visitor to the shelter Canine Good Citizen class. He has a volunteer pal who is starting to teach him some simple commands using hand signals, and he seems eager to learn, using his other senses instead. Obviously Emery will thrive the best in a calm household, where his life won't be full of surprises, but he'll make someone a great walking companion (on a leash) and cuddle pal. If Emery could talk, he'd probably say "Just treat me like a regular dog and let my nose and eyes do the work!" Emery is available for adoption from the Escondido Humane Society, 3450 E. Valley Parkway. His $85 adoption fee includes neuter, microchip, vet exam, up-to-date vaccinations and a wellness exam after adoption.

| Chica is a very petite and beautiful spayed Chihuahua in need of a new home. She'd like a place with a little yard, and then at night she enjoys curling up near her family on her warm doggie bed. She's in kennel #58 at the El Cajon Animal Shelter, and because she's a little shy and doesn't run up to new people, she's unfortunately gone unnoticed at the shelter. But you'll see her true, sweet nature if you just ask to play with her in the exercise yard. You'll see she has a zest for life, and she's very loving. She even gets along with other dogs. Because of her petite size, they'd prefer to place her in a home without children. She enjoys going for walks, and her grooming needs are minimal as she has this short, shiny, reddish/brown coat. To top it all off, she's completely housetrained. Meet Chica at the El Cajon Animal Shelter at 1275 N. Marshall Street |

| Yogi Bear has been available for adoption for 1.5 YEARS, when he was brought to the Escondido Humane Society as a stray, but luckily for him, he's in a temporary foster home for the time being. He's a special needs pet, with limited vision, but his foster mom says he's a sweet guy, who gets along with other dogs in the home, enjoys playing with them, as well as stretching out in the cool grass and enjoying the sunshine. Other than his vision, he's completely healthy and ready to join a new family who will be accepting of his disability. He's housetrained, crate trained, fully vaccinated, micro chipped, de wormed, de fleaed, and comes with a free health check after adoption.

| If you are looking for two incredibly nice Chihuahua-mix ladies who are 7 years old, then look no further than the El Cajon Animal Shelter. Brandy and Chechei's owner could no longer take care of them, so they're in need of a new forever family. They have delightful personalities, are sweet, lovable, and very cute, and must be adopted together, because they are the very best of friends! They're the perfect size for someone who doesn't have a large yard, and their short hair is simple to maintain. They love to play together, and at night, all they want is a soft, snuggly dog bed in the house, where they can curl up together and be close to their new family. They're great little dogs, who will bring someone lots of happiness and joy...and that's a promise! They currently reside in kennel #29 at the El Cajon Animal Shelter on North Marshall Street, accepting visitors from 10 to 5:30, Tuesday through Saturday. |

| Buffy is a long-haired, buff-colored Polydactyl, which is a cat that's born with more than the usual number of toes on its paws. She's about 10 years old, so I imagine it'll be tough for National Cat Protection Society to find her a home, but maybe someone will see her today and give her a chance. She is a very sweet girl who loves to be brushed and likes to lick people. She'll need to have her nails trimmed regularly. Buffy is litter box trained, microchiped, dewormed, flea treated, vaccinated, and tested for diseases. To help put a dent in the pet-overpopulation crisis in Spring Valley, National Cat Protection Society is offering free spay and neuters for cat owners in their neighborhood for a limited time only, so please call their hotline at 619-616-8748 and leave your information for a reservation or e-mail springvalley@natcat.org. |

| Ronnie was abandoned at a vet hospital in October because he had Parvo virus* and nearly died at just 6 weeks of age. He was nursed back to health by the veterinarian who then reached out to Animal Rescuers Without Borders to help him find a home of his own. He's now 8 months old and as happy and sweet as can be at a healthy 50-pounds. He's grown up around lots of other dogs and cats, and he's been a joy to have around. He's crate trained and rides well in the car...but he still needs some training on a leash. Now that he's almost full grown, he really needs a stable, loving family who will commit to him for the rest of his life. Whether your interested in temporarily fostering or permanently adopting Ronnie, please call Animal Rescuers Without Borders today! *Parvo is an especially deadly virus. Puppies purchased from unscrupulous backyard breeders often come down with the disease, which can cost upwards of $5,000 to treat, and often the puppies still die. Reputable shelters and adoption agencies are required, by law, to vaccinate puppies against the virus. If you purchase a puppy from a backyard breeder, you are responsible for all medical costs whether the puppy lives, or not. |

| Star is a 2-year-old Pit Bull mix for adoption at the Escondido Humane Society. He's a sweet, young dog with a calm and well-mannered demeanor. He was adopted from the shelter as a tiny puppy, but his family is moving and just brought him back to the shelter. Star is friendly and polite to all new people and dogs he meets. Star loves to chase the ball and always brings it back and drops it on command, and waits patiently for you to throw it again. He's a social dog with moderate energy who settles down nicely after his daily walk. Star is available for adoption at the Escondido Humane Society, 3450 E. Valley Parkway, open every day from 10 to 5. He's neutered, microchipped, vet checked, fully vaccinated and professionally evaluated for temperament. |

| Marlowe is a very pretty little brindle Greyhound who has been at the Greyhound Adoption Center since December 3rd when she came from the Caliente racetrack with 14 other Greyhounds. She'll be four years old in June, and she is a happy, lively girl who absolutely loves playing with her toys! She adores people, including children, and would be ideal as an only pet, or maybe in a home with another large dog...but she shouldn't be in a home with cats or small dogs. |
|
| Cheers is a 6 month old kitten for adoption from Animal Rescuers Without Borders. He's a short haired tabby who is healthy, fully vaccinated, neutered and tested negative for feline diseases. He was rescued from Baja Mexico by a family in November who named him Cheers, because he's always smiling, happy and loving attention. He's a playful, funny, active and cuddly kitten who'd be good in a home with another cat, and he'd also be good with gentle children who would play with him. He purrs like crazy when you start to pet him. Cheers currently lives in a foster home with other cats, as well as large and small dogs. He's clearly not comfortable around the big dogs, so hopefully we can find him a home without big dogs. Call ARWOB today to find out how you can make this happy feline part of your life and family. |

| Toto 2 is a Yorkie for adoption from Boxers N Birds Animal Rescue. He's an easy-going, quiet little man who is a bit shy when you first meet him, but he warms up pretty quickly. He loves being held, sitting in laps, and cuddling. He's good on short walks, but he's not a real high-energy dog. He recently had some dental work at Mission Animal & Bird Hospital in Oceanside, and they say he's still a bit sensitive around the mouth for now. He's good with cats and dogs of all sizes. Kids are also not a problem, as long as they understand that he's going to be a little sore around his mouth for a while. He's completely housebroken and crate-trained, and he loves sleeping on his doggie bed. Of course all pets adopted from Boxers N Birds Rescue are always fully vaccinated, and spayed or neutered.

| Richie is an African Spur Sulcata Tortoise available for adoption from the San Diego Turtle & Tortoise Society. He’s approximately 7 years old and can live more than 100 years, so you’re looking at a very long-term commitment and possibly a pet who will be looked after from one generation to the next. The Sulcata is the third largest tortoise in the world and can grow to be 200-pounds. Richie doesn’t hibernate but he does need a heat house all year long. His diet consists of grass and weeds, hay, cactus, flowers and leaves from both hibiscus and geraniums. He lives happily with no other tortoises, and especially no dogs, as dogs will often mistake the shells of turtles and tortoises for bones to chew on. If you’re interested in adopting Richie, call the San Diego Turtle & Tortoise Society and find out how you can become a member. There’s no adoption fee for members, and membership is only $25. |

| Virgil is a 2-year-old neutered male Chihuahua mix for adoption at the Escondido Humane Society. He's your typical Chihuahua with a pint-sized frame, but he’s spirited and outgoing. His foster family reports that he does well with the other small dogs in the home and loves to cuddle with people. Because of his size, he'd be a great companion for apartment dwellers, but he wouldn’t mind having a yard to play in, either. He's neutered, microchipped, vet checked, and vaccinated. If you aren’t ready to adopt, please consider fostering an animal in need. It doesn't cost you anything, and all materials and training are provided. The Escondido Humane Society Adoption Center is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week. Also, a reminder to mark your calendars for Valentine's Day Pet Portraits on February 4th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the shelter.

| One of the best things about adopting a dog from a foster home, is that you get to save the life of a shelter pet, but someone else has already done a trial run with the dog to learn about it's personality and habits. In this case, Karma is living with a foster family who says she's an excellent dog who is already housebroken, great with other dogs, and is well-behaved around their young children. The foster mom works from home, so she is able to spend a lot of time getting to know Karma and she only has positive things to report, like how easily Karma has picked up on her basic commands! She's a 3-year-old, 60-pound Pit Bull mix and her adoption fee is only $25 for the next 5 days only. The Escondido Humane Society would also like me to remind you to call or log onto their website to learn about fostering a shelter animal, or to find out about their upcoming Valentine's Day Pet Portraits on February 4th to which you can bring your own pet. The shelter is located on East Valley Parkway, and they're open every day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. |

| Gracie is a Corgi/Aussie mix, available for adoption from a rescue agency called Dogz In Need. She's a low-maintenance girl who's already housebroken and minds very well. They know this for a fact because she's in a foster home, which makes the transition into a permanent home so much easier on the adopters. Gracie likes to stay close to her people, and prefers a calm environment without a lot of excitement and activity. She'd do well in an adult-only home, or one with teenagers or older kids, who tend to be more calm and gentle with a dog. She does really well with smaller dogs but will also tolerate bigger ones. Cats, however, are a no no!! She takes a few minutes to warm up to people, and then she just wants to be loved. Gracie walks well on a leash and loves to go on walks. She's a wonderful dog who'd love to cuddle up with you while you're watching a movie, or hang out with you in the kitchen you while you cook dinner. If you're interested in adopting Gracie or finding out how you can get involved in fostering a pet, call Dogz In Need in the North County at 951-290-1666. |

| Lena is a 15 month old, 8-pound Chihuahua who is already house trained and crate trained, she also doesn't bark much, and she knows how to use a doggie door. She's a very special little girl who came into the shelter system with a severely deformed front leg from an old injury that had never been treated. The leg was amputated which has not slowed her down a bit. She can jump in bed with you for a nap, she jumps on the couch for a movie, and she has no problem getting into the car for a trip to the dog park. She gets along great with all her foster brothers and sisters and is very patient with the puppies who like to cuddle with her. She is a very well behaved little dog who would love a home with someone who will appreciate how wonderful she is. She's just a wonderful little companion and would be an asset to any family or individual looking for a buddy. Call Aussies & Others today to find out more about adoption or fostering. |

She loves to play fetch with a ball, enjoys to swim in the pool, and is a pleasure to walk with in the neighborhood. Minnie is crate trained, potty trained, and knows her basic commands.

The dog license is included in the adoption fee if you live in San Marcos, Poway, or Escondido. If Minnie is not the dog for you, there are many other animals that are waiting for their forever home. Also, please consider fostering an animal in need, all materials and training are provided. |

| Britta is a 2 year old, female Retriever mix available for adoption from Chesapeake Bay Retriever Rescue. She's been in a foster home for a really long time, because most people call Chessie Rescue for that specific breed, and it's hard for them to talk someone into a different breed when they already know what they want. So this TV spot today brings us hope that while we weren't able to make her Christmas wishes come true, maybe we'll find her a family of her own in the New Year! Britta is a darling, happy girl who was found playing with kids in a canal out in Yuma with severe burns on her back. She had to undergo painful surgery this past year to remove some of the scar tissue and help in the healing process. She's a friendly, intelligent, energetic girl who loves to play with other dogs and meet new people. She especially loves children and would love nothing more than to snuggle with a new family and receive lots of love. She'd thrive in an active environment. She has a strong retrieving drive and can out-run any dog at the park! She recently started agility training, and has proven to be a star. With continued training, she'll be quite the competitor in dog sports. Call Chesapeake Bay Retriever Rescue today, and be sure to help us spread the word and find her a home! |

| Little Angel is a 9 year old female chihuahua available for adoption through the Escondido Humane Society's Foster Care Program. Little Angel's foster guardian reports that she is a delight to have around, bonds very quickly to people, and loves to spend in a comfy lap. She's very tiny at only 6 pounds, and she is not a big eater. She's crate trained, and loves to snuggle up in her doggie blankets and bed. She is in a home with another chihuahua, and enjoys having a small buddy around. She'd probably do best in a quiet, calm home. Little Angel is already spayed, behavior tested, fully vaccinated, micro chipped, de wormed and de fleaed. She also comes with a free vet exam to use after adoption.

| Harold is a beautiful medium-haired cat available for adoption from the Friends of Cats shelter in El Cajon. He has a hint of tabby coloring, making him look almost peach-colored, with giant bold blue eyes. He was left behind in the shelter's parking lot by a homeless person, who just dropped him and walked off. Probably a good time to remind everyone that abandoning a pet, even in a shelter parking lot, is illegal. Harold will be a treasure for some lucky family....not only because of his beauty, but because he's just a big, sweet guy....weighing in at 19-pounds, he's bigger than some of the dogs we feature. Harold is 10 yrs old, which is going to make it a little tough to find him a home, but remember that a healthy indoor cat can live 18-20 years! He loves catnip, treats (obviously), and playing with the laser light pen...pretty playful for such a big boy. A quick reminder that Friends of Cats is holding their annual Open House in September, including lots of activities for kids, and kitten races which are always a big hit. |

| Meg is a beautiful Australian shepherd mix with a beautiful dark red brindle coat, who found herself without a family after her owner died recently. She weighs 45-pounds and has been living with a foster family who has four other dogs and she gets along well with all of them. They say she she scans the perimeter of the property looking for critters who try to get into the yard. She leads the pack when running for a tennis ball, and though she would never hurt anyone, she's a great watch dog who will be sure to let you know when someone comes to the front door. Meg is crate-trained, housebroken, and knows her basic commands. She'd be a great companion for a family with or without another dog. She loves lying around in the evening watching the television with her family. Please call Becky with Aussies & Others Dog Rescue to find out about adopting this fabulous girl or fostering a dog in need. |

| Baby is an 11-year-old spayed female who is available for adoption from the Friends of Cats Shelter in El Cajon. She's spayed, current on all her vaccinations, tested negative for feline diseases, microchipped and comes with a free vet visit and carrier if needed. Her fee is only $35 because she's more than 10 years old, and the shelter knows it's a challenge to find adopters for pets this age. In fact, most shelters wouldn't even accept Baby because of her age. But remember, when properly cared for and kept indoors, cats can live to 20-years. Baby has been at the shelter for almost a year, and is so incredibly lovable. She's great with other cats, and could be placed in a home with or without kids. She likes to lick, she loves to have her back scratched and her belly rubbed. Taking care of cats, like Baby, is what Friends of Cats has been doing for the past 81 years. |
