Take Me Home - Pet Adoption and Animal Rescue - Pet Life Radio Original

Susan Daffron talks to Robert Shapiro from Social Tees Animal Rescue about two cats named Harris and Samuel who are available for adoption. Social Tees Animal Rescue (S.T.A.R.) is a non-profit 501c3 organization that takes abandoned animals from New York shelters and provides them with a safe haven and veterinary care until they are placed in a proper home.

STAR rescues, rehabilitates and places more than 3000 dogs, cats, birds and reptiles every year. Like many cats, Harris and Samuel ended up in rescue through no fault of their own; their owner died leaving them homeless. These two kitties are about 10 years old and need to be adopted together. Harris is a black cat with beautiful green eyes and Samuel is a silvery tabby. They are both mellow easygoing cats that would be suitable for virtually any family. All they need is a home. Could it be yours?

Susan Daffron talks to Bobbi Allen, the Shelter Manager at the Animal Welfare Society in Kennebunk, Maine about a Labrador mix named Berkeley. Berkeley is a dog who was actually transferred from Georgia through the Paws Across America program. When the Animal Welfare Society has space available, they work with volunteers in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Georgia to transport puppies and dogs from overcrowded facilities to Maine for a second chance at life.

In Berkeley's case, a Georgia volunteer saw this 2 1/2 year old Labrador Mix and realized that as black dog, no matter now nice he is Berkeley might be overlooked for adoption simply because of his coloring. Berkeley was treated for heartworm and then made the trek northward to Maine. He is an energetic smart dog who is treat-motivated and eager to please so he'll be extremely easy to train. This loveable dog would be a great addition to almost any family, even if you're a new dog owner. If you've been looking to include a great dog in your life, Berkeley could be just the dog for you.

Susan Daffron talks to Dian Setz from Diabetic Cats in Need about two 8-year old male orange cats named Beasley and Twinkie. Diabetic Cats in Need is a small, nonprofit rescue that helps diabetic cats and their people. In addition to helping and educating caregivers of diabetic cats, they also rehome diabetic cats. People who need help understanding how to treat a diabetic cat can receive a tremendous amount of support from either the Feline Diabetes Message Board and Diabetic Cat Care. DCIN is also on Facebook and Yahoo Groups. DCIN does not have a shelter facility and many cats are now in foster homes. Beasley and Twinkie were in a home, but their human "mom" went into a domestic abuse shelter and had to surrender her cats to an animal shelter where they were to be euthanized. But the caring folks at DCIN found out about the situation and are sponsoring the cats in their foster home.

Susan Daffron talks to Martie Petrie from Ken-Mar Rescue in California about a two-year old Tibetan Terrier mix named Lois who is available for adoption. Lois is a sweet tan and white "Benji look-alike" dog who ended up at the shelter after her owners turned her in. The claimed they had "no time" for Lois, who was not surprisingly sad and bit shy when the folks at Ken-Mar Rescue pulled her out of the shelter. After receiving love and attention in her foster home, Lois' true affectionate personality has returned and she is happily wagging again. At only 10 pounds or so, Lois is an extremely petite little terrier who loves going for walks and also sharing some quality couch time with her favorite humans. She gets along well with both her canine and feline foster siblings and will be a great addition to the lucky family who adopts her.

Susan Daffron talks to Chase Inman and Nicole Cook from the Martinsville-Henry County SPCA in Southwest Virginia about two dogs who are available for adoption. Tattoo is a male neutered American Staffordshire Terrier mix with huge soulful brown eyes and a pretty reddish brown coat. He has a very round face, so he might have some bulldog in there somewhere too. Tattoos best canine buddy at the SPCA is another AmStaff mix named Elvira, who has a fawn-colored coat and white markings.

These two wonderful dogs would fit in well in just about any home. The volunteer dog walkers all love these two friendly dogs -- fans and supporters range from elementary school age to retirees. Both Tattoo and Elvira are about two years old. The SPCA doesn't know too much about their history because they came into the SPCA from other facilities after being picked up as strays. If you're looking for all around great dogs who walk beautifully on leash, you won't find a nicer pair of dogs than Tattoo and Elvira!

Susan Daffron talks to Martie Petrie from Ken-Mar Rescue about a spayed female German Shepherd mix named Stevie who is available for adoption. Stevie was born in March 2010, so she's still a youngster, but she will probably be smaller than most German Shepherds at about 35 pounds when she fills out. Unfortunately, like a lot of dogs, Stevie ended up on "Death Row" because of over-capacity at the animal shelter. But Stevie beat the odds, was rescued by Ken-Mar, and has since been staying with a foster parent who is teaching her important things like housebreaking.

In addition to looking like a small shepherd, she also has a lot of the great qualities of the breed. Stevie is intelligent, agile, loyal, self-confident, and protective of her home and property. She is an active smart girl who loves to learn and is fond of training and new challenges. Stevie is enthusiastic about everything and is eager to share that enthusiasm with a special family that will embrace her as their own in her new "fur-ever" home.

Susan Daffron talks to Deb Edwards, the director of operations at the Mount Pleasant Animal Shelter in New Jersey about a Walker Hound mix named Daisy who is available for adoption. Daisy's story is somewhat sad. She was actually adopted from the shelter four years ago, but it had become difficult for her elderly owners to take Daisy for walks anymore because of health reasons. So Daisy is back at the animal shelter, hoping someone else will see what a sweet and wonderful dog she is.

At seven and a half years old, Daisy is out of the puppy/young adult active, boisterous phase. Even though she does need daily walks, once you return to the house, Daisy is ready to just curl up, snuggle, and watch some TV with you. Because she's been in a family home for years, she has nice "house manners," walks beautifully on a leash, and even knows some basic obedience commands like "sit" and "down." If you're looking for a friendly, calm adult dog to join your family, you won't find a sweeter hound than Daisy.

Susan Daffron talks to Mike Deathe from the Humane Society of Greater Kansas City about a dog named Turner who is available for adoption. Turner is a 2-year old sleek, beautiful Vizsla/Chocolate Lab mix with an expressive face and pretty light brown eyes. Mike is a trainer who has been working with Turner and other dogs at the humane society. He has taught Turner a lot of the basic commands like "sit" and "down" and some retrieval commands like "drop it." Turner has a lot of energy and loves to play, but he's eager to learn and Mike points out that after just 15 minutes of training work, Turner is like a different dog. Ideally, he'd do best in a home with an active human who likes to hike, run, or swim.

Mike says Turner could even be a great "dock dog" (i.e. a dog that competes in running and jumping off a dock into a pool). Because Turner is such a high-energy dog, sometimes he lacks canine "social skills" so although he gets along with most dogs, he doesn't get along with all dogs. If you already have a dog, the folks at the humane society can set up a "meet and greet" time for you to bring your dog to meet Turner and make sure the two dogs get along. All you fitness nuts out there: if you're looking for a great jogging buddy, consider checking out Turner. He's been at the shelter for quite a while now and is hoping his new best friend will walk through the door soon.

Susan Daffron talks to Nadia Novik from the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley in Hailey, Idaho about a two-year old German Shorthaired Pointer mix named Shake. He's a striking white dog with cute brown patches on his head and a smile that you'll fall in love with. Shake also has passed his AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test with flying colors. The CGC is a certification program that rewards dogs with good manners and includes tests on basic obedience commands like "sit" and "down."

Technically Shake is considered a "special needs" dog because he needs to have enzyme powder sprinkled on his food to help him digest it. Because Nadia thinks Shake is such a fantastic dog, she ran a marathon and raised enough money to pay for Shake's special powder for almost three years, so his adoptive parents won't have to worry about any extra financial impact when they adopt him. Shake is one of those all-around great dogs who would fit in well with almost any family. He's extremely smart, energetic, and social and gets along with other dogs, kids and pretty much everyone he meets.

Susan Daffron talks to Dusty Rainbolt about a spayed female black angora cat named Sweetie who is available for adoption from the Animal Allies of Texas. Dusty is Sweetie's foster "mom" and has already taught this smart little kitty a few tricks like how to shake hands. Sweetie is about two and a half years old and at the rescue, they refer to her as the "WalMart Greeter" because she's incredibly social and friendly with everyone.

She loves attention and is great with kids and other cats. Sweetie has striking yellow eyes that stand out against her gorgeous long black hair. She is solid black, except for a small white "heart" on her chest and white toes on her back feet. Dusty says that Sweetie is one of the smartest, nicest cats she has ever fostered. (And she has fostered quite a few kitties!) Won't you give Sweetie a chance to show you how sweet she really is?
