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

Susan Daffron talks to Joseph Westerfield from Anjellicle Cats Rescue in New York City about a cat named Kale who is available for adoption. Anjellicle Cats is a no-kill, all-volunteer, not-for-profit rescue group that adopts cats in the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey and Connecticut). Although many Anjellicle cats are in foster care, right now, Kale is living at the "cat room" at Spoiled Brats, 340 W. 49th Street because his foster care situation became too crowded. Kale is a beautiful male, neutered black and white "tuxedo" kitty who is about 4 years old.

He doesn't get along well with other cats and would do best as the only cat in the household. Although he likes to be the feline king of the homestead, Kale does enjoy being around people. And he is particularly fond of people who are carrying kitty treats! Kale is an outgoing curious fellow who has no problem reaching out a friendly paw to let you know he'd like a bit of attention. If you're looking for a beautiful and energetic kitty to share your home, Kale is just an all-around great cat who will steal your heart!

Susan Daffron talks to Michelle Marlowe from Mighty Mutts in New York City about a dog named Woofie who is available for adoption. Although she has been in rescue for a while, it's not because of any tragic flaw. Woofie just hasn't found the perfect home yet. A few of her foster homes have had major life changes that forced them to give her up. Woofie has pretty golden fur, perky ears, and soulful eyes. She is about 11 years old and weighs around 45 pounds. Even though she has a touch of arthritis, Woofie loves going on walks. Because she's a mature dog, she is quiet much of the day and likes to get her beauty sleep. Woofie would do best in a home without other animals and can be a great apartment dog, as long as the apartment is on the first floor or there's an elevator (stairs aren't fun because of Woofie's arthritis). Ironically, despite what her name suggests, Woofie also almost never barks! This lovable girl is looking for a great home to spend her golden years. Maybe it's yours?

Susan Daffron talks to Martie Petrie from Ken-Mar Rescue in California about a male, neutered Jack Russell Terrier (JRT) mix named Boomer. In a strange twist of fate, Boomer ended up in rescue after almost being run over. He was in the middle of the street and a Good Samaritan stopped to see if he was okay. His owners were there and told the Good Samaritan, "we don't want him." Fortunately, the Good Samaritan is the trainer for Ken-Mar and she took Boomer into foster care right then and there. Boomer is a friendly cute little tan and white terrier who loves everybody.

Like most JRTs, Boomer has a lot of energy and would benefit from a structured environment where he can have daily walks and plenty of exercise to keep him both physically and mentally fit. (Terriers need something do; if you don't give them something to do, they will find something to do...and it might not be something you like!) Boomer is only about 1.5 years old and is housebroken. He'd be a fantastic agility dog because he loves to learn and loves to run. If your family is looking for an all-around great little dog with a lot of love and energy to give, check out Boomer!

Susan Daffron talks to Inge Dehenin from Rabbit Match about a spayed female Dutch rabbit named Palomara. This sweet, quiet bunny was left abandoned in the back yard when her humans moved away. Fortunately, a neighbor noticed the pretty black rabbit and called Rabbit Match. Palomara is only two years old and has a gorgeous shiny black coat, except for a little white spot on her nose and a white foot. She is litter box trained and is looking for an indoor home with a family who will give her lots of attention. At about 7 pounds, Palomara is a fairly large bunny and would do fine with kids that are older than about 6 years old, although it's important that kids and bunnies be supervised. Bunnies are fragile and they do require special care and attention. They are very social and Palomara will need exercise and playtime every day. If you're looking for an easygoing companion, Palomara might be just the bunny for you!

Susan Daffron talks to Leigha Messick from the Humane Society of Charles County in Waldorf, Maryland about a dog named Blanche who is available for adoption. Blanche is a white pit bull mix who is between 1 and 2 years old. She ended up at the Humane Society after she was hit by a car. Fortunately, the Humane Society has a fund to help provide veterinary care for injured animals, so even though Blanche had multiple pelvic fractures, the Humane Society was able to give her the help she needed.

(Although Blanche is on cage rest during her recovery, she is welcoming visitors, so please do stop by!) Blanche is a favorite of staff members at the Humane Society because of her happy, happy personality. She is one of those velcro dogs that loves to be around people. Once she's back to full canine power in about a month, Blanche will be a fantastic companion who will be thrilled to share long walks and the sofa with the members of her new family.

Susan Daffron talks to Katie Woolsey, the Public Relations Coordinator at the Escondido Humane Society in California about a dog named Zada who is available for adoption. According to Katie, if you were to ask the volunteers at the Escondido Humane Society who their favorite dogs are, Zada's name would be at the top the list. Zada is a 3 year old boxer mix with a pretty dark brindle coat and white markings. She has a fun-loving playful spirit, but also is a star at the volunteer dog training class.

In fact, Zada has a special trainer who is preparing her to take the AKC Canine Good Citizen test and everyone is sure she'll get her CGC soon. Zada walks nicely on a leash, knows sit, down, and leave it. She even will "stay" at the end of a long line and knows how to come when called reliably. Zada can be a little shy and sometimes worries when new things startle her, but her training is helping her to become confident and more outgoing. Once Zada knows you, she is an affectionate and loyal companion who will be a fantastic addition to any family.

Susan Daffron talks to Martie Petrie from KenMar Rescue in Los Angeles about a three-year old Pomeranian Mix named Rusty who is available for adoption. Weighing in at about 20 pounds, Rusty is a bit larger than most Poms, so he's probably mixed with a slightly larger breed such as a sheltie. Rusty is actually lucky to be alive. He was hit by a car, which splintered his shoulder joint. After spending three weeks at an animal shelter on painkillers in medical isolation, KenMar Rescue pulled Rusty from the shelter. Because of the damage to his shoulder, Rusty had to have surgery to remove his right front leg.

Although Rusty is now a tri-paw'd dog, he doesn't care and it hasn't affected his attitude or his ability to run and play. He doesn't care that he only has 3 legs and he gets around so well, his foster mom says he could be a great agility dog. Rusty is one of those sweet-natured dogs who just gets along with everybody --adults, kids, and other dogs are all just new friends to meet. Martie says the only thing he isn't good at is being a guard dog, since he doesn't bark. Obviously, Rusty is a lover not a fighter. His favorite thing is being a lap dog; he likes to crawl up on the sofa and snuggle with his humans.

Susan Daffron talks to Kim Reynolds from the Oregon Ferret Shelter about two ferrets that are available for adoption. Mary Kate and Ashlee are 3-year old pure white spayed female ferrets. They are roommates and love to play together so the folks at the Oregon Ferret Shelter are hoping they can be adopted to the same home. Mary Kate and Ashlee are both social, playful, and sweet. Kim calls ferrets a great "working-person's pet" because they sleep about 20 hours per day.

Although ferrets don't require a lot of care, they do need to have about an hour of playtime every day with their humans. You also should be prepared to "ferret-proof" your house because they are very curious and like to explore. Ferrets require good quality food and can be susceptible to a type of tumor, so it's a good idea to be prepared for care and veterinary expenses, just as you would for any other pet such as a dog or cat. If you want to learn more about caring for ferrets, check out the Oregon Ferret Shelter Web site, which has lots of helpful information on keeping ferrets healthy and happy.

Susan Daffron talks to Cathy Atkinson from EnchantMutts in New Mexico about a dog named Tula Rose who is available for adoption. Tula is a petite 37-pound 2-year old female Cattle Dog mix. She is a shy girl who bonds very closely with her human. (If you are that human, you will feel special; this dog is a great ego-booster!) Because Tula isn't outgoing, she will need a special someone who is patient, kind and appreciate what a wonderful dog she is after she gets to know you. Because of her Cattle Dog heritage, Tula does extremely well off-leash and loves to go hiking. She always keeps you within her sight and returns the moment you call her.

She loves the outdoors and exploring the foothills, mesas, and wide open spaces of New Mexico. Tula is housetrained and when she's not out for her walks, she enjoys being a house dog so she can hang out with her human. Tula gets along with other dogs, but time with her human is most important to her. Cathy is hoping that Tula Rose finds a home where the humans in the house involve their dog (or dogs) in their daily activities. People who don't work long hours (or at all) would be best because Tula enjoys having a reliable routine and spending time with her family.

Susan Daffron talks to Mike Fry from Animal Ark in Minnesota about a spayed female yellow Labrador retriever named Jasmine who is available for adoption. Jasmine is about 9 or 10 years old, so she's considered "mature" but she's ready for a lot more good times. Because she's an adult dog, you don't have to worry about issues like housebreaking. Jasmine is housetrained and even tells her humans when she needs to go out. She also already knows a lot of commands, including "sit," "lay," "shake," "spin," and "leave it." Like any retriever, Jasmine needs exercise, but if you can't always take long walks, you can tire her out by playing "fetch."
