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

Susan Daffron talks to Kim Nelson, the foster mom of a cat named Camden who is available from the Partnership for Animal Welfare in Maryland. Camden was one of a group of cats that were rescued from a semi-feral colony. He has completely adjusted to being an indoor cat and hanging out with people. In fact, he pretty much thinks people, his foster mom's small dog, and other cats are great and enjoys being in the middle of the household "action" wherever that might be.

Camden is extremely social and loves to roll around and purr while getting scratched and petted. He is a gorgeous soft gray color with striking tabby markings and beautiful eyes. Camden is one one of those cats that is curious about everything, so he'd do best in a home that is "cat friendly" so he doesn't get into anything he shouldn't. He is neutered, up to date with all his shots, and ready for a new loving forever home.

Susan Daffron talks to Asha Ellison from Cane's Crossing in Florida about two kitties named Danny and Eugene that are available for adoption. Cane's Crossing is a vet clinic that also rescues homeless pets. Danny and Eugene were part of a litter of 11 kittens that were left in a box on the clinic's doorstep. Although their feline siblings have been adopted, Danny and Eugene are still waiting. The pair has now been at the facility for more than seven months, so they are about a year old.

Danny is a beautiful playful outgoing solid black cat, and Eugene is a gray tabby with expressive yellow eyes. Although he is friendly, Eugene is a bit more reserved than his brother. Their personalities actually complement each other nicely. Because the two cats have grown up together, they have bonded and the folks at Cane's Crossing are hoping that they can be adopted into the same home so they can stay together.

Susan Daffron talks to Eran Albrecht, the volunteer coordinator for the Humane Society of Williamson County in Texas about a dog named Plex who is available for adoption. Plex is a 3-year old American Stafforshire pit bull mx who is white with brown spots. His ears are cropped (one ear is white and one is brown) so he looks like kind of a macho guy. However, Plex actually is a quiet sweet-natured dog who likes nothing better than playing "ball" with people. He's friendly and gets along with other dogs and kids wonderfully. When he arrived at the humane society, he was extremely underweight because of his rough time out on the streets as a stray. He has a pancreatic condition which is treatable with enzymes he eats with his food. Now that he's getting his enzymes, he's putting on weight and looking great. Plex had some tough times and is ready for his perfect forever home. Maybe it's yours!

Susan Daffron talks to Don Helfrich from Doberman Rescue of New Mexico about a 10-month-old female Doberman named Alie who is looking for a new home. She has "natural" ears and tail, which means they aren't cropped. She came to Doberman Rescue after being found as a stray with two siblings (both of whom have been adopted). Alie was extremely thin when she arrived, but thanks to lots of TLC in her foster home, she has filled out and is now a gorgeous dog with a gleaming black and tan coat. She has learned how to use the doggie door, walks well on a leash, and is housebroken.

Alie is still basically a puppy and is still in the chewing phase. Plus, Dobermans are large dogs, so Alie will need an owner who is willing to be a leader and take her to obedience classes where she can learn more socialization skills. She tends to be wary meeting other dogs, probably due to her lack of socialization earlier in her life. But after Alie has determined that other dogs are friendly, she'll happily romp and play with them. Alie loves people and Don says that like many Dobermans, she's a "leaner" that enjoys receiving affection. Since she's only 10 months old, her puppy nature comes out whenever she encounters a human who wants to play with her. This beautiful dog had a tough beginning, but will thrive in a new home with an active family who loves her.

Susan Daffron talks to Moira Monahan from the Friends of the Sacramento City Shelter Animals about a cat named Zola who is available for adoption. Zola is a beautiful spayed female short-haired black cat with big expressive yellow eyes. She came into rescue in early September 2009, when a hoarding situation arose (subsequently called the "Belinda Cats") and 140 cats were left abandoned in a home after the owners were evicted. Zola was one of those cats. Unlike many hoarding cases, the cats were in good shape and thanks to groups like the Sacramento City Shelter Animals, 131 cats have been adopted so far. Zola currently is in foster care and her foster mom says that Zola will often look at you with those big eyes as if she has something extremely important to impart to you. Although she was very shy when she was first rescued, now Zola loves to sleep at your feet, and is starting to think that a nice warm lap isn't such a bad thing either. Unlike most cats, Zola patiently waits for you to get up in the morning before she meows for attention. Although she's only 7 months old, Zola is a calm and quiet cat who doesn't have a constant need to be entertained. She is sweet, mellow kitty who gets along well with other cats. Eight other cats from the Belinda case are still available too, so you could adopt Zola and another feline friend!

Susan Daffron talks to Sandy Boulton, the Public Relations Director for the Dearborn Animal Shelter in Dearborn, Michigan about a dog named Sparkles who is available for adoption. Right now, Sparkles is in a great foster home, but is looking for her perfect forever home. She is a two-year old white pit bull mix who weighs about 40 pounds and has the most amazing ears you have ever seen. Plus, as Sandy points out, Sparkles looks like she's wearing eyeliner, so when she looks up at you, her eyes actually do sparkle (hence her name). Like most young terriers, Sparkles has a lot of energy and would do best living with a family that has time to give her the exercise she needs. (Her foster family even has a treadmill she has learned to use!) Sparkles has been crate trained and housebroken and has a happy spirit that is a joy to be around. She gets along with cats, kids, and other dogs and has attended obedience class where she learned to 'sit' and 'lay down'. Sparkles is a sweet girl who would make a great addition to your family!

Susan Daffron talks to Jo-Anne Dixon, D.V.M. from the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley about a dog named Hoss who is available for adoption. The Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley is a no-kill shelter located in Idaho near the Sun Valley ski resort. Hoss is a medium sized, neutered male border collie/heeler mix who is about 5 months old. Hoss and his brother were found as strays and brought to the animal shelter. Although Hoss' brother found a new home, Hoss is still waiting for his special someone. Although he is still a bit of a puppy, Hoss is a smart dog with a lot of energy. Both border collies and heelers are herding breeds that love to have something to do, and Hoss is no exception. Given his herding heritage, Hoss would do best in a home prepared to give him lots of time, exercise and mental stimulation. If you have ever thought about doing obedience or agility with your dog, or even just having a canine friend to go on long walks with, Hoss would be the perfect companion. With his happy energetic spirit and fun personality, Hoss will make a great addition to your family.

Susan Daffron talks to Ellen Lockwood from the Diamond Dachshund Rescue of Texas about two dogs named Kaaz and Oscar. Kaaz is available for adoption and Oscar is in permanent foster care. Although Oscar has found a home, Ellen wanted to share his story because he represents the forgiving nature of the animals you often find in rescue. His story is on the Web site and involves terrible past abuse by a prior owner, which has left him with permanent medical problems. Even after all he has been through, you can see the love in his eyes. Although Oscar has found a permanent living situation, Kaaz is still looking for a perfect forever home. Kaaz came from a terrible living situation where the other dogs actually died from mistreatment. As the sole survivor, he came into rescue with a severe case of mange, skin infections, and giardia. Although he has been enjoying life in foster care in rescue, his compromised immune system probably also resulted in a case of kidney stones, which required surgery. However, he has been treated at the vet and now has a clean bill of health. He will need to eat a special kidney to reduce the chance of this kidney problem happening again in his future, but he's ready for his new home home. Kaaz is only about 3 years old and has many years of love left to give!

Susan Daffron talks to Anke from the Tails of Hope Sanctuary in Maryland about a cat named Rudy who is available for adoption. Tails of Hope is a network of foster care providers who save animals from shelters. Rudy is one of the cats Anke has in the foster care Cattery now. A two-year old beautiful male neutered orange tabby, Rudy is probably about two years old. Although Rudy was quite shy when he first came into rescue, he's turned into quite a character. Anke says he is the only cat she's ever seen who loves to play "fetch." Rudy has a favorite blue ball and if you throw it down the stairs, he will run after it and bring it back to you. Or sometimes, he may opt run down the stairs and suggest you throw the ball to him as well. Rudy is also noted for being one of the "greeters" at the Cattery. When people come in, Rudy comes up and says "hi" hoping that you'll pet him. Ideally, Rudy would enjoy living with another cat. (In fact, he has a special feline "buddy" so if you are interested in adopting two cats, please do get in touch with Anke!) Even if he is the only cat in the household, Rudy misses having his own special human in his life who will call him his own. Maybe that person is you.

Susan Daffron talks to Martie Petrie from Ken-Mar Rescue in Southern California. The topic of the call is two small dogs named Dora and Roxy. Many people seem to think that little dogs are all alike, but as Martie points out, Dora and Roxy couldn't be more different. Dora is a high-energy year-old brown Dachshund mix who likes to be in the life of the party. She is great with people, kids, and other dogs. Although she may be small, Dora has a lot of energy and loves her walks. She would do best in a busy fun family household where she can get a lot of attention. At two years old Roxy is a bit more mature than Dora and lot more reserved. She is a mix of Yorshire and Silky Terrier with soft pretty gray fur and deep dark eyes. Roxy was found wandering the streets and the experience has caused Roxy to be a worried about new experiences. She is rediscovering the world around her and is looking for a home with a patient loving person who will take the time to help her gain confidence again.
