NFW Challenge 2013: 416 / 460 Adoptions

DJ Sloppy Kiss in the hizzooouuuuzzzze!!! Well, at least he could be a part of your house and home if you adopt him today. DJ is mixing up some fresh beats made to order especially for you. It is always a good time when this Snoop Doggy-Dog is bringing the party. He will spin some sweet tunes on your heart and make you fall in love with him forever. It does not matter if you are East Side or West Side as long as DJ Sloppy Kiss can be a part of your family!

DJ is still a puppy who has plenty of energy to spare. He is looking for a family that can take him on walks and runs. A trip to the dog park would be great too so DJ can play with other furry Friends. The energy is natural for a German Shorthair Pointer sporting breed. But as we said, being with DJ is always a ton of fun. He likes all people and dogs and just loves to be silly. DJ is housebroken and crate trained and ready to come home today. So say “yo yo yes” to DJ Sloppy Kiss!!!

To adopt DJ today, contact Love-A-Stray Rescue in Avon Lake at info@loveastraydog.com or visit http://www.loveastraydog.com/.

Whether it is Seis de Maya, Quince de Maya, or even Veinticuatro de Maya, our furry Friend is ready to celebrate the best day of her entire life – her adoption day! Everyday will be a celebration when Maya is in your life.

Maya was rescued from death row at the Cleveland Kennel by MuttleyCrue and taken to a foster home. She was always meant to be a loving pet and companion. Her foster mom has nothing but great things to say about Maya. She is working on all her commands and loves to show everyone how good she sits and gives paw. Maya is a quick learner and just wants to please people. She loves to play and even more to cuddle with anyone. Celebrate Maya day today!

“I wanna be where the people are. I wanna see, wanna see them dancin’. Walking around on those – what do they call ‘em? Oh – paws! Waggin’ your tail, you don’t get too far. People are required for fetching, playing. Being a part of a – what’s that word again? Family! When’s it my turn? Wish I could be…adopted” (Inspired by Disney’s The Little Mermaid). That is what this Ariel is thinking. She just wants to be part of your world.

Ariel was rescued from a dog pound, pregnant. Soon after, she had amazing puppies who all found their forever homes. Now, it is Ariel’s turn. She is a great canine companion. Not only is Ariel dog friendly, but she also loves people and has obedience training under her belt. She can sit, shake, roll over, and obviously pose pretty for a picture. As we said, this wonderful girl just wants to be part of your love-filled world. So, make her happily ever after come true today.

To adopt Ariel, contact Fido’s Companion Rescue in Avon at mreichlin@roadrunner.com or visit www.fidoscompanion.com.

We might have gotten a little unexpected April snow. But in this case, April SNOW showers will bring beautiful May flowers. In fact, it won’t be too long until we can make Cleveland into our own personal Margaritaville. Swim shorts, sand, and time on the lake. And, we have found a special guy who would love to make this your best summer yet. He is ready for lots of fun in the sun.

Hurley is the cutest 2-year-old, 11 pound, Pekingese-Pomeranian mix and an absolute sweetheart. He was found in an abandoned apartment. Despite the obvious negligence, Hurley remains the most wonderful, sweetest dog. He is just ready to love, love, love. Hurley gets along great with people and other dogs too. So if you have no shirt or no shoes – no problem! Hurley will be your best Friend forever and a day.

To adopt Hurley today, contact Paws with Pride in Akron at adopt@pawswithpride.org or visit http://www.pawswithpride.org/.
