HOMELESS COVER MODEL
Begin your
New Year with
puppy kisses!
My name is
Alex (which
is short for
Alexandra)
and I’m an 8 to
10-month-old
Terrier mix girl.
Just take a
look at my
face. It’s so
scruffy and
adorable! Now
let me tell you
Photo: Dick Parrott
a little bit about
myself: I was once running out of time at Brunswick
County Animal Control. SOAR found me there,
took me in, and now I’m waiting at the shelter for a
new family. I am a happy, playful girl who is always
ready to make new friends. I’m also very smart and
affectionate. I can sit on command and will take
treats ever so gently from your fingers. I love to
run, skip and play and I also enjoy cuddling with
my human friends. I think everyone is my buddy.
There is just something so sweet about the way I
gaze up at you with my soft brown eyes. Won’t you
please adopt me? All you have to do is call SOAR
at 910-457-6340 and arrange a day for us to meet.
You’ll wonder how you ever lived without me! Oh,
one last thing, I’d like to thank my SOAR pals for
bringing me to the PawPrints photo shoot, and I’d
like to thank photographer Dick Parrott for taking
my lovely portrait. Happy New Year, everyone!
I’m a very handsome cat named
Track! I’ve got quite
a story to tell, too. I
was found in a parking lot by a vet tech
who just happened
to see me huddled
under a car. I was
afraid to move and,
because it was 94
degrees outside, all
four of my feet and
even my tummy
were burned from
the hot pavement. I
needed water, food
and help. Luckily, I
got all three and now I’m doing great! I’m completely
healed and I’m ready to find a wonderful new home.
I’m a 3-year-old boy who is neutered, vaccinated and
litterbox-trained. I’m good with children and friendly to
dogs and other cats. In fact, while staying temporarily
in a foster home, I came nose to nose with the family
dog and didn’t even bat an eye. I also spent time with a
10-week-old kitten and was very gentle. I’ll be a wonderful companion for some lucky person or family. If
you’d like to adopt me, please call Cat Adoption Team
at 910-792-9014 or come visit me at Petsmart in
Wilmington. You’ll be so glad you did.
I want to lay my full-grown,
luxuriously-furred 80 pounds
at your feet! I’m Annabelle,
a 4-year-old, dry mouth,
“teacup” Saint Bernard. I love
to sit next to my foster folks
(with my head in a lap) or play
with them and my housemates
in a fenced open area. I get
along very well with my roomies - a Hound mix about half
my size, another St. Bernard
(Nala, featured on page 20),
and a cat. My favorite toys
squeak, bounce funny, or drop
treats. My foster mom makes
sure I get to chew on big natural beef bones. I’m working to overcome shyness with new
people and new dogs. On my leashed walks, I love to greet
and be hugged and petted by neighborhood kids. On occasion, as a special treat, I get to run loose on a farm far from the
road. I love lumbering through the brush and swimming in the
pond. I obediently come back to a big hug and treat when
called. My favorite spot is in the house close to my people. In
my former life, I had to live penned outside, but now I’m housetrained and crate savvy. I’m spayed, have been treated for
heartworms, and vaccinated. I’d be so happy in a family with
lots of hugs and attention. If you’d like to share your life with
me, contact Cape Fear Saint Bernard Rescue at 910-547-4823
or email capefearsaintrescue@yahoo.com.

I’m Running Out of
Time!
If I look a bit sad to you, it’s because I’ve been living at Pender
County Animal Control’s animal
shelter for over two months. I’m
ready to be part of a family! My
name is Ella (CF2735) and I’m
a 2 to 3-year-old girl who was
found as a stray. They tell me
I’m a Catahoula Leopard mix sounds exotic, huh? It’s an
American dog breed, though,
and if you look us up on the
internet, it says we’re intelligent,
even-tempered, and love interacting with our families. Could
your heart and home use a sweetheart like me? I’m very good
with people and love to go for strolls in the great outdoors. I
walk well on a leash and am so happy to receive attention and
some well-deserved treats. Please give me a chance at a long
and happy life with you! Just call Pender County Animal Control
at 910-259-1349 or Officer Clewis at 910-279-3196 and they’ll
be happy to tell you how we can meet.
I am sponsored by Kathy Lanio. Thank you!
My name is
Kameron, but
you can call
me Kami for
short! I’m an
adorable male
kitten, just 16weeks-old. I
was bottlefed
as a baby, so
I’m quite
comfortable
being held and
am very used
to being
around
humans. In
fact, I really
enjoy sleeping
with my foster
mom in the bed at night. Adopt me and I’ll keep you
warm all winter! We can snuggle up and count the
days until spring. I also get along well with other cats
and am neutered, up to date on shots and litterboxtrained. Please give my SOAR foster mom a call at
910-278-7901. She’ll be happy to tell you all about
me and arrange a time for us to meet.

Hey there! Make 2011
your best year ever by
adopting me! My
name is Maverick and
I’m a 3-year-old Great
Dane mix. To say I’m
a friendly, happy boy
would be an understatement. I know
how to make friends
quickly - whether
they’re the human kind
or the doggie kind. I
used to have a home,
but my owner traveled
and had no time to
spend with me. He
wants you to know that I lived inside the house and was
never destructive - I guess that means I have good
house manners! I got along great with the 4-year-old
child who lived there and am OK with cats, too. I love to
play ball and I can’t wait to take a ride in the car. At 70
pounds, I’m a big boy, but I know how to sit on command and am already house-trained and leash-trained.
As for my health, I am neutered, vaccinated and on
heartworm prevention. What do you say - could you be
looking at your future best friend? Call the New Hanover Humane Society at 910-763-6692 and let’s find out!
Are there any Jack Russell
Terrier fans out there? My
name is Jack and I hope to find
myself in a loving home soon.
Family life is all I’ve ever known
and I don’t understand why I’m
at a shelter. You see, my human parents got divorced and
moved away. My mommy was
so upset to let me go - she
wants you to know that I’m a
great dog who got caught up in
an awful situation. She says
I’m a very calm, quiet boy who
loves to meet new people. I
enjoy sitting next to you on the
couch, fetching balls and snuggling with other dogs. I know several words and phrases,
such as: ‘Sit’, ‘Go lay down’, ‘Inside’, ‘Who’s Hungry?’,
‘Leave it alone’, and ‘Who needs to go outside?’ That’s quite
a vocabulary! She also says I’ve never, ever tried to start a
fight with another dog and I come when called by either whistling or clapping your hands. At 6-years-old, I’m housetrained, good with children, neutered, vaccinated and on
heartworm prevention. Can I move in with you? I promise to
love you with all my heart. Please call the New Hanover
Humane Society at 910-763-6692 and let’s get together!
I am sponsored by Levi Donovan.
Please consider adoption.
In memory of George, New Hanover Humane Society's
faithful canine mascot, companion and my best canine
buddy, by Turk "Turkeydog" Bradley.
Hi, I’m Annabelle.
I am a gorgeous
Shepherd mix who
is 6-years-young
and spayed. I am a
big girl (100 pounds)
with lots of love to
give! I have many
exceptional qualities. I am a great
watchdog with a
deep bark who’s
protective of my
family’s territory. I
walk well on a leash
and have been obedience-trained. I am invisible fence
trained, too! I would love to live inside again and you’ll be
pleased to know, I'm 100% house-trained! I enjoy hiking in
the woods, barking at and chasing squirrels and lounging
on the porch. You could say I like country-style living. My
requirements are simple! I need a fenced yard or invisible
fence, a strong pack leader, and a home where there are
NO other dogs or cats. Because of my extra-large size, I
would do best with older children, too. I deserve another
chance to find a great home, could it be with you? If you
are interested in adopting me, please call Amy today at
910-253-0501 to arrange a visit. Hope to see you soon!
I am sponsored by Francesca Slaughter in loving
memory of Casper and Lucy.
Sweet and Petite, that's
what my foster mom calls me.
Although, I'm more of a mom
than her! My name is Shelby.
I was used as a puppy mill dog
and when my previous owners
were done using me for that,
they dropped me off at a shelter. My first check up didn't go
all that well after a life outside
with little veterinary care. I
had three types of worms,
including heartworms. I also
had tumors all over (which is a
good reason to spay and neuter folks). Luckily, all of my
tumors came back benign!
The vet says that is good news and hopefully removing my
"estrogen source" will eliminate future tumors. Lastly, I was
underweight, but I love to eat and have had no problem
putting on the right amount of weight. I am probably between 3 to 5-years-old, and weigh around 55 pounds. I am
an excellent leash walker and am very treat motivated for
training. I would love to snuggle on your couch and I do get
along with other dogs. I am an experienced mommy, so
rowdy dogs will have to listen to me. I am so cuddly and
affectionate. I do not chew on non-toy items, which is a
definite plus to adopting a lady at my young age. I also
rarely bark, so I could probably be content in an apartment,
going on nice frequent walks. After what I've been through,
I really don't need much. Just someone who will love me
and who I can depend on. Is that you? Visit our website at
www.nobleshepherdrescue.com or call 910-431-6294.
I am sponsored by TopsailForSale.com in honor of
Carli and Max McCaffrey.

Adopt-An-ANGEL
Please call 910-392-0557 to adopt us!
◄My name is Bernie and I
am super sweet and happy.
I was found walking down the
street incredibly emaciated
when someone took me in
and helped fatten me up. I
had an old injury where I had
been hit by a car. The vet
says it is not hurting me at all.
It does make me limp, but I
can get around fine. I am
neutered, vaccinated and
heartworm negative. I am
house-trained, and get along with cats, dogs and kids, too.
Will you please adopt a dog with special needs?
Special thanks to the Fur Ball Committee
for allowing Adopt-an-ANGEL to be a part of
the Wilmington Fur Ball.
And thank you to everyone who came to support us!
◄My name is Speckle and
I’m everything you could ever
want in a kitty! I’m cute, I’m
loving, I make biscuits, I’m a
purr machine, I like to be held
and I’m good with kids, dogs
and other cats. I even let a
litter of kittens smack me on
the forehead and on my back
as I walked by their cage.
And when I make biscuits, I
can make them anywhere…
on the floor, in the air, on
you. Yummy! I love to be
petted and will even rub
around your ankles. I’m just
8-months-old and was surrendered by my family because
they were moving. Would you give me a second chance?
►I am a super friendly
and goofy guy! That's
why they named me
Squiggy. I get along
great with other pets,
people, kids - you name
it. I am a well rounded
guy. I spent a couple of
months at Animal Control, but hey, no biggie. I
like my foster home and
love to stretch out and
roll around on the soft carpet. I would love to snuggle in
bed with you and some cozy blankets. I am neutered, up
to date on my shots and a lot of fun to be around. I am
litter-trained, too.
◄I’m Mowgli - just like
the little boy in Jungle
Book. I got this name
because I was an owner
turn in...and no one
wanted me once I was
in the shelter. Kinda
like the boy! (His mom
gave him to the wolf
pack, and then the wolf
pack sent him away to
the man village when
they didn't want him
anymore). Not to mention the boy is fun and
young like me. I am
around 9-months-old
and a complete love
bug! I love to sit right
next to you while you
pet me. I can get excited sometimes, just like any puppy,
but I already know “sit” and “no”. I love dogs and playing
with them and the kitties are ok, too. (Mom says I get a little
rambunctious around them, but I wont hurt them). I am
a great boy in need of a wonderful home. I can get scared
when people yell - someone used to hit me so I cower to the
ground, but I mean well I promise! Now that I am with
Adopt-An-ANGEL, I know no one will hit me ever again - but
this is still going to take some getting used to. I might want
a quiet home for a bit. Good news is I am young and will
learn very quickly the right way to be treated. I am good in
the bath and I ride well in the car. I am also getting better
on the leash. Won’t you please adopt me and give me the
forever home I deserve? Call Adopt-An-ANGEL today!
Check out our BRAND new website at www.adoptanangel.net!
►My name is Spike
and they are not sure
of my breed. However, I am a handsome boy with grey,
tan and black markings. I would make a
good companion for
some human out
there! I don't pull on
the leash or act crazy
at all. I have a moderate energy level. I
am neutered, up to
date on my shots,
and heartworm negative. I am cratetrained, too. I can't believe I ran out of time at a local Animal Control, but I did. Please don't let me languish in
homelessness anymore.

URGENT,
URGENT!!
I’m Running Out
of Time!!
It’s hard being at Animal Control, but it’s
especially hard for
dogs like me. We
once had families and
know what it feels like
to be loved - now all I
know is the feeling of
being abandoned.
Could you restore my
life to the happy one it
once was? My name
is Misty (CF3021) and I’m a black Lab mix with a wavy
coat of hair. I’m such a pretty girl and I am always smiling despite my sad circumstances. I was so excited to
come out of my kennel for my photo, and I sat down on
command as soon as they asked me. I’m already
spayed, so my new family won’t have to worry about
that expense. I’m good on a leash, I listen well and I
enjoy dog cookies. I’ve been living here since October
and I need to find a home soon! They have so many
dogs and not enough room for us all. Would you
please come visit? You’ll get a warm reception, I promise! Call Pender County Animal Control at 910-2591349 or Officer Clewis at 910-279-3196 for directions or
more information.
I am sponsored by Kathy Lanio. Thank you!
URGENT, URGENT!
This Is My Last Time in
the Magazine!
This is my fourth appearance in
the magazine and it looks to be
my last if I’m not adopted. There
are just too many dogs coming
into the shelter and not enough
room for us all. Won’t you
please consider adopting me? A
Good Samaritan has agreed to
pay for my neutering, vaccinations and heartworm test, so my
new family won’t even have to
consider that expense. I’m a
beautiful boy with lots of love to give. My name is Midnight
(CM2579) and I’ve been at the shelter since June of 2010. I
watch the visitors as they come and go but, for some reason,
no one seems to notice me. It’s quite a mystery as I have soft
brown eyes, glossy ebony fur and a friendly, loveable personality. I’m a young Black Lab mix, probably 2 to 3 years of age,
and I was found as a stray in Pender County. I’m an affectionate boy who is happy to make friends with everyone and I have
a playful attitude toward life. I would love to become part of a
loving family, play in the fenced-in yard, and cuddle on the
couch or rug with you. Could you make my dream come true?
Please call Pender County Animal Control at 910-259-1349 or
Officer Clewis at 910-279-3196. You’ll find me here, waiting to
hear your voice outside my kennel door.
I am sponsored by the Keffer family: Dixie, Luke, Kira,
Nikki and Charly. Thank you!

◄I’m a puppy girl who will
have you smiling and giggling
as soon as you take me into
the playroom! I’m full of love
and life and am so happy to
meet new people. My name
is Bailey (A035118) and I
was found as a stray by a
nice family. I was wearing a
pink collar but no one has
ever claimed me. I’m an
8-month-old Shepherd mix
who is already vaccinated. I
love treats and I love to be
rubbed. Let’s go home, ok?
◄Black Labs are superb
family dogs! I should
know because I’m one of
them. Hi there, my name
is Summer (A035124)
and I’m a 2-year-old girl
who was found as a
stray. I’m so friendly and
happy. I welcome everyone who comes up to me,
whether I know them or
not. I can sit on command and I sure do love
laying down at your feet
so that you can give me
belly rubs. Adopt me!
►Hello, friends.
My name is Frasier
(A035586) and I’m an
8-month-old Walker
Hound mix. If my soft
brown eyes could
talk, they’d say, “I’m
lonely here. Please
take me home!” I
have a very gentle
spirit that melts
hearts. Take me into
the playroom and
watch my tail - it
never stops wagging.
Sometimes it wags so
hard that my entire
body from the waist
down is wiggling! I
was found as a stray and am a bit bewildered by shelter
life, but it’s obvious that I want attention and love so desperately. I enjoy eating treats and will do the puppy playbow to show you how happy and excited I am by your
attention. Come on out to the shelter and get to know me!
◄I’m a baby girl kitten
named Broadway
(A036480). If I was a star
on Broadway, and you were
sitting in the audience, I’d
sing these lyrics from A
Chorus Line to you: “One
smile and suddenly nobody
else will do; You know
you'll never be lonely with
you...know...who!” You
see, that song is about me!
You’ll never be lonely again
if you adopt me. I’m a very
affectionate girl, just 4months-old. I love to be
picked up and held in your
arms. Kids would love me. YOU would love me!
►Start the New Year
with a new best friend!
My name is Clarice
(A035067) and I would
be very happy to make
2011 your best year
ever! You see, I’m a
very affectionate and
friendly girl. You’ll feel
like the most loved
person in the world with
me around. And just
look how pretty I am wouldn’t it be nice to
wake up to this face
every morning? I’m a 1year-old Tabby who was
found on Oak Island as as stray. Please hurry on over!
429 Greenswamp Road Supply, NC 28462
◄Looking for a
young, happy boy
to make your life
complete? Your
search is over! My
name is Dasher
(A035609) and I’m a
1-year-old Lab mix
who is friendly to all
the folks I meet. I
walk well on a leash
and have a quiet,
playful personality.
The ladies here say
they’ve never even
heard me bark! I
love to nibble on
treats from your
fingers and will lean
against you for shoulder and neck rubs. Let’s go!

Save lives…please spay or neuter your pets!
I’ve only been at the
shelter for one hour, so
I’m a little perplexed.
You see, my name is
Molly and I once lived in
a home with a daddy
who loved me. He recently had a stroke so
now I’m looking for
a new family. I’m a
3-year-old Cocker Spaniel who is very loving
and affectionate. I am
happy to meet new people and am not a bit shy.
I get along well with
other dogs, too. In fact,
my best buddy, Peanut,
is at the shelter with me. He’s a Dachshund and can be
seen on page 35. I am already spayed and house-trained
and would be a great family dog for a household of kids, or
a household with just adults. I’d be great for anyone! If
you’d like to meet me in person, please call Pender County
Humane Society at 910-259-7022 and let’s become friends!
I’m a
Russian
Blue who
lost my
right eye to
an injury
when I was
a baby, but
don’t
worry, it
doesn’t
bother me
at all. I
play, skip,
hop and melt hearts just like any other kitten! My name is
Misty and I’m a 7 pound girl, just 5 to 6-months-old. I was
in a foster home for a while, and they said I love to lay in
laps and watch TV with my human friends. I also love to
play! I get along great with dogs and other cats and am
already spayed, vaccinated and litterbox-trained. Please
don’t miss the opportunity to share your life with a
wonderful girl like me. For driving directions, or more
information, call Pender County Humane Society at 910259-7022. I’ll be waiting to entertain you in the playroom!

My name is Irwin, and I
am named after Steve
Irwin, another Aussie
gentleman. My perfect
home would be with
someone who is familiar with Blue Heelers. I
am completely true to
my breed. I herd, I nip
and I feel everything
with my mouth. I am
energetic and super
smart! I already know
sit, down and give me
paw. I am very trainable and food motivated. Use it to your advantage. I am excellent with other
dogs and I completely submit to them. I am learning not to
jump or pull on the lead and would benefit from someone
who is authoritative. I walk all over wimpy people - I am
just too smart for them. I love to chew but just give me a
chew toy and it can entertain me some. A fenced yard
and another dog would be beneficial for me. I must be
exercised, stimulated, and would love a job to do. If you
don't, I will be bored and will probably get into some trouble. I am gorgeous - just check out these markings! I am
neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative and housetrained. If you would like to know more about me or
would like to inquire about the adoption process, please
call Adopt-An-ANGEL at 910-392-0557.
Hi there, my name
is Uno! I was found
running down a
busy street in Burgaw. A kind couple
came to my rescue
and now I’m waiting
for a permanent,
loving home. I’m a
female American
Staffordshire Terrier
mix, just 3-yearsold. My personality
could best be described as friendly
and fun-loving. I
am spayed, vaccinated, housetrained and leashtrained. I love to be
petted and enjoy playing tug-of-war with my rope toys.
Pender County Humane Society wants me to go to the
best home possible, so you must be experienced with handling my breed. A fenced-in yard is also a necessity. I’m
not a big fan of cats, but I play just fine with other dogs as
long as I’m introduced slowly. Since I’m a playful, active
girl, I would do best in a home with adults-only or older
children, not tiny ones. If you think we could be a match,
please call the shelter at 910-259-7022. I’ll get my rope
toy ready for your visit!

Love Connection
Where Is She Now?
Jellybean, re-named Jillie,
featured in June 2010
Despondent over the theft
of Billie, her rescued Maltese mix puppy, Christine
Pfohl was making yet another trip to New Hanover
County Animal Control in
the hope that Billie might
have been found. When an
attendant asked if she had
tried calling PawPrints
Magazine, Christine picked
up the latest issue. There,
on page 33, was Jellybean.
The scruffy face, so much
like Billie’s, tugged at her heart. She soon found herself
on a new search, one which led to Pender County Animal
Control. Although not yet ready to give up the search for
Billie, she was more than prepared to rescue another deserving soul. Here, Christine describes her first meeting
with Jellybean (destined to become ‘Jillie’ in honor of Billie) and what life has been like for them (and Billie!) since:
“I recognized Jillie from her photo right away. She was
in a kennel outside near the
road, just barking her head off.
In fact, she had
grown
quite
hoarse. I spent
a long time
walking her and
sitting
alone
with her there.
She had a calm
Jellybean, re-named Jillie, enjoys
demeanor, and
snuggling with mom Christine Pfohl.
was actually not
a barker at all once she was away from the other dogs.
I knew I would keep her during the drive home. She
lay quietly in the back seat, and every now and then would
nudge me. At the house, she snooped all over and followed me around. She let me groom her and enjoyed cuddling. From the beginning, she was good around people.
That very first night, she crawled under the bed and slept
there. She really likes enclosed spaces, such as under
chairs and tables, so she was very easy to crate-train.
Share Your Story With Us!
Now, however, she sleeps on the bed!
In July, we stayed a week in a pet-welcoming cabin
above Asheville. My veterinarian daughter brought along
her big Shepherd from Santa Monica, and the two dogs
became Mutt and Jeff buddies. The cabin was secluded,
with lots of wildlife around. Jillie couldn’t wait to go for
walks, because of all the butterflies and deer smells. One
night I was taking the ‘girls’ out one last time before bed it was quite dark out there! - and two fawns went galloping
past within inches of the front porch. Suddenly, these two
lost all bravado, tucked their tails, and raced back into the
cabin.
Four months after I got Jillie, my little stolen Billie was
returned to me by a Good Samaritan. It was truly a dream
come true. I then had to rename Billie because the two
names were so similar that it confused Jillie. So now I
have a Jillie and a Hunter.
Jillie took charge of her ‘little sister’, Hunter, and
taught her all about playing, patrolling the yard, hunting
for toads, riding in the car. The two are inseparable, and
they follow right at my heels wherever I go. Almost every
morning, they take each and every one of their toys, one by
one, out of the basket and into the yard. I never tire of
watching their antics, or of snuggling and petting them.
These two have become best buddies, and I love them so
much. People are always asking me where I got such adorable little dogs. I tell them, ‘From Animal Control!
They’re rescues.’”
Christine and Jillie smile for the camera while vacationing
in the North Carolina mountains.
If you’ve adopted your companion animal after seeing him or
her in PawPrints, please call 910-264-3647 and let us know.
CAT: Cat Adoption Team
We’re at Petsmart 7 days a week.
◄Hi! I’m Marianne and
I’m an 8-month-old female
Tabby. I was rescued from
Animal Control with my five
babies. They’ve all found
homes and I’m ready to be
part of a loving family, too.
I am sweet and gentle, and
just a little bit shy when you
first meet me. Don’t worry,
I warm up quickly and am
always happy to get a nice
back rub. I am friendly to
other cats, spayed, up to
date on vaccinations and
litterbox-trained. Adopt me!
◄I’m a Manx! Know what
that means? It means that I
have no tail, just a little
nubbin. It makes me look
like a bunny, so that’s how I
got my name, Rabbit. I also
have long, silky, black fur so
I’m quite a stunner! I’m a
neutered boy who gets along
great with kids and other
cats. I am quiet, gentle
and love to be cuddled and
rubbed. I’m also vaccinated
and litterbox-trained. Take
this bunny home with you!
►Hello there, my name is
Birdie! I’m a young girl,
just 14-weeks-old, and I
was found as a stray by a
very nice family. They
kept me safe until Cat
Adoption Team could take
me in. I got along great
with the little girl in the
family and really enjoyed
laying in her arms, just
like a baby doll. I have a
calm demeanor and will
cuddle with you forever
and a day, if you’ll let me.
I have beautiful orange
and white fur and am
already spayed, vaccinated and litterbox trained. Please
hurry to Petsmart and meet me. I’m ready to get my New
Year off to a wonderful start with someone like you!
◄Look how adorable
I am! Just think, you
could be playing with
me in your home very
soon. All you have to
do is come meet me
and fall in love! I’m a
very sweet girl named
Jerri-Lynn, and I have
been waiting for a loving
home for quite a while.
I’m playful, friendly and
affectionate - it’s a true
mystery why I haven’t
been snatched up! At
9-months-old, I get
along well with children,
dogs and other cats.
I’m also spayed, up to
date on shots and litterbox-trained. You’ll love me!

►I’m a precious kitten
named Maria, and I’m just
12-weeks-old. My mama,
Julia, is pictured below
me. We were rescued
from a shelter where we
were running out of time. I
was the runt of the litter
but I’ve blossomed into a
pretty girl with a smokey
Tuxedo coat. I love to
play, but can be a bit shy
when I first meet you. I’ll
need a loving home with a
patient family. Oh, I’m
great with other cats!
◄Hi there! My name is
Julia and I’m a beautiful
dilute Calico girl who was
rescued with my baby Maria
(pictured above) from a
shelter where we had run out
of time. I love to be held and
petted and I get along well
with other kitties and human
children. I also have a
playful streak and am a low
maintenance girl. Like my
daughter, I’m spayed,
vaccinated and great in the
litterbox. Let me be yours!

Cat Tails
►Calico
kitties are
always the
first ones to
be adopted
so why am I
still here?
As you can
see, I am a
beautiful
pastel Calico. My name is Shana and I am 1½-years-old.
I am the only girl in a room of rowdy boys and let me tell
you, they don’t get over on me. I am very sweet, as every
girl should be, and l love attention, just like every girl. If
you take me home I will snuggle with you forever!
▲Oh Poppycock! That’s what all the other kitties say to
me! With a name like Poppy you better be cute, and
well I must say - I am. I’m a lovely white kitty with gray
spots on my head. Everyone wants a white cat so why
am I still here looking for a home? I am still a youngster
at just a year and a half, and very friendly as well.
▲Well, my name, Lady Gaga implies that I must be outlandish. Just take a look! I am the most unusual Calico you
have ever seen. My face is orange surrounded by black
and white. I am about 18-months old and finally rid of all
those babies. You see, not only did I take care of my own,
but I took care of seven others who lost their mom.
Whew, what a job.
▲Look into my beautiful blue eyes and let me mesmerize
you. My name is BeBe and I am an 18-month-old Siamese
mix. I’ve had a tough life already being dumped at a car
dealership. Someone found me and took me home. I love
playing with other kitties and get along great with puppies
as well. Because of being abandoned, I am still getting
used to being picked up and held. However, I love to come
lay beside you and will purrrrrrrr forever. Won’t you please
think about me when you want someone new in your life?
►For all you race car
fans, I am the cat for
you. My name is
Full Throttle and as
you might guess, I am
“wide open”. I am a
1-year-old boy who is
definitely in the teenager stage. One of my
favorite past-times is to
perch on your shoulder and go for a ride. So if you want me
to watch Dale Earnhardt Jr. with you - I would be happy to.
Cars going around in circles are entertaining to watch!
▲We are actually much prettier than the flowers we’re
named after, Buttercup and Tulip. We were adopted earlier in the spring when flowers were in bloom. Then our
owner moved away and didn’t want us. Who could give up
their cats? I just don’t understand. We would love to stay
together but it isn’t mandatory. So if you want a little
springtime in your house this winter, come adopt two beautiful 1-year old cats with flower names. P.S. You can
change our names, we’re not crazy about them either!
6622 Beach Drive SW, Ocean Isle Beach, NC 28469
“Wow!” is usually
the word I hear
when people first
meet me. My
name is Bernice
(CF3112) and I’m
a large, gorgeous
girl, possibly mixed
with Saint Bernard,
Collie or Shepherd. I have a
gentle and loving
spirit and would be
a perfect companion for a family
with children, or
even a household
with just adults.
Anyone would be
so lucky to adopt
me! At a young 3 to 4-years-old, I was found walking by
the side of the road in Burgaw. No one has claimed me,
so I can be all yours! I walk well on a leash, am friendly
to all the people I meet and sure do enjoy getting massages on my thick, luxurious coat. I can jump small
fences, so a privacy fence will be perfect for me. If you’d
like to live life with a show-stopping sweetheart by your
side, please call Pender County Animal Control at 910259-1349 or Officer Clewis at 910-279-3196. Prepare to
fall in love when we meet!
If you
have ever
wanted to
meet a true
lady, here’s
your
chance!
I’m Jetta, a
petite 12
pound,
4-year-old
miniSchnauzer
who has
experienced horrendous pain and still managed to remain a
lady through it all. Schnauzer Rescue of the Carolinas figures I had suffered from bladder stones for some time with
no relief. I went through my surgery to remove the sturvite
stones. Even while I was passing bladder stones, I tried
desperately to not have any accidents in the house. I get
along very well with other dogs and am ambivalent towards
cats. I deserve a wonderful home that will shower me with
love and attention! My diet should consist of Hills KD
canned/dry food to keep me from getting those painful
stones again. If you are interested in me and would like to
find out more, visit www.schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org.
There you can fill out an application online and view other
adoptable rescues. If you need an application mailed or
faxed to you, please call 910-264-8300 to have an
application sent.

◄My name is Calypso
(A248789). I’m a Calico
Tabby and a purr machine. My owner could no
longer keep me so I was
surrendered to the shelter.
I’m a very loving girl who
loves neck and chin
scratches and being held.
I’m good with cats, even
pesky kittens. I was laying
on the floor in front of a
kitten cage and two kittens
were doing their best to
annoy me...but I just laid
there. Adopt me!
►My name is Oreo
(A248563) and I was
given as a gift about 1month ago. Now, here I
sit alone in a cage at the
shelter. That tells you
how good of an idea giving pets as presents is,
doesn’t it? I’m 10months-old, very loving
and already spayed. I’m
an affectionate girl who
enjoys being touched
and has become an expert snuggler. My favorite toys are ones with
feathers and they make me act silly. Please consider
making me part of your family.
►Talk about lucky! I was
found as a stray running loose
near Independence Boulevard
and Oleander Drive. It’s a
miracle that I didn’t get hit by
a car. My name is Sugar Ray
(A248558) and I’m a Boxer
mix who is sweeter than
sugar! I know how to sit and
lay down on command, I’m
good on a leash, I’m social
and fun and I’m ready to bring
joy to your life. I’m only about
1-year-old so we’ll have
plenty of time to make each
other feel special.
►Who doesn't need a little
buddy to make them feel
loved? My name is
Little Buddy (A248791) and
I’m here to make you feel
loved - and to make you
laugh. I was brought to the
shelter and surrendered by my
owner because they could no
longer keep me. I’m a 1-yearold boy who is handsome and
charming. I’m a really nice
guy who loves to be held.
Even though I’m pretty laidback, I also love to play and
explore. Won’t you please
come out to the shelter and
save me? I promise to be a great companion.
◄There is a fabulously
charming pooch just waiting
at Animal Control for you to
adopt him...and it’s me!! My
name is Jackman
(A248027) and I’m a Jack
Russell Terrier and Corgi
mix. I know how to sit, lay
down and shake hands on
command. I am both food
and praise motivated. I’m
also as smart as a whip and
eager to please so teaching
me new things will be a
breeze. I was picked up by
Animal Control as a stray
and had been running loose for several days. I was hoping to find my owners but I was unsuccessful. I’m a really
great dog who’s just looking for a really great person to
cherish. I seriously think that could be you!
►Even though you can’t tell
by my picture, I’m so saddened by the fact my family
surrendered me. They said
it was because of the new
twins. I’m excellent with kids
and was excited at the prospect of our family growing by
two but unfortunately, that
meant no one had time to
spend with me. So alone I
sat in the backyard with
nothing to do and no one to
love. I did the only thing that
came natural...I dug some
holes. I’m accepting the
change in my life and am ready for a new start. My name is
Hogan (A248404) and I’m a 1-year-old petite Lab mix who
is house-trained and good with kids and dogs. Would you
let me love your family?

URGENT, URGENT!!
This Will Be My Last Time in the Magazine!
I want to lay my full-grown,
luxuriously-furred 80
pounds at your feet! I’m
Nala, a 3-year-old, dry
mouth, “teacup” Saint Bernard. I love to sit next to my
foster folks (with my head in
a lap) or play with them and
my housemates in a fenced
open area. I get along very
well with my roomies - a
Hound mix about half my
size, another St. Bernard
(Annabelle, featured on page 3), and a cat. My favorite
toys squeak, bounce funny, or drop treats. My foster mom
makes sure I get to chew on big natural beef bones. I’m
comfortable meeting new people and new dogs, especially if we can take a little walk together. On my leashed
walks, I love to greet and be hugged and petted by
neighborhood kids. On occasion, as a special treat, I get
to run loose on a farm far from the road. I love lumbering
through the brush and swimming in the pond. I obediently
come back to a big hug and treat when called. My favorite
spot is in the house close to my people. In my former life,
I had to live penned outside, but now I’m house-trained
and crate savvy. I’m spayed, have been treated for heartworms, and vaccinated. I’d be so happy in a family with
lots of hugs and attention. If you’d like to share your life
with me, contact Cape Fear Saint Bernard Rescue at 910547-4823 or email capefearsaintrescue@yahoo.com.
What’s going
on? I just know
there have got
to be folks out
there who love
cuddly,
kissable,
orange
Tabbies! I’ve
been featured
in the magazine
month after
month, and my
friends at Animal Control are trying desperately to help find
me a family. They know what a gem I am. They even
have me in a cat cage in the lobby so that folks can see
me when they first walk in! Doesn’t someone out there
want to kiss my chubby cheeks and take me home? My
name is Citrus (FM2225) and I’m a young boy who has
been living at the shelter since June 15. It’s just bizarre
that I’ve been overlooked! I was born to be by someone’s
side, or on their lap, or in their arms. I’m not picky! I do
have good news: a reader paid for my neutering. It’s all
done and my new family won’t even have to think about it.
If you’d like to be the lucky one who takes me home,
please call Pender County Animal Control at 910-2591349 or Officer Clewis at 910-279-3196. Officer Clewis
can tell you all about me and give you driving directions.

I'm Beatrice and I'm
still looking for my forever home. The last
six months have been
eventful for me. First, I
was dropped off at Animal Control (I'm still not
sure why). Then after I
was rescued, I was
diagnosed with heartworms. I went through
the treatment with no
problems and have
been a foster ever
since. You might think
that I'm sad, but I'm not.
I'm such a happy girl,
always eager to meet
someone new. I'm
good with kids and I get
along with other dogs, although I like to be in charge.
They think I'm about 5-years-old, a Retriever and Shepherd mix. I'm up to date on my shots and neutered and
I'm ready for my new home! Please call Pet Friends of
Duplin County at 910-271-3101 and we'll get together.
I am sponsored by Pet Friends of Duplin County.
Here I am,
relaxing on

hope to soon
be relaxing in
my permanent home
with my forever family!
My name is
Zoe and I’m

and I really enjoy going for walks. I am so happy to receive
attention from my humans and I love to be petted. I’m also
spayed, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention. I’m the

◄Hello! My name
is Bella Maria and
I’m a 2-year-old
Walker Hound girl.
I hope my photo,
which was taken in
my foster home,
shows you what an
excellent friend I
would be. I have
terrific house
manners and want
nothing more than
to cuddle with you and please you. I’m a petite girl, just 31
pounds, and I get along very well with the six other dogs living
with me. I’m also spayed, up to date on vaccinations and on
heartworm prevention. Call Paw’s Place today and let’s meet!
►I might be nothin' but a
hound dog, but I sure am
proud! My name is Beau
and I was part of a litter
of twelve puppies that
was adopted out four
years ago. Sadly, my
owner became very ill
and could no longer keep
me. The good news is
that I have perfect house
manners and am very
well behaved! I walk
nicely on a leash, am
house-trained, can sit for
a cookie, and I get along
well with other dogs and
human children. I am
even used to sleeping in bed with my family, if it’s allowed.
Please give me a home where I can be loved and adored!
►My name is
Sugar Pie and I’m a
3-year-old Redbone/
Bloodhound mix girl. I
have floppy ears as soft
as butter and I also have
the most kissable mouth.
In fact, I’m kissin’ people
all the time because I’m
extremely friendly and
affectionate. I enjoy
playing and being with
people. I love other
dogs, too. I really want
to be part of a family.
Would you let me be
your new baby girl?
I’ve been at Paw’s Place for such a long time!
(Call for a pre-adoption application and adoption fee info.)
◄Hello, animal lovers!
I’m a people lover so
we’d make quite a
match. I’m Freddie, a
3-year-old house-trained
boy with the friendliest,
most loving disposition.
I enjoy being with humans and will sit on command for some yummy
treats. I also enjoy getting belly rubs and hugs.
I’m not a big boy at 40 to
45 pounds. I guess you
could say I’m just right,
not too large or small.
I’m also a Redtick Hound
mix. If you want to live a
happy life with a happy boy, plan on adopting me!
►My name is Luna and I’m a
3-year-old Terrier mix who is
extremely laid-back and easygoing. You’ll find that I’m a
darling, awesome girl who
has NO issues. I’m already
house-trained, leash-trained,
spayed, vaccinated and on
heartworm prevention. I
adore other dogs and I love
people, especially kids. I
behave beautifully at adoption
fairs and am instant friends
with everyone who approaches. I love giving and receiving hugs and am always
happy to be by your side. I was featured on the PawPrints
cover in October 2010. Adopt your very own cover girl!
►Hi, my name is
Peaches. You can’t tell
by my smiling face, but my
earlier life was a sad one.
I was kept outside and
gave birth to litters of puppies. But all that has
changed! I’m spayed and
looking forward to living
inside with my new family.
I am already house-trained
and I get along great with
other dogs. I’m a friendly
and loving 8-year-old
Golden Retriever mix. All I want is TLC and a nice place
to live with a family who adores me. I’m also vaccinated
and on heartworm prevention. I’m not asking for much,
just kindness and affection. I’ll give it right back in return!

My name is
Ellie and I
am a fun,
playful, energetic girl who
would do best
in a home
with a fenced
in yard. I am
spayed, up to
date on my
vaccinations
and heartworm negative. I do
great with
other dogs. I was adopted as a puppy and returned by my
family because they felt that they couldn't meet my needs.
What I need right now is a new family. It's very sad for me
to be stuck in a cage at a boarding facility. Please don't let
me be homeless for six months, like some of these other
guys I am looking at! HOW SAD! I would benefit from a
fenced in yard or even if you had a lonely, lazy dog who
needs some exercise. If you would like to know more
about me or would like to inquire about the adoption process, please call Adopt-An-ANGEL at 910-392-0557.

Howdy
folks! My
name is
Howie
and I’m a
super
special
doggy
with
special
needs.
As a very
young
puppy, I
suffered a
serious
back injury and
because of it, I’m unable to walk. I can stand up and I do
hope to walk again one day. I’ve been going to Eastern
Carolina Veterinary Referral for physical therapy every
day. My friends at Capeside Animal Hospital also got me a
nice set of wheels so I can get around quite a bit. I love
playing fetch and I like swimming. In fact, I can move my
back legs when I’m in the pool! I am 1-year-old, neutered,
heartworm negative, current on all of my vaccinations and
good with kids and other dogs. I love people and would
love for you to give me a forever home so that I can be part
of your family. Come see me and you will be amazed at
how playful and energetic I can be. Just wait until you see
how fast I can move with my set of wheels! If you could
love a smart, happy and loving Border Collie mix boy with
a heart of gold, I hope you’ll consider me. I’m a really good
dog. Please call Furever Friends Animal Rescue at 910383-2100 (Monday through Friday between 8am-6pm).

How is it that an
adorable pup like
me sits alone in
a shelter? My
name is Bear
and I’m a 3½month-old Lab/
Shepherd mix
boy with a cuddly
and loveable
personality. You
might remember
that my brother,
Bandit, was featured on the December cover of
PawPrints. I
also came to the
photo shoot and
had my photo taken. I was a perfect angel, even sitting under hot lights and meeting new people. They had me sit in
various poses (some next to a kitten!) and I never made a
peep. I was just happy to get all the attention! I get along
great with other animals and am already neutered and vaccinated. If you come visit me at the shelter, I promise you’ll
fall in love with my adorable ways. You can watch me play,
cuddle me, and take me for a walk. I’ll show you why I’m
the one you’ve been waiting for! Please call Pender County
Humane Society at 910-259-7022 and let’s get started.

Hello! I’m Duke
(A035677), a
well-trained,
gorgeous, male
Border Collie
who would be a
fantastic companion for any
lucky person or
family! I’m already housetrained and neutered, so you
can mark those
two requirements off the
list. I listen well
and will sit and
shake on command. I just
love to receive
treats and praise when I do things like that! I’m friendly
to all I meet and have a luxurious black and white coat.
My legs are white and speckled with black fur, so I must
say I’m quite a handsome boy. I once was part of a family, so I’m a bit sad at being here. Like most Border Collies, I enjoy having a family to take care of - it makes me
feel like I’ve got a job to do! If you have room in your
heart for me, please call Brunswick County Animal Control at 910-754-8204 and tell them you’re on your way!

Can you hear me
purring? My name is
Rosie and I’m an extremely affectionate cat
who is looking for a good
home. I was brought to
Pender County Humane
Society by a nice lady
who had been feeding
me when I was a stray
hanging out by a storage
unit. I get along great
with the other kitties at
the shelter and I love
getting attention from
humans! I'm spayed,
current on vaccinations,
litterbox-trained and 1-year-old. I’d be so grateful to have
a furever home! Come to the shelter and get to know me.
It’s a cage-less environment, so you can play with me and
watch me interact with the other kitties and all the toys that
are laying around. If you’d like to get things started,
please call Pender County Humane Society at
910-259-7022 and tell them you’re on your way!

Hello there, my
name is Nesbitt
but my foster
Momma calls me
Nezzie. I finally
got rid of those
nasty heartworms, so I am
ready to be
adopted. I am a
very handsome
boy who’s 3years-old. In my opinion my pictures don't do me justice. I
am tri-colored and have wonderful freckles, and nice long
ears. I am a very fun, playful boy. I love to be the center
of attention, and be the first one to be petted. I am a great
wrestler - just ask my foster dad, he gets on the floor and
plays with me and my foster brother. I am very sweet and
love to cuddle while giving you some sloppy kisses. I am
also a great shadow. I follow my foster Momma around
everywhere, I even lay outside the bathroom door and wait
on her. One thing I need to work on - my food is mine and
whatever falls on the floor is mine. I’m trying to learn that I
will always have food and I don't need to fight for it. I have
made lots of progress, but it is recommended that I go to a
home that doesn't have young kids - although I love kids,
it's just for the best. I do get along with my foster siblings,
but when it's chow time I am not willing to share, so I eat in
my own space. If you are willing to love me unconditionally, even with my minor faults, I promise to be a loyal
Hound to you. So whataya say? I'll have my bags packed
in a jiffy! To make me a member of your family, please call
919-708-4247 or visit our website at www.cbhr.com.
NOW OPEN - 9am to 4pm on Saturdays!
My name is Ricky
Bobby and I am a
1-year-old, male Great
Dane mix. I am full of
energy and will keep you
on your toes. I am still
learning how to interact
with humans so sometimes I take a little while
to warm up to new people. I am doing very well
with the other dogs in my
foster family. I am also
good with cats. I sometimes forget what the
proper etiquette of the
household is so I have to
be reminded of the rules
often. I love to eat and I will try to eat out of everyone's
bowl, too! My foster family says I am still learning that I'm
a big boy when interacting with people and dogs and my
enthusiasm sometimes gets the best of me. I get excited
playing and forget that not jumping on people is one of the
house rules. I hope to make someone a great and loyal
dog, but I just need an owner who will continue to create
boundaries for me. I really want to please my foster parents and am trying very hard to learn what rules are and
why they should be followed. My family tells me what a
sweet boy I am and how quickly I learn from them, including the Great Dane in my family. For more info about me
or to give me a forever home, please contact the NC Chapter Mid-Atlantic Great Dane Rescue League by calling Terri
at 252-566-8934 or visiting www.magdrl.org.

►I’ve been living at Animal
Control since October 2010
and I sure would like to
spend the New Year with
my new family. I can picture it now: me curled up
in your lap while you drink
champagne and watch the
ball drop in Times Square
on TV. My name is Chloe
(FF2868) and I’m a young
and sweet Tabby girl who
promises to dedicate the
rest of my life to making
yours very happy. I was
found as a stray in Burgaw,
but I love to be held and
am a “great cat”, according to the folks here. Adopt me!
◄If you love chocolate (and
very sweet dogs), you’ll love
me! My name is Hershey
(CM3149) and I’m a 2 to
3-year-old boy who is fully
grown at just 30 to 35
pounds. It’s like I’m a
miniature Chocolate Lab! I
lost my home when I chased
my owner’s chickens. It’s
kinda my instinct to do that,
so I really can’t be blamed,
but I understand. I’d prefer a
home without them anyway!
I’m good on a leash and
would love to be yours!
►Hi, everybody!
My name is Eddie
(CM3202) and I’m
an adorable Cocker
Spaniel boy who may
be mixed with Beagle.
It’s a precious
combination, don’t
you think? I may look
like a puppy, but I’m
fully grown at about
2-years-old and a
light 15 to 20 pounds.
I was picked up by the
side of the road on
December 13, 2010.
I’m as friendly as can
be and love to meet
new people. If you’d like to share your life with a happy
fellow like me, call or visit the shelter soon!

My name is Lexie
(CF3208) and I’m
a petite, lemon and
white Basset Hound
mix girl. I’m just 6months-old and have
a lot of years ahead to
make you very happy.
I guess you’re wondering how I ended up
here. Well, my owner
didn’t have enough
time for me and
brought me to Animal
Control. I’m a true
sweetheart who will
make your heart melt.
I was so happy to
come out of my kennel
for my photo opportunity. It made me so happy to receive
attention and be talked to. Would you make my dream of a
family come true? Adopt me today!
►Since October 2010!
That’s how long I’ve been
living at Animal Control’s
animal shelter. My name is
Natalie (FF2819) and I’m an
affecionate, ebony-colored
beauty with golden eyes. I
was found as a stray in
Burgaw and have been
impressing everyone with my
sweet personality since my
arrival. I enjoy playing with
toys and will rub my face
against your fingers in
appreciation of your attention.
Please hurry to the shelter and meet me - I’m wonderful!
►There’s nothing I’d rather
do than spend the New Year
(and every year) with you!
Hi, dear readers, my name is
Penelope (FF3025) and I’m
a very affectionate girl who
showed up on someone’s
doorstep in Pender County.
I just wanted to come in out
of the cold! I’m a friendly
girl, a mere 1-year-old, and I
love to be petted, held and
kissed. Someone must have
once loved me as I’m so
comfortable with humans.
Please take me home today!

and I didn't produce enough puppies to sell. Although my
owner did not care enough about me to give me heartworm preventative, I don't show any signs of being mistreated and love to be around people. It will be a little
while before I am ready to go to a new home, since I have
to undergo heartworm treatment, but I am worth waiting
for! So go ahead and ask about me now. To make me a

everyday that I’m loved. Do you think you’re that special
someone? If so, please hop in the car and come meet me
at Paw’s Place. We can take a walk together around the
grounds and get better acquainted! If you need driving

trainers who volunteer
their time at the shelter and they’ve been working with me,
as well as with the other canines here. I am a little shy
when you first meet me, but a few treats do wonders in
warming me up quickly. You’ll see that I’m a very friendly
girl! I am already spayed, vaccinated and on heartworm

My name is Libby but
you might want to call me
‘Libby the Lovebug’. I bet
you can guess why, but
I’ll tell you anyway: I’m a
very sweet and affectionate girl who is simply
grateful for the touch of a
kind hand and any loving
words. I was found as a
thin stray with my buddy,
Gus. He’s a Hound and
is also at the shelter looking for a home. I’ve put
on weight in the months
that I’ve been here and
have made quite a positive impression with my mellow, gentle personality. The
folks here have yet to even hear me bark. I’m under 2years-old and would love to be part of a family. I think I
was born for that! I am already spayed, vaccinated and
on heartworm prevention, so all I need now is for you to
come fall in love with me. If you need directions or any
other info, please call SOAR at 910-457-6340.

Hello up there! Want to go
for a roll in the grass with
me? My name is Sheba
and I’m a very friendly girl,
just 1-year-old. I was
found as a stray in someone’s yard. As you can
see, I’m a small-sized girl
with a slender build. I’m a
beautiful creamy-white and
I have the softest brown
eyes ever! I’ve heard
some people say that they
think I’m a Saluki mix. I’m
doing great at the shelter
and am happy and playful.
I get along well with everyone - adults, children, dogs
and even cats. I’ve also already been spayed, vaccinated
and placed on heartworm prevention. If you’re looking for a
real sweetheart to spend the rest of your life with, I hope
you’ll consider me. Just call SOAR at 910-457-6340 and
they’ll tell you how we can get together!
I am sponsored by SOAR in loving memory of all their
wonderful, furry friends who made it safely to the

I lived in a loving home for
years, then everything
changed. My owner became ill and could no
longer look after me.
There was no one else to
take me in and I was
brought to Southport Oak
Island Animal Rescue
(SOAR). It’s quite a
change to go from a comfy
home with familiar sights
and sounds to the strange
surroundings of an animal
shelter. My name is
Gracie and, at 10-yearsold, I’m hoping to find a special person or family who will
bring me back into the home environment where I belong.
I enjoy receiving attention, being held, and will happily
snuggle up in your arms. I’m also spayed, vaccinated
and litterbox-trained. There’s no doubt that I would make
someone very happy with my purring, pleasing personality. If you’d like to meet me, but don’t know how to get
here, please call SOAR at 910-457-6340. They can give
you very easy directions and I’ll be so happy to greet you!
I am sponsored in loving memory of Speckles.

►Do you need your
very own surfer boy?
Catch some waves
with me! My name is
Surfer and I’m a
5-month-old orange
Tabby who was found
as a stray on Caswell
Beach. Now I’m
looking for a home
where I can sit on the
couch and watch television shows about surfing. I heard
Hawaii Five-O features some gnarly waves, dude! I am
already neutered, vaccinated and litterbox-trained and I
am so affectionate around people. I love it when they
hold me and cuddle me. I also get along well with cats!
◄I love attention and am
very loveable! Can you tell
by the way I’m staring
intently at the photographer?
I want her to put the camera
down and pick me up! My
name is Arnold and I’m a 5month-old Tabby boy who
was quite scared when I first
arrived at SOAR. But boy,
have I changed! Now I
eagerly look forward to
greeting everyone who
passes by. I’d be such a
good family cat! I’m
litterbox-trained. Let’s spend
the rest of our lives together!
►Hi there! We are
Ebony and Jett, two
gorgeous brothers
who are very
affectionate and
friendly. We’ve been
at SOAR for quite a
while and can’t figure
out why we haven’t
been snapped up!
We are cuddly,
playful and highly
kissable! I’m Ebony
and I don’t have a
tail. Jett has a
nubbin. I guess that
means we’re Manx
cats! Come meet
us and choose the
sweetheart you’d
like to take home!
Ebony
Jett
◄I’m a super-sweet boy
with a loving heart. And
I’m so glad to be on the
search for a new home!
When SOAR first met
me, I was tied to a chain
in the yard, with no food
or water to be seen. My
owner had moved away
and left me there. Now
that I’m at SOAR, I’m
melting hearts with my
loveable personality and
my happiness at being
given some attention!
I’m a 1-year-old Golden
Retriever/Yellow Lab
mix who is neutered,
vaccinated and on heartworm prevention. I’m a big boy at
75 pounds, but I know how to sit on command and I take
treats so gently from your fingers. I haven’t yet played with
the other dogs at the shelter, but I’ve shown no aggression
to them when they walk outside my kennel. I’ll be a fabulous
friend for someone!
►I’m a 6-month-old orange
Tabby boy named Marma.
That’s the short version of
Marmalade, get it? I’m a
very handsome, loveable
kitten who would be a great
best friend for you or
someone in your family. I
get along well with other
cats, too. In fact, I had
several brothers and sisters
with me here at one time, but they’ve all been adopted. It’s
my turn! I just love to be held and kissed and have a very
friendly personality. Come meet me and fall in love!
►Hello! I’m an
extremely affectionate
Hound boy named Gus.
I was found on Ocean
Isle as a stray and was
so skinny. Since my
arrival, I’ve put on weight
and I’ve impressed everyone with my friendly,
loving nature. I haven’t
even barked yet! I love
to play and am estimated
to be around 1-year-old.
I don’t jump up on people
and I’m good with other
dogs. You’ll find I’m
quite handsome, too, so come on over and meet me!

Well, you can already
see that I’m an intelligent girl - notice how
I’m sitting on command for my photo?
My name is Sheeba
and my story starts out
rather sad. You see, I
was adopted from
SOAR as a puppy and
was recently returned.
My owner is moving
overseas to Europe
and I am unable to join
him. Now, at 1-yearold, I’m back at SOAR,
longing to be part of a
family again. I’m a
female Hound/
Shepherd mix who is house-trained, leash-trained, playful
and friendly. I get along with everyone - men, women,
children, cats and other dogs. I’m already spayed, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention, too! I love receiving
attention and am very affectionate in return. I hope you
can see what a great companion and best friend I would
be. Please call SOAR at 910-457-6340 and let’s get acquainted real soon!

I May Have “Special
Needs” But I Still Need A
Home!
Hello! I’m Lola and I’m a
very sweet and loving girl.
I’m a 3-year-old Shepherd
mix and all I want is to
please and be loved. I do
have an old cruciate ligament injury which requires
me to stay on glucosamine
chondroiton for my lifetime.
It would be helpful if I were
hand walked on a regular
basis to strengthen my muscles. I don’t really get along
with other female dogs, but I generally interact well with
larger, docile male dogs. I have been in a shelter situation
for a long time and I’m really wanting a family of my own! I
love people and would be a wonderful companion for some
lucky person or family. I’m currently staying at a dog boarding facility and the owners say I behave beautifully. Won’t
you please consider adopting me? Please call the
Sunburst Foundation at 910-622-0011 or email
sunburstfoundation@gmail.com for more information.
I am sponsored by the Karl Miller family. Thanks!
Sunburst Foundation of Wilmington
Please call 910-622-0011 or email sunburstfoundation@gmail.com to adopt us!
◄I’m Hero, and when I
posed for this photo, my
sweet face certainly
disguised the rough shape
I was in. You see, the
Sunburst Foundation later
took me to the vet for an
exam, and I had three
decayed molars that had
to be extracted, erlichiosis
(from tick exposure) and
heartworm disease. I am
now recovering nicely in a
foster home and doing well. Unfortunately, my medical
bill is rising and will continue to rise while I undergo
heartworm treatment. Any donations toward my medical
care would be greatly appreciated. Please send your taxdeductible donation to: Sunburst Foundation, P.O. Box
7527, Wilmington, NC 28406. Thanks for helping me!
◄I’m Dawson and I love
all people, especially
children! I’m a 3 to
4-year-old, flat-coated
Retriever mix and I’d
dearly love to belong to
your family. I am housetrained, crate-trained,
neutered, vaccinated, and
on heartworm prevention.
I play well with other dogs
and I’ve had no problem
with cats. Call today so
we can meet real soon!
Blue Hand Home presents the 1st annual Cape Fear
Dragon Boat Race and Festival slated for Saturday, June
4th. Wounded Warriors and Sunburst Foundation will be
the recipients. Sunburst Foundation will be using the bulk
of the funds raised to help cats and dogs at Pender County
Animal Control. By purchasing a seat on a long boat, your
seat will be $50 and you will need to raise at least $50 in
pledges. That $100 can provide spay/neutering services
for 1 dog or 2 cats, heartworm testing for 10 dogs, Proheart injections (heartworm preventative) for 4-5 canines,
etc. Sunburst Foundation has worked to develop programs at the municipal shelter with the goal of helping to
establish a model shelter for other AC's to follow. Please
be a part of this proactive approach to helping homeless
cats and dogs have a voice. For more information, please
visit the website at www.capefeardragonboat.com.
◄My name is
Winston and I’m
looking for a loving
family! I’m a big boy
at 75 pounds and it’s
believed that I’m a
Boxer/Saint Bernard
mix. My name is
actually Sir Winston
because I can act
very dignified, but
sometimes I am silly
like Winnie the Pooh.
I am sweet and love
other dogs. At just
1½-years-old, I am
also neutered, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention. I
would do best in an active, adult, cat-free home with
another dog, probably a female who really likes to play.
I’m also house and crate-trained and doing well on a
leash with a gentle leader. Come meet me!
◄I’m Rosie! I’m a mediumsized Pug/Spitz mix and, at
just 4-years-old, I’m a smart,
friendly girl who would be a
great agility dog. I adore
children and am friendly to
adult humans as well! I am
doing fine in getting along
with other dogs and have
been working with an obedience trainer. I would love to
continue obedience training
with my new family. I’m also
spayed, vaccinated and on
heartworm prevention. You’d
be so lucky to share your life with a great girl like me!
◄Hello! This happy face
belongs to me, Ming Ming!
At just 2-years of age, I’m a
Boxer/American Bulldog
mix girl. I have a very
sweet personality and get
along just fine with other
dogs and people. I’m already house-trained and
crate-trained and I walk
well on a leash. I am also
very happy to sit on command for treats! And yes,
I’m already spayed, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention. Don’t waste another moment - call today!

Shelter News & Events
Sponsor A Brick and Pave the Future
The New Hanover
County Animal Control is
holding an ongoing Brick
Fundraiser to benefit its
new spay/neuter facility
and adoption play area.
Sponsored bricks, which can be inscribed to honor or
remember your pets and loved ones, will be laid as a
walkway in the play area and will lead up to the
spay/neuter facility.
Brick sponsorships start at $50 for two lines of inscription and $75 for three lines. The cost for businesses is
$100. A paw print can be etched in the brick for an additional $8. A portion of the proceeds will be used to equip
the spay/neuter facility and adoption play area.
Please call the New Hanover Animal Control at 910798-7500 for more information or stop by the facility to
fill out an order form. Order forms can also be faxed to
your home or business.
A Special Thank You to Readers
The dogs and cats at Pender County Animal Control’s
animal shelter are enjoying a warmer, happier winter
thanks to an outpouring of donations and monetary contributions from the public. Says Darlene Clewis, the animal shelter’s manager, “On behalf of The Friends of the
Pender Shelter and Pender County Animal Control, we
would like to thank everyone that helped with the generous donations. All of our dogs now have dog houses and
blankets. We even had donations of food and other supplies. If anyone would like to donate additional items,
please send an e-mail to me at DarleClew@aol.com.
Thank you again so much!”
The shelter’s most pressing need currently is dog/
puppy food, cat/kitten food, and cat litter. Call 910-2591349 or 910-279-3196 for more information.
‘Cool to Adopt’ Video is on YouTube!
Visit www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Q6y3cuL6zE
or go to Monty's Home (www.montyshome.org) and click
on icon to see the finished project. The video features
dozens of local pet lovers singing in unison that “It's Cool
to Adopt, don't
waste your money
in a puppy shop!”
The tune is catchy,
the people are
varied, and the
pets are rescued.
Most importantly,
the message is crucial to change the trendy purchase of
puppy mill or backyard bred pets. ADOPT is the message...check it out and pass it on.
Volunteers Needed: Adopt-an-ANGEL
Adopt-An-ANGEL is in need of mature, responsible,
dedicated people to volunteer at adoption fairs Saturdays
and Sundays at Petco. Volunteers should be flexible, able
to multitask and must get along with people and animals in
a very stressful environment where there may be limited
resources. You must be strong enough to walk large dogs,
willing to carry large cages, willing to scoop litter boxes,
pick up dog poop, and work with both dogs and cats.
Adopt-An-ANGEL is a network of animal lovers that takes
animals from Animal Control when they have run out of
time or have special needs beyond what the shelter is able
to provide. Through the week they also have animal transport jobs available where cats and dogs need rides back
and forth to veterinary hospitals. Adopt-An-ANGEL pays
no money or benefits for either of the jobs. The perk is
finding a homeless animal a home or giving it a ride and
doing a good deed for the day. Please call Marlo at 910616-3708 if you are interested.
Drink Wine and Help the Cats!
The Ruffian Foundation, a feral cat sanctuary, invites
all animal lovers to its 3rd annual
fundraiser at Noni Bacca Winery on
Sunday, January 23rd, from 2pm to
6pm at 420 Eastwood Road., Unit
108 (near Racine Blvd.). It will be
a wonderful evening of wine tasting, raffle prizes (including dog or
cat boarding, fabulous Japanese dinners, an acupuncture
session, 50/50 raffle, and many more), good food, and excellent company. Chris Bellamy will also be playing!
Please help them continue to help cats live a safer life. A
$5 donation (tax-deductible) will be gratefully accepted at
the door for much needed cat food, bedding, etc. All proceeds benefit the feral cat sanctuary, a 501(c)3 non-profit,
all volunteer, charitable organization. For more info, visit

Hello, my name
is Minnie-Moo.
I’m just 2-years
young and a very
loving, energetic
and wellmannered girl.
That means that
I’m both housetrained and cratetrained! I love
car rides and
walks on the
beach (or any
other adventure
you can throw my
way). As a huge
bonus, I am currently residing with a professional dog
trainer who works with me every day. I can get a little too
excited around small children and other animals so I
should be your only fur baby. I am spayed and up to date
on vaccinations. If you are ready to begin our adventure
together, please call Amy at 910-253-0501. I’ll be waiting
for you.
I’m CoCo MoonPie
and I’m a 9-year-old
female Boxer mix.
Seven years ago, I
was found wandering
on Highway 17 by a
kind lady who scooped
me up and rescued
me. I’ve been living
at Paw’s Place ever
since! Please, won’t
someone take a
chance on me and
bring me home? I’m a
truly wonderful girl. I
enjoy chew toys and
being around other
dogs and people. I’m
so very sweet - I love
giving lots of delicious doggie kisses. If you have a 6-foot
fenced in yard and a cat-free home, I hereby promise to be
your loyal, loving, lifetime buddy. To find out more, or if you
need driving directions, please call Paw’s Place at

thanks for stopping to read
my story. I want to say a
very special thank you to all
those who’ve helped me
with my medical expenses!
The growths I had on my
face and behind my right
ear are h-i-s-t-o-r-y! And
my pearly whites are again
both pearly and white
again. I am a very outgoing
and affectionate Sheltie girl.
My foster family is amazed
at my level activity. I just love life! Since arriving at Sheltie
Rescue Boot Camp, my foster dad has been helping me
regain my svelte figure. I only have a pound or two left to
lose. At 9-years of age, I am house-trained, leash-trained,
come when called, crate-trained and good in the car. I am
ready to graduate to my forever home. To make me a member of your family, please call Triangle Sheltie Rescue at

Hello, my name is Roo! I am a beautiful, female American Classic Brown Tabbycat. I was found in the Hoggard High School parking lot in Wilmington and brought
to my foster home on Oak Island. My approximate date
of birth is October 18, 2010. At first, I liked to sleep in a
bag (pouch) and therefore was called "Roo," as in Kangaroo. I am sweet, playful and used to a big dog and
other cats. I'm already spayed and have had my first
round of kitten shots. If you would like to meet me,
please call my SOAR foster mom at 910-278-4437.

◄▲We two brothers - Stark and
Eric - were found all by ourselves
on a neighborhood street. I’m Stark, the Tabby on the left
with the white chest. Eric has a glossy black coat. We
are just 8-months-old and have friendly, affectionate personalities. We’re already neutered, vaccinated and litterbox-trained. You can adopt us separately or together!
►I was abandoned as
a baby kitten, so my
wonderful foster mom held
me in her arms and gave
me formula from a baby
bottle. Being held like that
has made me extra sweet
and friendly toward humans.
I’m quite accustomed to
being kissed and cuddled!
My name is Stanley and I’m
a 7-month-old boy who is
litterbox-trained. I’m great
with other cats and I’d love
to be your best friend!
►The power of prayer
works! You see, I
was at a local church
praying for someone to
help me. Next thing I
know, I’ve been scooped
up and carried to safety.
Now all I need is a
family! My name is
Princeton and I’m an
8-month-old male kitten.
I’m a loving boy who is
happy to be held and
kissed. In fact, they call
me a certified “people
cat” and an “absolute
doll”. You can rub
my belly and flop me
around. If it’s affection you want, be sure to adopt me!
►I’m a 2-year-old girl
named Bingo and I’d love
to be part of your family!
I’m a very sweet and
friendly feline who gets
along well with other kitties.
I am already spayed, up to
date on vaccinations, and
litterbox-trained. I’m a
quiet girl who just wants a
nice, cozy life with people
who adore me. Oh, and if
you have a peacock feather
or a few toys for me to play
with, that would be great,
too. Swing by today!
►A very kind lady found
me in her neighborhood.
Someone had abandoned
me on the street! My name
is Hershel and I’m a
7-month-old kitten with
sleek, soft, ebony-colored
fur. I’m a very sweet boy
who would be perfect in any
household. You see, I get
along well with other cats
but I also am fine on my
own. I like to be held, but
I don’t mind being at home
while you go to work. I’m
loving, but not clingy. I’d be
such a wonderful addition to your household. Come visit!
►My name is Jack and
I’m not at all a wiggle
worm. No sir, when
you hold me in your
arms, I don’t try to get
down. I stay put and
make biscuits with my
paws. Some cats don’t
like to be held, but not
me! I’m an 8-month-old
boy who was found in a
cardboard box on a
hot day. I was so very
tiny at the time. I was
bottlefed by my foster
mom, so I’m extremely
comfortable being with
humans. Come over
and meet me today! I’ll be happy to let you hold me.
We are sponsored in honor of all cats and kittens who have found loving homes with forever families.

Have you ever
wanted to make a
difference in your life
or another’s life but
didn’t know how?
Well, here is your
chance! I’m Katy, a
12-year-old giant
Schnauzer who is in
desperate need of a
loving home to spend
the rest of my days.
All of my previous life was spent outside in a confined dirt
and concrete “prison”. I was so deprived of exercise that
my back legs atrophied, which has now rendered me unable to jump. I am a most forgiving lady. Despite my previous, lonely, isolated condition, I have a great and loving
personality! Schnauzer Rescue of the Carolinas truly believes that I will adjust to the comforts of real life inside a
loving home. I have shown absolutely no signs of aggression whatsoever, and am very appreciative of all the attention I am now receiving! I am deaf so I watch the movement of my humans closely for interaction and am very intelligent - I catch on quickly. I have a hypo-thyroid condition
that is easily managed through once a day medication. I
get along well with other dogs and ignore cats. I have had
so many days of neglect and abuse, so now I need to
spend my remaining days in a forever home that showers
me with love, affection, and attention - things I deserved
from the very beginning. If you would like to open your
home to a deserving, loving, gentle giant, please visit
www.schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org. There you can fill
out an application online and view other adoptable rescues.
If you need an application mailed or faxed, call 910-2648300 to have an application sent.
I’m a family dog who
has somehow ended
up at a shelter! I hope
you’ll read this and
bring me home where
I belong. My name is
Izzy and I’m a loving
girl, just 4-years-old,
who is friendly to everyone I meet. I am
already house-trained,
leash-trained and obedient - I know how to
sit on command. I get
along great with children and other dogs.
I was once part of a
family but my owner
moved and couldn’t
take me. I’m a perfect size at 32 pounds - not too big and
not too small. They tell me I’m a Lab/Terrier mix. I’m already spayed, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention.
I’m such a happy, friendly girl and I love to receive attention. Why not bring your kids to SOAR and meet me? I’d
love to go for a walk on the grounds. You just might realize
I’m the companion you’ve been searching for! Please call
910-457-6340 for driving directions or any other questions
you might have about me. Can’t wait to meet you!
Downtown Wilmington, NC. Thank you!

OPERATION TOPCAT
DOOK-N-DANCE FERRET SHELTER
If there is such a thing as
twin cats then my brother,
Casper, and I would fit the
bill. We look very much
alike except for the black
markings on the top of our
heads. I'm Snowy and I'm
a friendly guy who likes to
play and be petted. My
brother does too but he’s a
bit shy so if you could adopt
both of us, that would be
really great. We have been
together since birth. Please
email otopcatnc@aol.com or call 910-200-0612 to find out
more about me. To meet some of the other kitties here,
visit www.petfinder.com/shelters/NC250.html.
My name is Marshmallow and I
came to rescue from a lady who
could no longer care for me or afford
my vet care. I’m approximately 6 to
7-years-old. I suffer from adrenal
disease. When I first came to the
shelter, I only had hair on my head
and feet. Since then, I’ve had a melatonin shot which allowed the symptoms to abate some and let me grow all my hair back. I get
along great with most other ferrets. To sponsor my care or
adopt me, email at dookndance@yahoo.com or call 910548-2831. You can also view other ferrets by visiting
www.petfinder.com/shelters/NC189.html.
COLUMBUS HUMANE SOCIETY
My name is Mako and I'm 10 to
12-months-old, weigh approximately 40 pounds and am a
Husky mix. I have one brown
eye and one blue eye and I
must say that I'm a very handsome boy. I’m looking for just
the right family. I'm very energetic and I love to run and play
and have a good time. I'm fully
vetted (all shots, neutered,
heartworm free) and microchipped (can be transferred into
new owners name). I'm a very
lucky boy who was rescued just hours before being put
down and I show just how happy I am by giving plenty of
kisses. Please call Columbus Humane Society at 910-6401505 or email lambertpat54@yahoo.com.
PENDER ENDANGERED ANIMAL RESCUE
Hello and Happy New Year! My
name is Mr. McDuff and I am
hoping for a great new home for
the New Year. I have had an incredibly hard beginning to my life.
You see, someone had thrown me
away...they actually threw me
over the fence at the dog kennels. Yup, that is where I ended
up, skin and bones and in some serious help. Pender
Endangered Animal Rescue (PEAR) has taken me in and
now I am gaining weight and getting healthy. I am a
youngster and need a home. If you’d like to adopt me,
please call PEAR at 910-675-0867 or send an email to
dogadoption1@gmail.com for more information.
PHOENIX LANDING FOUNDATION
My name is Frankie. I am a female
Ringneck parakeet and am 8-yearsold. As I have grown older, I have become more vocal and my current owners are no longer able to keep me as
they are expecting a new baby and are
afraid I may scare the baby. I am used
to having playtime outside of and on
top of my cage daily. I love to get regular spray baths and have a great deal of
fun playing with paper towel rolls. My
favorite treats are kiwi fruit and apples. I am looking for
that loving family who understands Ringneck parakeets
and desperately need a foster home. Won't you please
give me a chance? To foster or adopt me, or another of
the many parrots of all species, contact Phoenix Landing at
www.phoenixlanding.org (click on adoption/foster), email us

perfect addition to your family? I’ve already been neutered

FUREVER FRIENDS ANIMAL RESCUE
CAPE FEAR HOUSE RABBIT SOCIETY
My name is Blackie and I
was rescued by Pender
County Animal Control Shelter. I had been hit by a car
and my back leg was pretty
banged up. They transferred
me to Furever Friends so
that I could get medical treatment. My hip and leg had
been broken and have since
been repaired. Now I’m going to physical therapy a few
times a week to help build
the muscles back up in my
leg. I’m a very happy, super
sweet dog who is full of love. I’m approximately 3-yearsold, vaccinated, neutered, leash-trained, crate-trained and
I’m good with kids, cats and other dogs. I did test positive
for heartworms but will be treated for them at no additional
cost to my adoptive family. I would really love a home because I’m tired of being in a cage. For more information or
to adopt me, please call 910-383-2100 (Monday through
Saturday between 8am-6pm).
Hi, I’m Elle,
another big white
bunny rescued
from being falcon
food. I am very
sweet once you
get to know me,
but I really think
I would love a
bunny companion.
I am very playful,
and want to be out
of my pen dancing
all day long. My
foster mom says
she loves to watch
me. I love my
hard plastic toys
and I toss them
and flip them in the air. It is really so much fun, especially
when they land in my water bowl! I was so scared when I
was first rescued, but life is wonderful now. All I need is a
home of my own with lots of room to run around to my
heart’s content - I will be totally happy. Won’t you be that
one? Please call Cape Fear House Rabbit Society at 910471-7854 or email paula-watkins@ec.rr.com to adopt us!
You can also visit www.capefearrabbits.org to see other
bunnies looking for homes.
PET FRIENDS OF DUPLIN COUNTY
My name is Toby and I'm a handsome
gray Tabby kitten with white paws. I
was found as a stray. A little guy like
me wouldn't have had much luck surviving out there all alone! I'm 3-monthsold now and my foster mom says I'm
great entertainment, always exploring
and playing. I was tested for FIV and
Feline Leukemia and was negative for
both. I'm up to date on my shots and neutered. Do you
need some entertainment in your life? Please call
910-271-3101 for more information.
CAROLINA ANIMAL PROTECTION SOCIETY
PLEASURE ISLAND PAWS
My name is Cobra! I'm a super
playful and very curious guy! I
was found in a dumpster and was
fortunate to be brought to the
Carolina Beach Animal Hospital
where the Pleasure Island Paws
group took me in. They have
tested me for Feline Leukemia
and FIV and both came back
negative. I have even been
given my shots and am soon to
be neutered. So why not take a few minutes to come
down and visit with me! I am sure you won't want to leave
without me! Please call 910-458-3000 for more info on
me and the adoption process or for directions.
Hi, my name is Boots. I am a black and white tuxedo kitty
who is already neutered. I am a 1-year-old boy who was
rescued by a nice woman and turned over to CAPS. I have
a visual impairment due to bilateral scarring but I am not
blind. I am very playful and get along well with other cats
and dogs. I love to knead and nuzzle a soft, fluffy blanket,
especially at night. I love attention and enjoy cuddling. I
would love to have a forever home but I need to be with
older children or adults. To adopt me, email
debbiebaldwin@hotmail.com or call 910-330-1376.
URGENT, URGENT! We
Need to Find Homes Soon!
Hi there, my name is Page and
this is my best friend Coal.
We’ve lived in a home together
for many years and are so sad to
be searching for a new place to
lay our heads. It would be wonderful to be adopted together,
but we can be adopted separately if we each go to a loving
home. I’m an 8 to 9-year-old
PAGE
female Shepherd mix and I’m a
95 pound teddy bear. Coal is an
8-year-old male Lab mix with an
easy smile and a loving personality. We are house-trained,
obedient and eager to
please. We love going for
walks, playing with children
above the age of six and we
have lived harmoniously with a
cat. We would be great companions for anyone. We are
spayed/neutered,
up to date on
COAL
vaccinations and on heartworm
prevention. I do take glucosamine for some arthritis in my hips, but I am responding well.
Because we’ve lived in a home all our lives, we have great
house manners and are well-adjusted, social, friendly dogs.
Would you please consider adopting one of us? Or perhaps both? We promise to give you so much love and so
much companionship! You’ll never be lonely again. Please
call the Sunburst Foundation at 910-622-0011 or email
sunburstfoundation@gmail.com for more information.
Hope to meet you soon!

Toss me a tennis ball
and I’m in heaven! In
fact, that’s what I’m waiting for in my photo. You
can’t see it, but my tail is
a blur from wagging in
anticipation. My name
is Fly Boy (CM2431)
and I’m the most fun
and friendly dog you’ll
ever meet. You won’t
have a boring moment
with me by your side. I
love life and I love people. Second to tennis
balls is my love of water.
So if you’re an active
person who likes playing
fetch or visiting the beach, I’m your fellow! I’ve been at the
shelter since May 2010, so I’m really looking forward to
being a new family member. I’m a Lab mix who is good on
a leash and just 1 to 2-years-old. I have a happy, playful
personality and would love to meet you real soon! Please
call Pender County Animal Control at 910-259-1349 or
Officer Clewis at 910-279-3196.
I am sponsored by Cindy Meyers and Patrick Bathurst

MID-ATLANTIC GREAT DANE RESCUE LEAGUE
My name is Obi and
this is my brother,
Rowland. We are
brothers who were
surrendered to the
rescue. We are 6year-olds and have
been together our
whole lives - won't
cope well if we are
separated. Even though we are mature, we are very loving
and still like to run and play! We love to lean and give hugs.
We would prefer a home with a larger female and we don't
like cats. When we sleep, we pile into a colossal crate in a
big pile. We love stuffed toys but sometimes enjoy destuffing them even more. Do you have room for me and my
brother in your home? For more info about us, contact the
NC Chapter Mid-Atlantic Great Dane Rescue League by
calling Terri at 252-566-8934 or visiting www.magdrl.org.
CAROLINA BASSET HOUND RESCUE
Hi everyone, I am Maybell. Most people won't consider adopting an older
dog, but I wanted to let you know that
if you take a chance adopting me, I'll
show you the joys of owning a jewel
Basset. I am petite and my goal
weight is between 30 to 35 pounds. I
like playing with my younger foster
sisters and I enjoy being inside, but
also love investigating the outdoors. I
know not to get on the furniture but to use a dog bed, how
to use a doggie door to go potty, and appreciate meals
and treats. Like many older dogs, a house with a lot of
steps isn't for me. I'd love to have the chance to wrap you
around my paw and show you that I am the perfect house
puppy. To make me a member of your family, please call
919-708-4247 or visit our website at www.cbhr.com.
GREYHOUND FRIENDS OF NORTH CAROLINA
My name is Flame and I’m just
2-years old. I am an average size
for a Greyhound, and just look at
me, muscles everywhere! I love to
run in the yard at the kennel and
play with the other girls in my
group. I sure would be happy to
find someone who will give me a
wonderful loving place to call
home. I promise you won't be
sorry, as I am so ready to give
hugs and kisses to my new family.
Please contact Barbara at 910-540-9644 for more info on
adopting me. You can view other greyhounds looking for
good homes at www.greyhoundfriends.com
CAPE FEAR GOLDEN RETRIEVER RESCUE
Hello again... Chantik here. Well,
Thanksgiving and Christmas have
come and gone and I'm still waiting for
my new forever home. I really am a
good girl, mature at 5 to 6 but not too
old, totally house-trained, love walks,
and ride well in the car. I'll even tolerate other dogs! I do say tolerate, as
I'm not a huge fan of playing with other
dogs, but I'm ok with just hanging out with them. I'm not a
great fan of small children, so it is best that I be in a home
where there aren't any of those. They think I am part Australian Shepherd and part Golden Retriever. Everyone
says I have beautiful eyes and am "unique" looking
(whatever that means). To give me a forever home,
please contact the Cape Fear Golden Retriever Rescue at
910-791-5001 or visit www.cfgoldenrescue.com.
CAROLINA BORDER COLLIE RESCUE
My name is Early and I currently live
with 5 other Border Collies. I love to
play with toys, enjoy chasing balls
and I really like treats. I work on my
house-training skills every day and I
am getting better and better. I am
looking for a home where I can get a
lot of attention and exercise. I do not
like crates but to make up for it, I am
warm and toasty when we cuddle on
these cold winter nights. I like children as long as they are not too young. To adopt me,
please visit CBCR.org or call 919-682-6125 for more info
about me or other Border Collie's available for adoption.
SCHNAUZER RESCUE OF THE CAROLINAS
Are you looking for a precious little girl
who loves life, enjoys car rides, and
longs for cuddling time? If so, then
look no further! I’m Trixie, a 5-yearold, 14 pound female mini-Schnauzer.
I am crate-trained, house-trained, and I
walk well on a leash. Sometimes I just
mosey on into my crate to relax for a
bit - it’s kind of my safe haven. Even
though I am petite in stature, don’t let
that fool you because I am full of personality! I am a happy little girl but I
would be even happier if I could find a
loving forever home! I am spayed, up
to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped. If you would like a wonderful addition to your
home, visit www.schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org.
There you can fill out an application online and view other
adoptable rescues. If you need an application mailed or
faxed, please call 910-264-8300.
Adoption Celebration
We’ve All Been Adopted!
I’m a wonderful family dog named Bella!
Look at my photo
and you will see how
well-behaved and
obedient I am. All
they did was hold up
a treat, say ‘sit’, and
I sat right down with
no hesitation. I’m a
2-year-old girl who
was found at Animal
Control with my nine
puppies. They have
all been weaned so
I’m ready to find a
home where it’s my
turn to be the baby.
I love everyone and
never meet a stranger. I’m a brindle Boxer mix who is
house-trained, leash-trained and great with children. I’m
sweet, gentle and calm and just an all-around terrific girl. I
hope someone will recognize what a jewel they would
have in me. Please call Pender County Humane Society
at 910-259-7022. I can’t wait to get started on our new life
together!
Meow there! My name is
Sweetie because I'm one of
the sweetest cats you'll ever
meet. I'm about 1-year-old,
spayed, current on my shots,
and litterbox-trained. I'm
extremely affectionate and
love to be cuddled. I also get
along great with the other
kitties in the playroom.
Speaking of the playroom, you
should really come visit! It’s a
cage-less environment, which
means that we felines are
always free to move about.
You can come right on in and sit among us! You’ll find us
eating, napping, cuddling and playing. It’s a cat lover’s
paradise! You can pet me for a while and get to know me.
I’m sure you’ll soon understand how I got my name. Now
don’t forget - if you are looking for a feline playmate and
best friend, you’ve come to the right place! Call Pender
County Humane Society at 910-259-7022 and tell them
you’re coming over!
I am sponsored by NCBeachBargains.com in honor of
Tim and Linda and Erica Scaife. Thank you!
