I WANT YOU
To Adopt Me and Love Me and Give Me the Forever Home I Deserve!
PawPrints Magazine's
HOMELESS COVER MODEL
It really is Independence
Day for me because I just
got out of prison! No, it’s
not what you think, I am a
very good girl; I just went
there for training with the
Pawsitive Partners Prison
Program. We spend nine
weeks learning all the
things needed to be a good
companion, like walking on
Spanky
a leash and sitting politely.
I have graduated at the top
of my class and am ready
for my forever home. My
name is Spanky and I’m a
young firecracker, just
2-years-old, and I look very
much like an American
Foxhound! My buddy
Ginger shares my dream of
finding a loving family. We
both are really good with
children, other dogs and
cats and have the same
Ginger
laid-back, loving
personalities. She’s just 2-years-old as well and
about the same size as me. Either of us would
make a great addition to your family or, better yet,
both of us! We get along really well and that sure
would be fun to be adopted together! You can
apply at www.montyshome.org or call Monica at
910-297-1338 or email adopt@montyshome.org.
And thank you, Dick Parrott, for taking these

Hi, I’m Darla
and I’m a
2-year-old,
female Jack
Russell.
Don’t you just
love the big
brown circle
around my
eye, makes
me pretty
special. I was
surrendered by my owner because he couldn’t take care of
me when I was pregnant. Unfortunately, my puppies did
not survive, but I am healthy and ready to find a new loving
home. I am a happy little girl who LOVES to play. Tug of
war or chasing balls, whatever your heart desires I’m game
for. I prefer bigger dogs to play with but if the right small
dog came along, we could give it a try. Oh, I love to play
with those humans, too! In my downtime, I love to cuddle
in your lap. I am house-trained, crate-trained, leashtrained, current on all vaccinations and spayed. I’m ready
to go! For more info, please call Furever Friends Animal
Rescue at 910-383-2100.
Hello, friends, my name
is Jack! I was once part
of an orphaned litter of
kittens that was running
out of time at Animal
Control. A nice young
lady saw us there and
took us home. We were
so tiny that she had to
bottle-feed each and
every one of us. Did you
know that bottle-feeding
makes kittens very sweet
and sociable? We become very used to being
held and cuddled by humans, so we’re not skittish or shy at all. And that describes
me to this day! I’m a 1-year-old brown Tabby who is now
available for adoption through Cat Adoption Team. I’m
such a sweetheart with a very loveable personality. I even
get along great with dogs! I’m also neutered, up to date on
vaccinations and litterbox trained. Won’t you give me the
chance to love you? Call Cat Adoption Team at 910-7929014. We’re also at Petsmart seven days a week!
I am sponsored by Cindy Meyers in loving memory of
Harley and Murphy.

REWARD! LOST DOG!
PLEASE HELP!
"Streaker"
.
Neutered, Male 7-Year-Old Border Collie
He was taken from his family over a year ago.
They haven’t stopped looking and continue to pray for
him to come home. He has been seen running stray near
Pender High School this spring break.
If you have seen him or have any information,
please call Nicole at
910-330-5583 or 910-455-4717.

I’m a little puzzled
why a cutie-pie like
me is living at Animal Control! My
name is Jellybean
(A003614) and I
once had a family
but the landlord
said, “No dogs allowed, not even
adorable ones like
Jellybean.” I paraphrase here, but
you get the idea.
My folks sure must
have been sad to
bring me to the
shelter! I’m a
1-year-old Jack
Russell Terrier mix who plays well with other dogs. I
also like to be held! Yes-sir, I’m a true cuddler. I am
very friendly and still getting used to my surroundings.
Instead of living in a kennel, I want to be back in a home
environment where I belong! Wouldn’t you like to drive
out here, hold me in your arms and get to know me?
Call Pender County Animal Control at 910-259-1349 or
Officer Clewis at 910-279-3196. They’ll be happy to
give you driving directions or tell you even more!
I Was In Last Month’s
Issue. I Need to Find a
Home Soon!
If you want a puppy who
will melt everyone’s heart,
pick me! My name is
Ziggy (A054128) and I
was found on Baldwin
Drive in Brunswick
County. (My name was
Alec in the last issue, but
it’s been changed.) I’m a
precious puppy, just
5-months-old, and I
need the love of a good
woman, good man, or
good family. I’m not
choosy! I’m a Black Lab
mix who is friendly, happy, playful and gorgeous. My fur is a
shiny black, so smooth to the touch and I have the cutest
little underbite! I searched the playroom in vain for a toy, and
had to settle instead for a couple spins of chasing my tail.
Everyone laughed when I did that - I guess I’m just too darn
cute! I love treats and will happily sit so that you can give me
one. Come on over and meet me! You might just want to fill
out that adoption form while you’re here. If you need driving
directions or hours, call Brunswick County Animal Control at
910-754-8204. Bring a ball if you can. If not, I’ll chase my
tail for you.
I am sponsored by the Keffer pack: Dixie, Luke, Kira
and Jackson. Please consider adoption.
Thank you!
I am sponsored by Willetts Horse Farm, Bolivia NC in
loving memory of Maya.

I’m a Plott Hound – not quite
pure, but darned close. I
lived in the woods of Boiling
Spring Lakes for at least six
months. My owner must have
dumped me and my brother
when we were pups and left
us to fend for ourselves.
They caught my brother and
brought him to Paws Place in
August, but it took them until
December before they could
catch me. They named me
Xena and I am still learning to
trust people and can be very
skittish. I will run if given the
chance, so I need a high
fenced yard and cannot be left alone in it. My friends here
have just started to take me to Adoption Days. It’s a little
scary sometimes, but I think I can get used to it. I’m a little
over a year old, have been spayed and I weigh about 55
pounds. My brother just recently found his new home, so
I’m hoping that a kind, patient and loving family will give me
a chance, too! Come see me at Paws Place! Their phone
number is 910-845-7297.
My name
is Leon
and I am
a HUGE
orange
Tabby
with an
endearing
personality. I
came in
with Jade
(pictured
on page
14) because our
owners
got a divorce and no one could keep us. I am about
5-years-old and you can meet me at Pet Supermarket on
Oleander Drive. Jade and I can be adopted separately or
together. It would be nice to stay together if someone out
there has a big enough heart to help us both. I am very
friendly and active, but I like to cuddle close at bedtime. If
you would like to know more info about me or Jade, please
call Adopt-An-ANGEL at 910-392-0557.
I am sponsored by Hank and Grace Harrington.
I am sponsored by Perry Davis. Thank you!

►Hi, my name is
Casey! I am a
4-year-old, 30
pound Husky mix
girl. I am housetrained, cratetrained, leashtrained and great
with other dogs.
I can be a little
skittish with rambunctious kids. I
have lived with
cats before but I
seem a little
scared of them.
I don't bark and I don't need to be crated. I get excited
when it’s time to eat and I go out and jump around in circles.
I am a little slow to warm up initially but I get attached and
love the heck out of my humans eventually.
►My name is Sonny. I
am a very affectionate
boy who lays his head in
your lap. I sit and shake
on command. My sister
and I were at Animal
Control. She was
adopted but I ran out of
time so Adopt-An-Angel
took me in. I am a great
dog who is approximately 10-months of
age. I have already
been neutered and I am
current on vaccinations.
I am playful and energetic and would love a little kid to romp and play with.
◄Here I am and
my name is
Kimmy. I am a
knee high little girl
who is so friendly.
I would be a great
apartment dog
and I am good
with other animals. When you
come home, I
wag my whole
body not just my
tail. That's how
happy I am to see
you and I am so
happy to be alive. I am sponsored by Terry Garrison who
paid my adoption fee to save my life!
►My name is Gus.
I am a gentle giant
who is calm and
easy. I am 6-yearsold and lost my
home when my
owner went into
rehab. I am very
smart and have a
big “knowledge
bump” on my head
to prove it. Anyone
would be lucky to
have me. I am neutered, vaccinated
and heartworm negative. I get along great with kids, cats
and calm, settled dogs. I am past the playful puppy stage so
I won’t romp, play or chew shoes or toys. I like the companionship of other dogs, but not for play.
◄My name is Bandit and I
am a very sweet girl. I am a
mid-size around 30 pounds
and I’m long and short. I am
an active girl who would do
best in an active home. I am
a spoiled baby so I would
prefer to be your only pet if
possible. I love to walk, run or
jog along side of you while
you walk, jog, skateboard, roller-skate or bike. A volunteer
even rode a bike and I jogged along side for over two miles.
I am a couch potato inside. I am spayed, tested negative for
heartworms and up to date on my vaccinations.
►My name is Beauty and I am a
little black Lab who weighs only
around 25 to 30 pounds so I
would be great in an apartment.
I am SUPER SMART, too. I already know sit, lay down, shake
and can almost do rollover. I
absolutely love children, I am
house-trained and I walk really
well on a gentle leader. I am
spayed, heartworm negative and
up to date on my shots. I am
eager to please, very easily corrected and TREAT MOTIVATED,
too! I don't prefer cats and do ok
with some dogs so it would be
easier if I was an only dog. I was
once pampered in my previous home, but they could no
longer keep me. I can be shy around men especially since I
have been homeless a few months and most of the volunteers and staff are women. I am an overlooked gem, just a
plain little black dog who needs someone to love her.

This is my second
day at Animal Control and I still don’t
understand why
I’m suddenly without my family. My
name is Maple
(A003966) and I
had no where else
to go when my two
human parents
were taken to a
nursing home. I’m
sure they must
miss me and I bet
they’re praying a
wonderful, compassionate person
or family will give
me a brand new
life - one that is happy and full of love. It’s what I’m wishing for, too! I’m a 6-year-old Lab mix girl who is already
spayed, house-trained and leash-trained. I’m a little overweight, so daily walks with me would be wonderful. I am
friendly to everyone I meet and I sit for treats. In fact,
that’s what I’m doing in my photo. So, what do you think?
Adopt me and you’ll have a ready-made companion, one
who is already well-trained and family-friendly. You’ll also
be helping mend three broken hearts. Call Pender County
Animal Control at 910-259-1349 or Officer Clewis at 910279-3196 and tell them you’d love to come meet me.
I am sponsored in honor of Kathleen M. Langone.
Look at me, look
at me! I am one
handsome devil
for sure! I was not
always this way as
I was forced to live
the first five years
of my life on a
chain. I came into
rescue a mangled
ball of mess.
Everyone was
shocked when a
mini-Schnauzer
popped out from
under all of that. I am so glad to be off of that chain and I
am now ready for my own home. My name is Smokey
and I am six years old and weigh 25 pounds. I am a gorgeous boy with silky grey hair and the trademark Schnauzer beard. I am house-trained, crate-trained, and walk
well on a leash. I currently live with three Bassett Hounds
and love to play with them but I can be a little alpha to
strange dogs outside of my home. I would like to be an
only dog or in a home with dogs my size and under. I love
to sleep on my dog bed at night and I don’t make a peep.
During the day I love hanging out, basking in the sun on
the porch or curling up next to you while you read a book.
If you have room in your heart and home for me, go to
www.schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org and complete an
adoption application. If you need an application mailed or
faxed, please call 910-264-8300. Oh, I forgot to mention: I
am neutered, heartworm negative, micro-chipped, and up
to date on all of my shots.

►Hi there! My
name is Pixie
(A055193) and
I’m the
Russian Blue/
grey girl on
the left. Next
to me is my
black and
white brother.
His name is
Puddles
(A055194).
We arrived at the shelter because our owner decided he
didn’t want kittens. Perhaps he should have spayed our
mom! Now we’re facing an uncertain future at Animal
Control. We are affectionate darlings who will be great
companions for anyone. Please come meet us today!
◄It’s no wonder I’m
named after the Goddess
of Love - I’m a Love
Machine! My name is
Venus (A055379) and I’m
a 1-year-old girl who was
found as a stray. I have
fluffy long hair, big gold
eyes and a personality
that is just purr-fect. I
enjoy being held and
want nothing more than
to go home with you today. You’ve got to come
meet me in person. I will
be your special girl.
►Well, hello
there, have
you come to
adopt us?
My name is
Sheryl
(A0551331)
and I’m the
Calico on
the far left.
In the
middle is my
black
brother,
Buffett
(A055130). We are 7-week-old kittens who were found
as strays. We are so curious and so sweet - bonafide
heartmelters, I tell ya! In the back of the cage is our
buddy, Melody (A055211). She was taking a nap.
Come get to know us and choose the one you love!
▲It’s raining kittens at Animal Control!
Several litters are featured on this page, but
there are many more available at the
shelter. We come in all sizes, shapes and
colors. As for us, we’re three white
brothers who need loving families! Our
names are Jimmy, Marley and Bobby
(A055571, A055572, A055573) and we are
playful 8-week-old darlings who love to
play, cuddle and purr. Come hold us in
your hands, kiss our sweet faces, and
choose the one you love!
►Hi there! We are Hocus
and Pocus (A054062,
A054065) and we’d like to
cast a spell on you! Don’t
worry, you’re going to like it!
We will make you fall in love
and we don’t even need a
magic passion formula. All
you have to do is come meet
us, cuddle us in your hands
and presto!...love will hit you
like a ton of bricks. We are a
boy and a girl, just 12-weeks
of age and we love to play,
cuddle, purr, hop, skip and
nap. Come get us today!

Hello, everyone, my
name is Lucy! I’m a
beautiful black and
white girl with long fur
and a petite frame. At
just 10-months-old, I’m
a super-sweet young
feline. I love to snuggle
and be petted and when
you talk to me I answer
with cute little meows. I
also enjoy playing with
jingly cat toys and any
other toy you might
want to give me. I am
mellow and social and
get along with other
cats. As for my health, I
am already spayed, vaccinated and litterbox-trained. Remember what they say: good things come in small packages and that definitely applies to me! Won’t you let me
be your girl? Call Cat Adoption Team at 910-792-9014.

My name is Lyla and I have
not met a person or animal
that I didn’t like! If you’re
friendly and social like me, I
bet we would make a great
team! At just 1-year-old,
I’m a Boxer mix girl who is
already spayed, vaccinated
and on heartworm prevention. I love to play with toys
and I love to receive attention from humans. I am
great with cats, other dogs
and I love children, but I’d
probably fit in best with
older kids because of my
energy. I’m also doing very
well with my basic commands! Wouldn’t you like to see me
grow up into a very loving and wonderful girl? We can take
trips to the dog park or beach and have a fantastic life together. I’d love to play in our fenced yard, go for walks in
the neighborhood and snuggle on the couch with you. If this
all sounds good, call SOAR today and inquire about adopting me! Their number is 910-457-6340.

be adopted! We are four girls
and two boys names Jersey, George, Cindy, Mindy,
Nikki and Nili. We have been living in a foster home with
our feline mom since we were 2-weeks-old. We’re now
9-weeks-old and ready to find loving homes! We are very
sociable, sweet and playful. We’re already up to date on
kitten shots, spayed/neutered and litterbox-trained.
◄We three precious
kittens were found

now, at 12-weeks-old,
we’re ready for families!
My name is Astro and
I’m the boy pictured in

Star Gazer (a female
torti) and Michaux (a

►I’m a 1-year-old boy
named Brownie. If you
adopt me, you’ll find I’m just
as sweet as the dessert I’m
named after! You see, I’m
a super-snuggly boy who
enjoys attention from humans and who always welcomes a hand on my fur.
I’m already neutered, vaccinated and litterbox-trained,
so all I need now is a human to love me! Come
meet me and see why I’m
the cat of your dreams!
You won’t be disappointed.
◄Just take one look at me
and I’ll have you melting into
a puddle of goo! My name is
Fuzzy Girl and I’m one of the
prettiest cats around. I have
silky fur, medium-length, and
I love to be touched. I get
along just great with other
cats and dogs so if you
already have a furry family
at home, I believe I would fit
right in. I’m just 1-year-old
and already spayed, up to
date on shots and litterboxtrained. Let’s get together!

My name
is Jade
and I am a
very sweet,
loveable
BIG Calico
kitty. I
came in
with my
brother,
Leon
(pictured
on page 8).
We lost our
family because they got a divorce and neither could keep
us. As you can see in this picture, I am very sad and I
miss having a home and people who love me. The most
remarkable green eyes, along with the vibrant orange
splashes of my fur make me very striking and appealing.
You can find Leon and I together at Pet Supermarket on
Oleander Drive. We can be adopted separately, but if
someone out there would be interested in taking in two
orphans, we would love that, too. If you would like to know
more info about us or would like to inquire about the adoption process, call Adopt-An-ANGEL at 910-392-0557.
Hi – I’m
Buddy –
I’m very
shy at
first, but I
can be
very playful. I
have a
really
warm and
loving
personality. I don’t get to ride in the car so much, so on adoption
days, when I do ride, I can get a little nervous. I love to
cuddle. Paws Place took me to the vet and they said I was
very healthy and heartworm negative. Then they gave me
shots. They think I’m about 1½- years-old and weigh about
40 pounds. I play well with other dogs and would love to
have the chance to be in a home with a real family. If you’d
like to meet me (and I hope you do!), please call Paws
Place at 910-845-7297. They’ll be happy to give you driving
directions or tell you even more!
I am sponsored by Marybeth and Elliott Tepper in loving memory of Charleston and Scarlet, who loved all
their sisters and brothers. We all miss you so much.

even some
red hair!! I
am a great
cat and only a
couple of
years old. I
love people and they love me. I really don’t like being in this
shelter and with royal blood, I shouldn’t be. Come take me
away from these peons.
◄They call me Rivet
and just like the strong
fastener I’m named for,
I will attach myself to
you and never let go!
As you can see, I am a
beautiful gray Tabby
with splashes of white.
I am 2-years-old and
would like to spend my
next birthday at my
new house. I am timid
at first but if you understand cats, you know it
is just my protective mode to keep from getting hurt. Let
me feel comfortable and you’ll see what a great cat can be.
◄Would you
believe someone moved off
and left us behind? Not only
us, they left our
seven kittens,
too! Some people are just
heartless! We
don’t remember
which kittens
were mine and
which were
Winky’s, but they’re all grown now so we’re looking for new
homes. I’m Whitney, the long-haired pastel Calico on the
left and the Torti next to me is my sister, Winky. We would
love to stay together though we would understand if we
can’t. Both of us love people, but not other cats, so if you
have an empty lap that needs a cat, come meet us.
►If you don’t know
what a Nixie is, let me
tell you. It is a mythical feminine spirit of
fresh waters in sacred
springs and rivers. An
appropriate name for
a kitty from an area
with so much water,
don’t you think? I am
an 8-month-old, pastel
Calico. Like any
mythical spirit, I can
be a little bit shy at
first, but I love to be
petted and have my
head rubbed.
◄Mad Max
they call me!
Just because I
am so wild and
wooly looking!
I am a 4-yearold brown
Tabby and
Maine Coon
mix. I crave so
much attention
that I’ll wear
your arm out
petting me. I
do get along
well with other
cats if you want me to share, but I am happy being the
only one as well.
◄It may not
be winter
time but it’s
always a
good time for
some Cocoa.
I am a
6-month-old
girl. I’m dark
chocolate
brown with a
tiny white
spot next to
my right eye,
just like a
little beauty
mark. I am
very shy at first but if you give me some time I’ll warm up,
just like the hot chocolate, and I’ll cuddle in your arms.

I have chocolate fur, soft
brown eyes, and a loving
heart! Where is my family?
My name is Angel Brandy
(A001654) and I’ve been
living at Pender County
Animal Control’s animal
shelter since March of this
year. That’s a long time at
Animal Control and, unfortunately, they can’t keep me
indefinitely. You see, the
shelter is required by law to take in all abandoned pets.
However, a building is only so big and, if it is full, someone
has to go to make room for that new arrival. As I’ve been
here a while, I will soon have to make room for someone
else. Please, please, won’t someone come and see
how sweet I am? I’m a favorite to many at the shelter
and have a friendly, social personality. I was found as a
stray, but I was wearing a collar so I must have belonged
to a family at one time in my short life. I’m a young girl
and would love to spend the rest of my life with you. For
adoption information, please call Pender County Animal
Control at 910-259-1349 or Officer Clewis at 910-2793196. They’ll be happy to give you driving directions or
tell you even more!
I am sponsored because all rescues deserve a chance
to be part of a loving family.
URGENT, URGENT!!
My Time Is Running
Out!
There are just too many
animals arriving at the
shelter and not enough
room for us all. Can’t you
tell by my smiling face
that my story should have
a different ending? My
name is Calista
(A003893) and I’m a
friendly Bulldog mix girl
who knows how to sit on
command for treats. I
also know how to steal
hearts with my attentive,
people-pleasing personality. I’m already spayed, too! At
2-years-old, I have many more years of loving ahead. I
walk well on a leash and my fur is a beautiful red and white.
The folks who had me moved away, but before they left
they told the Animal Control officers that I’m heartworm
positive. Is there someone out there who would adopt me
and help get me heart-healthy? You’d truly be saving my
life twice - once by adopting me and again by treating my
heartworms. That’s a lot of good karma you’d be generating and I’d surely show you my gratitude for the rest of my
life. Please come meet me! Call Pender County Animal
Control at 910-259-1349 or Officer Clewis at 910-279-3196
for driving directions or more information. I look forward to
seeing you at my kennel door.
I am sponsored in honor of Kathleen M. Langone.

◄I am a wonderful cat and
homeless through no fault
of my own. My name is
Ninja (A273307) and I’m a
10-month-old, neutered
boy who is good with children. I came to the shelter
with my sister, Sasha
(pictured next to me). Our
owner moved and couldn’t
take us. I’m a cuddly, loving and handsome young
man. I have silky, shiny
black fur and a bushy tail.
I crave being held and
enjoy being in your lap.
►My last family called me
Hybris (A273256) but you
can name me anything you
want as long as you’ll love
me. My last family surrendered me to the shelter because they were moving
and couldn't take me along.
I am looking for someone to
adopt me who will never,
ever let that happen to me
again. I’m a 5-month-old
Hound mix who is playful
and loving and who never
lets his tail stop wagging. I
know how to sit, shake and
roll over on command and I’m even crate-trained. I am
INCREDIBLY cute and am engaging so I’ll be fun to train.
I must have toys in my new home because I think they are
great. I will sit by your feet and play with them or we can
play together, whatever you prefer!
►My name is Sasha
(A273309) and I love to
stretch my legs out, which is
hard to do in a cage. I’m
hoping you’ll help me out
with that by adopting me!
My owner moved away and
surrendered me and my
brother, Ninja, to the shelter.
I have loads of character, I
love to rub up against you, I
have already been spayed
and I’m full of sweetness.
I’ll be an ideal companion
for any loving family with or
without children.
►Wandering down
Carolina Beach Road is
no place for a puppy!
I’m so thankful that Animal Control picked me
up and brought me to
the shelter. My name is
Bentley (A272612) and
I’m a happy guy who
loves toys. I am a
Golden Retriever and
Australian Shepherd mix
and I love toys...oh, wait,
I already said that. I
have loads of personality
and I’m ready for a long
life that’s full of love and
fun. Adopt me today!
▲We are Terry (A272882), Tony (A272866) and Tory
(A272865) and we are sweet, baby kittens who are looking
for loving families. We were part of unplanned litters and
were surrendered to Animal Control with hopes of finding
forever homes. People! You’ve got to spay or neuter your
pets so little ones like us don't end up homeless...or worse!
Come by the shelter and get some sandpaper kitty kisses!
◄Hi, my name is Buddy
(A272890) and I’d love to
be your friend, your chum,
your companion, your pal,
your mate, your furkid,
your sidekick or I’ll settle
for being your buddy. I’m
a 1 to 2-year-old, petite
Labrador mix who was
found running loose on
Princess Place Drive in
Wilmington. My fur is a
blend of black, chocolate
and white. I am leashtrained, neutered, playful
and super loving. I’m also
gentle, curious and eager
to please. If you have
room in your life for a
sweet boy like me, please don’t waste another minute.
Contact the shelter today and tell them you want to love me!!

Don’t I look happy in this
photo? This was taken on
my graduation day from the
Pawsitive Partners Prison
Program with the family
who adopted me, why
shouldn’t I be happy? I had
a home! But unfortunately,
it was only for a little while
because they got mad
when I chewed up some of
their stuff and brought me
back. My name is Ginger
and I am crate-trained, just
2-years-old and love everybody. I’m a good size girl,
about 50 pounds, but am
very well behaved - I was at
the top of my obedience
classes! I just need a little
help with which toys are mine and which are yours, but am
a quick learner, please give me a chance. Call Monica at
910-297-1338 or email adopt@montyshome.org. Better
yet, fill out an application at www.montyshome.org.

Wouldn’t it be great to
wake up to this happy
face every morning? I
give good morning
kisses, too! My name
is Amy (A055104) and
I’m a 7-month-old girl
who was found as a
stray. I was so happy
to come out of my kennel into the playroom.
I just love meeting new
people and love receiving attention. I’m playful, but I always slow
down long enough to
flop back and enjoy
belly rubs. Ahhhh,
those are great! I’d be
a great family dog because I have such a happy, affectionate personality. I’m a petite girl, too, perhaps mixed with
Shepherd. Won’t you come meet me? Please call Brunswick County Animal Control at 910-754-8204. They’ll give
you driving directions or answer any other question you
may have about me! Hope to see you soon.

◄My name is Sophie
and I’m a special girl just check out my front
paws! Can you see how
they look like oven mitts?
I’m a polydactyl cat,
which means I have an
extra toe on each paw. If
you ask me, that means I
bring good luck! I’m a
4-year-old, spayed lady
who gets along with other
cats, dogs and children. I
used to live inside-only
with kids but my owners
moved away. Adopt me!
►I’m a Golden Retriever/Lab mix and I
once had a loving home,
but my owner passed
away. I’m the kind of girl
that you only have to
spend a few seconds
with before realizing
Spot
that I’m a perfect family
companion. I’m Sug
(pronounced Shug) and I
adore people, am fine
with cats, am already
house-trained and leashtrained. See that doggie
below me? That’s my
daughter! We’d love to
be adopted together, but
can go to separate homes. I’m gentle with children, too!
◄Hi! My name is
Pumie and I arrived at
the shelter with my
mother, Sug. That’s her
pictured above me. Our
owner passed away and
there was no one else
who could take us in.
We are perfect companions for some very lucky
person or family and
can be adopted together
or separately. I’m a
4-year-old Golden Retriever/Lab mix girl who
is house-trained. I am
fine with cats and I
played gently with the
3-year-old granddaughter who would come visit. Adopt me and let’s enjoy life!
◄My name is Goose and
I’m a gorgeous, pure-white,
3-year-old boy. My fur is so
soft, it’s hard to quit touching me once you’ve begun!
I’ll be a very affectionate
and loving companion for
some lucky person or family. I get along with dogs
and other cats, and I like to
snuggle with my humans at
night. I’m already neutered, vaccinated and
litterbox-trained. You must
come meet me and see
how handsome I truly am!

►I once had a family,
but they moved to an
apartment that didn’t
allow pets. What a sad
place that must be! My
name is Elena and I’m a
1-year-old, spayed girl
who is up to date on
vaccines and litterboxtrained. I am getting
along just fine with the
other cats at the shelter
and I’m used to living with
a dog. I’m a very sweet
Tabby who enjoys living
inside-only with my folks.
◄I’m a 1-year-old spayed
orange and white Tabby girl
named Brave! Brave is
what I’m being right now
because I’m homeless. My
sister Buttercup used to
share this window with me at
the shelter but she was just
adopted. I must admit I’m a
little lonely and I’d really like
a family of my own. I’m used
to living inside-only and I like
other cats. I can fetch toys just throw a ball and I’ll get it!

I’m such a sweet boy!
My name is Picasso and
I’m just getting settled
into shelter life. You see,
I used to be part of a
family, but my owners
moved to an apartment
where dogs aren’t allowed. Sounds like a sad
place, if you ask me. I’m
a 3-year-old neutered
fellow who is already
house-trained. I lived
with other dogs but I
haven’t been around kitty
cats. I play well within a
fenced yard and I sleep
inside with my family. I
weigh just 14 pounds, perfect for holding and cuddling!
They tell me I’m a Fox Terrier. Oh yes, I really enjoy car
rides! Especially if I’m going to a place where they give out
doggie treats, like the pet store. So what do you say?
Would you like to meet me? Call the New Hanover Humane Society at 910-763-6692 and let’s get together!
I am sponsored by Levi Donovan.
Please think about adopting.
Hi, I am
Belle. Even
though I am
older in
years, I am
still the Bell
of the Ball! I
was surrendered to the
shelter by my
owner who
didn't want
me any
more. I had glaucoma in my left eye but thankfully the vet
removed it since it was so very painful for me. Now, I am
running around and enjoying my life with the other dogs in
my foster home. I am also very respectful of their kitty
cats. I am loving and am as sweet and kind as I can be.
If you can give me a furever home, I'll be all set! Ask
about adopting me, Belle, and you won’t be sorry! To
inquire about the adoption process and to make me a
member of your family, please call 919-708-4247. You
may visit the Carolina Basset Hound Rescue website at
www.cbhr.com where you can learn more about me and
other wonderful Bassets looking for love.

◄I’m Oakley. Can
you guess where I
came from by my
name? Animal
Control found me
on Oak Island just
about six years
ago when I was a
pup. That’s right –
I’ve been here just
about my whole
life. I’m very loving
and affectionate.
I’m only about 55
pounds and am a flat-coated female Retriever mix who
is up to date on all of my shots and heartworm negative. I would really like the opportunity to live in a home
(I was adopted once before and returned through no
fault of my own) and be loved for me. Please come visit!
Paw’s Place Needs Financial Help for
Senior Dogs at the Shelter!
There are several senior dogs at Paw’s Place who
regularly need specialty foods, pain medication and
other medicines. Could you help fill this need?
Any monetary amount you can spare would be
greatly appreciated!!!!!
Please send your tax-deductible contribution
to Paw’s Place, 3701 Boiling Spring Rd.,
Winnabow, NC 28479. Thank you so much!
◄I’m Konane!
Do you know
how to say it –
Ko nan ee – it
means bright
moon. I got my
name in a rather
unusual way. A
kind gentleman
found me in Boiling Spring Lakes
and asked Paws
Place to help me. Paws Place decided to let their 1000th
“like” on Facebook name me. Not only did she give me a
pretty name, she came out to meet me, too. I’m a Hound mix
who will probably be about 40 pounds. I’m also heartworm
negative and up to date on all my shots. I’m sweet, loving
and gentle and just want a chance at a life with someone who
will love me. Come out to see me at Paws Place. They are
open every day from 9am until noon.
(Call for a pre-adoption application and adoption fee info.)
◄I’m Nadia
and I’m just as
cute as can be.
I’m good
natured and
love to run
around with all
of the other
puppies. I’m
a Redbone
Hound/Lab mix
who gets
excited when
people come
to visit. If there is water, I like it – especially putting my
feet in the water bowl – isn’t that what it’s for? I’m
3½ -months-old, have my shots and am spayed. They
say I’ll probably be a big girl – maybe 60 pounds, but I can
also be very laid back. Hope my new family comes soon!
◄My name
is Shasta
and I’m
learning new
things at
Paws Place,
like playing,
walking on a
leash and
food bowls.
My friends
here say that I am very gentle and not aggressive in any
way. I get a little frightened sometimes, but I think it’s
just a matter of me getting used to things. The vet
thinks I’m a Shepherd mix, around 8-months-old. I’ve
had all of my shots and am spayed. Once fully grown, I
will probably only weigh around 50 pounds. My siblings
have already found homes – now I hope it’s my turn!
◄I’m Tasha and
I came from a
litter of eight
pups. My mom
was a Redbone
Hound and my
dad was a
Lab. The folks
here are thinking
that I’ll probably
grow to about 60
pounds when I’m fully grown – right now, though, I’m 25
pounds and just 13-weeks-old. I’ve been to the vet’s
office and I’m up to date on all of my shots and spayed,
too. I’m good natured and love to run and play with the
other dogs. I can be a real cuddle bug as well! I hope I
get a nice family with kids that will want to adopt me.

I’ve Been at the
Shelter a Year!
Why Is a Great Girl Like
Me Being Overlooked?
My name is Gypsy and
I’m one of the sweetest,
friendliest and most
loving girls you’ll ever
have the joy to meet. I’m
a completely nonaggressive Pit Bull who
never meets a stranger.
My smiling face welcomes all the people who
greet me. I am spayed,
up to date on shots and
on heartworm prevention.
I get along with other dogs, I dearly love playing with
squeaky toys and I will take treats very gently from your fingers. I also love playing in water. I have a fabulous time
splashing in my wading pool and I really enjoy getting
squirted by the water hose. I see fun times at the lake or
beach in our future! First, though, you must come meet me
in person. You won’t be disappointed by my prize-winning
personality! Here’s one more bit of information to entice you:
a friend of mine is sponsoring my adoption fee! For driving
directions, or if you have any questions, please call Pender
County Humane Society at 910-259-7022. I’ll be waiting!

At first
glance, I
might look
like any
other adorable kitten,
but if you
take a
closer
look, you
will notice
that I’m
missing my
rear right
leg. Well, missing isn’t the right word - I have part of it, but
it ends just below my knee joint. It’s actually quite cute
and I get around just fine! I run, play, skip, hop, jump and
melt hearts just like any other kitten. The only thing I can’t
do is scratch behind my ear - that’s why I need you! My
name is Peg (A003907) and I’m an 8-week-old girl who
was brought to the shelter with four brothers and sisters.
(They all have fully-formed legs.) We were an unplanned
litter and our owner decided to drop us off. I am extremely
sweet and loving and they believe I was born with my leg
this way. I’ve never known anything different and am quite
happy. Well, I would be even happier if I had a family!
Please call Pender County Animal Control at 910-2591349 or Officer Clewis at 910-279-3196. They’ll be happy
to tell you all about me and how we can meet!

Dreamboat! That is the
word that my foster
mom uses to describe
me (completely unsolicited) - so call me
Dreamboat Abner and
know that I want to be
your ‘Ship of Dreams!’
I hope to be ‘heading
out to somewhere,
won’t be back for
awhile’ – somewhere
being my Forever Family. I’m 8-years young
and get along great
with other four leggers,
the furry ones who purr
don’t even interest me,
and I've even learned
how to use the doggy door for all my business meetings. I
am also quite the conversationalist. If you need someone
to talk to, I am your hound! If you speak to me, I will mumble back and will keep it going as long as you want. And
unlike the rest of your family, I will let you finish a sentence!
So all aboard the SS Abner, and let’s set a course for adventure to your house, just ask for me! To make me a
member of your family please call 919-708-4247 or visit our
website at www.cbhr.com. Also, we are extremely short on
foster homes! If you have ever thought about fostering,
contact Carolina Basset Hound Rescue for more details.
I am sponsored in appreciation of everyone who has
rescued a homeless animal.
Another
dynamic
trio of
dogs is
looking
for a
home
(not all
in one

place,
Elliott
though).
We are Elliott, Alice,
and Olivia, and we are
in foster homes with
Schnauzer Rescue of
the Carolinas. We are
three of twenty-two
Schnauzer mixes (mixed
with Poodle or Cairn
Terrier) who were confiscated and sent to rescue when our owner
was arrested for cruelty.
We no longer are forced
Alice
to live in broken down
cars or cages hung from
a tree, we are in loving homes and ready for adoption.
We are very sweet, under 20 pounds, and a bit shy at first
but warm up quickly. We are house-trained, great with
other dogs, and fully vetted (neutered/spayed, heartworm
negative, microchipped, up to date on all shots). Visit
www.schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org to apply to adopt
us or call 910-264-8300 to get an application.

lovers!
We are
Buddy
Lee,
Dino, and
Leanne,
three

lucky
souls taken in by Schnauzer Rescue of the Carolinas when our
owner was arrested for cruelty.
We came in with nineteen of our
friends so there are plenty to go
around. All of us are Schnauzer
mixes (some with Poodle and
some with Cairn terrier) under 20
pounds and 2-years-old. We are
so happy to be in homes and we
are each now looking for our forever home where we can be
spoiled. The three of us are in
Dino
Virginia, but don't worry, getting us
closer to you is no problem. We are all spayed/neutered,
up to date on shots, micro-chipped, and heartworm negative. Please visit www.schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org

►You can’t tell by my
smiling face and alwayshappy personality, but
someone once used me
terribly as a breeding
machine. I’m so much
more than that! I have
lots of love in my heart
for some special person
or family, and I hope
they’re reading about me
right now! My name is
Maggie Rose (A003911)
and I’m a 3 to 4-year-old
girl who was found as a
stray. I’m extremely
friendly and sweet and
I’m also a cuddler, even if I’ve just met you. Let’s go!
◄I was so happy to sit in
this chair and be rubbed!
When a human touches
me, I get all purry and
mushy and extremely
loving. My name is
Cheeto (A003080) and
I’ve been at the shelter
since April 26! That’s far
too long for a handsome,
awesome cat like me to
be homeless. I’m the
kind of kitty that people
fight over! I guess I’ve
just been overlooked.
Please come get me!

need homes! I’m tiny, but I’m spunky and very loving.
Kelly is sweet as pie and purrs all the time. We were part
of an unplanned litter. Hope someone plans to adopt us!

◄There are SO
MANY adorable
kittens at Animal
Control right now. I
am just one of them!
Hello there, my
name is Annabelle
(A003900) and I’m
an 8-week-old, fluffy
female kitten who
was found as a stray
in Rocky Point.
Someone must have
abandoned me. I’m
a precious, darling
baby who enjoys
being held. I have
the prettiest gray
and white fur - it’s so
silky soft. You’ll
never want to stop touching or cuddling me! I am friendly to
all the other kittens I’ve met. Please come visit us and tell
all your friends that great kittens can be found here!
►What a sad day it must
have been for my former
folks when the landlord
said I couldn’t stay. It was
sad for me, too. My name
is Tina (A003140) and I’m
a 2 to 3-year-old Boxer
mix girl who is friendly
and affectionate. I was
so happy to come out of
my kennel for photos.
They gave me treats and I
made new friends, which
is something that comes
easily to me. Hope to
befriend you real soon!
►I arrived at the shelter on
June 12 and I’m hoping to
get out of here real soon!
I’m a family dog, of that
there is no doubt. Won’t
you come visit and get to
know me? Hi, my name is
Peanut (A003677) and I’m
an extremely sweet and
loving boy with a tenderhearted nature. They tell
me I’m a Rottie mix, just 2
to 3-years-old. I was found
as a stray and desperately
want to be a well-loved
family member. Adopt me!

I’m all about purrs, head
butts, devotion and giving
my family as much attention as I can. My name is
Samantha (VA8306)
and I’m a seal point
Siamese. Not for sure if
you noticed, but most
Siamese kitties have light
blue eyes. But not
me! I’ve got beautiful
dark blue eyes. It’s one
of the many traits I have
that makes me special. I
am turning 10-yearsyoung this summer. Don't worry about my age
though. The doctor gave me a clean bill of health. I can
see perfectly, my blood work and teeth are in great condition! My Mom recently had a stroke and could no longer
take care of me. The nice people at Siamese Rescue are
currently providing me with a temporary home until I can
find a new loving family. Did you know they’ve saved over
8,123 kitties? And I’d like to be number 8,124 to get a forever home with a loving family. If you’re interested in learning more about me, please ask about me through Siamese
Rescue at http://va.siameserescue.org/. You can also call
my foster Mom at 910-399-3920.

◄I will be a wonderful
little lap cat for some
lucky person or family!
Right now, I’m a tiny
kitten and my name is
Patti. I’m a sweet baby
girl who was born at the
end of March. I love to
be held and purr away
with contentment in your
arms. I also have a
great time playing with
toys and I get along well
with other cats. The vet
gave me an A+ check-up
and I’m already spayed,
vaccinated and litterboxtrained. Let’s go home!
►I’m a sweetheart and
my name is Raven!
I hope my big, brown
eyes are drawing you
under my spell. I’d
really love to be part of
your family, you see!
I’m a 10-month-old Lab/
Shepherd mix who is
living at the shelter with
my sister, Lady. She’s
pictured on this page,
too. I am friendly and
fun and I have a great
time playing in my wading pool on these hot
days. Sis and I can be
adopted separately, so come on out and get to know us!
◄Have you always
loved Boston Terriers?
My name is Boston and
I appear to be a purebred! I was picked up by
Animal Control and no
one has ever claimed me
as their own. I’m a brindle boy, probably around
3-years-old and a mere
15 pounds. I am already
neutered, up to date on
shots and I take my
heartworm pill every
month. You will not find
a sweeter dog than me
anywhere! Adopt me
and you’ll be so happy.

◄This smile is meant for
you! How can you resist?
My name is Lady and I’m
a 10-month-old Labrador/
Shepherd mix girl. I’m
living at the shelter with
my sister Raven, who is
also pictured on this
page. Aren’t we pretty?
We are full of life and very
affectionate and we love
to splash around in our
wading pools. We have
always been together,
but we can be adopted
separately. I am already
spayed, vaccinated and
on heartworm prevention. Come make my acquaintance!
►Need some
love? You’re
in luck! I am
ready to bring
you lots. And
you can tell
by my photo
that I’m a real
beauty! My
name is
Danielle and
I was born on
June 15,
2010. We
cats live in a cageless environment at the shelter, so you can
really get to know me and watch me interact with the other
kitties. I love all people and am very affectionate. I’m also
spayed, up to date on shots and litterbox-trained.
◄Hi there, my name is
Tina! I’m a Chihuahua
mix, about 2-years-old,
and I weigh in at a light
ten pounds. Perfect for
holding! I am spayed,
current on vaccinations,
and on heartworm prevention. When I came to
the shelter from Animal
Control, I was pregnant
and gave birth to a litter of
six puppies. I was a terrific mom. My babies have
all found homes and now
it’s my turn. I can be a bit
shy at first, but I warm up
quickly. You’ll love me, so hurry on out to the shelter!

Alert! My name is Waylon
(A055373) and I’m the companion you’re looking for!
I’ve got a bunch of fans here
at Animal Control who can’t
understand why a great boy
like me is homeless. I was
found as a stray, but I’m already neutered and someone took the time to teach
me commands. I know how
to sit, shake paws, and lay
down. I walk well on a leash
and take treats ever so gently from your fingers. My fur
is a beautiful brindle and
looks almost like tiger stripes. I’m really handsome! At just
1-year-old, there is lots of time ahead for me to make you
very happy. Oh, if you’re wondering how I got my name, I
arrived at the shelter on Waylon Jenning’s birthday.
Wouldn’t that be a great story for your friends? You can tell
them all about me after you’ve filled out the adoption papers. Call Brunswick County Animal Control at 910-7548204 and let’s get our new life started!

Hi there, my name
is Sasha! I’m a
12-week-old puppy
who arrived at the
shelter with my
mother, Louise.
She’s pictured on
this page with me.
My mom is a German Shepherd and
I’ve inherited her
gorgeous good
looks! We are living together at the
shelter but, of
course, we can be
adopted separately. Have you been searching for a precious
puppy who will steal your heart? I challenge you to
come meet me! I bet I can melt your heart in two
seconds flat. I am a playful, affectionate girl who
would make anyone’s life a thousand times happier.
I’ve had my first round of puppy shots and am already
spayed. I enjoy munching on dog cookies, love to be
cuddled and I’m sure I’d get along just fine with other
dogs as I’ve had such a great upbringing by my mom.
So how about it, won’t you come meet me? Call Pender County Humane Society at 910-259-7022.
Everyone tells me I’m a gorgeous German Shepherd girl!
What do you think? My
name is Louise and I’m just
2-years-old. Here you can
see a close-up of my face,
and in the other photo I am
standing with my puppy, Sasha. Sasha and I were
picked up as strays by Pender County Animal Control. I
had another puppy, too, but
when we arrived at the shelter, one of the officers
promptly fell in love with her
and took her home. A little
while later, Pender County
Humane Society met Sasha
and me and decided to take
us from Animal Control and
into their shelter. Now we are
enjoying all the attention and
giving lots of love to our new
friends. I’m a very friendly,
affectionate girl and I would love to find a brand new
home. I hope the same thing for my puppy girl.
Won’t you come meet us? Call Pender County Humane Society at 910-259-7022.

My name is
Scrappy and I am
a very friendly and
loving little girl. I
weigh 40 pounds
so I am a mid-sized
Lab. I do wonderful
with other dogs and
cats. I even lived
with a couple cats
before. I do love
my people and I
can bark a lot when
they first get home,
so an apartment
with thin walls would not be good for me. I also can
jump or climb a chain link fence so I will need a privacy fence. When I first came in, I was a mess but
the shelter has really worked hard to get me looking
healthy and gorgeous like I am now. I have really
blossomed under their care! I am house-trained, too.
I am a gentle, sweet girl who would love a home to
call my own. I have been homeless since January
when my owners were evicted from our home. Won’t
you adopt me and give me the best home I have ever
had? The shelter says I really deserve it. If you
would like to know more info about me, please call
Adopt-An-ANGEL at 910-392-0557.
My name is
Melanie. I am
a 10 pound
Dachshund
who is good
with cats, dogs
and kids. I am
super - I mean
super sweet. I
sing to you at
dinner time
and also when
you come
prancing through the door. I can jump in the air and
do a perfect squiggle just to greet you since I am so
excited you are home. I am the ultimate lap dog and
can give kisses until the cows come home. My eyes
speak to you and will melt your heart. My only fault is
that I suffer from a seizure disorder. Someone with
experience with this would be helpful. I take medication and it is cheap but I still have some seizures occasionally. I am really attached to my people so it would
be great if they were home a lot. A quiet, less active
home would be ideal due to my disability, but it is not
completely necessary since my foster home is quite
active and I am doing well here. For more information

Hello,
friends, my
name is
Skitters!
I’m a
Dachshund/
Chihuahua
mix - how
can you not
love that? I
was rescued from a
miserable
home life in
Boiling
Spring Lakes. Not only did the people not take care of me,
but I was picked on by other dogs. My legs are kind of
funny looking and I’m also heartworm positive. My friends
at Paws Place are going to get me “fixed” (not so sure I
like that!) and get me started on heartworm treatment. I
really like to be around people. I just need someone to
love me for me! Please come and visit. For adoption information or driving directions, please call 910-845-7297.
I am sponsored by Marybeth and Elliott Tepper in
loving memory of Tripp (who was adopted from Paw’s
Place.) We love him so much!
My name is
Phoenix and I am
a pretty outgoing
Calico kitty. I am
declawed so I will
never scratch your
furniture. I came
in with two other
cats, one solid
white who was
also declawed and
a solid black one
who was declawed, too. The
three of us lost our
homes when our
owner had to take
a mandatory job
relocation and had
to move into an apartment fast with a no pet policy. I am
the most outgoing, easy and loveable of the three, but we
are all very nice. Please, please hurry and adopt me! If
you would like to know more info about me or my siblings
or would like to inquire about the adoption process, please

◄Have you always
wanted a Russian Blue?
Well, I may not be
purebred, but I have
that beautiful bluish/grey
fur that is so unique and
lovely. My name is
Fresca and I’m a young
3-year-old girl who was
found wandering around
Oak Island as a stray. I
am a very friendly,
loving feline and I enjoy
being with other cats.
I’m also spayed,
vaccinated and litterboxtrained. Let’s meet!
►I’m a Lab
mix with a
curly tail and
my name is
Bear! If your
dog needs a
pal, I’d be a
good one. I
love other
dogs and
recently had
fun playing
with an old
friend who
was adopted
but who came back for a visit. I’m a young fellow at just
2-years-old and am already neutered, vaccinated and on
heartworm prevention. I love going for walks with my
friends at the shelter and sure would love to meet you!
►Can you believe I
was once at Animal
Control, running out of
time? My new friends
at SOAR can’t believe
it either - they’re the
ones who rescued me
and they say I’m a very
sweet, loving boy. I’m
Buddy and I enjoy
receiving attention from
humans. I play well
with other dogs, too.
As for my health, I’ve
been to the vet’s office
and am neutered and
up to date on all my
vaccinations. They tell me I’m a gorgeous German Shepherd/Retriever mix. Can I start a new life by loving you?
▲We are Gabby and Carlos and we can be adopted
together or separately! I’m Gabby and I’m laying on top of
Carlos. He’s orange and white and I’m a white/brown
Tabby girl! We are both 12-weeks-old and we are very
sweet, precious and playful. Come adopt a kitten!
►Hi there, I’m Betty and
I’m a beautiful, sweet girl.
Like a lot of female
felines, I became pregnant with a litter of kittens
and had to raise them on
my own. At least I had
my sister to keep me
company - she found
herself in the same predicament! She looks like
my twin and is also waiting for a loving home.
Our kittens are adopted
and we need pampering
now. You’ll be glad you
adopted me, I’m great!
►You might
wonder how a
dog named
Pender ended
up in Brunswick
County. Well,
it’s because
SOAR was kind
enough to take
me in when
Pender County
Animal Control
needed to find
places for all its
dogs while undergoing renovations. I’m an extremely
loveable mixed-breed boy who just wants attention and affection. I’ve played well with other dogs at the shelter, so if you
have one you’d like me to meet, bring him or her out! The vet
estimates I’m around 6-years-old. Won’t you come visit me?

Look at my happy face!
You’d never know my
folks dropped me off at
Sampson County Animal Control. You see,
they were moving to a
big, new house and
decided they didn’t want
to bring me along. I
choose to be positive
and believe that my
next new family will
never abandon me and
will love me forever!
Does that describe the
kind of person you are?
If so, please come save
me! My name is
Cricket and I’m a 3-year-old male Corgie mix. The folks at
the shelter want you to know that I’m VERY sweet and affectionate. I am black and white, just like an Oreo, and I
appear to get along well with other animals. My neuter surgery and parvo vaccination is included in my adoption fee.
Please call Sampson County Animal Control at 910-5928493. Tell them you saw me in PawPrints!

Hi there, my name is
Rebound! I’m a 1-year-old
Lab/Shepherd mix boy who
was once running out of
time at Animal Control.
Columbus Humane Society
knows a life worth saving
when they see one, so they
got me out of there and into
a foster home. They say
I’m a sweet, big old goof of
a boy who needs just a bit
of training and guidance to
know what is expected of
me. I’m a true sweetheart who is looking for a second
chance at life. I’m neutered, vaccinated and on heartworm
prevention. I love to play, so it’s thought I would probably
chase a cat. I don’t dislike them - I just find them intriguing!
My sweet, expressive face could greet you every morning
and we could work together to develop expectations of
good behavior, plentiful food, a warm place to sleep and
some 70’s rock on the radio. For more information about
me, please email jdw7512@yahoo.com or call Columbus

I’m very smart,

I love to run and play

Woohoo! I love to run and play. I’ve got lots of energy. It’s
partly because I’m still young, 15-months-old, and partly
because I’m Border Collie/Aussie Shepherd mix. My name
is Penny and I was adopted from Pender County, but the
lady who adopted me said that I was too active, so she took
me to Paws Place. I’m up to date on all of my shots and
have been spayed. I love car rides and I’m reasonably well
behaved. I just need the right family to adopt me – probably one with children that I can run around with in a fencedin yard. If you think we could be a great match, please call
Paw’s Place at 910-845-7297 and tell them so!

PHOENIX LANDING FOUNDATION
PENDER ENDANGERED ANIMAL RESCUE
My name is Snuggy and I
am an Umbrella Cockatoo
posing for you with my
beautiful plumage in full
display! I am approximately 30-years-old. My
current family believes I
am a female. I have been
with them for 10-years but
circumstances are forcing
them to seek a new loving
home for me. I eat a
healthy diet of pellets, NutriBerries and fresh foods. Some of my favorites are corn,
bananas, strawberries and I will even eat chicken! Like all
cockatoos, I need frequent baths and will perch in the
shower while my owner is showering; I enjoy getting
sprayed with a mist from a spray bottle. I have not spoken
words yet but I can meow like a cat and bark like a dog! I
have earned my name because I like to cuddle and snuggle
with my owner. I can be extremely loud at times, so I need
a home where that will not be a problem (no apartments!) I
need a new owner who has had previous experience with
handling large parrots. Won't you consider giving me either
a temporary foster or long term adoptive home? I urgently
need a new place to stay as soon as possible. To adopt/
foster me or another of the many parrots of all species who
are awaiting homes, contact Phoenix Landing at
www.phoenixlanding.org (click on the link for adoption/
foster), call 866-749-5634 or you can send an email to
phoenixlanding@earthlink.net. Please check our website
regularly for local events by clicking on the "EVENTS" tab.
I’m Roxy, a red nose Pit Bull
but please don’t let my breed
scare you. I am very loving
and will be a great addition to
your family. Last year I had
been placed with a loving
family and they had a youngster and a newborn that
joined us after I was adopted.
So I have been around kids.
The reason I came back to
the rescue was because my
owner is in the military and
my new family was shipped overseas. I am sad about that.
If you are interested in adopting me, you can email
dogadoption1@gmail.com or call me at PEAR. The
number is 910-675-0867.
CAPE FEAR RESCUE LEAGUE
My name is Scooter and
I was born May 2011.
My mom was an
"American Bulldog" but I
have no idea who’s my
dad. I am just a very
loveable guy who loves
all other dogs. I have
been around cats and I
love to play soccer and I
like to take dips in the water. I'm crate and house-trained.
I recently graduated from the "New Leash On life" Prison
Program where the inmates train the dogs in Obedience
and some Agility. There were three certified trainers who
would go to the prison every week to help train and to oversee the inmates who were doing the training. I have my
AKC (American Kennel Club) certificate and I scored very
high during my testing. I'm up to date on all shots, neutered, heartworm free and on monthly heartworm/flea prevention. Open up your heart and give me a furever home
by calling Pat at 910-640-1505.
FUREVER FRIENDS ANIMAL RESCUE
Hello my name is
Miss Katie. I am a
4-year-old female
Retriever and Hound
mix. I was wandering
the streets very hungry and not feeling
well when I was rescued. I am heartworm positive and the
nice folks at Furever Friends will provide for my treatment.
I just need a loving home and someone to care for me. I
love to be around humans and animals, I’m as gentle and
sweet as can be, I’m crate-trained and I have some leashtraining. Please give me a chance at a better life than the
one I had. I promise you will not be sorry. For more info,
call Furever Friends Animal Rescue at 910-383-2100.
CAPE FEAR HOUSE RABBIT SOCIETY
Hi, I’m Boots and I’m really cute!
My foster mom named me Boots
because my black markings on my
feet look like I’m wearing little black
boots. I was living outside under
someone’s house trying to find
enough food to eat while keeping
away from predators like hawks and
feral cats. I am so happy indoors in
my foster home where I can finally
relax and eat all I want! I am very
sweet and friendly and would love to
find a forever home indoors like the
one I am in right now. I weigh 5 pounds and am neutered.
Call 910-471-7854 or email paula-watkins@ec.rr.com to
adopt me. You can also visit www.capefearrabbits.org.

ONSLOW PARTNERS FOR ANIMAL WELFARE
Hi, my name is Odie and I'm a Bulldog. A nice man found me one day
by the docks where I had been abandoned. I was very hungry, had lots of
fleas and ticks all over me and had not
been loved. My foster mom and dad
took me in and are giving me lots of
love and attention. The vet thinks I'm
about 8-months-old and I have been
fully vetted. I'm really a happy-golucky boy who loves to play with other
dogs of all sizes. I can be a food hog
so I have to eat in my crate. I'm crate-trained and have
done extremely well potty-training. For more info on how
you can adopt me, please call Louria at 910-330-5238
or visit www.petfinder.com/shelters/NC728.html.
A SHELTER FRIEND
Gretel is my name, and yes, there
once was a Hansel. He was
adopted into a loving forever home,
but they only wanted him! I am
heartbroken and don’t understand
why my friend has been blessed
while I am all alone. I am a good
girl, a gentle girl, with richly-colored
markings and the soulful eyes of a
Walker Hound. I am spayed and
vaccinated. As you look at my picture remember, no one
will ever love you like a dog who was once abandoned.
Call Denise at 910-862-1728 and I will spend the rest of my
life making sure you never regret it. Visit us online at
AShelterFriend.org and www.facebook.com/ashelterfriend.
PAWSITIVE PARTNERS PRISON PROGRAM
Can you tell I’m taking a bow? This
was on stage at my graduation from
obedience training with the Pawsitive
Partners Prison Program. I can also
balance a treat on my nose and lots
of other stuff I learned. I’m not sure
why I don’t have a home yet - I am a
super great dog and very smart. I’m
sure you can tell in the photo that I’m
trying very hard to do what my trainer
wants. My name is Dakota and I’m a
2-year-old male Lab mix. I had a
home before and was too rambunctious for the mom because she also
had a couple of kids….don’t understand why? We were just
having fun running around and chasing each other all the
time. Anyway, If you’d like me for your own just give
Monica a call at 910-297-1338 or adopt@montyshome.org.
Better yet, fill out an application at www.montyshome.org.
ONSLOW COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER
Hello, my name
is Dallas
(A058280) and
I’m in need of
assistance. I
recently ended
up at the Animal
Shelter due to no
fault of my own
but none the less
I’m here. So
even though this
is a nice place
(albeit NOT the Hilton) and folks take care of me here, it is
very noisy due to having lots of roommates and some
aren’t as endearing and congenial as I am. I’d truly like to
have a family of my own to take care of again. I’m a terrific
female Shetland Sheepdog mix and have lots of special
qualities. I’m house-trained, loving, gentle, and good with
kids and other animals. I’m the greatest companion ever.
I just want the chance to make your family happy with my
presence. So stop by the Onslow County Animal Shelter
and ask for me. They’ll gladly bring me out to spend some
time with you and by the time I’m finished with our visit,
you’ll know you can’t possibly leave here without me. The
shelter is located at 244 Georgetown Road in Jacksonville
and you may call 910-455-0182 for more information.
OPERATION TOPCAT
Hello there! My
name is Whiskers
and I was dumped in
a restaurant parking
lot - right out of my
owner's van. I originally belonged to
someone who had
me spayed, vaccinated and also microchipped. They gave
me to a neighbor
when they moved
because I really didn't
like their older cat. After I was dumped, the restaurant
contacted Topcat and asked that they take me in because
the restaurant is on a busy highway and it wasn’t safe.
Because of my mircrochip, Topcat was able to trace down
my original owner who declined to take me back. Having
been left by two families, I am looking for a safe and loving forever home. One where I can live out my life without fear of being abandoned again. I am 4-years young, I
love people, and I like to be petted and want attention.
Maybe you could find it in your heart to adopt me and
care for me. I deserve to be loved. I would be best as
the only cat. To find out more about me, send an email to
otopcatnc@aol.com or call 910-200-0612.
7656 A-B Market Street - Wilmington, NC 28411
Hey there, I’m
Joker! I arrived at Paws
Place from
Pender
County. They
say the way I
was living with
30 or more
dogs was not
normal, who
knew?!? I’ve
gotten used to
being around
less dogs, but
I think I would
like it if my
family had another dog for me to hang around with. Possibly a small dog. I get nervous in new situations. I have this
thing on my eye, they call it cherry eye. Paws Place is going to have it removed and then I’ll be as good as new. I
kind of look like a Beagle/Jack Russell mix. I’m only
2-years-old and 20 pounds. Is there a kind, loving person
who will be very patient with me? If so, contact Paws Place
at 910-845-7297 and let’s arrange a get-together!
Hey, wanna have
some fun? Well
then, I’m your girl!
My name is
Jeckel and I love
to have fun.
Wanna jog, skateboard, bicycle?
Do you like agility? How about fly
ball or dock diving? You name it,
I’m up for it!! You
see, I’m barely a
year old, only 30
pounds and a
Terrier mix who
just loves action.
I am well behaved though, because I’ve graduated from
nine weeks of training with the Pawsitive Partners Prison
Program. I haven’t found the right home yet - you see,
they are quite particular since I’m such a great dog. Fill
out your application at www.montyshome.org. If you have
any questions, call Monica at 910-297-1338 or email
adopt@montyshome.org
I am sponsored by State Farm Rob Cutting Agency in

SHAR-PEI RESCUE OF VIRGINIA
Hi, I'm Bogey, a sweet, young
male Shar-Pei. I'm a friendly,
energetic boy and love to play
ball. If there is no one to play
with, I will throw my ball off the
picnic table and chase it!
Want to play with me? Sometimes I hop around on two legs
like a kangaroo...everyone
thinks this is very funny. I also
love to run, run, run; so a
fenced yard would be best for
me. I am friendly with everyone and other dogs. I would love a home that has kids
and/or other dogs to play with because I love to play with
anyone or anything. I got to go camping on Memorial Day
weekend with my foster family. It was SO much fun. I was
a great boy travelling, got to stay in a trailer with two other
dogs, and even met some other Shar-Pei that I got to play
with. My foster mom says that I am one of the sweetest
dogs she has ever met! To learn more about me, see more
pictures, or fill out an application, please check out my profile at www.sharpeirescueofva.org. You can also call 609494-0020 or email info@sharpeirescueofva.org for more
information. Hope to see you soon!
CAROLINA POODLE RESCUE
My name is Bailey Pel and
I am a wonderful, happy,
little Poodle and Chinese
Crested Powder Puff mix
and would love to mix right
into your home. My beginnings were really tough as I
came from a Missouri
puppy mill, but thanks to my
foster mom, I am learning all about this great, big world. I
am still a bit shy with strangers, but warm up with a lot of
treats and "good boy." I am house-trained, leash-trained,
crate-trained and love to ride in the car. Walks are also a
favorite. My ideal home is one that has another dog for a
friend. I really don’t understand small children, but love
older, responsible kids. If you are the family I have been
looking for, please visit www.carolinapoodlerescue.org or
call 864-489-3559. Sure hope I hear from you soon!
COASTAL CAROLINA BOSTON TERRIER RESCUE
My name is Clyde and I’m a friendly
and loving Boston Terrier boy. An old
eye injury destroyed the sight in my
right eye but the vision loss does not
slow me down one bit! I weigh 26
pounds and am best suited in a home
with adults, older children, and pets
who do not antagonize or try to engage me. I am crate and housetrained and I like to run the BT500 in
the backyard! Could you look past
my eye injury and look deep into my
loving personality? I am waiting on
that special loving forever home where I can be the puppy
that I never had the chance to be. Please contact CCBTR
at ccbtr@fastmail.fm or call 252-633-0987.
Adoption Celebration
Wheee, wanna play
with me? My name is
Lola and I’m a 4-yearold Shepherd/Lab mix.
I am a sweet-loving gal
and I generally get
along well with larger,
docile male dogs. I am
in a wonderful foster
home with Sunburst
Foundation, but I really
want a home of my
own. I love to run and
play in the yard and
snuggle inside with my
humans. I am housetrained, crate-trained,
up to date on vaccines and on heartworm prevention. I do
take glucosamine for an old cruciate ligament tear but, as
you can see, I get around just fine! When you adopt me, I
will come to you with a microchip and Smart ID tag from
Best Friends. Please contact Sunburst Foundation for a
“Meet and Greet” with me. Call 910-622-0011 or visit
www.sunburstfoundationofwilmington.org and fill out an
adoption application.
My name is Ralph and I
am one of last year's
puppies who was returned when I was 8 to
10-months-old. You
see, that happens A
LOT. I am good with
cats, dogs, kids and
love to play, play, play.
I am working on leashtraining and some other
basic commands. I’m
not a cute puppy anymore and that's a setback, but I am now full
grown and you will know
exactly what you are
getting if you adopt me.
If you have a lonely dog
who needs some exercise, I’m your boy. I
would love another dog
to tumble and play with.
For more information on me or to inquire about the adoption process, call Adopt-An-ANGEL at 910-392-0557.
I am sponsored by Hank and Grace Harrington.
Thank you!
I am sponsored by Top Toad in the Cotton Exchange in
Downtown Wilmington, NC. Thank you!
Are you looking for a companion to take on outings to the beach or
park? Pick me! I’m Dixie and I love doing stuff like that! I’m a playful
girl, but I still know my commands. In fact, I’m sitting on command in my
photo. (Just between you and me, I was waiting for them to throw me a
tennis ball!) I’m a young girl, 4-years of age, and I’m a total sweetheart.
There’s not a mean bone in my body. I’m house-trained, love affection
and can’t get enough hugs or kisses. I’m a Terrier mix who is great with
children and other dogs (but no cats, please.) I hope after reading this
that you can see I’d be an excellent companion, ready-made to move on
in with you and start making happy memories! For adoption information,
please call SOAR at 910-457-6340. They’ll be happy to give you driving directions so that you can hop in the car and come meet me!
