MEOWS! Happy Friday! I hope you have some pawsome weekend pawlans. May adopt a cat? One who will keep you company?! My friend "Miss Sherry" from Advocates for Abused and Abandoned Pets (A3P) has brought by two cats for you to consider adopting!

Meet Violet! She is a gorgeous and quite affectionate. With her kittens finding their "Forever Homes!" she is looking for hers!

Purrs, Violet was a pawsomely grand mama cat and is pawnderful with humans. She is learning other cats can be cool too! Paws, she will be happy to be your one-and-only-cat-that-is! If not, she would probably opt to be the alpha!

Violet loves giving head butts and being handled.  Purrs, when she's had enough she saunters off to someplace comfortable to stretch! 

Paws, meows, if you would like to meet Violet, inquire about cat adoption or Sponsor her, please contact a3p.petlovers@gmail.com.

Paws and meows, meet Cinderella!

Cinderella is a very sweet cat who loves laying on her human's feet! She will lay across your computer keyboard to steal all of your attention for herself! She is a cuddler and will make a delightful companion.

Cinderella is living comfortably with other cats but occasionally makes it known she's not to be messed with.

 WOOF! WOOF! Barks! Happy Friday! My friend "Lab Lady" from Lab Rescue brought by two sweetheart bond-buddies who must be adopted together. Meet Lily and Suzi! Lily is a Black Labrador Retriever and Suzi is a Cattle Dog! BARKS! A pawsomely generous donor has offered to pay the first $50 of the pairs already discounted adoption fee!

Barks! The pawsome pair are looking for their "Forever Home!" with humans to love who will love them in a suburban or rural single-family house with no fence requirement! WOOF!!Lily is the leader of the pair! She is a happy girl and enjoys seeing what's coming next in life. She has a big smile, gives big kisses along with her big pawsonality. Her motto is "Eat, Love, Play, Sleep," WOOF! REPEAT! Barks!

Lily has the typical Labrador Retriever appetite eating her meals in minutes! She will catch Cheerios in mid-air when tossed!

Suzi is a laid-back girl who enjoys the quiet neighborhood she watches from the window seat. She likes to nap in a sunny spot!

Suzi prefers eating a few bites of breakfast but spends the day grazing. She lets Cheerios bounce off her nose to the floor. She doesn't understand a Labrador Retriever's willingness to do anything for food.
On walks, the pair couldn't be more different! Lily knows every sidewalk and path has a story to tell, She loves reading both sides as she sniffs zig-zaggingly along the way! WOOF! Suzi is more of a straight walker easy on the leash!
Paws, ball-playing is the same, both enjoy it differently! Lily is the tennis ball retriever while Suzi never puts a ball in her mouth!

Swimming? Barks, Lily loves the water and is an excellent swimmer, will step in every puddle, while Suzi isn't built for water and prefers playing chase with other dogs!

Paws, Lily and Suzi will sleep until their human wakes them in the morning. They quietly hang out during the day until their lunchtime playdate with their buddy! They have enjoy spurts and play hard and love their naps too. They love cuddling on the couch with their human watching TV, one on each side enjoying affection and attention!
Woofs! To learn more about adopting a Labrador Retriever from Lab Rescue, pawlease visit their Adoption Guide.
Barks, if you would like to meet Lily and Suzi or apply to pawssibly adopt them, pawlease complete the Lab Rescue Dog Adoption Application.

Do you love Labrador Retrievers, woof, but are not able to adopt? Paws, how about considering sponsoring Lily and Suzi? Sponsoring these two provides financial resources for their food, care, and Veterinary needs. Any remaining funds after their adoption will go to assisting other Labrador Retrievers at Lab Rescue. Interested? Pawlease visit Sponsor!

"WOOF! Barks! I started writing "from The Dog's Paw" several years ago with the intent of sharing about adopting a dog, what to consider before adopting, size matters - you barkingly know right, the breed can matter too, how to bring a dog home, how to prepare your home, training tips, and the like along with humorous stories, dog and cat cartoons, and pawlenty of stories about my adventures as a dog to my humans.

Paws, over the next while, I will be pawing several posts for you about the many considerations to adopting a dog. WOOFS! Barks! Pawlease feel free to email me at thedog@fromthedogspaw.com if you have questions or topics you would like for me to paw or bark or woof about!" 

"MEOWS! HISS! HISS! WHAT ABOUT CATS NOAH!? There are a few things to consider before you adopt a cat too!"

"Paws! WOOF! Samson that's where you will come in... you can purr, meow, and chat about cat adoption and your friends needing 'Forever Homes!'"

WOOF! WOOF! My friend "Miss Sherry" from Advocates for Abused and Abandoned Pets (A3P) brought by two sweet pets for you to meet this week! They are looking for their "Forever Homes!" with humans to love who will love them too. They do not need to be adopted together. Barks.

Meet Cutie Pie! She was surrendered to the Caroline County shelter when her human passed away. Barks, she was surrendered with a horrific skin condition which requires weekly baths and treatment. She is improving but has a little ways to go! Meows.

Cutie Pie's name really fits her in my barkingly humble opinion! She is a sweetheart too. She's around 2-4-years-old and wants nothing more than to hang out with her human!

She is content to be laying on a couch or recliner nearby and will gladly roll over for a belly rub or two.

Paws, Cutie Pie has been fostered with other dogs and fits in just fine!

Woofs, if you are looking for an adorably cute, loving furry friend and are willing to help her get better, pawlease contact "Miss Sherry" at a3p.advocates@gmail.com.

Meows! Purrs! Pawlease meet Lami!

Paws, Sweet Lami is a laid-back all-around mellow kittie!  She is from Roanoke, Virginia but found her way to the Northern Virginia area.

Meows, Lami is one pawsitively beautiful kitten.  She can be a bit shy initially but is now a confident girl living among a dozen or two kittens. 

Meows, Lami is around 2-years-old. Though many kittens her age move around quickly, she hasn't had any interest!

If you would like more information about Lami, pawlease contact a3p.petlovers@gmail.com.

Meows! My friend "Cat Lady" from PetConnect Rescue brought by two kitties for you to meet this week! Jimmy and Peggy! Purrs!

Barks! My friend "Lab Lady" from Lab Rescue brought by a pawsome fella named Goofy! He is a Black Labrador Retriever and around 1-year-old! He has had a few physical challenges in his short life but he is one happy fella and making some great strides.

Goofy is looking for his "Forever Home!" with humans to love who will love him in a rural or suburban single-family house with a fenced yard!

Paws, when Goofy arrived at Lab Rescue four weeks ago, he had a broken jaw with many fractured teeth barely able to open his mouth due to the pain! Now, he can open his mouth wide!

Goofy loves other dogs but he's not allowed to play hard for now. Barkingly, since hs ie feeling better, he is all puppy and wants to play, run, and play with toys. Barks, though he will get there ... paws, he is pawmitted gently and supawvised interactions until his jaw bone is healed. 

Paws, he loves sleeping on a dog bed in an x-pen next to his foster dog brothers! He enjoys snuggling with his humans more than anything! He loves doing that on the couch.

Goofy has a pawsomely great dispawsition! When he is fully recovered, he will be barkingly grand fun!

Woofsters, Goofy is Heartworm Positive. Paws, Heartworm is highly treatable and treatment will be provided, at no cost to the adopter, at one of Lab Rescue's designated vets. Completing Heartworm treatment at the veterinarian designated by the Rescue is a requirement of adoption.  Paws, interested adopters should visit these pages: Lab Rescue - Heartworm and Lab Rescue - Heartworm Protocol to learn the basics of Heartworm treatment.

Barks, Goofy is unknown with cats and approved for mini-humans ages 10 and older.
