Friday's Friend! Cat Adoption, PetConnect Rescue

Cat Adoption


Meows! Happy Friday! I paw that you have had a grand week! Ours has been unusually busy! Meows, I like that because it means I get to have more peace and quiet around the house. Then, when my humans come home, it's cuddle time! And cuddling with me is always a meowingly purring good time! My human's stress melts away!

Cat Adoption
Do you have a cat to cuddle with? If not, my friend "Cat Lady" from PetConnect Rescue brought by a beautiful young cat looking for her "Forever Home!" with humans to love who will love her too! Meet the Queen... Queen Elizabeth, that is!

Though Queens don't typically share their age with the peasants, Elizabeth is happy to share that she is around 1 1/2 years old. She is proud to say that she is good with other cats, dogs, and mini-humans! 

Meows, if you want a cat who will always be near, she will follow you from room to room. Purrs, she will settle nearby when you settle down. 

Pawingly, if she's out of sight for more than a moment, she'll soon reappear with her favorite toy pleading with you that it's pawlaytime! She'll have this pleading look in her eyes that you may not be able to resist. Paws, it's healthy for you to take time to pawlay with a cat! Meows.

If you appreciate gravity-defying leaps, swishing a fishing pole toy, and cuddling, Queen Elizabeth might be the pawsome cat for you. 

The Queen raised five kittens that have found their "Forever Homes!," so she is looking for hers. 

Meowings, Queen Elizabeth is spayed, fully vaccinated, and negative for FelV/FIV. She is ready to find her furever home today.

Purrs, if you would like to learn about adopting a cat from PetConnect Rescue, pawlease visit there Cat Adoption Guide.

If you would like to meet, or pawssibly adopt, the Queen, her majesty Queen Elizabeth that is, pawlease complete the PetConnect Rescue Cat Adoption Application.

Paws, do you like cats but are unable to adopt? Meows, how about supporting Queen Elizabeth financially? Donations will assist with Her Majesty's care. Any extra funds will be used to assist other cats at PetConnect Rescue. Interested, pawlease donate HERE! Donations are tax-deductible as permitted by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Friday's Friend! Dog Adoption, The Humane Society of Northern Virginia

 Dog Adoption


Woofs! Happy Friday! What a long week it has been for us. I didn't think the weekend would ever get here. Now that it is, I'm barkingly looking forward to taking a long walk with my human, curling up with a good book or two, and just being lazy! You don't know what you are missing if you don't have a dog to hang out with!

(C) 2023, from The Dog's Paw!
I have had the most pawsome pawleasure to catch up with my friend "Miss Sherry" from the Humane Society of Northern Virginia this past week. She and her team of volunteers have been incredibly busy rescuing dogs and cats. She brought by two dogs, Kiko and Sanyu, for you to consider adopting. They are looking for their "Forever Home!" with humans to love who will love them too! Paws, though they will be pawsitively happy to be adopted together, they can be adopted separately too.

Paws, I find this bit of information interesting: Kiko's name means hope. Sanyu's name means happiness.

Woofs, Kiko and Sanyu are two five-month-old foxhound mix puppies rescued from a shelter in the south. 

Barkingly, as adorably cute as they are, they have had zero interest. It could be the increase in rehome requests or the fact that shelters and rescues have become overcrowded. Paws, it'd be home to believe that no one would be interested in these two pawsomely beautiful dogs. 

Kiko and Sanyu are playful so they will need an active family or companion who will continue their training and socialization. A home with a big yard would make them pawsitively happy. 

The pups are great with other dogs. Since they are young, and everything is so new to them, they are still figuring out boundaries. Training will assist with that - same with all puppies!
 
Barkingly, we girl dogs don't like talking about weight, paws, Kiko and Sanyu may end up weighing around forty-five pounds or more! Paws, that's forty-five pounds of lovin's and affection! 

These two are very friendly, barks, Sanyu is the more social, and Kiko, is the more excitable. They need to find their "Forever Home!" sooner than later so their humans can have the pawsome pawleasure of enjoying watching them grow and blossom. 

To learn about adopting a dog from the Humane Society of Northern Virginia, pawlease visit their Adoption Guide.

If you would like to meet Kiko or Sanyu, or both, or pawssibly adopt, pawlease complete the Humane Society of Northern Virginia Dog Adoption Application

Woofs! Do you pawsitively love dogs but are unable to adopt? Barkingly, how about supporting Kiko or Sanyu, or both, financially? Donations will assist with their care. Any extra funds will be used to assist other dogs at the Humane Society of Northern Virginia. Interested, pawlease donate HERE! Donations are tax-deductible as permitted by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Friday's Friend! Cat Adoption, The Humane Society of Loudoun County

Cat Adoption

 


Meows! Happy Friday! My pawsome friend from the Humane Society of Loudoun County brought two adorably cute cats who are looking for their "Forever Home!" with humans to love who will love them too! Meet Mitzi and Maxim!

Cat Adoption
Meows! Purringly, these two darlings are friendly, affectionate, playful, smart, funny, lovable, and sweet. They are house-trained. Paws, they would do good in a home with other cats. 

Maxim is an orange and white tabby male. He is all about pawlaying and being silly! Paws, he likes to snuggle or sleep on a warm lap after roady pawlaying with his sister Mitzi. He is pawticularly close his sister.

Purrs! PURRS!! Maxim's purr machine is easy to turn on to high volume. Meowingly, he loves watching birds and doing the "hunting chatter" to show his excitement. 

Mitzi is the pawsomely adorable calico face and brown tabby body. Pawingly, she has the cutest face, bright eyes, and a little smudge on her nose! 
Cat Adoption

Meows, Mitzi is a sweetheart! She loves pawlaying, especially with her brother, and watches everything that's going on! She is pawsomely curious. 

Mitzi pawsitively loves sneaking up on her brother Maxim and attacking him. 

When she is not pawlaying or exploring, the pair will groom each other and take naps together. Mitzi purrs and loves being petted. 

Meowingly, this adorable pair, Mitzi and Maxim, would love to be adopted together. Paws, but the Humane Society of Loudoun County could separate them for the right circumstances.

Vaccinations are current, and they are spayed/neutered.

They have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Happy Thanksgiving 2023!

 

(C) 2023, from The Dog's Paw!



Woofs! Meows! Bark!
Dear God!
Today, we pause to
thank You for the
many blessings you have given us!
We thank You, God, for our humans
who adopted us and have taken care of us all these years!
Woofs, Meows, Barks, this year, 
we are pawticularly thankful for our Uncle Ed, who
came to visit us for this Thanksgiving week.
He kept Dad out of our hairs the entire week 
giving us lots of peace and quiet. 
Barks and meows,
We thank You for a pawsome home
that we get to live every single day
of our pawsome lives.
We thank you for the pawsome view of nature
that surrounds us everywhere we look. 
We're especially thankful for how happy it makes Dad
every time he goes outside.
He's pawticularly happy to take Abby and Noah 
for walks enjoying the beautiful scenery. 
WOOFS! MEOWS! Barks!
We thank you, God, for the food that we receive every single day,
and for the delectably delicious treats we get too!
Abby and me are very thankful for our fenced-in backyard 
where we can run and pawlay and dig holes and pawlay fetch and chase and run the fence
after the deer and foxes pawlaying on the other side. 
Lord God, thank you for our toys too!
We love to pawlay with them all day long,
and all night, too (MEOWS)!
Meows, I am especially thankful for Mommy-cuddles. 
I love waking Mommy up very early in the mornings
jumping up on the bed to cuddle for a few hours 
before she goes to work, then, again at night
to help her fall asleep.
Woofs, me and Noah love curling up beside Dad 
every night and waking him in the morning with doggy kisses!
Paws, we are barkingly happy for the pawsome humans 
who let Abby and me pawlay every Tuesday at doggy daycare!
Barks, I am pawticularly thankful for Theresa at Mahogany Ridge
who is training me, Abby, how to handle Dad.
She is howling talented with her knowledge of dogs and humans.
And, we thank you God for all the human volunteers
who have worked diligently, barking and meowing,
to help homeless dogs and cats find their 
"Forever Home!" with humans to love who will 
love them too!  

Lord,
Pawlease teach us to learn to be thankful each and every day
of our barking, or meowing, lives.
We are especially thankful for the
gift of eternal life found in Jesus Christ.
Amen!
Noah, Samson, and Abby
