My friend "Cat Lady" came by this week with a most pawsomely adorable kitten for you to meet!  A beautiful girl is Madelyn!

Madelyn is a meowly beautiful 12-week-old tortie kitten! She is a sweet girl with a pawsome purr motor!  She is a bit reserved with meeting new humans, meowingly, she is learning to gain trust!  

Madelyn loves playing with kitty toys, climbing cat towers and playing with her wand toy! 

Madelyn loves other kitties and prefers to go to a home with a resident young cat or to be paired up with one of PetConnect Rescue's other singleton kittens! 

Madelyn will do best in a quiet home with humans who have cat experience and enjoy the qualities that a tortie can possess. Once she is comfortable with her home, she will share her purr motor! She will not be good in a home with mini-humans.

Madelyn would pawsitively LOVE to be adopted by a human with a kind heart and the patience to keep bringing her out of her shell.  

Madelyn is up to date on appropriate vaccines and dewormings! 

A note from PetConnect Rescue: The adoption fee for this kitten is $135, which helps with the cost of routine vet care. The fee DOES NOT INCLUDE spay/neuter if the kitten is not already spayed/neutered. If the animal you are adopting is not already spayed/neutered, you will be required to sign a contract legally obligating you to have the animal altered. A $100 spay/neuter deposit is collected to help ensure that the procedure gets done in a timely manner.

Please note that cats adopted through PetConnect Rescue must be indoor only, and may not be declawed (unless already declawed at the time of rescue).

Meowingly, the first step in PetConnect Rescue's approving adoption applicants is to complete a vet check. Vetting of current and past pets is very important so they we will be speaking with the vet(s) listed on your application to ensure that your current and previous pet(s) are kept up to date on vaccines (including rabies), spayed or neutered and examined annually by your vet.

My friend "Lab Lady" from Lab Rescue of L.R.C.P., Inc. came by with several beautiful and handsome Black Labrador's for you to meet.  A few of them I featured in my Fairfax County Times newspaper article, Black Dog Syndrome. Often, what happens, is I run out of space in my article so I am featuring Bella in this week's "Friday's Friend." Meet pawsome Bella!

Bella is looking for a "Forever Home" in a single-family house located in a rural or suburban area.  She has no fence requirement.

Bella thinks being with her human and getting attention is the most pawsome experience! She is an easy-going gal! She is quiet- doesn't bark. Will go outside to play a little but will come back in where it's cool and be with her human. She loves humans? huh?!  WOOF!

Bella is house trained and easy to take care of!  Bella is learning to sit and navigate a doggie door- she is working on walking on a leash.

She would love a home with a family that will give her the love and care she needs!

Watch her video at: Bella!

Bella is good with mini-humans ages 10 and older.  She gets along with other dogs and cats.

WOOF!  A note from Lab Rescue: Bella is being treated for Heartworm. Lab Rescue will provide Bella’s Heartworm treatment, at no cost to the adopter, at one of our designated vets. The requirement to treat the dog at Lab Rescue’s vet is included in the contracts “Heartworm Treatment Addendum”. Adopters are encouraged to speak with the Lab Rescue Heartworm Coordinator prior to adoption to learn more about the treatment process.

If you would like to apply to be the human to this awesome lady named Bella, please complete the Lab Rescue Dog Adoption Application.

I had the pawsome pawleasure to go on a photo shoot with my most pawfect human. We visited the Prince William Animal Shelter with the Prince William Humane Society to find a dog for you to meet this week!

A barkingly pawsome handsome fella is "Tek" who is a brindle and white Pit Bull.  At 3-years-old, he is a healthy and friendly guy.  He seemed to enjoy being outside while my human photographed him.  I noticed he didn't bark or growl while humans were walking by.

Tek is friendly, sweet and very gentle. He knows some of his basic commands like "sit" and "shake." He pulls strongly on a leash.

He seems to do well with other dogs, but it's highly recommended he be introduced to existing dogs in his pawssible new "Forever Home" prior to adoption.

Interested in meeting Tek? Contact the the Prince William County Animal Shelter, 14807 Bristow Rd.. Manassas, VA 20112, (703) 792-6465.
