Page 8 January 23, 2014 Pets Without Partners Purrrfect Companions To meet these and other canine cuties, visit us during our regular adoption event this Saturday. Or grab your pooch and join us for tail-waggin’ fun at the Pet Expo (Long Beach Convention Center), Saturday, February 1 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission is free! Dogs must be leashed with proof of vaccines. Foxy is an all-American dog that makes you want to go camping, hiking or just take a long walk on the beach. This little American Eskimo mix is fully grown at one-year-old and is a great size at 15 pounds. Foxy is affectionate, charming and a very loving dog. She is hardy, playful and is excellent with children and everyone she meets. With her willingness to please, she will be easy to train and will do excellently in obedience classes--which we highly recommend with all of our young dogs. Foxy would love to be part of your family and would benefit from a consistent and confident “pack leader.” She loves her crate and is 100 percent crate-trained. Foxy is spayed, current on vaccinations, dewormed and microchipped. Our darling little Heidi came to us as a stray. What a find this girl is! We rarely have ever had a sweeter dog than this one. Heidi absolutely loves everyone she meets and has great play manners with all other dogs. She is currently in foster care where we have learned she is housebroken and uses the doggie door with ease. We estimate her to be about 18 months old. She is fully grown at 15 pounds. Heidi is spayed, current on vaccinations, de-wormed, microchipped, and fine with all other dogs. Connor is a beautiful fawn-colored Mastiff and a gem of a dog. He was born on February 27, 2007 and was given up after his family’s daughter was diagnosed with leukemia. We love the big boys and we were happy to take this well-behaved guy into rescue. We can’t say enough good things about Connor. He loves everyone he meets, he grew up with kids and is happy to have them in his family. He is gentle, loving, sweet, calm, mellow, easygoing and fabulous in every way. Connor was raised as an inside dog, is totally housebroken and Looking for a new best friend? Pretty as picture, take a look at these purr-fect partners… Carmen is a stunning cat who will grace your home with her beauty. If you are looking for a sweet cat who is gorgeous to look at, won’t bother anyone or anything, and gets along with any resident cats, then Carmen is your girl! Carmen will sleep on the bed if you’d like and just generally hang out in whatever room you are in. If she could have a safe cat enclosure or an enclosed yard with cat-proof fencing, Carmen loves to roll in the grass and that’s when her playful side will come out. She needs to be given time to adjust to a new place and new people. Once she is settled in, Carmen will ask for a few gentle pets from you--her new best friend. Boots has adorable greenish eyes, a sleek black tuxedo and tiny white paws. He is very playful and gets along with every kitty he meets. Well-socialized and affectionate, Boots loves to try and run off with his toys, growling to himself once he’s caught it. If you call for him, Boots will come running, tail up, meowing in response. This sweet baby is the perfect addition to any home. Since he is so young still, Boots cannot be an only kitty and must be adopted either with a youthful companion or into a home with a young resident kitty with whom he can romp. Ashton is a silky, soft kitty who will beg for belly rubs, rolling around with his feet in the air, Happy Tails Bandit is a sweet little love of a dog with rockin’ airplane ears. He sat patiently watching other dogs come and go as they were adopted, waiting for his forever family to find him. A family that had previously adopted through Animals Rule wanted Bandit to feel the love of a home and family as he waited for adoption and asked to foster him. Then, what rescuers sometimes call a “foster failure” occurred. Translation: the foster family fell so in love with him that they adopted Bandit themselves! Here’s a look at their emails that led to Bandit’s “Happy Tail.” “Hi. We have been following Bandit on your website for some time and it is breaking our hearts that he is not with a family. (We adopted Spencer from Animals Rule in March of 2012.) We would love to foster Bandit. Is this a possibility?” Then two weeks later on December 12, Bandi (left), home at last! is used to sleeping in his big, comfy dog bed. He walks superbly on leash and just loves to be with you wherever you are no matter what you are doing. We prefer to place him as an only dog, or he can go with another large female dog. He is not cat-safe. Connor is neutered, current on vaccinations, de-wormed and microchipped. To learn more about these and other wonderful dogs, visit our website at www.animalsrule. org.

He is learning to use the doggie door. He plays and snuggles with the other two dogs--so fun to watch them. He even goes to the toy box and picks out toys to snuggle with. Loves to be held and we take him with us wherever we can. There doesn’t seem to be any treat or food issues between the three of them. He is warming up to my husband… even goes up to him to be picked up and loved. We brought him with us on Thanksgiving. He let my dad and brother hold him. Of course, he loved all the women. Needless to say, Bandit is a perfect name because he has stolen our hearts. We would like to formally adopt him… Thanks, Bianca.” When you adopt a “pet without a partner,” you will forever make a difference in their life and they are sure to make a difference in yours. • cooing at you. He has a lot of energy and loves racing around with his fellow foster friends. Ashton is a bit unsure when people are moving around, so a calm household would be best for him. However, he loves to sleep on the bed with you and comes racing when it’s time for his wet food. Ashton is a super sweet boy looking for that special home where he will have a kitty to play with and a peaceful home to continue to blossom into the lover he truly is.
