| O'Rion is a young, handsome blue-nose, tri-colored Staffy mix. He's an obedient dog who looks to his handler for guidance. He responds to hand signals, vocal cues, and knows basic commands. He's an energetic boy who likes to play, and would be best in an indoor home environment where the family would take him on his walks and include him in their activities. He prefers to be inside with the family rather than outdoors, and he'd be okay as an only pet! He certainly does love his down time and his tails wags with even the slightest bit of attention. Meet O'Rion at the Passion for Pitties adoption event this Saturday, May 25th at the Sweetwater Harley-Davidson at 3201 Hoover Avenue in National City from 9 AM-2 PM. O'Rion is presently in a temporary foster home and it's very important that he find a suitable foster or adopter right away. If you are interested in meeting this wonderful boy, please go to PassionForPittiess.com to fill out an application. |

| Scotty and Rudy are two kittens available for adoption from the El Cajon Animal Shelter. Scotty is 8-weeks-old, and Rudy is 3 months. Scotty and his siblings have been in foster care since they were 2 weeks old, and were just returned to the shelter. They were discovered by a gardener while he was weed whacking and found them hiding....that's why one has part of his ear missing. Meanwhile, Rudy was turned in by his previous owner due to allergies. Both kittens are examples of the many sweet, affectionate kittens available at the shelter. It's kitten season, by the way, and already it's getting out of control...so please spay and neuter any cats you own, and any ferals in your neighborhood. All shelter pets are checked for diseases, have their first set of shots, and are microchipped. The El Cajon shelter is located at 1275 North Marshall Street. |

| Higgins and Radar are Sharpei mix puppies...one looks mixed with rottie, and the other looks a little like a cattle dog/sharpie. They're 10-week-old brothers who hope to be about 65-pounds when they're all grown up. They've been in a foster home since they were just 10 days old, so they've had a good start with a caring family. They were even bottle fed for the first 4 weeks. These boys are crate-trained and working every day on house-training. Higgins and Radar have been raised around other big dogs and lots of people, so they're very well-socialized. They'll make great companions for nearly any lucky family who is seriously committed to investing the time and effort into making them wonderful adult dogs. Puppy classes are must, and someone is going to have to be home a lot during their early months. Call Aussies & Others if you're interested in finding out more, at 619-469-3748. |

| Orvis is a 3-month-old puppy who was rescued along with his siblings from a family who let their dog get pregnant, and then couldn't find anyone who wanted the pups. Animal Rescuers Without Borders took the six puppies, and managed to find loving homes for three of them, but there's still three boys left. Their mom was a very small 35-pound Shepherd mix, and daddy was the neighbors purebred Saint Bernard. So with that in mind, Orvis and his brothers are expected to reach about 60-pounds when full-grown. Orvis is a sweet, loving, smart puppy who enjoys car rides, loves to be around other dogs, he's crate-trained, and walks well on a leash! His foster family is still working with the puppies on housetraining, but that's to be expected. Oh, and another big plus, he's good with cats.

Dax and his buddies Mylo and Adele are the three dogs who traveled with the homeless man for years, until he realized they needed flea treatment, vet care, and food which he couldn't provide. So Animal Rescuers Without Borders welcomed the trio into our foster program where they are thriving. At just 20-pounds, Dax will make a great family dog as he loves all people, including children. He's also good with other nice dogs. He walks well on a leash and rides happily in a car. |

| Rescued along with her sister, Neri is a sweet outgoing fun black Labrador Retriever mix puppy. She and her twin sister Mora are small for a labs, so they may be mixed with terrier.

| Queen for a day… But it didn’t last…Baby was relinquished by a family who had adopted her just seven months ago along with her feline companion after their owner died. They said that this regal beauty did not adapt well to her new home living with two resident cats plus her feline companion. Our experience of this green-eyed charmer is nothing but pure sweetness. Baby comes to say hello, winding her way through your legs soliciting pets. She will follow you around the cat community room, jumping up or down from a cat tree to be near you. She is getting on fine with the other cats and they seem intrigued by her calm demeanor and wise attitude. At 10+ years old, Baby has obviously seen a lot and nothing seems to faze her. All she asks is for a loving home with a comfortable place to sleep, lots of pets and attention and the occasional cat treat. In return, Baby will give you unconditional love and be a delightful feline companion. You can meet Baby at the Coronado Animal Care Facility any day between 9:00am and 4:00pm (except holidays). The Coronado Animal Care Facility is located at 1395 First Street at the south end of the Ferry Landing complex. If you are interested in adopting Baby, you must first complete a Cat Adoption Application and meet with a PAWS of Coronado Cat Adoption Counselor. If you cannot adopt at this time, you may want to consider fostering Baby. Fostering gives the cat a chance to live in a loving home and it gives the foster family an opportunity to help an animal in need. |

| Adam was rescued by a good Samaritan when she noticed him scavenging in trash bins behind an auto mechanic shop. The employees mentioned he was born to one of their dogs years ago and was the only one still around. They fed him at night and he was allowed back into the junk yard to "guard", however they asked her if she wanted to take him because he was not a very good guard dog. He was boarded at vet for 3 weeks until a foster home became available. His foster family says he does well with female dogs, puppies and cats, but he doesn't seem to trust adult male dogs. Adam is a gentle boy who loves to spend time with humans. He gives the best bear hugs and kisses. He does well in a crate and walks well on leash. Car rides are not his favorite thing as he never really learned how to jump in and out on his own. He's a handsome dog who will be a great companion and family dog, even if he's not good enough for a junk yard. Please call Animal Rescuers Without Borders if you're interested in adopting or even fostering Adam until a permanent home can be found. |

| Fritz is a Shepherd/Doxie mix who was placed in a shelter at the age of 2 months, and by 8 months of age, he had still not been adopted. So the shelter contacted Animal Rescuers Without Borders to get him into a foster home before it was too late. His foster family says he was so shy when he first arrived, but now he's blossomed into a very loyal, cuddly, loving young dog who loves to play with other dogs and is even ok with their indoor cat. He can still be a little shy with small children, so a family with kids 12 and older would be best. He's just 30-pounds, and has experience staying in doggie daycare, and going to off-leash dog parks. He's crate trained, good on a leash and doesn't bark much. Please contact Animal Rescuers Without Borders to schedule a meet-and-greet this week. |

| Dali is a black and white tuxedo with long hair and he's just a year and a half old.

He's a personable, loving, cuddly guy who is known for being incredibly easy-going. He'll lie upside-down in your arms and act like he's a rag doss, and when the volunteers pick him up off the cat tree, he'll drape himself over their shoulders to be helpful. Dali is so friendly and playful, he's an absolute delight and will make someone an excellent companion. He can be a little bossy with other cats, and would probably be best as an only cat as he loves having all the attention. He tolerates dogs, though he'd be happier without them, and with his laid-back nature, he'll be fine with kids. Although his life didn't start out so well, Dali got lucky...now the Rescue House would like to show you what a great companion he can be. Call them today to find out about meeting Dali and one of their many adoption locations throughout the county, or about one of their special upcoming adoption events. |

| Merry was found in Coronado as a stray. She was covered in dirt and grease, but the Coronado Shelter staff quickly turned her into a beautiful girl with a bath that revealed her soft, curly white coat. Merry is about 2 years old and weighs 13 pounds. She’s a terrier mix with a little Pomeranian and perhaps a bit of Papillion. Merry likes to explore her surroundings, but always comes back to her people. She’s relaxed, calm and quiet but also has a playful side. She’d be best suited in a home where people are home a lot. When left alone for long periods, she tends to bark a little, but this may subside when she starts to feel secure in a permanent home with no threat of being abandoned again. She seems to get along with the other dogs at the Coronado Animal Shelter; not sure how she is with cats. Merry is microchipped, spayed and vaccinated. Visit her at the shelter at 1395 First Street between 9 AM to 4 PM seven days a week. |

| Saint is the last remaining puppy from his litter. He's now 3 months old and was the runt of a litter of 8 pups. He was also the only one born deaf. Saint's foster family has actually set him up with 2 weeks of professional training so that he'll learn his hand signals. Training a deaf dog isn't much different from training a hearing one, you just "talk" with your hands. Saint is 15 pounds and we believe he'll grow to be 45 to 55 pounds. He's an amazingly sweet, well adjusted puppy who loves to play with other dogs and is very gentle with cats. He's loving, goofy, and enjoys his toys. He's apparently adorable when he sleeps...and once he's out he sleeps VERY soundly. One great thing about a deaf dog is that they don't bark when neighborhood dogs start barking, or at sirens or random noises, so in some ways, it's a real blessing if you have persnickety neighbors! |

| Easter is right around the corner, and we thought we'd show you just one of the countless Bunnies available for adoption from the House Rabbit Soceity, in hopes that you will not buy a bunny from a store, but instead save a life this holiday. Toffee is a sweet Mini Rex girl who loves cuddling and grooming her stuffed bunny. She prefers her stuffed bunny to other bunnies. She's about 3 years old, funny, sweet and active. She'd do well with adults or children who are at least 7 years old. She's also good with cats,and she's already litter-box-trained. Some things to consider before getting a bunny this Easter....first, they can live 12 years, the same as a dog. Second, they're considered exotic animals, so vet care isn't cheap. Finally, after dogs and cats, they're the most relinquished animals at the shelters. So, please save a bunny this year, but take the committment seriously, and visit SanDiegoRabbits.org to learn more! |

| Randy is a very social, sweet, 4-year-old boy who loves all people! He's positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, FIV, but he's very healthy and could make an excellent companion for another cat with FIV, a virus that affects a cat's immune system. As long as they're not exposed to an unhealthy environment, they can live perfectly long, normal lives. It's a cat-only virus and can't be passed to humans or other species. It's usually transmitted during a cat fight, so Randy should be an only cat or live with another friendly FIV+ cat. He should also remain indoors. He's vaccinated, microchipped, neutered and comes with a free vet visit after adoption. Friends of Cats is located on Olde Highway 80, east of Lake Jennings Park Road in El Cajon. Open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 AM to 3:30 PM. |

| Puff was obviously loved very much… She was raised by her human mom and then one day she was gone and Puff went to live with a relative who really didn’t want a cat. It was a hard time for Puff and when she was put in a box and brought to the Coronado Animal Shelter, she was terrified. But the gentle kindness she felt by the staff and volunteers has made Puff feel good again. What would make her feel even better would be to have a loving home of her own once again. Puff is a very affectionate girl, coming over to say hello and wind her way between your legs. When you pick her up, she pushes in to be as close as possible and nuzzles her head into your neck. When you pet her she rewards you with a steady rumble of purrs. Her quiet and friendly demeanor tells us just how much her first mom loved and cared for her. Puff will make someone a wonderful companion – she will always be there to welcome you home, she will offer you gentle nudges and comforting purrs and she will be a devoted feline friend. You can meet Puff any day between 9:00am and 4:00pm (except holidays). If you are interested in adopting Puff, you must first complete a Cat Adoption Application and meet with a PAWS of Coronado Cat Adoption Counselor. SAN DIEGO ANIMAL SUPPORT FOUNDATION |

| It was a long scary night enclosed in a box with her sister… Late at night, Molly and her sister Mia were left outside of the Coronado Police Department in a box sealed with tape. The two cats must have been so confused and frightened. The note left on the box said that the family had lost their home and could no longer care for the cats. They had tried to find them a home with no luck and had been told that they could pay to have them killed. Getting to know Molly and Mia, we can not imagine anyone being able to let go of these two wonderful cats, let alone take them to be euthanized. Mia has been adopted, but Molly is still waiting for her turn. Molly is a loving and calm cat, not easily rattled. Still young, she loves to play and will interactively play with you or toss a cat toy in the air to entertain herself. She is also very affectionate and if you sit down on the floor she will come over and roll so that you can give her a good belly rub. She likes to be brushed and enjoys a good scratch all around her head. She's good with other cats, and safe with children. Molly is a pretty cat too with her cinnamon nose, green eyes and dark tabby markings. The white fur that starts on her chin extends down to her chest and belly where the fur is very wavy. Times are hard for many who cannot keep their pets when they have to relocate. Please consider giving Molly another chance at a secure and loving home. She'll reward you many times over with her affection, devotion and gentle ways. You can meet Molly any day at the Coronado Animal Care Facility between 9:00am and 4:00pm (except holidays). |

| George Burns and Gracie Allen are purebred German Shorthair Pointers who lost their home when their owner lost his. They've been together all of their 14 years and were loyal companions and hunting buddies to their former owner. They're fit, active, and love attention, belly rubs and walks. They know many commands, are well-behaved and walk well, with or without a leash. They still enjoy fetching a tennis ball and they are very smart; more than one bag of treats has gone missing from improbable places - they work together to acquire the treats they love and are interesting to watch as they plot to get into the treat shed at the rescue. Gracie is incredibly affectionate with everyone she meets, giving everyone a little nudge to make sure she is noticed and gets some pets. George is a little more independent and enjoys hunting and exploring, coming back for some pets now and again. They share everything: food bowls, dog house, beds, and toys.They have been a pair for all but the first couple of months of their lives, and GSP Rescue is looking to adopt them as a pair. They get along with all other dogs, seem to be okay with cats, and enjoy children and adults of all ages. They are not demanding at all, except maybe for some love, and they'd be an easy addition to any family - a couple of soft beds and a walk each day is all that they ask. |

The staff keeps him out in the office all the time to give him hands on attention which helps to bring him out of his shell, but he still has a way to go and needs a patient owner who will take the time to talk to him and pet him. Now here's some great news for Spring Valley residents: National Cat Protection Society will spay or neuter your cats for free for a limited time only, so hurry and call their hotline at 619-616-8748 and leave your contact information to take advantage of this great offer. Nat Cat is located on Birch Street in Spring Valley, and they're open today from noon to 5. |

| Richie is an African Spur Sulcata Tortoise available for adoption from the San Diego Turtle & Tortoise Society. He’s approximately 7 years old and can live more than 100 years, so you’re looking at a very long-term commitment and possibly a pet who will be looked after from one generation to the next. The Sulcata is the third largest tortoise in the world and can grow to be 200-pounds. Richie doesn’t hibernate but he does need a heat house all year long. His diet consists of grass and weeds, hay, cactus, flowers and leaves from both hibiscus and geraniums. He lives happily with no other tortoises, and especially no dogs, as dogs will often mistake the shells of turtles and tortoises for bones to chew on. If you’re interested in adopting Richie, call the San Diego Turtle & Tortoise Society and find out how you can become a member. There’s no adoption fee for members, and membership is only $25. |

| Harold is a beautiful medium-haired cat available for adoption from the Friends of Cats shelter in El Cajon. He has a hint of tabby coloring, making him look almost peach-colored, with giant bold blue eyes. He was left behind in the shelter's parking lot by a homeless person, who just dropped him and walked off. Probably a good time to remind everyone that abandoning a pet, even in a shelter parking lot, is illegal. Harold will be a treasure for some lucky family....not only because of his beauty, but because he's just a big, sweet guy....weighing in at 19-pounds, he's bigger than some of the dogs we feature. Harold is 10 yrs old, which is going to make it a little tough to find him a home, but remember that a healthy indoor cat can live 18-20 years! He loves catnip, treats (obviously), and playing with the laser light pen...pretty playful for such a big boy. A quick reminder that Friends of Cats is holding their annual Open House in September, including lots of activities for kids, and kitten races which are always a big hit. |

| Baby is an 11-year-old spayed female who is available for adoption from the Friends of Cats Shelter in El Cajon. She's spayed, current on all her vaccinations, tested negative for feline diseases, microchipped and comes with a free vet visit and carrier if needed. Her fee is only $35 because she's more than 10 years old, and the shelter knows it's a challenge to find adopters for pets this age. In fact, most shelters wouldn't even accept Baby because of her age. But remember, when properly cared for and kept indoors, cats can live to 20-years. Baby has been at the shelter for almost a year, and is so incredibly lovable. She's great with other cats, and could be placed in a home with or without kids. She likes to lick, she loves to have her back scratched and her belly rubbed. Taking care of cats, like Baby, is what Friends of Cats has been doing for the past 81 years. |
