Take Me Home: December 29, 2008

Good news -- many of the animals featured earlier have been adopted! Take a moment to scroll down to the earlier posts. This is wonderful on so many levels because not only does it mean these pets now have a home, it also means some of the dogs, cats and smaller animals will move to the front of the centre so they can run around, and be viewed and played with by the public. I know more animals are adopted during the Christmas season, but let's try to keep the momentum going.

Here's the latest batch of pets waiting for a home. If these don't strike your fancy, there are many, many more at the shelter. Click on photos to enlarge:

Tito is an energetic 8 month old, spayed female who gets along well with both cats and people. She has such an interesting face. As you can see, she loves her toy mouse: ADOPTED

Seven-month-olds Rainbow and Jellybean raced to the side of their cage when I entered the room to snap this photo. They allowed me to pet them, then they followed my progress around the room. I'm not familiar with bunny behaviour, but these two Dutch rabbits were almost dog-like in their eagerness for attention. Very cute. ADOPTED

Libby is an eight-month-old spayed female who came into the shelter with 42 other cats. Although she's a bit shy at first, she seems to enjoy attention -- a warm lap and kind words are all that's needed. ADOPTED
