Take Me Home: January 12, 2009

For Christmas, my parents gave me money to donate to the OSPCA. It was the perfect gift. It's something to consider the next time you're buying a birthday or Christmas gift for an animal lover.

And now for the highlights of today's post:








These two-month-old puppies are so darn cute, but as you can see, they were near-impossible to photograph. After 10 minutes of taking pictures of puppy backs and bottoms, I snapped the one below. Not perfect, but I'll settle for it. My advice -- drop into the centre, and fall in love. ADOPTED









I just love a Torti's colouring. Two-year-old Clair arrived at the shelter with 42 other cats. She's friendly and outgoing -- and obviously enjoys showing off her acrobatic skills. Like all cats and dogs over 6 months old, Clair has been spayed. ADOPTED






Wendy is two years old, and gets along with people and cats. She likes to play and loves being brushed. Sounds like she'd be perfect for the family who is looking for a sociable pet. TRANSFERRED TO CAMBRIDGE SHELTER






One-year-old, Siberian Husky cross, Pluto and his brother, Tiger, are not used to living indoors or being touched by people. They will require patience, an understanding of their breed, and a home without children. It's a tough task, but I'll bet the rewards will be worth the hard work. ADOPTED




The centre (Mohill) is located at 16586 Woodbine Avenue, just south of Mulock/Vivian Sideroad. Their adoption hours are:

Monday to Wednesday & Saturday:
12 - 6 p.m.
Thursday & Friday: 12 - 7 p.m.
Sunday: 12 - 5 p.m.

For more information on these and the many other pets available, go to Petfinder.com or the OSPCA York Region Website.

My mom & dad adopted a cat from the Etobicoke OSPCA this past fall. It was a big step for them. As immigrants, they'd never heard of the OSPCA. They're convernts - think it's a great idea! And "Angel" is doing really well with them. She's thriving...playing...all is good.

I'm so pleased to hear it, Steph. I'll bet they are just crazy for their new pet.
