Take Me Home: March 22, 2010

The popular microchip clinics are coming up once again. From the York Region OSPCA website:

Microchip Clinic

Date: March 27, 2010
Start: 12:00 noon
End: 4:00 pm
Location: York Region Shelter
Info: Every year thousands of pets in Ontario go missing and many do not find their way home. Protect your furry friends by providing them with microchip identification. This permanent identification will allow finders to easily identify your pet should an accidental escape occur by providing them with important information to allow your dog or cat to be returned quickly and safely to you.

Take advantage of this great opportunity. If you adopted your dog or cat from the shelter, it has already been microchipped. Just one of the many great things about the OSPCA. Here are some more:

---

Long-haired and beautiful, Maggie is two and a half years old.

---

Zippy is a yellow-bellied Slider, and just over 2 years old. Breed knowledge is essential.

---

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 the OSPCA York Region Website.

Take Me Home: March 7, 2010

I took some new photos at Mohill, yesterday. Walking into one of the cat rooms, I felt as if I'd entered black cat heaven -- six or seven lovely, black cats immediately surrounded me, looking for attention. What a bonanza! If you're considering adopting a new pet, please think about one (or two) or the many adult black cats that are available. Unfortunately, these dark-furred felines are the last to find a home. I have no idea why, but I can assure you that black fur is not any more of a hassle than any other colour. And my own black cat, Meeko, hasn't brought us anything but the very best of luck.

These are just a few of the fifteen sleek, black models available. Because there are so many, most have collars with their names printed. Why not visit, and introduce yourself to: Artemis, Salem, Zilda, Preston, Nathan, Nathaniel, Elizabeth, Emerald, Rosalee, Pagan, Austin, Karina, Taylor, Nikademus, and Rosie. They range in age from nine months to seven years.

Bear, a seven-month old silver-marten rabbit, has a beautiful black and tan coat. He's looking for a home where he can run around (or is that hop around?), and have fun. ADOPTED

---

Sago is just under five years old, and is looking for a home without children. She's friendly and fun-loving, but needs a family with the patience to teach her the finer points of dog etiquette.
