Tuesday's Tails!

Hi buddies!

       Thanks for stopping by! For this week's Tuesday's Tails, we're featuring a couple of cuties currently being taken care of by PAWS, Pound Animal Welfare Society, in Montclair, NJ. We're very grateful for all the help that their volunteers and Val from A Purrfect World gave to us to help place the Spice Kitties! Thanks to them, the Spice Kittens have found their forever families! Baroooo!

So please meet Dunkin!

Dunkin is a handsome mostly black lab mix, about 6 to 7 years old and weighs about 45 - 50 pounds. His owner had to give this sweet boy up due to her own health issues. He shared his previous home peacefully with dogs of many sizes. He’s very healthy and needs a foster as soon as possible, better yet, a forever home.

Next, meet Buttercup! Just look at those eyes! 

Beautiful 2-year-old Buttercup was pulled from a high-kill shelter earlier this year, and has been working with expert trainer Sarah of Sleepydog Training regularly. Sarah loves Buttercup and feels she's very responsive to training and is doing very well.

Both of these cuties are up to date on their shots, housebroken and are spayed/neutered.If you would like more information on Dunkin, Buttercup or any of the other wonderful adoptable pets, please contact PAWS via email pawsanimalshelter@verizon.net or stop by their site to fill out an application.

The Tuesday's Tails Blog hop features shelter pets, all waiting for their forever homes. Please consider featuring a cat, dog or any pet at your local shelter on your blog and join the hop! Sharing these friends will certainly improve their chances of being adopted!

Thanks Dogs 'N Pawz for hosting the hop, in doing so, honoring Princess Phe!

Thanks Carma Poodale for hosting this week's hop! 

 First the good news! Charlotte, the Coonhound we featured in last week's blog hop has found her furever family! Baroooo! 

So, here's hoping that this week all of the pets on the Tuesday's Tails Hop have the same good luck! 

This week we'd like you to meet Sonny, as sweet coonhound/lab mix, being fostered by Homeless Hearts Dog Rescue in Somerset, NJ.

Quoting from Sonny's page:
     "Poor, sweet Sonny really needs a break--he’s had a rough life.  Sonny weighs 61 lbs and is a lab/coonhound mix.  His 90 year old owner has just gone into a nursing home with an infected, inoperable hole in his heart. Completely overwhelmed by his situation, he planned to just put sweet Sonny down but, thankfully, a kind-hearted neighbor couldn’t see that happen and took him into temporary foster care with her and her two dogs in Manhattan.
    "Here is Sonny’s story:  Poor Sonny was shot as a baby and left on the side of the road in Georgia. He had to have his left rear leg amputated as a result of the gun-shot wound and was then adopted by his 90 year old owner as a pup.  Although he is missing a rear leg, that doesn't slow him down and he gets around just fine.  Don’t mistake Sonny’s 3-legged stature for special-needs--he’s just special!
     "According to his vet and medical records, Sonny is very healthy. He’s 5 - 7 years old, neutered, housebroken and up to date on his shots."
 

     Sonny gets along with other dogs and people. His foster says that he's loves long walks and is very relaxed in her apartment.
     So, if you have room in your heart and home for this sweetheart, please email the Homeless Hearts Dog Rescue at Gone2TheDawgz@yahoo.com and request an application for adoption.

   Today we'd like you to meet Buzz!

      Buzz was on death row until All Star Rescue, in Linden, New Jersey took him under their care. His foster mom says he's a fun loving dog who really loves his toys. He's about 3 years old, weighs 40 pounds and is up to date with his shots. Buzz has also been neutered and micro-chipped.
      Buzz could use a little more training, he doesn't like to be grabbed by his collar, so he's not recommended for a home with small children.

Another sweet boy that could use a loving home is Cameron!

  
       Cameron is a 6 year old Lhasa Apso/Poodle mix who came into the Star Pets Rescue shelter as an owner surrender. He was starved for attention and likes to "rule the roost". The shelter feels that he would do best as the only dog in a home without small children.
    He's been completely vetted now, is up to date on his shots and is also micro-chipped.

      If you think you have room in your heart and your home for either of these handsome fellows, please visit All Star Pets Rescue to fill out an application! For more information, email the rescue at AllStarPets@comcast.net.

Thanks fur stopping by!

         First we have some good news. Remember Dexter, the cute beagle we featured last week? The Animal Alliance of New Jersey pulled him from the shelter and he'll be fostered until he finds his new home. Yay fur Dexter!

We hope someone falls in love with Heidi, a beautiful Redbone Coonhound!

Just look at that sweet face! Since mom found me at Eleventh Hour Rescue, she has a soft spot in her heart fur coonhounds!

 *psst, look closely. See Heidi's back foot on her friend's foot? That's what I do to mom all the time!*



Here's Heidi's information from her Petfinder.com page:
     "Heidi is a purebred Redbone, and a dog that is highly desired in the South for their hunting ability, and their love of people.  If you look up Redbones online, it will tell you the following.  Redbones make excellent family pets, are even tempered, love their owners and families, will shower their families with kisses, get along great with children, other dogs, love the water, and love to run and hike.
    "Heidi is no exception to this, and is a beautiful dog who is around 3-4 years old, and weighs around 65 pounds.  Heidi would love a fenced in yard, or a family that likes to go for walks, hikes, or to the dog park.  Although she loves the outdoors, she also loves to find a spot on your sofa and just snuggle.  Redbones make wonderful watch dogs, and will watch over your family with devotion."

    We're hoping someone falls in love with Heidi, and gives her the furever home she needs! Please stop by her page on Petfinder to read more about her. You can contact Eleventh Hour Rescue via email at EleventhHrRescue@aol.com or give them a call at 973-664-0865.

This week, we'd like to introduce you to a real sweetie, currently being taken care of by Friends of Linden Animals, in Linden, NJ.

Meet Finbar! Just look at those eyes! 

     Finbar was adopted from FOLAS as a puppy, but his family couldn't keep him any longer, so he's looking for a new home. He has one blue and one brown eye and as you can see, is quite handsome!

     He's four years old, and still has a lot of energy. He knows his basic commands and loves to please. Finbar would love a big yard and would be a great addition to a family with older children. He's calm and not much of a barker either!
 
   If you're interested in adopting Finbar, an adoption application form is available. Or contact Friends Of Linden Animals via email at folasinfo@gmail.com for more information on Finbar and many other wonderful pets.

Tuesday's Tails!

Hiya buddies!
     It's my birthday today! So to kick off a week of celebration, I'm going to introduce you to a couple of Treeing Walker Coonhounds from Eleventh Hour Rescue in Rockaway, New Jersey. That's where mom found me! My wish is for someone to fall in love with these pups and give them a good home!

 Meet Rosie Anna! 

  Rosie Anna is 3 years old. She's blind in one eye, but that doesn't slow her down one bit! She loves attention and cuddles. She currently shares her foster  home four other pups, so she'd be a great addition to a home with other dogs. She doesn't get along with kitties 'though.
   You can read more about this sweetie on her Petfinder page!

Meet Ginger!

  (Mom loves her face! That's like my excited look!)

  Ginger is a Coonhound mix, 1 - 2 years old. If you're in the area, you can stop by the adoption facility at the Petsmart store in Mount Olive, NJ. to meet her! The store is open 7 days a week. The facility is located at 50 International Drive, Flanders NJ 07836, or give them a call at (973) 448-7601 Ext.7. Check out her Petfinder page for more information.

Tuesday's Tails!

Hi buddies!
     For this week's Tuesday's Tails, we'd like you to meet a few older kitties, that would just love to spend the rest of their lives in a loving home.

Here's Calypso!

       Just look at that face! According to Friends of Linden Animals "Calypso is a beautiful tortie girl with lots of cattitude. She is lovable and totally enjoys being petted but does not like to be held or handled for long periods of time. Calypso prefers to do things her way and on her terms (a typical tortie trait). For this reason she would not be a good choice for a family with small children. She likes to play and enjoys napping in her hammock afterwards."




Next we have Stella!

    Stella is a real beauty, with copper colored eyes! She's very feisty (look at that face!) and gets along well with other cats but she wouldn't be good for a family with children.

Now, meet Tracey!    

    We couldn't leave out Tracey, a sweet black kitty with beautiful eyes! Mom says she looks a lot like our Sparrow!
  They've all been spayed and are up to date on their routine shots. These kitties and many more,  can be seen at the shelter during daily adoption hours. If you are interested in adopting any of them, or for more information, please visit the Friends of Linden Animal Shelter's site to fill out the online application or contact the Friends of Linden Animal Shelter at folasinfo@gmail.com

Tuesday's Tails!

Hi Buddies!
       Today we'd like to introduce you to Bennie, a very handsome 8 year old poodle!

   Bennie is a sweetie, but his story is a heartbreaker. His owner was moving to a smaller home, and decided Bennie wouldn't fit in! Then we read that the owner's son would kick him, as if that's the way to stop the little guy from barking! *shaking coonhound head*

    Despite all this, Bennie is affectionate, he loves to cuddle and play fetch but he'll do best in a home without children. He's up to date on all his shots and has been neutered and micro-chipped. Bennie is being taken care of by the kind folks at All Star Pet Rescue, in Linden, NJ. You can visit his page here!

    If you would like to read more about Bennie (& perhaps have a space in your heart fur him), please visit All Star Pet Rescue or email them at AllStarPets@comcast.net.
   We're wishing that all pets find their forever homes someday. Thank you to Dogs N Pawz for hosting the Tuesday's Tails Blog Hop!

Hi Buddies!
     Today we'd like to introduce you to Ratchet, a Labrador Retriever/Pit Bull Terrier Mix.

    Ratchet is a cutie, surrendered  in March, 2011. His family loved him, but couldn't take him with them when they moved. He's been waiting for his forever family ever since. He's a pretty cool dude, letting himself get dressed up for the camera!

     Ratchet is at the Union Township Animal Shelter, Union, NJ. You can email the shelter for more information at friendsofunionshelter@gmail.com or give them a call at 908 851- 5230!

   Since my fursibs don't want me to forget about the kitties needing homes too, meet Chaos and Curious! BOL! Purrfect names fur kitties if you ask me! We share our home with two black kitties too, Wren and Sparrow, so they would love it if someone could open their hearts and home for this pair.

   Curious and his sister Chaos are friendly and very playful.  They've been fixed, vaccinated, and are all set to go to their new home together!  Union Township Animal Shelter has an extra special adoption fee for them, so they will be able to stay together. If you would like more information, please You can email the shelter at friendsofunionshelter@gmail.com or give them a call at 908 851- 5230!

Tuedsay's Tails Blog Hop

 Hi Buddies!

      For today's Tuesday's Tails, we'd like to feature a few of the adoptable dogs available from my "Alma Mater" Eleventh Hour Rescue.

                            Meet Bluebell, a young Bluetick coonhound loves the outdoors!

This poor pup was found chained to a tree, but she's happy and safe now. Just waiting for a forever home. We really do have a soft spot here fur the hounds!

 Next we have Snoozy!

 

 
   This poor fella was surrendered by his people to a high kill shelter *shaking head*. He's safe now, living with his foster family. Snoozy is up to date on his shots and is neutered. It's believed that he'll do best in an adult-only home. His new family will have to have some experience with scared dogs, as this poor fellow will nip on occasion.

Ceasar is a  3-year-old, 70 lb. Harrier Hound mix. 

     Ceasar is good with other dogs and he loves meeting new people! "He loves sleeping on the sofa, on the bed and lying on your lap - he thinks he is a 70-lb. lap dog!" This boy sounds a lot like me!

     "Ceasar is a free spirit, ready to explore what Mother Nature has to offer (like a typical hound), therefore an active household is preferred & a fenced-in yard is a "must". He is house trained, crate trained, neutered, & up to date on his shots."

     Please consider opening your heart and home to a rescue pet! Check out the Eleventh Hour Website for more information on these and other wonderful dogs and cats!.
 
    We're still counting down to BlogPaws! Mom's being sponsored by the good people at Nutrish®, and we'd like to mention that a portion of the proceeds from the sales of Nutrish® go to the North Shore Animal League, BAD RAP (Bay Area Doglovers Responsible About Pitbulls, ASPCA and America's VetDogs (Veterans' K-9 Dogs).

 Thanks fur stopping by buddies!

Tuesday's Tails, a Day Late!

This week, we'd like to introduce you to Rachet! 

     Ratchet is a handsome fellow, surrendered to the Union Township Animal Shelter in March 2011. His family moved and weren't able to take him along, so sad. He's been waiting fur his forever home ever since.

     A Labrador Retriever/Pittie mix, Ratchet loves adventure. He loves getting his paws wet (and apparently he doesn't mind getting dress up fur photos either!). 

 

    Here's a quote from Ratchet from his Petfinder page: 

    "The people that work and volunteer at the shelter have been teaching me new things all the time and I've learned I can really focus with this fun game they taught me "find".  I have to tune out everything around me and find just one thing - and sometimes it changes every time I have to "find".  This game really makes me concentrate and I find it lots of fun.  Other things I find fun are going on adventures and exploring.  I love hiking in the woods, swimming, playing in snow, anything outdoors.  I like other dogs, but I can't promise I won't chase your cat.  Hmm, now that I think about it, I can pretty much guarantee you that I will.  I just can't help myself, especially when I see them run.  If you have a home without a cat, make my wish come true and take me home!"

    Ratchet's Pet ID is  Dog7. He's neutered, up-to-date with routine shots, house trained but prefers a home without cats. 

   Please consider giving this guy a loving home! For more information, visit the Union Township's Animal Shelter's website. While you're there, check out the other adoptable dogs and cats! 

You can also email the shelter at friendsofunionshelter@gmail.com or give them a call at 908 851- 5230.

Every Little Bit Helps

     We have it pretty good here at Casa Prudence, but I remember where I came from. Me and my litter mates were rescued from a Georgia kill shelter, all suffering from Parvo. Most rescues would have considered us lost causes, but Eleventh Hour Rescue and it's team came through and saved us!
      Mom works full time, and always seems busy. But when she read a post on Facebook a couple of weeks ago about a doggie transport, she thought that maybe she could help out. A few pups were making their way to their furever homes, with stops along the way, from Birmingham, Alabama to Brattleboro, Vermont. Luckily, a leg of the trip for the pups was from Allentown, Pennsylvania to Paramus, New Jersey. So she contacted the organizer and was emailed the particulars. It's amazing the detail and planning that goes into these transports! Her mission was to pick up Eve, a sweet dachshund mix with mobility issues and Max, a 4 month old dachshund puppy.
     Since it was cold, she packed a few fleeces into the car, along with paper towels. Our buddy Denise came along to help out. She met Celeste in Allentown for the pickup, who gave her lots of tips for future transports, including always bring water, bowl, treats and give the pups a chance for a walk.

(Celeste and Eve)

   Next stop, Paramus, New Jersey! My friend Denise kept the two pups warm in the back seat, while they shared lots of kisses. I'm sort of a big dog, so being with small dogs was a real treat *shaking head* for the people.

    In Paramus, the pups were transferred to Denise and her husband, for the leg to Connecticut!

(Denise Bilquin, her husband and Max)

     Mom was so happy to be able to be a part of this and is looking furward to more transports in the future. Kudos to the rescues and to the people that organize these and to all the drivers that make them a success and that help save lives. I know she's looking furward to doing another one (as long as she doesn't get any big ideas about bringing anybody home, bol!).
    Many thanks to Kathleen Hamilton and All American Dachshund Rescue for their hard work arranging these transports and finding our pals their furever homes!
   This just goes to show you buddies, even mom can make the time to help be the change fur pups in need. She's so glad that she did!
   Thanks fur stopping by!

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday!

The ASPCA working to teach people not to buy anything from a store that sells puppies. Most of the puppies being sold at these stores are from "Puppy Mills", and we all know how terrible they are.  

Thank you to Fidose Of Reality for sharing this video. Please spread the word buddies! Money talks, friends!

Dogs Are Worth It Too Day!

Every year, we go to "Because Your Dog Is Worth It Too" event, hosted by L'Oreal to benefit the Susan G. Comen "Race For The Cure". After a rainy start, the day turned out to be beautiful! We got an early start, which was a good thing. As the day went on, the crowds kept coming!

We got to meet Elwood! He was voted the "Ugliest Dog" a few years ago, but mom says he's "intriguing". And he's in a children's book now too! Pretty famous, I'd say! Elwood was accompanied by Coco, a cutie that was abandoned in an apartment, without food or water for days after his owner was arrested. Fortunately, a neighbor alerted Camden City Animal Control. Joa's Arc stepped in and Coco is now being fostered and is improving everyday.

You can read more about Coco and the other pets being cared for at the Joa's Arc website! There were so many pups and people there, some all dressed up in strollers, ready fur their spotlight!

And more, patiently waiting in line for a chance to spin the wheel fur pawrizes!

There was even a singing basset hound!

Thanks fur stopping by buddies!
