A New Chapter

   
     Many of you know that Prudence passed on last October. I still haven't been able to put her loss into words, as if then I would be admitting that she really is gone. She was such a presence and inspired so much of what I've come to do over these several years. I know she'll always be with me in spirit and hopefully soon another coonhound will come into my life. I do know that Pru left big paw prints to fill, as she's left those same paw prints on my soul.

     I've decided to keep the blog up in her memory, and over the next few weeks, I'll be introducing you to some of the kitties that share our home. I know they miss her too but it's going to be interesting to see how they react to a new canine pal. I have a few reviews to post in the meantime so be on the lookout for those and I'll also be writing about shelter pets and rescue transports.

      There will be a bit of an evolution to this, as I'll also be sharing pictures and stories of this year's gardening adventures and some crafting thrown into the mix!

Perhaps this will be the summer that the chicken coop gets assembled? We'll see!

As Prudence would say "thanks fur stopping by pals"!

Tuesdays Tails!

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! 



This week we would like you to meet sweet Sadie!





According to Sadie's Petfinder page, she was lost and roaming the streets. The rescue is surprised that no one has come forward to claim her, since she's a real "love bug". They've done all that they could to locate her family, with no luck.

The volunteers think that Sadie is about 4 years old, and she weighs 15 pounds. 



Sadie is up to date with all her shots and has been spayed. She'll be micro-chipped once she's adopted so she'll never have to worry about being lost again.

 Sadie is currently being fostered by All Star Pet Rescue, in Linden, NJ. You can contact them at AllStarPets@comcast.net or visit their page for more information.




Thanks for stopping by buddies!

Hi buddies!

     Today we would like to introduce you to Honey girl!

Just look at that sweet face!

    According to her bio, "Honey is a very motivated and high energy 8 month old pointer hound mix from the south. She is still very much a puppy on lead and gets very excited to meet and greet both people and other dogs. Her previous owners showered her with love and food but forgot the training. Once she grew out of the cute little puppy stage she ended up here.
   "Honey will allow and even beg for you to touch and handle every inch of her. She loves to jump on people and has a very high energy level so she will need an active family to run and play with. She is a happy and well-adjusted puppy. She loves toys and is more than happy to share them with you. She will sit for food or treats but only for a second. She is gentle with taking food and doesn'€™t mind sharing her food or its bowl. Honey is great with other dogs but her puppy energy and lack of self-control makes her better for dogs her size and energy level. Honey's favorite thing to do is get her picture taken. She will instantly calm and sit when she sees a camera pointed at her."

    If you're interested in learning more about Honey, please visit her Petfinder.com page or contact the Associated Humane Societies in Newark, New Jersey.

Honey and many other wonderful pets are available for adoption at the Associated Humane Societies in Newark, New Jersey. All pets at the shelter are up to date on their shots and will be altered and micro-chipped once they've been adopted
 Visit their website ore give the shelter a call at 973-824-7080.

   The Society offers free DVDs with all cat and dog adoptions at no charge. $300 worth of coupons are offered to each new dog parent and $100 worth of coupons for each new cat parent too!

Now for some good news! Remember sweet Ratchet from a Tuesday's Tails a few months ago? 
 
We found out that he has found his forever family! Way to go Ratchet! 

    The Friends of Union Township Animal Shelter's Face Book page had the good news, but somehow mom missed it!

Here are the some of the most happy words we've read in a long time:

    "Friday the 13th - Ratchet's luckiest day. 2 years, 8 months, 13 days. Unheard of in a municipal run shelter. A dog with sensitive skin, high prey drive, initially knowing absolutely nothing. He typically never would have been given a chance. Ask anyone who knew Ratchy, he was worth the chance, he still is. 2 years, 8 months, 13 days. He waited in his kennel thinking the shelter was home and the staff and volunteers were his family, and we all are.

    "Today Ratchet found someone that didn't overlook the big black dog in the last kennel. Today he found someone that doesn't mind his prey drive, and will help him work past it. Today he found someone that is ready to see what his skin condition stems from, and help diminish it. Today he found someone that loves him as much as we all do - and then some. Today he found someone that saw past the big black dog, saw past the "flaws", and just fell in love. Today... Ratchy found forever!"


   Thank you to the wonderful people working at the Union Township Shelter and to all the shelter volunteers!
And thank you for stopping by!

Tuesday's Tails

Hi buddies!

For today's Tuesday's Tails, we'd like to introduce you to Snickers!



      Snickers is currently at the Associated Humane Society in Newark, NJ. From what the shelter says about her, she sounds like a very sweet soul!

      From her PetFinder page:
      "SINCE SNICKERS WENT HIKING THIS WEEKEND, WE DECIDED TO POST SOME OF HER BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS...THIS DOG IS AMAZING AND NEEDS A HOME!!"

     "SNICKERS IS BEAUTIFUL DOG. ALTHOUGH HER CARD SAYS PIT I REALLY SEE GREAT DANE IN HER. AND SHE HAS A GREAT DANE PERSONALITY.. SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE HAD SOME PUPPIES AND THEN THEY MUST HAVE DUMPED HER, BUT SHE MUST HAVE BEEN A WONDERFUL MOMMIE TO HER PUPPIES, SHE SHARES A KENNEL WITH ANOTHER DOG. SHE WAS GENTLE TAKING TREATS FROM OUR HAND TO EATING HER FOOD."


     We have to agree, Snickers is stunning! She is up to date with her shoots and will be altered and micro-chipped upon adoption. For more information, call the Newark Animal Care Center at 973-824-7080. You can also email the shelter from a link on Snicker's PetFinder page.

Today we'd like to introduce you to Charlotte!



You know we're crazy about coonhounds here at Chez Prudence, so when mom saw Charlotte, we needed to share her.
A sweet 4 year old coonhound/beagle mix, she's had a rough start to her life. Fortunately, Charlotte was pulled from a kill-shelter in Mississippi and is being taken care of by the good people at One Step Closer Animal Rescue (O.S.C.A.R.), Sparta, NJ. 
Charlotte is neutered and is up to date with her shots. For more information, or to fill out an application, please visit the One Step Closer Animal Rescue site or send an email to OSCARRescue@yahoo.com.

Local Rescue Group!

        We're happy to be a part of the Tuesdays Tails Blog Hop! Every week, we'll be posting about a pet in a local shelter or rescue that's waiting for a furever home.


     Normally we like to write about Eleventh Hour Rescue, where mom found me. But while doing a little research for our post, we found a new rescue group that's just getting started here, a little closer to home that could use some publicity. So we thought that it would be good to give New Hope Pet Rescue a little buzz.
    Since we have so many kitties in our area needing homes, we're going to feature an adoptable cat this week!


      Meet Katie, a cute Torbie mix, from the streets of New York City! She's very affectionate and would love a family to call her own. Katie is spayed and up to date on her shots.


 (photos from New Hope Pet Rescue)

    Here's the link to Katie's Petfinder page to learn more about her and perhaps file an application for adoption.  If you're unable to adopt or foster Katie, please consider a donation to New Hope Pet Rescue to help them continue to do the great work that they do. They are an all volunteer group, so all donations go to the care of the animals.

Thanks fur stopping by buddies!
