WHINNER - Star# 1 - A# 649462 DSH M/N Brn Tabby – 8 mo. – “I don't have a clue why they named me that - I rarely make a mewl. I have a lovely high-contrast bull’s eye swirl and am quite the handsome guy. I'm full of love. I love to gaze into your eyes over a candlelight dinner. Salmon, of course.”

TAUTIE - Star# 2 - A# 649907 DSH F/S Torbie – 4.5 mo. – “I'm a beautiful dusty grey gal who is very loving, devoted, and loyal. I love to talk to you with "silent" meows and I'm a leg rubber. In fact, your ankles are sure to stay warm this winter with me around.”

NICOLE - Star# 3 - A# 648176 DSH F/S Brn Tabby – “I'm a pretty girl who looks a lot like a bobcat kitten. I have a beautiful stripe/spot pattern to my fur, which is extra soft and smooth. I love to play with other cat friends. I won't win any cuddling contests but I will always be nearby with a wink and a nod.”

SANDRA - CA# 3 - A# 650313 DSH F/S Blk/Wht – 1 yr. – “I have the prettiest gold eyes and the sweetest voice. I'm a little frightened by being in the strange place/shelter so please won't someone come get me?”

AXEL - CA# 13 - A# 649469 DSH M/N Blk – 6 mo. – “I have the best rumble purr and will gladly play it for you while you scratch my neck. I love to curl up in your arms and give Eskimo kisses. I’m a super sweet lover boy. I am missing a claw so one less nail to keep trimmed!”

WILHELMINA - CA# 7 - A# 650288 DSH F/S Gry Tabby – 1 yr – “I'm a super sweet blue tabby gal who will let you love and pet on me for hours! I've had trouble getting considered by people because I look a bit shy in my cage, but don't let that first impression fool you - I'm as sweet and wonderful as they come!”

SASSY - CA# 21 - A# 650560 DSH F/S Blk – 6 mo. – “My sister Sassafras and I are full of sass! We lived together before coming to DAS and would love to keep each other company while you're at work. Sassy is the smallest and a bit more cuddly. Both of us love kids and are not at all frightened by pattering little kid feet.”

SASSAFRAS - CA# 21 - A# 650561 DSH F/S Blk – 6 mo. – “My sister Sassy and I are full of sass! We lived together before coming to DAS and would love to keep each other company while you're at work. I’m smaller and a bit more cuddly. Both of us love kids and are not at all frightened by pattering little kid feet.”

RUGBY - CA# 29 - A# 650389 DMH M/N Blk/Wht – 2 yr. – “I'm appropriately named because I'm built like a stout Rugby player. I've had a difficult time getting adopted because I've got to run off a lot of steam before I'm ready to settle down. I'm not much of a cuddler but I'd sleep at the foot of your bed and keep your toes warm. I get along great with other cats of all ages and might even be able to handle dogs.”

JOY - CA# 45 - A# 650547 DSH F/S Blue Tabby – 1.5 yr. – “I'm a beautiful blue tabby with striking bright green eyes. I have a loud purr and turn the volume up the instant you touch me. I'd promise hours of lap time!”

LEEZA - CA# 47 - A# 649845 DSH F/S Blk – 1 yr. – “I'm a black beauty from head to toe - even my nails are black! I'm a quiet gal who prefers a low key home and strong bonding with just a few people.”

KIMMY - CA# 51 - A# 649846 DSH F/S Blue/Wht – “I'm a lovely blue and white gal with a rare blue nose to match! I'm curious but cautious; a bit shy in new places but I'll warm up quickly once settled in my new home. I'd love to keep your lap warm while you knit or watch TV.”

Chocolate Lab Out of Time at Garland Shelter

This sweet girl needs our help. She has been at the Garland Shelter since 11/9/10 and her time is up. Not long to give her family to find her, but I obviously don't make the rules at shelters. Please take the time to visit her if you are considering fostering or pass along her information to those that can help spread the word. Word is that she is pretty scared right now and takes a bit to warm up, possibly 2-3 years old.

Rescue groups can pull with NO FEE. Adoption fee is $80 and that includes getting her spayed. Shelter info below.

PLEASE, help if you can, and forward to spread the word! Fostering is a great way to help save these animal's lives, but if you cannot open your home to another animal, please forward their information. Every little bit helps, remember the starfish story!

“One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean.
Approaching the boy, he asked, ‘What are you doing?’
The youth replied, ‘Throwing starfish back into the ocean.
The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.’
‘ Son,’ the man said, ‘don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make a difference!’
After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said…‘I made a difference for that one.’"
