Adopt Me—Tara

November 28, 2011 in December 2011, Louisville, Louisville Adoptables by Tails Magazine

The Animal Care SocietyAdopt Me—Tara

502.426.6303

My name is Tara and I’m a 9-month-old Boxer. Yes! A pure bred Boxer at an animal shelter. But around here nobody cares about my pedigree … they just love my joyful spirit!

If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?
I would be a weeping willow because once I am planted, my roots will reach deep into your heart! And I’m very flexible—I can touch my shoulder all the way to my butt!

What movie star would you want to portray you in a movie of your life?
As a strong beautiful female, the obvious actress choice would be Angelina Jolie. I am a dog of action!

What is your favorite board game?
If I had thumbs, I would kick your butt at Scrabble every day! I could also do your taxes. But I don’t, so your intellectual ego is safe.

Who is your best friend?
My best friend is Tamera, a wonderful girl. We like to play and play and play! She needs a home too, (hint, hint). With two dogs you don’t need cable for entertainment!

Pink or purple?
I’m definitely a pink girl, although it’s really more of a mauve I prefer.

Adopt Me— Mickey

Meet Mickey. He is a four-year-old, vaccinated, neutered brown Tabby mix.  He is a mix in other ways as well. He is a wonderful bundle of energy, loving to play and scamper about. Then he loves to plop down on a lap and purr away while he gets a loving tummy rub or a scratch behind his ears.  Mickey is on the hunt for adventure at all times but is also very well behaved.  He can be silly but always seems to have a mature swagger to him. One quality that is not a mix is Mickey’s pure joy. He is always upbeat and happy to be around people.

What is your favorite song?
Stray Cat Strut by the Stray Cats! I was found as a stray, and “I’ve got cat class and I’ve got cat style.â€

If you could go anywhere on vacation where would you go?
Maine. I’ve heard they have some of the best fish in America. I love my fish!

Who would play you in a blockbuster movie?
John Travolta! A slick, handsome, fun-loving guy!  He is also an affectionate, playful gentleman, much like myself.

Why should you go home with a family today?
I would be a catch for any family.  I’ve got tons of personality, lots of affection to give and am content with a relaxing afternoon or a fun-filled play session.

Meet Luna! Luna is a beautiful young girl who was saved from a high-kill shelter. She has a stunning fawn and brown brindle coat.

Luna is such a happy little girl with a token Pit Bull “wiggle butt.†She lives in a foster home with kitties and four other Pitties and enjoys playing with all her playmates! Luna also loves kids and to give kisses. You might need a towel afterwards!  Luna is housebroken and crate-trained. She knows her basic commands of “sit†and “down†and is eager to learn more.

What is your favorite activity?
Oh, activity is the key word! I love to play with people or doggie playmates and walk and run and play some more. Then, of course, I want to flop on the couch and snuggle and give my famous kisses.

Who is in your perfect family?
Anyone loving, kind, active and affectionate. I would love some furry siblings or kids to play with and to take me on great exploring adventures.

Why should you go home with a family today?
I was so close to, well, I know how to appreciate the second chance I have been given! I am full to the brim with love and life, and wiggles and affectionate kisses. I am joyous as I face each new day.

Meet Milton Bradley, a handsome, neutered, vaccinated 1-year-old brown tabby.  He is a super sweet boy who went for a nice walk in the wonderful summer weather and lost his way.  Milton loves to play and explore, but more than anything, he enjoys snuggling and being held. He is looking for a family who will give him treats, rub his belly and cuddle with him on the couch while watching a good movie. He was born to be a best friend!

I would love a family who would give me lots of attention, Kitty siblings would be good, too!

What do people most admire about you?
I am very personable and charming and an all-around great guy. I am everyone’s best buddy.

Who would play you in the blockbuster movie?
I don’t get to many movies but love to watch tv. I have heard that my fun-loving, adorable, boy-next-door charm is much like Jim from the show “The Office.†And, he is almost as handsome as I am!

Why should you go home with a family today?
One of the best things about me is how well I get along with everyone, from people to kitties alike. I am so affectionate, I make everyone feel special. Now I would love to feel the same way.

LouisvilleKY.Gov/AnimalServices

Billy Bob is a 1-year-old, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped Plott Hound/Coonhound mix who is energetic, playful, and super dog-friendly. He came in as a stray in May and has become a staff favorite. Billy Bob would love an experienced, active family who plays fetch and will take him on lots of adventures! Because of his size and “puppy manners,†he would do best in a home without small dogs or children. Billy Bob is VERY smart and knows some commands—but he can be mouthy and likes to jump up to give hugs and kisses, because he can.

Where would you go on vacation?
Slugger Field. I love to play ball and it would be awesome to see everyone enjoying my favorite game!

What is your favorite activity?
Fetch in the yard, then I pile the balls in my bed. I can even bounce a ball and catch it myself!

Who is your perfect family?
I like action and adventure, so a family on the go (who will take me with them, of course). I am eager to learn, so someone patient to teach me how to be the best companion for your family.

Why should you go home with a family today?
I’m so cute and smart and ready to learn and love and have a ton of fun.

Say hello to Tessie! She is about 5-weeks-old and is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Poor Tessie was found sitting by her dead mother on the side of the road. She is a very affectionate and sweet little girl. Tessie loves to play and sit in the sun and get lots of tummy rubs.

Who is in your perfect family?
A family who plays with me, lets me sleep in sunbeams, gives me canned food treats from time to time, and likes to cuddle. No more outside for me!

If you were not a kitty, what would you be?
A giraffe! How fun to graze, see the world from a different perspective, and be gentle and kind to other animals in the beautiful grasslands.
What is one thing no one knows about cats?
If someone looks into the eyes of a kitty and we slowly close and open them again, it is the universal sign of a kitty kiss.

Why should you go home with a family today?
With such a harsh beginning, I want to feel the warm love of a great family to give my story a happy ending.

Jennifer Aniston because she is funny, full of life, looking for love, and almost as beautiful as I am.

Parents, perhaps with kids or a furry brother or sister, really anyone who will love me, keep me healthy and safe, and play with me.

Hey there, I’m Koala. I got my name because I am an Australian Blue Heeler/Australian Shepherd mix. I am a young guy, at just under 2 years old. I am neutered, in good health, and up-to-date with all my vaccinations.

If you weren’t a dog, what kind of animal would you be?
Definitely a horse. How great would it be to just run around a field all day, take a break here and there to eat, and then run around some more in the wide open? Sounds like a fun day to me!

Who would be your perfect family?
A family with a big farm, or at least with a lot of room to run around. I would make a great friend for a young couple or even a family with kids. I love affection, but I enjoy giving it back even more!

Why should you go home with a family today?
I’m a loyal, energetic, fun-loving guy who is looking for an active forever friend or family. I have a zest for life, but my life won’t be complete until I find a family to call my own.

Stray Cat Strut by the Stray Cats. Boy, do they know what they’re talking about. I was found as a stray, and now I’m strutting around looking for someone to take me home!

If a movie star were portraying you in a blockbuster movie, who would get the role?

Adopt Me - FritzHal’s Haven, Inc., 
Danville, KY
859.319.2056

Hi, I’m Friendly Fritz. My mom and I were pulled out of a shelter in Louisiana. I am hard to photograph because I would rather have a pet than have my picture taken. I always try to grab my foster mom so that she will pay attention to me and hug me. I would rather have love than food or water (I have to admit I could use a diet). I am now ready to venture out into the world. Do you have room for me?

Who would be in your perfect family?

Anyone and everyone who will pay attention to me!

What’s your favorite song?

Eat it, by Weird Al Yankovich.

Why should you go home with a family today?

I am extremely lovable and loving, and am looking for my forever family to start the journey of the rest of our days together.
