Hello, I’m Gizmo, a happy and sweet boy who loves people. I am warm and accepting, and we will be fast friends from the moment we meet. I do love to be the center of attention, and will do best in a home where I can be the only pet. I enjoy being rubbed, especially scratches behind my ears! Playing with my cat toys makes me purr, and I love my cat tower. I climb, play, and nap like a rock star!

What is your favorite board game?
Checkers. I love all of the pieces. They are fun to bat around, and make a great sound!

If you could be a tree, what kind of tree would you be?
I think a cherry tree would be perfect, since everyone would gather around to admire me, and I could offer yummy treats in return!

I am such an affectionate boy. I need an outlet to channel all of the love I have in my heart, just waiting for the perfect family!

Hi, my name is Marshmallow! I’m a very friendly boy who adores attention from my human friends! I will rub my head against you to show my love. I enjoy a good back rub, chasing toys, and cuddling up for a good nap. I may do best as an only pet, but I have met other dogs and cats that I get along with. I am just a bit slow to warm up. What I really want is a forever home, I promise I will adjust!

What movie star would you want to portray you in a movie of your life?
Steve Carrell is really funny, and he seems like a genuinely nice guy. He would be the perfect choice!

I would make sure my forever family is happy, and donate the rest to animal shelters around the country. Oh, and I’d buy a lifetime supply of catnip too.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
The cat you who is sitting in a picture frame on your desk. Being your favorite cat is my dream job!

AAWL.org

Hi my name is Callie! I’m very sweet but I’m not used to being around people yet—so I’m working on it. I’m working on my house training, too. I’m a timid girl that needs some time to get used to new people and places. I would do best in a quieter and mellower home. I like to carry balls and squeaky toys around with me. I’m pretty good with cats and dogs, as long as they aren’t too crazy. Hope to hear from you soon.

What movie star would you want to portray you in a movie of your life?
I think Reese Witherspoon is so pretty. I also think that I am pretty, so that seems like a pretty good match to me.

If you won the lottery, what would you do?
I think I would buy a whole bunch of tennis balls and squeaky toys!

What do you dream of at night?
Going to a home where I could hang out with other animal friends. Of course, I can’t wait to be around my wonderful new caretaker as well.

Why should YOU go home with a family right now?
I am a great friend. It may take me a little bit to warm up to you, but get me a squeaky toy and I just might come out of my shell.

Adopt Me – Marcia

Almost Home Boxer Rescue Sonoran Adoptable Dog - February 2012

AlmostHomeBoxers.org

Hi there! My name is Marcia and I am a 3–year-old sweet girl. When I was dropped off at the shelter, I had more than 700 ticks on me (300 in my ears alone). I am now tick free and healing nicely. Luckily, I did not get any blood borne diseases from the ticks. I have lived outside for most of my life and have not interacted too much with other dogs or humans. I am very shy, but I will come around with lots of love and patience. I tend to come out of my shell around other dogs, so I need to be in a house with another dog, so I can learn how to be social and live in a home.

If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?
Actually, because I’ve been outside so much, I can pretty much name every tree in the book. I’ll tell you this, I am not like any tree. I am one of a kind and a survivor.

What movie star would you want to portray you in a movie of your life?
Grizzly Adams. I don’t think I have to explain that choice, huh?

If you won the lottery, what would you do?
I would buy my new family a big house with a giant yard for me and my canine pals to run around and chase squirrels.

Why should YOU go home with a family right now?
Because I am ready. I have been waiting so long for a home.

Who is your best friend?
I don’t have one yet, but I bet you and your dog would be a great start!

Adopt Me – Gizmo

Arizona Humane Society Sonoran Adoptable Cat - February 2012

AZHumane.org

Hi! My name is Gizmo. I am an indoor-only cat, and I want to keep it that way. Batting around toys, gazing out the window, and just hanging out is what I like to do when you are not at home. I will be OK in a home with other pets, but will need time to adjust, and I should be introduced slowly. I am a sweet boy.

If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be and why?
An elm tree because that is a classic beauty—just like me.

What is your favorite board game and why?
Chess is always fun because I can bat the little pieces around.

If you won the lottery, what would you do?
Of course, I would give it all to you! You deserve it!

Why should YOU go home with a family right now?
I really want to go to a nice family that has time to treat me right. I think I deserve at least that much.

Hello! I’m Tommy a 10-year-old brown Tabby Cat. I’m a bit of a nervous cat and I can be very shy and timid at first. But I do enjoy affection. Once I relax around you, I will be rubbing up against your legs, talking to you, and asking for my head to be rubbed and my backside to be scratched.  I also love kitty treats—they make me brave. I would do best in a quiet family. Older children would be OK. I am ready for someone to spend time with.

If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?
I would be a willow tree because I like to curl up underneath things.

If you won the lottery, what would you do?
I would spend the money on catnip … lots and lots of catnip. Also, I’d love to help my friends here at the shelter. There are plenty of terrific animals in need of a forever home.

What do you dream of at night?
I dream about soft laps to curl up in.

What is your favorite board game 
and why?
Mouse Trap! What cat wouldn’t love that game? I love to watch that basket come down on that crazy critter.
