“Happy birthday to you!  Happy birthday to you!  Happy birthday dear Puddy Cat and Punkin!  Happy birthday to you!”  Puddy Cat and Punkin are brother and sister and will soon be hearing this song.  Their birthday is right around the corner on June 1st.  But, there is only one person who can make their birthday truly happy – you!  They are looking for a loving guardian whose everyday they can make a celebration.

Puddy Cat (pictured) and Punkin are inseparable.  They are more than just brother and sister; they are best friends.  With these two, you are getting double the cuddles, double the love, double the companionship, and double the friendship.  Their previous guardian passed away unexpectedly in February.  While sad, these two have so much more love to share and are ready to join a home once more.  So act today and adopt two adorable fur balls that will bring you double the smiles.

DJ Sloppy Kiss in the hizzooouuuuzzzze!!!  Well, at least he could be a part of your house and home if you adopt him today.  DJ is mixing up some fresh beats made to order especially for you.  It is always a good time when this Snoop Doggy-Dog is bringing the party.  He will spin some sweet tunes on your heart and make you fall in love with him forever.  It does not matter if you are East Side or West Side as long as DJ Sloppy Kiss can be a part of your family!

DJ is still a puppy who has plenty of energy to spare.  He is looking for a family that can take him on walks and runs.  A trip to the dog park would be great too so DJ can play with other furry Friends.  The energy is natural for a German Shorthair Pointer sporting breed.  But as we said, being with DJ is always a ton of fun.  He likes all people and dogs and just loves to be silly.  DJ is housebroken and crate trained and ready to come home today.  So say “yo yo yes” to DJ Sloppy Kiss!!!

To adopt DJ today, contact Love-A-Stray Rescue in Avon Lake at info@loveastraydog.com or visit http://www.loveastraydog.com/.

“I wanna be where the people are.  I wanna see, wanna see them dancin’.  Walking around on those – what do they call ‘em?  Oh – paws!  Waggin’ your tail, you don’t get too far.  People are required for fetching, playing.  Being a part of a – what’s that word again?  Family!  When’s it my turn?  Wish I could be…adopted” (Inspired by Disney’s The Little Mermaid).  That is what this Ariel is thinking.  She just wants to be part of your world. 

Ariel was rescued from a dog pound, pregnant.  Soon after, she had amazing puppies who all found their forever homes.  Now, it is Ariel’s turn.  She is a great canine companion.  Not only is Ariel dog friendly, but she also loves people and has obedience training under her belt.  She can sit, shake, roll over, and obviously pose pretty for a picture.  As we said, this wonderful girl just wants to be part of your love-filled world.  So, make her happily ever after come true today.
