Who Are Pet Celebrities?
 
  The wonderful pets featured below are recommended by volunteers based on the most need, special
circumstances, or  simply overlooked and waiting in shelters the longest.  Please give them your consideration.  Many never get a home.

Meet Mickey and Shadow! These are two bonded brothers who absolutely love each other! After being abandoned in an apartment, they were taken to the shelter. Shelter life can be tough, so they soon came to Pitty Love.
(continued in next cube)

These two are bonded and will need to be placed together but they are two fantastic dogs and would make a great addition to any home.  Enlarged Photo

Shadow is his brother's support system and protector, as you can see Mickey is a tripod. We don't know how he came to lose his front leg but it doesn't seem to slow him down any. They are currently fostered with dogs and cats and get along with everyone beautifully. We will be trying to fit Mickey with a cart so he can run like the wind :)  Pitty Love Rescue      pittyloverescue@gmail.com

Blossom is a purebred Brown Tabby Persian. She is 2 years old and loves to be held and snuggled. She is super sweet and gets along well with other cats. Her adoption fee is 150.00. All of our cats have been spayed/neutered, had their distemper and rabies shots, flea treated, combo tested, and dewormed.  Another Chance Pet Rescue   (585) 234-0942   Meet Walker, a 7 month old, male, Pit Bull Terrier/ American Staffordshire Terrier mix. Walker was rescued from a local pound and is waiting for interviews!!!!  www.goingtothedogsrescue.org 
Meet Bieber, a 1 year old Domestic Short Hair.  Bieber is a super sweet girl who loves to be held and enjoys cuddling.  As you can tell from her picture, she loves to roll around and purr when you give her love and attention.  Although a mellow girl, she’ll ask for attention with cute little meows and kneads bread like a seasoned baker.

Meet Carmello, a 6 month old Lab/Terrier mix.   Carmelo is happy, playful puppy.  His name says it all - he's a star player!  He doesn't pull too much on his leash, but he will try to play with you every chance he gets.  He also likes to take time to stop and sit at your feet for a minute of much needed love and affection.  He has beautiful light eyes that speak volumes of the beautiful soul that he is and he has a soft, shiny coat of brown fur that  makes you want to hug him.  Rochester Animal Services    Driving Instructions to RAS    This Week's Featured Dogs  at RAS.
 Snow White came to us on a transport with 20 Chihuahua's from a puppy mill that is closing down. She is considered a tea cup and weighs about 4 pounds. She is the most social of the group, running up to you with her tail wagging. She is still getting used to the sensation of being picked up and held but seems to be liking that more and more everyday. She is working on her house- training and is doing very well in such a short amount of time.   Read more.   Another Chance Ranch.  papillon1254@rochester.rr.com  Upcoming Events:

Sammy is a 9-year-old Lab/Husky mix. He weighs about 80 pounds. Sammy was adopted from Lollypop Farm a few years ago and then recently returned because his owner was having personal problems and couldn’t keep taking care of a dog. Sammy does well on the leash and has great doggie manners! However, he does need to go to a home without other dogs, cats or small animals -- he simply gets along the best with humans! Sammy is available in the Seniors-for-Seniors program, so adopters age 60 and older can take him home free of charge! If you’d like more information about Sammy (#14098595), call 585-223-1330 or visit Lollypop Farm, the Humane Society of Greater Rochester, at 99 Victor Road in Fairport

Panda is a 2-year-old female cat who was brought to Lollypop Farm with three other cats. They have been adopted, so Panda hopes it’s her turn now! Panda was brought to Lollypop Farm because her family felt that they didn’t have enough time for a cat. Panda is playful and has a cute meow. She has lived with dogs and cats before, but she may prefer to be the only pet in the household. Panda has extra toes on her front paws! This occurs in some cats and makes their feet look like mittens. These cats are called polydactyls, and some people consider them to be lucky! If you would like more information about Panda (#14098595), please call 585-223-1330 or Lollypop Farm, the Humane Society of Greater Rochester, at 99 Victor Road in Fairport
Eadie Cobb was born April 12, 2006 and weighs just under 6 lbs.  She is one cute little Chihuahua and has a wonderful personality to go along with her cuteness!  Eadie has been living in a breeding facility creating more Chihuahua's than the world really needed so the puppy mill closed and now she gets to see how a dog is really supposed to live.  She has been living in a cage with no access to potty elsewhere so she will need house training.  Also, you need to understand that many of these tiny dogs need floor potty pad throughout their lives as they just can't help having accidents.  Read More.   Joyful Rescues   (716) 372-3661 joyfulrescues@hughes.net Bugsy's Note:   Eadie has what appear to be other siblings listed on the Joyful Rescue site.
Meet our darling Shasa that was sent to the shetler because her owners do not have time for her. She is so sweet and her foster home is so in love with her! She is 6 years old, housebroken and weighs approximately 16 lbs. She is really a Boston Terrier with a longer nose... so we have to say mix breed, but boy is she very close to breed standard. A very nice girl looking for that wonderful home in Rochester, NY. Read More.  Contact Lori  Lmufford@rochester.rr.com. Duffy's Friends, Inc.   
See Square to left ---- Meet MIKEY (Grey, 16 year old, declawed male) and his Buddy - ELY (2 year old neutered male.  Mikey is declawed and loves to sit in your lap while watching TV. He is best friends with young Ely, who is only 2 years old.  Ely has always lived with his friend Mikie.   We are hoping for a home together.  Age is obviously not a barrier to love or friendship.  Available at the Humane Society of Wayne County.     Mikie is eligible for the Adult Companion Program but if you want them both ask about 2 for 1 incentives to good, qualified homes.
Bugsy's Note:  This is Juanita - a spayed female, short haired tiger now available for adoption at Webster PetSmart.  Juanita has been in the HSWC shelter system since she was a kitten and now is about 8-9 months old.  (photo is as a kitten).  Her two sisters got adopted.  She is at the adoption center at the Webster Petsmart and is one of the prettiest girls I have ever seen.  She just keeps getting overlooked because she is a smart, independent girl, who loves to erase our blackboard, retrieve feather stick toy after stick toy, eat our people pizza, dig in our purses and generally is full of the dickens.Why she hasn't gone home? She growls (a low grumble) when you try to restrain her or  steal her toy; she grumbles (growl sound, but no hiss, no bite ever) at another cat trying to steal her stuff.  (continued next cube)
She plays, plays, plays.  Once the other cats are in their condos and we give her one on one time, she snuggles in our coats on the bench and loves people attention.  We volunteers have known  her for 2 months now and feel she is so overlooked primarily because she doesn't kiss up as much as some of the other 1 year old's we have.   She is a hoot and will make you laugh.  In the right home, I am sure she will cuddle with her owner, but she is not an automatic lap cat.  But if you want to laugh and praise her antics, and celebrate her beauty, she is the girl for you.  We call her the "Princess and the Pea" because she considers herself a princess and the rest of us as subjects.  Other cats?  She doesn't rumble and roll and wrestle with others, mostly gives them a "Grumble", but she would be fine with other cats.  But, probably won't groom them or cuddle with them initially. Stop in and see her at the Webster PetSmart.  Tell Juanita that Judy Sent You.  She will Grumble about it.  
A sampling of pets eligible for the Humane Society of Wayne County Adult Companion Program.  If you are over 50 & the pet over 3, the shelter will waive the  adoption fees to qualified adopters.

  Katie is a very sweet and pretty declawed female tiger. Although she likes people, she does NOT enjoy the company of other cats. She has decided the kitchen counter and bathtub are safe places to stay away from the other cats in her foster home but she would love to be the only cat in a new home! Hearthside Cats, Inc. (585) 243-0873 vraschi@aol.com     Meet Purr Purr.   Purr Purr is 6 years old and has been at HSWC since April of this year.  Bugsy's Note:   I met Purr Purr during her stay at Webster PetSmart.   She is grouchy as can be about being in the shelter system at this age.  She hated being grabbed, picked up, and put in her cage.  Cute, petite, with a white mustache, she will need someone to give her a quiet environment where she can live at her own terms until she trusts again and warms up to you.   She wants peace and quiet and just needs to be "let be" untill she can adapt again.  Humane Society of Wayne County Adult Companion Program.
My name is Mina, I am approximately 2 years old, have a long and fluffy hairstyle,  and would really like a human to call my own. I am a bit of a prima donna who loves to be brushed and talked to. I can be very vocal, especially when seeking your attention. I love to pass my days watching birds and squirrels from the window. My favorite pastime is having someone play with me using a laser pointer. Read More!   Paws &PurrsRescue,   Pawsandpurrsrescue@hotmail.com  585-889-2761  what a pretty girl! Ping Pong is a handsome 6 year old pug who has some vision impairment, but you'd never know. Ping Pong's foster mom just adores the little guy. She writes:  "Ping Pong is adjusting very well. Within 12 hours or so he had oriented himself within the house and the back yard. He loves going for car rides, but prefers big Chevy trucks with a large console to perch on. He does well in the bathtub and isn't at all aggressive at breakfast and dinner. I've started him on a grain-free diet. Buffalo Pug & Small Breed Rescue Inc., Alden, NY Email Lindsay 585-598-672
Hi everyone! My name is Pumpkin. I have grown a bit taller now but am still on the slender side. I may have some hound in me. I have some other friends now that I like to play with and am a busy girl who likes to explore new things and run and play. I am getting better with potty training and if let out on a regular basis, I do much better. I am a very sweet girl and give kisses too! I am still looking for a foster who has time at home for me. You might want to keep me too since I am a special girl :-)

Molly is a 6yr. old lab mix who came to Rudy's when her family fell on hard financial times. She's been with me 4 months now, and has made a lot of progress in that time, including losing 15 pounds! It was recently discovered that Molly has hip dysplasia, but that hasn't affected her life all that much. The vet says she should be able to have a pretty comfortable life as long as she keeps her weight down, takes daily glucosamine (which is inexpensive and easy to give), and has a well cushioned dog bed to lay on. read more   Rudy's Rescue - Upstate NY Labrador Retriever Rescue
Meet Lucy,   a 1 yr old beautiful long-haired gray cat, who, as you can see, likes nothing better than to make herself comfortable wherever she can, even if its a tight fit!
