Paddy (Humane Society of Pinellas - "Clear the Shelter")
When Irish Eyes are Smiling, …
Sure they steal your heart away…
(Or they are up to something! Hehe)
I mean can we just stop real quick and look at those eyes?!?!?!
Paddy was found…
as a kitten abandoned, and has lived with an elderly woman for the last seven years. Paddy’s owner unfortunately had to move, and was unable to take him with her.
Paddy is…
a very sweet, loving, and affectionate cat. Paddy can get overstimulated in new or louder situations. He would do best in a quiet setting, by himself, and his loving owner/s.
Paddy will…
come up to you for pets on his ears and head, and is friendly, but he is cautious as well. He might need more time to get adjusted to a new home. So, please have some patience and a whole lot of love.
“Good things come to those who wait”…
and Paddy has been waiting awhile for his forever home.
He is an amazing and handsome 7 year old cat, that just wants love and pets on his head.
He needs a quiet home with love and time to just be himself.
“A good [cat] is like a four-leaf clover…
Hard to find and lucky to have” ~Irish Proverb
“Rescuing one cat won’t change the world…
but it will change the world for one cat”

Mowgli (ARK of Tampa - "Clear the Shelter"
Hi Guys, I’m Mowgli
(you know, like the Jungle Book!) I am four and a half years young, and have a lot of love to give.
You may have noticed…
that my eyes are a little different, that is because they are special like me. I have limited sight out of my right eye and my left eye is totally fine.
That does not stop me…
from doing things dogs love to do. I love to go on car rides, give kisses, meet new people, get exercise and sniff stuff.
I can also see…
hand signals my foster parents give me, and follow them the majority of the time. I can sit, laydown, come, and go, to name a few.
The only thing is…
you have to make sure I am looking at you when giving them because I am also deaf. I am okay with it because it is something I have grown up with, but I might need things done differently.
Do things different…
will be fun, and to help with the change from average to awesome, I am very smart, attentive, and well behaved.
I would love my fur-ever family to be…
patient with me. I sometimes get anxious with change, and do best with a schedule. I need to be in a crate when you have to go out of the home.
I really want a home…
where I can relax, be myself, be loved for all of my special needs and to love on my human. I just need time, love, and patience, and I will be the best dog for you.
What do you say…
Will you be my human/family?

Tanner-Bananer
I have been MIA…
the last week or two because I thought I was losing my dog. After many days of freak-out moments, trips to the vets, and antibiotics he is doing better. He had a skin infection, ear infection, and eye infection. They think it is all linked to Cushing’s Disease, (maybe). At the same time of dealing with Tanner, my daughter was sick. There were many sleepless nights, but everyone is doing much better now.
When Tanner was sick…
it made me think about his time with us. I rescued him a week after I put down my two-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback, Khoin. He had bone cancer that spread through out his entire abdomen. After Khoin, I knew I wanted to get a rescue dog.
I found Tanner…
through Petfinder online, in the middle of August. He was six-month-old from Georgia. The rescuers were going to take him two months earlier, but thought he would get adopted. He did not, so they brought him down here, and I was the lucky one. I feel in love with his ears. I am a sucker for hound ears. (I mean they are flying in the wind)
During our first…
winter together, he would get so excited about wearing outfits. He had to wear them because of lack of fur (from mange) and body fat (being underweight). He would dance around in his outfits, all spunky like. Then during bath time, Tanner would do this funny booty shake after baths. It was a normal whole body shake, but the body would stop and just his butt would keep going. It still makes me laugh to this day.
His nose…
is always to the ground. Tanner would make “perimeter checks” at the dog park, back yard, in the house, and smell all the door knobs. I could never take him off his lease because I would lose him to whatever sent was on the ground. If I would come home smelling of another dog, I had the “sniff-degree” when I came home. He will use his nose to smell all around your face, and then blow out. Every now and then you would get a kiss on your forehead, if you were a lucky chosen one.
He is now…
12 years old, and the brother to now four cats and three children. He loves all of them so much, but I am totally his favorite. Well, the little human (my daughter) might be one of his favorites because she drops food. He is just a great dog, that loves his food, digging in the dirt, and smelling things. We love you Tanner!
Sunnie
“Look at the ‘Sunnie’-side of everything”
~Christian D. Larsen
This is past weekend…
I met an awesome dog named Sunnie. Sunnie was rescued by her marvelous mom, Kayla, when she was a year old from the great state of Colorado.
She is now…
at the spunky age of eight and turning nine this year.
Sunnie is a…
Boston Terrier with a fun personality. Everyone that saw her at the park, just wanted to stop, pet, and talk about her. She loved everyone she came in contact with.
Sunnie loves…
her toys, treats, and chasing lizards (don’t worry no lizards have been hurt).
It was…
nice to meet you Sunnie, and thank you for letting me take your pictures!
