Looking to add a sweet Kitty to your family?

Boy was I a mess when I got to Animal Friends. My fur was so matted that they had to shave me completely! Nowadays things are great. I live in a foster home with my friends and my hair is growing back. But things could be better; I could really use a permanent place to stay and a family to snuggle up with on those cold nights. My hair is growing back in and I’m dying to meet a loving, caring family without kids or else older children. I hope it’s you! Please Visit Animal Friends to learn more about me!  
 

Looking for a friend to exercise with?

Hi I’m Blaze,  Let me describe my perfect home to you: I would prefer to live with kids over 12. I’m big and pretty rambunctious, so I might accidentally hurt someone. I LOVE to play with other dogs. Of course, I’d need to meet any potential canine siblings before I move in to make sure we all get along. I don’t know how I feel about cats. If you have one at home, please ask an adoption counselor to test me. I’m VERY active. I’ll need a family with the time and energy to keep me exercised and entertained.

Nova Scotia is full of love to give!

Greetings! I’m Nova Scotia and don’t let my name fool you. I may sound cold and remote, but in reality I’m warm, affectionate, and looking for my new home! 
I love people although I admit that I have some vision loss and I’m a little skittish so I wouldn’t do well with younger kids, but I have a lot of love to give. I’d be glad to stop over from my foster home to meet you and say hello! Please contact Animal Friends to find out more about me! 

Gem is looking for a family to love!

 

Gem is practically a kitten, and she still has that fun-loving and curious spirit in her soul.

We think Gem would be happiest in a home with adults and older children. If you’ve been looking for a cat who is perfectly precious, our Gem may be just the girl for you.  To Learn more about Gem Please visit Animal Friends.

Polly Needs a Home

Like many pit bulls, I feel that I’m a little misunderstood. Everyone here at Animal Friends says that I’m such a sweetheart, but it makes me a little sad to see all of my friends move on to their forever homes while I’m still waiting here.
I can’t figure out why. I love to run outside and play, and I could chase toys and balls in the yard all day long. But I’d like relaxing with you as well! As a stray, I’ve definitely got a harder learning curve; I’m still working on my potty training and I sometimes get too excited and tug and pull at the leash. So I’m looking for someone who’s willing to take charge, probably with older children if they have any.
And best of all, my old friend Ezra has sponsored my adoption fee – so you’ve got no excuse not to come take me home! Visit Animal Friends Today! 

We urge you to adopt!

Did you know about 90 percent of puppies sold in a pet store come from puppy mills? Do you know anything about puppy mills?
Puppy mills are not only exploitive, they are cruel and abusive high volume production breeders.  As the name implies, these are factories that turn out dogs. The breeding parents are kept in perpetual servitude and inhumane conditions.
Volume isn’t the only mark of exploitation. Many pure breeds have genetic defects associated with them as a result of inbreeding over generations for a particular look.
Breeders are exploitive when they don’t test for these genetic flaws before mating their animals and perpetuate defects like deafness, crippling hip problems, blindness, etc. Also, anyone who breeds dogs that can’t give birth without a C-section, as is the case with some pug lines, is exploitive.
The real guilt in all this, however, belongs with the pet trade that perpetuates these and other practices that cause so much suffering to animals and contribute to the national shame of millions of homeless pets dying in shelters each year. Please if considering your next pet, adopt! 
Sara volunteers at Animal Friends in Pittsburgh PA and we have teamed up with them to highlite animals up for adoption.  So if your looking for a new companion to give a loving forever home to, please check here daily. You may just find your newest family member!

Jesse James & Pup Cinnabun reunited!

After three weeks of a desperate search for his beloved pit bull, Jesse James Tweeted today that he and CinnaBun have been reunited.
Along with a photo of Cinnabun putting her paws up to his chest in a happy greeting, James posted this message: “So Happy! Thnx Everyone for all the help! She looks like she hz had quite the Adventure!”
James had hired a pet detective and offered a reward of $5,000 for the dog’s return. According to TMZ, the West Coast Choppers honcho got a call from someone who had seen CinnaBun’s picture on a flier. The woman brought CinnaBun to James’s Long Beach bike shop, where upon sight of the long-lost pooch, the crew started crying.  We know how helpless you can feel when a beloved pet is missing, glad this episode had a happy ending for Jesse and Cinnabun.
