Looking for some Christmas love


It seems like my last several blog posts have been starting out with “it’s been a long time …” so let me make my first New Year’s resolution for 2013 – I will get to the shelter once a week to take photos and write about all the wonderful pups I meet there.

I have no favorites from last night – they were all sweet and even the puppies were not too crazy.

Ice Frosting (WCAC ID: 82263)
Ice Frosting is a sweet boy who needs a good home. He’s on the skinny side, which makes him a little grabby where treats are concerned, but he sat nicely. That face just screams “snuggle-bug” wanting the rest of his life to be filled with love and kisses.

Miss Mittens (WCAC ID: 82013)
This little pittie, Miss Mittens, was showing her serious side for the camera, but in person she’s a bouncy, happy girl who loves to play with her bone. Rumor has it she was getting spayed today so by the time you read this she’ll be ready to go home with you right away – no waiting for Christmas necessary.

Turtle Dove (WCAC ID: 82278)
Two Turtle Dove is still on stray hold, but if you’re looking for a super soft dog with the cutest little sit routine – he always raises that paw – I’d stop by right away to visit him and put a deposit down. That way if no one comes for him he’ll be yours. And, yes there’s more: Since he’s already neutered, his adoption fee will be only $45 and he can go home with you Sunday!

Sasha Fierce (WCAC ID: 81497)
Sleigh Horse (WCAC ID: 82055)
Puppies this week were Sasha Fierce and Sleigh Horse. Yes, they are full of puppy energy, but given a bit of time they both settle down nicely. Sasha’s a year old, which means she shouldn’t grow much bigger and is a great size – kind of a mini-pittie. Sleigh Horse knew how to sit, but at just four months old sitting still to have his picture taken was just not going to happen.

Santameister (WCAC ID: 82021)
I thought I’d end with someone to really pull at your heartstrings at this sentimental time of year. Santameister is a year-old Boxer mix male who had his neuter surgery in hopes that he finds his furever family and can be home in time for Christmas. Look at that face? How can you resist?

Get up, get in the car, go to the Wake County Animal Center (WCAC) at 820 Beacon Lake Drive (click for map) and make everyone’s Christmas wishes come true.
