Two homeless dogs

Got a message from a friend about these two homeless dogs. Her brother and his wife have them at the moment. They have no tags and are not microchipped. If you lost these dogs or are looking to give some cute dogs a good home, please contact Mary at (818) 279-5234. The dogs are in Wrightwood.

Here’s another photo of them:

Here’s some recently updated information on the dogs:

Some hunters brought in these two dogs to the friend’s brother’s work. These dogs were reported loose in the forest a couple of weeks ago but nobody brought them in. They were both very hungry, thirsty and skinny. Both dogs quickly figured out how to use the doggy door with a bit of help.

The smaller one is a girl and the bigger one is a boy; they are probably related (both shepherd mixes but the bigger boy acts older and the smaller girl acts younger. They seem very well behaved–
even Maggie, their cat didn’t bolt from them!

So please pass this information on to everyone you know.

Custard is finally going home!

Custard, our resident cat at VCA Companion Kennel Resort and Spa in Canoga Park is finally going to a home. An employee is taking him. Stay tuned for updates.

Here’s more good news! Custard, the cat that has lived with us at VCA Companion Kennel Resort and Spa (check out our facebook page) HAS BEEN ADOPTED! Our lovely colleague Erin is taking him home. Stay tuned for updates on how he is doing in his new home!! He really deserves a great place. Granted he was happy to hang out in the catroom but, in reality, a REAL HOME is the best place for him.

Congratulations Custard!

This lab needs a home!

Ty the lab was abandoned by his owners. He desparately needs a home so he doesn't get put to sleep.

Got this information from a friend on facebook. This poor guy was abandoned by his owners and is now at the San Bernardino Shelter, which is high kill. Read the message below:

Ty is a purebred, yellow lab…about 2 yrs old and he needs a home. Hewas dumped by his owners. As they left in their car, he chased after them for quite a distance, but he couldn’t keep up, and eventually lost them. The pads on Ty’s feet will require medical treatment. He is a great dog, but no one has shown interest in adopting him. He is at San Bernadino Shelter which is very high kill. A351696 (909-384-1304)

Contact: Mariah Roncetti, somethingextracasting@gmail.com.
Please Crosspost like crazy. No one has even put a hold on him at the shelter. He deserves to live. He deserves a family that will hold on to him and show him a better life.

The three little kittens!

These kittens need a home! The little black cat is hard to see in the corner, but she is there.

Here’s a story of three little kittens in Canoga Park (well not as little anymore, but they are eight+ weeks old). A feral momma kitty decided to have her kittens at a friend’s apartment complex. Once they seemed old enough, we were able to trap (humanely) the mother and three of her kittens. Unfortunately we do not know what happened to the fourth! I shutter to think what happened to the fourth kitten, but hopefully it wandered off and found a safe place to live.

When we got the mother, I immediately took her to get spayed and released. She’s too feral to be adopted, but at least she won’t make more babies. She does hang around the apartment complex and seems to love it there.

The friend’s neighbor is currently fostering these kittens. All three appear to be female, but we are not sure yet. They will get fixed in a couple of weeks, maybe sooner. We are looking to adopt them out for a reasonable adoption fee (for fixing, shots etc…). Please respond to this post if you’re interested in giving them a good home, or even fostering until they find a good home.

Here’s another photo of the two tabbies. The other kitten is black. She’s a bit more on the shy side.

Custard the Cat

Custard the cat is very comfortable on HIS scratching post (LOL!!) but we'd love to find a comfortable PERMANENT home for him!!

Oops! Sorry yet again! It’s been awhile since I’ve posted. With school and work it has been really hard. I can tell you right now that I will probably post about Custard and three other cats (they will come in another post) who need homes until they find homes. I just think it’s best to dedicate one post to each situation. But come hell or high water…we will get these cats homes somehow!

I’ve said this before but I’ll say it again for those of you that don’t know. Custard is currently living at the VCA Companion Kennel Resort and Spa! (check out the facebook page by punching the link). He’s been there since I started working there, which means he’s been there at least 2 months. His previous owners abandoned him there. He is probably about five years old (not sure…maybe younger). He’s very sweet and docile! Completely adoptable! He seems to tolerate other cats, but I’m not sure how he is with dogs.

One dilemma we’re facing is the fact that the company wants us to turn him into the animal shelter if he’s not out of there by Friday, Oct. 23. So please! If anyone is looking for a sweet, older kitty, or if someone can at least foster him, please contact the Kennel. I’d hate to see this sweet kitty go to a shelter if he doesn’t have to.

Check out a bio about him HERE!

CatGenie Pop-Up Store!

Got this information from TWITPETS! LOL!!! I can’t afford a CatGenie at the moment ($329 a pop) but I may try it in the future once things settle down financially. Check this out! A new CatGenie store opened up in Hollywood and some awesome pet-loving celebrity guests will be there. Even if you can’t make it, be sure to tune into one of Warren Eckstein’s broadcasts.

CatGenie is showing off its automatic, litter-free cat box at a new pop-up store in Los Angeles. The CatGenie store is located on level 1, suite 117 in the Hollywood and Highland Center and is open until October 7th. Pet behaviorist Warren Eckstein has partnered with CatGenie for two radiocasts of his syndicated radio show live from the store. The second broadcast is on October 3rd from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. CatGenie has also paired with local non profit rescue group, Precious Paws to offer daily cat adoptions in-store. Proceeds from onsite and online sales will benefit Precious Paws throughout the duration of the store. Susan Olsen — “Cindy” from The Brady Bunch — will also be in attendance at the October 3rd radiocast.

“The CatGenie is a product you have to see to believe,” says Steven Yampolsky, North American President of PetNovations, Inc., the company behind CatGenie. “It is not just another litter box. It is the only litter-free cat box. The CatGenie ends the touching, changing, smelling and buying of cat litter.”

Bono, cops and dogs!!

Okay…most of the people in my life know that, aside from being obsessed with creatures big and small, I’m also completely obsessed with anything U2 related. Since the mid ’80s I’ve had this almost unhealthy (well healthy for me…heheh) obsession with the band. At this moment the obsession is taking full force with the current U2360 TOUR that’s going on (Vegas and Pasadena HERE I COME!!).

Anyway…the hubby found a recent photo of Bono with some cops and dogs (drug sniffing I assume) and he knew I’d love this!! Two of my obsessions have collided!! Not sure where this photo was taken but he did get it from a German U2 website that someone posted on Twitter.

Bono, some cops and some cute black labs!!

Who let the dogs out with Bono!!
