Animal Allies

Are you looking for a calm, friendly, senior dog as a companion?  The Superior Animal Allies would like you to meet Patrick.  You can't really tell from the picture, but Patrick is a Basset Hound/German Shepherd mix.  He's short and long and pretty cute too.

Animal Allies is starting a new program called Spring Break Camp.  It will run during student's spring bring April 8-12.  Kids ages 8-12 can learn about how to care for animals, and do some volunteer work for the shelter.

Maxxis is a very loveable cat and one of the shelter's favorites.   However, Maxxis has Feline Immunodeficiency Syndrome (FIV) and is looking for someone to love him and take him home.  His condition only requires that he stays completely indoors and doesn't live with any other cats that are FIV negative.  Otherwise there is nothing else he needs besides a good home!

Today we talked with Betsy from Animal Allies and she shared some exciting fundraising events that are coming up along with the pet of the week Savannah.  Betsy described her as a very loving and cuddling cat that also enjoys a little bit of alone time.

I always think it's funny when people name pets traditional people names.  Steven is one of the longest residents at the shelter, and he's really looking for a nice home where he can be the only pet.  He doesn't need a lot of attention and likes his independence.

Quick! Somebody call the doctor! Anna featured this loveable cat this morning as the featured pet for Animal Allies. You can take this guy home and get him at a reduced price.

Actually, this dog goes by two names:  Scrappy or Happy.  They sometimes can't help but call her happy because she is so eager to jump up into your lap.  She's a pitbull/terrier mix, but a much shorter pitbull than you'd expect.

Her heart is as big as her voice is on stage!  She (like me) LOVES puppies/dogs.  She has six adopted dogs herself and is trying to help the four million dogs in shelters find a forever home.  She has signed on with Pedigree to help make that happen.

Once again this morning we talked to Anna from Animal Allies about what's happening at the shelter.  We'll talk more about Ellie the cat in a bit, but we also want to remind you about the promotions that are going on.  Animal Allies is currently helping control the pet population with "beat the heat."  For just 20 dollars you can have your cat spayed or neutered.  Also there's the "

  I am a dog lover, plain and simple.  I can seek out dogs and puppies ANYWHERE!  This is our new puppy, Bauer, aka: jaws.  But, he is getting much better.  He's potty trained now and doesn't bite (he's teething) as much as he use to.  We have a routine and he's getting a long well with our older Schnauzer, Ruemmele.  I was surprised to see that Minnesota ranks 42 in having dogs as household pets.

Endo, a mastiff, showed up at the Superior Animal Allies shelter as a stray.  With the modern technology of micro-chipping pets, they were able to see where Endo came from, which was a long way from here!

I actually laughed out loud when I saw this.  What the heck are these cats doing?  Sometimes cats do things that we never will fully understand, and it sure looks like they were doing patty cake.
