Sweet Pea certainly lives up to her namesake. She is a kind, loving young adult cat who is in search of a family of her very own. She is a gentle cuddler and hardly stops purring with contentment!

It’s Valentine’s Day as I write this letter and I am wondering whether my dog, Henry, loves me. No seriously, he acts like he does. He follows me around looking all moony eyed and he is ludicrously happy when I come home from work and he snuggles up with me every night.

Help! I just adopted Lolita, an adorable puppy mill dog from a shelter, and I am discovering that she eats poop; her own poop, poop that she finds in the yard, poop that she finds in the litter box. It’s disgusting and I am worried that it will make her sick.

Timmy is a gentle, lover boy looking for a cuddly family to call his own. He was found outside in the cold this month. Once indoors, he only wanted to stay.

I was reading the Oswego County Humane Society newsletter and they talked about needing more foster homes for rescued animals. I was thinking about volunteering to do that, but here is my dilemma.

Ripley is friendly and sweet and looking for a fur-ever home. She first came to us a few weeks ago with a litter of kittens in tow. She was a very good momma cat and her kids are all weaned.

Snowball is a sweet, gentle lover whom is looking for a forever home to call his own. Snowball is approximately 2-4 years old, deaf, up-to-date on all his vaccines, and is already neutered.

Last week we talked about service animals, what they are, what federal laws have to say about them and where people with disabilities are allowed to take them. Emotional support animals are a whole different category.
