Thankfulness (Day 9) - Fur Babies, Glorious Fur Babies

Charlotte the CatOn day 9 of Debbie Reynolds' Thanksgiving Challenge, I thought I would share one of my passions in life - sweet, sweet fur babies! Oh, how they make our days, don't they? The unconditional love is unmatched in this life and one of my favorite times of the day is arriving home, being greeted by my 3 adopted family members.

 

My entire family supports pet adoption and we always go with the intent of 'saving a dog' (or cat in Charlotte's case [our cat, pictured on the right]) and we never fail to realize, during the car ride home, that this fur baby has undoubtedly rescued US!  There's just no feeling like it - being able to give comfort, warmth, food and love to these precious gems and in return, receiving loads and loads of unconditional love and oh, such joy! They somehow, some way, march right into our hearts & instantly take them over!

 

As always, I am committed to getting the word out to ADOPT A PET!

 

Barney

 

 

 

 

We have so many adorable fur babies just waiting for you at our shelter here in Charlotte - cats and dogs alike - there's a precious little one, just waiting for someone to love. They're anxious to give you their love and appreciation and bring so much joy into your life - joy you had no idea you could experience!

November is senior pet adoption month and there are some adorable senior pets available at Charlotte's shelter. Imagine - little to no training is necessary with a senior pet!

 

 

The Humane Society has been providing spay/neuter services in Charlotte for 35+ years. In fact, Charlotte’s Spay/Neuter Clinic was the very first low-cost clinic in the entire Southeast. The Humane Society also provides vaccinations against some of the most common cat and dog diseases so, your new pet is 'protected' before he/she ever leaves the shelter.

What are you waiting for? Hop in the car and head to the Humane Society of Charlotte. You know your precious new K-9 family member will LOVE that car ride home! Some felines like car rides also - my rescue kitty surely does!

 

Humane Society of Charlotte has two locations: 

 

HSC HQ & Main Shelter:

2700 Toomey AVE, Charlotte, NC 28203

 

Petco Adoption Center:

10017 Biddick LN, Huntersville, NC 28078

Both are opened from 11AM to 5PM Tuesday through Sunday and are closed on Mondays.

 

 

*Duke, our sweet, always tail-wagging, happy boy!

Debe,

One of the nicest aspect of AR is how many of us here love our fur babies and how many of us contribute to shelters around the US.  Happy Sunday.  A

Hi Debe- Larry and I have always had fur babies but been without since we lost our last Brittany. We will be getting one next year and have vowed to adopt one this time.

Hello Debe, always great to have fur babies around and enjoy.  We want to travel more so we don't have a dog but still have our fish and neighbors feed them.

Debe, Yes fur babies with their unconditional love are a must at least once in everyone's lives.  There is nothing like it, a dog or cat or both happy to see you everytime you return home.   We are without a kitty right now since we are enjoying the freedom to take getaways at short notice, but I'm sure that will change in the future.

Hi James Dray! I cannot imagine my home without a pet, or two, or four! I remember the last dog we lost, I was so heartbroken, I told Ray I was going out one day shortly thereafter and came home with Barney! He helped ease the heartbreak more than I ever knew he would...and Ray forgave me in about an hour!

I knew you would too, Sheila Anderson - you're into adoption as much as I am!

Happy Sunday! I hope your day at the antique shop was glorious!

I agree, Ron and Alexandra Seigel and I love that! I wish I saw more helpers at our local shelter when I'm there. We need much more help than we have, for sure.

Hi Joe Pryor! I completely get that too - they're so much more a part of our hearts than we ever think they'll be...even though we do this with every single one we adopt!

We have someone stay at our house when we're gone - it's great security but, also easy on our fur babies, Will Hamm. Not displacing them is so important to us and we have found two wonderful pet/house sitters and one of them is always available for us.

All of my fur babies are 12 or 13 now and I'm so worried that when one takes the Rainbow Bridge route, they all will! I told Ray the other day, I found a cutie pie at the shelter that I wanted to adopt but, he's not quite ready to be a family of 6 (2 adults and 4 fur babies), Gloria Todor!

Debe Maxwell, CRS - I really do think the happiest people on earth are not only the busiest, they are the pet lovers who rescue and care for their fur-babies. If there is a Heaven for Animals, it has to be a thousand times better than Disneyland or Disneyworld!

A home without pets (dogs and cats especially) would be a sad and lonely home.  They really do make things better.

Love the talk about doggies.  If you are a dog fan (you're rreading this thread so I'm guessing you are) there is a show on Netflix right now called..Ta DUH!!! .......DOGS!  There were a few esisodes where I was glad I have a tissue handy.  The happiest for sure!
