Adoptions: Sugar

Cats — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 23:49:15 +0000

This handsome fella is Sugar. Sugar is currently in foster with one of our volunteers, and is looking for his forever home. Sugar is still a bit shy, but his foster mom says he is warming up more and more everyday. She thinks Sugar would do best in a single-cat house, and to a family that has older kids or is an all-adult household. He is FIV/FeLV negative, neutered, and up to date on shots. He is between 3 and 4 years old. If you think you could give Sugar the warm home needs, contact us at cats@sammyshope.org.

Hi! it’s me, Kimba…

Dogs — Sun, 19 May 2013 03:03:02 +0000

Hi! it’s me, Kimba. You might remember me… I came to the shelter after living most of my life in a basement with my dog friend. Then I got adopted, but my new dad couldn’t keep me, so I went into a foster home. Foster was great! I had dog friends to hang out with, and nice humans to take care of me. Unfortunately, circumstances changed in my foster home and I had to come back to the shelter. So here I am again. Back in Kennel #12. I see some of my old pals are still here, but I really would like to leave and find my own forever home.

My human friends call me “sensitive,” all I know is that I get really sad and upset when I am left alone. I won’t lie, it makes me cry. I would love ANY forever home, but one where I can be around my humans a lot would be terrific. I am house trained, a good boy on the leash, I can do lots of commands, and I just KNOW I could be your perfect dog! You can read more about me, and how to come visit me by clicking here. Thanks for reading my story, and I hope to see you real soon!

Pardon my slobber, I was eating delicious cookies!

Adoptions: Clive, Jelly Bean, Nermal, and ZuZu

Cats — Sat, 20 Apr 2013 19:53:05 +0000

Clive is estimated to be about eight years old. Though everything about this big cuddly teddy bear says cat, he thinks he is a dog. Clive loves to play fetch with toy mice, comes when he is called by name, and talks constantly. He will sleep with you every night and cuddle with you during the day. Clive is front declawed and an indoor cat only. Due to stomach issues, he needs to be on a sensitive stomach dry food and his intake must be limited as he has a condition in which he does not know when he is full. This big giant boy is one of the gentlest kitties you’ll ever meet. Clive prefers to have feline friends and Jelly Bean is his bestie. Rena would love to see Clive & Jelly Bean go to a home together. If you are interested in adopting Clive, please contact ludosarahfriends@hotmail.com.

Jelly Bean is estimated to be about eight years old. You have never met anyone quite like this character. Jelly Bean is part Siamese with the brightest blue eyes. Like many white cats,he is deaf so the vacuum doesn’t bother him much. Jelly Bean was also born with a foot deformity so sometimes he hobbles with a little limp but this doesn’t stop him from running around. Jelly Bean loves to snuggle and be pet…he will even nibble on your nose if you rub his back!!! Front declawed, jelly bean is an indoor cat only. He gets along wonderfully with children and would do best in a home with other kitty friends to play with, especially with his best buddy Clive. If you are interested in adopting Jelly Bean, please contact ludosarahfriends@hotmail.com.

Nermal is estimated to be about nine years old. He has a beautiful gray coat and LOVES to be held in your arms. He will make this well known to you as he rubs his head on your shoulder and purrs as loud as he can. Though shy at first, Nermal is a pure love bug once he gets to know you. He loves rolling around in your hair if you lay with him on the floor. Nermal is an indoor cat only and is a picky eater…science diet,and of course the occasional treat of milk in a bowl. He gets along with other cats and would do best in a quiet home with no children but other feline friends. If you are interested in adopting Nermal, please contact ludosarahfriends@hotmail.com.

ZuZu is as sweet as her name. This four year old princess is playful, snuggly, and just a doll. She will climb on your lap the minute you sit down and burrow into your neck for some love. ZuZu is front declawed and an indoor cat only. She tolerates other cats but prefers to be the center of attention…and she will give you lots of it!!! If you are interested in adopting Zuzu please contact ludosarahfriends@hotmail.com.

Foster Needed: 10 month old Tyger Needs Help!

Dogs — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 03:20:46 +0000

This 10 month old brindle pittie formerly lived in East Brunswick, his name is Tyger, and his owner is now homeless and living in his car. Tyger is staying in a room at his great-grandma’s for the next 3 days, but great-grandma is too old to care for this puppy. Seer Farms is full, but Tyger is on their waiting list. This is what Tyger’s grandmom has to say about him:

“My mom has Tyger in a bedroom at her home but this can only be for a few days as she is 73 and a very week 73 so Tyger is WAY too big & playful for her, She loves him (A LOT!) but she cant manage him.

Tyger is not neutered, great with everything children and pets. Of course he wants to play with everything (a puppy). He loves to run (fenced yard ideal). He is about 10 months old and 58lbs. High energy level. Loves people and playing with balls & ropes and has been eating ALPO wet and puppy chow hard dog food. He loves to play and really doesn’t like to be locked up (in a room or a car) for very long.

Thank you. I don’t know what we will do in a few days…”

Tyger has been vetted and neutered. If you can offer a temporary foster home for Tyger while his dad looks for housing, or until Seer Farms is able to take him, this sweet boy would really appreciate it! Please contact joan@sammyshope.org if you can help!

Please Help Us Help Dean!

Dogs — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 02:38:41 +0000

Dean is a beautiful, 2 year boy who sports a furry tux, the longest eyelashes and whiskers you have ever seen, and – unfortunately – really smelly breath!

Despite the pain he must be in, Dean is a sweet, gentle guy, and loves to be groomed and cuddled. He was left behind with two other cats when his owner moved, and a kind neighbor brought them to the shelter. A vet exam revealed the reason for Dean’s pungent breath – several bad teeth that need to be removed, and a good cleaning to save the rest. Once his dental issues are resolved, Dean will be ready to find his new family to love forever. If you can help us make this happen for him, please click on the “Give” button below. Thank you!
