Adoption Diaries: Beauty
Elyse's Adoption Diary:
I can't help but boast about our adoption center here at the ASPCA. The fact that we have habitats to enable cats to socialize with one another amazes me! I was hanging out in the habitat by the front window, taking notes on a little black teenaged kitten, when I was bombarded by a hunk of orange love. Riley came roaring over to me, lept on to my lap, and began purring, rubbing and licking--he made himself right at home! I'll never know what made him like me so much, but Riley was a wonderful start to my time at the shelter after a long day at work.
Hard as it was, I eventually managed to pry myself away from Riley and move on (covered in orange hair, naturally.)
This is Levi, a gorgeous collie. His beauty took my breath away! Just look at those ears, and that wonderful tongue! Levi is almost two years old and chock full of puppy energy. He was so excited when I walked into his kennel that he could hardly stand it! Some lucky adopter is going to have tons of fun throwing around a tennis ball with Levi. I can't wait to hear about it!
Ah, Art. Art may just have one eye, but I don't think it will take too long for him to be adopted. A. We have many beautiful souls who come in and are taken with animals who are handicapped or have special needs, and B. Art is the mushiest lover imaginable!

What a lovely little guy. You can tell by his look he is OK with his injury. I have three kitties with special needs and I am so glad I decited to offer up my home. Mine are such wonderful members of my family and they are always giving back tenfold for whatever I do for them. Take a chance!
Your posts are my favorite part of the blog. I love hearing about the animals that will soon have a furever home. Sometimes, I even imagine the homes they will be living in and it makes me smile.
Thanks for sharing your little part of the world with the rest of us.
