Louie	Calli
Well, the first thing you need to know about me is that I absolutely love playing ball so if you want to adopt me please be sure you can play ball! Other than that I only ask that you are kind to me and that you will allow me to love you. I would not mind if there were kids in the family; I get along so well with them, mostly because they love to play ball too. If you don’t like to play ball then we could go on a walk together, I have pretty good leash manners and I know how to sit when asked. All in all I think I would be a nice addition to any family, now if one would just choose me. I am a little over two years old and so anxious to leave the shelter. I feel sad when I see other dogs being chosen for adoption, please don’t make me wait much longer.	I have been waiting for about four months for a new home. I was living in a not so nice place before coming to the shelter now I wish someone nice would see me and take me to new home. I can’t live with other cats but dogs are fine. I don’t mind children either. I am a little over a year old and spayed. I have good manners and know about the litter box. My favorite thing is getting brushed, I just love that. I know there are so many cats that need a home so I worry I may never find my family but I am hoping this is my lucky week. Come on now, get to the shelter this week, I am waiting for you.

KELLY NEEDS A SPECIAL HOME!!!
I am seeking a new home and the sooner I find one the better! Everyone says I am old and “cranky.” Well, let me just tell you what I have had to endure and see if you would not be a bit cranky too. First of all I had a home where I lived for 13 years, that’s right all my life until now. Suddenly the people who had me decided to move but said I could not go along imagine my shock when I ended up at the shelter. I am used to being quiet, no other animals around, peace and quiet. Well this shelter is none of those tings. Sure I get fed very well and cared for but there is no peace and quiet here, my nerves are frayed! Sometimes I can be in a room by myself and then I am fine and allow the staff to pet me. But then I have to go back to my space where there are other animals and I just can’t adjust. Nobody wants me because they say I am too old; age is just a number, I don’t feel old. I am already spayed and I am declawed. Many people have expressed a desire to give me a home but they are so far away. Can you believe it; some one from a country called Austria wants me and someone in Kentucky and North Carolina. I just don’t want to travel so far away so I am asking for a chance to stay around here. Surely there are people right here in Somerset County that could give me a nice quiet place to live, a place where I can be the only pet. I really wish some one needing a sensible companion would consider allowing me to spend my senior years with them. I may be scared at first but if you are patient I can be your friend.

FAREWELL JOAN!!!
