Every Sunday I’ll be featuring adoptable pets from local rescue groups. This week, I’m sharing adorable adoptables from the Humane Society of Fairfax County (HSFC) and A Forever Home Rescue Foundation (A Forever Home).
November is Adopt-a-Senior-Pet Month, so I’ve got some lovely senior pets to share with you today. You know I think that senior pets rock, so let’s find them some homes!
First up, meet Violet! This cute cat is approximately 8 years old. Here’s her bio from HSFC:
“Violet has the mischievous and frisky kitten in her that never grows up!
The female counterpart to Dennis the Menace, sometimes! So lovable
but looking for trouble. I think she is very smart and gets bored
easily. SHE thinks it fun to startle causing a cat stampede! It is
hysterical when she plays with her own feet! She expects fresh water
sips from the faucet. Very nosy about everything and every cat,
whatever is going on, she also knows what I am thinking when I am going
to get her in a carrier. She can be very sweet and wants to come to you
for affection but not too much handling, when she is in the mood. Not a
pushover and can lose her temper if provoked. So, not good for small
children.”
Up next, meet Allie! This Hound mix is approximately 8 years old. Here’s her bio from A Forever Home:
“Allie is a beautiful, regal, very loving lady. Her face is very
expressive, she looks you right in the eyes and holds your gaze. I
think she was crated way too much because she came to me not house
broken and really did not want to go up and down the stairs. It looked
like it hurt her to do so and she even limped a bit. She’s been with me
for about four months and now, she is doing great. She is working on
being house broken and goes up and down stairs. She’ll even beat you up
there! She even plays with her 3 month old foster sister every now and
then. Her crate is still her ‘safe’ place and she will need one in her
new home. Allie is spayed and up to date on her shots. She is an
older girl who loves to go for walks and does very well on a leash. She
gets stressed out on car rides. She doesn’t get sick but does drool
and sheds a lot, showing her stress. She loves to lean against you when
she wants to be pet and will put her head in your lap if you are
sitting in a chair. She will lay on the bed with you for a while but
prefers to sleep on the floor or in her crate. If you are looking for a
laid back, loving, engaging older dog to love, Allie is your girl!
Please let her teach you what unconditional love is.”
If you think you have the perfect home for Allie, visit A Forever Home for more information or email Info@aforeverhome.org. To view the other pets available for adoption at A Forever Home, click here.
A Forever Home also has a weekly adoption event at the PetCo in Chantilly. For the address and to find out more info, click here.
(If you have your eye on a specific pet, please email for information
first – not all pets will be at the weekly event. However, there are a
lot of awesome pets in need of homes, so if you’re in the neighborhood,
stop by and meet some of them!)
