PAWS Animal Shelter (cat)

Adorable Mango is a beautiful cat waiting for someone to adopt her. She is a sweet girl looking for a good forever home. She would be the ideal companion for quiet evenings, curled up on the couch beside you. Mango may be just the friend you are looking for. She is playful, curious and affectionate. Mango is a sweet cat with a great personality to match! She would be the purr-fect pet!

PAWS Animal Shelter (dog)

Ranger was abandoned in one of PAWS’ outside kennels. He was extremely scared and nervous when the staff found him the following morning. Ranger has been with us several months now and he has regained his confidence and now is a tail-wagging, bundle of love. He seems to get along well with his kennel mates and all the staff and volunteers. He is not yet comfortable walking in a leash but when he finds his new loving home, I think he will become more trusting of the leash. Ranger is 1-2 years old and would make a great addition to a family. He is neutered. Please stop and meet Ranger.

All of our dogs are looking for a loving home where they can be taken care of for the rest of their lives.

Champaign County Animal Welfare League

Champaign County Animal Welfare League (CCAWL) would like to introduce Snowball, a Yorkie mix little lady. Snowball came to CCAWL as an owner surrender and she would love to find her forever home. She is 10 months old and weighs a little over 9 pounds. Snowball is pee-pad trained as well as house-trained. She likes children and is good with other dogs and cats. Her personality is cheerful but a little timid. She would thrive with love and attention from a caring owner. As with all CCAWL pets, Snowball is spayed and fully vetted which includes heart worm testing and prevention, fully vaccinated, wormed and flea and tick prevention. All CCAWL dogs also have been micro chipped and come with their 2017 Ohio Dog License. You are welcome to meet Snowball or any other of the adoptable pets at 3858 State Route 56, Mechanicsburg. Our phone number is 937-834-5236. We do require an approved adoption application for all adoptions. You can fill out an application at our facility or download an application from our webpage at www.champaigncoanimalwelfareleague.com. Our adoption donation is $150 and must be paid by check or cash. The most common pest your dog can pick up on a walk—or at home—is fleas. Infestation can be easily prevented and eliminated with a number of products available, including topical treatments to oral tablets. Another pest you may encounter outdoors is mosquitoes, which can spread diseases, such as heartworm. Dogs with heartworm infections can develop often life-threatening problems over time. The worms grow in the heart and can migrate to other organs. Animals who share the wonderful outdoors, such as raccoons, coyotes and squirrels, can also transmit internal parasites. As a puppy, your dog was dewormed, but that doesn’t mean he has a life-long protection. He can also become infected with parasites later in life. Your veterinarian can test your dog’s stool and, if needed, provide treatment for him. Just a friendly reminder, The Champaign County Animal Welfare League will be closed this Saturday, May 6, and is always closed the first Saturday of every month.

Barely Used Pets

My name is Bristol, and well, I am back at the ranch. I am a 1-year-old boxer girl and I only have one blue eye. You see, everyone thought I was good with cats, but at some point I decided “not so much.” I went home to a great family, but I kind of tried to eat their cat a few times. So back I came. I don’t know why I don’t get along with cats anymore…I just don’t! So, this means I need a home without felines running around. I am a super sweet girl. I am what they call “well behaved” and I even know some commands. I am also already house-trained…yes I am! Listen, NO CATS…No way, No how. BUT if you have a dog already at home, bring him (or her) with you to Barely Used Pets. That way we can spend some time out in the yard together to see how well we get along. I just need another chance to fit into a family, because I sure do need one of my own. Please come out and see me. If you like blue eyes…I’ll keep you on my blue-eye side. I will give you lots and lots of love…I promise to be a good girl for you.

Please visit our website: www.barelyusedpets.com. Also, like us on Facebook at Barely Used Pets Rescue (put spaces between the words). Barely Used Pets is located at 844 Jackson Hill Road in Urbana, Ohio. You can give us a call at 937-869-8090. Our regular hours are: Open Sunday 1-4pm, Wednesday and Thursdays 11am-6pm, Fridays 11am-5pm and Saturday 11am-2pm. We are CLOSED on Monday and Tuesday. We can always use donations and they are all of those basic supplies that we use so quickly. We are in real need of lots and lots of paper towels! If you can bring us some we would surely appreciate it. Miss Briston says…”Thanks so much for considering me and helping Barely Used Pets help all of us little ones find our forever homes! OK…so what are you waiting for? Let’s go home!”

Young Ranger was nervous and wary when found in an outside kennel at PAWS, but now gets along with PAWS people and dogs. He needs someone to welcome him into their home.

A little timid, but cheerful, Snowball likes children, dogs and cats and would thrive with a caring owner, according to current caretakers, who hope the perfect person will visit her at the Champaign County Animal Welfare League.

Bristol is a one-blue-eyed boxer at Barely Used Pets. She doesn’t do well with cats, but dog owners are invited to take their dog(s) when visiting the shelter to see whether they and Bristol can be pals.
