Looking for a home: Romeo, a handsome border collie/husky mix, is six-months old. He is great with other dogs! His sweet nature and adorable ways are a winning combination. Romeo is searching for someone who will train and love him. You could be that person, so come out and meet our lover boy.
Watson here and I’ll bet that headline caught your eye. Yes, adoptions of dogs and cats will be free on Friday and Saturday. CAPS will extend their hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days.
This special is brought to you by Maddies’s Pet Project, and for each animal adopted our shelter will receive $300. It is a win-win proposition for everyone. If you have been thinking about getting a BFF (best furry friend), now is the time. Normally it costs $80.
All CAPS guests have been spayed/neutered, have current shots and are healthy. We have adorable dogs and fabulous cats. I am a graduate of CAPS, and I know how much it would mean to all the animals to find a forever home with someone to love.
It is quite an adjustment to be adopted after you have lived at CAPS. I know because I wasn’t sure what kind of home or life I would have. Of course, my mom and dad are really kind and sweet to me, but it took me a while to adjust.
When I first came home, I was frightened. My dad gave me a bath, and I spent the day lying on a little rug. I had to learn how to tell my folks I needed to go outside for the bathroom because at CAPS I had my own outdoor loo.
I had to learn a new daily routine too. Every morning I eat breakfast, go for a walk and tend to business. Usually we head to the dog park where I meet friends and catch up on my pee mail. I usually nap for a while, and before I know it it’s suppertime. We always go for a walk before supper.
I guess the best advice to folks who adopt a rescue pet is to have a routine that helps your BFF adjust to his new life. Most of all, please be patient. — XOXO Watson
