Meet Posey and Paul - TAILS Pets of the Week!

 

       

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Posey is a very intelligent puppy who is easily trained.  She has already been taught some basic obedience and knows sit, down, stay and come.  Posey is a high energy girl and would love to live with someone that shares her love of life and fun.  She would do well being trained for a job or agility as she really wants to please. Her sister went home last week and now it is Posey's turn.  For this week only her adoption fee is waived and she comes with free TAILS obedience classes.

Pauls precarious life as a stray ended when a kind gentleman picked him up and gave him a nice home with other previously stray cats.  After some time in his new home his owner died and his children found him rescue at TAILS.  Paul has an old injury to his left ear which leaves him looking rather dignified.  He is a shy cat at first and takes a little time to find comfort in new circumstances.  For this week only her adoption fee is waived and she comes with a free cat carrier full of her favorite toys.

Cami 

My son and his family just adopted a Beagle puppy mix named Cami!  She has been so very good and they are delighted.  Katie spent a long time with them helping them get started on the right foot to ensure a permanent home for Cami and a good experience for her human family.  They look forward to a long and happy life together.  Cami recently spent time at our house visiting and she played with our Tails rescue dog, a 15 year old Dachshund named Daisy.  They must have known each other were from a shelter because they had an instant attraction.  A joy to watch them both.
