“Creamsicle is a 7 year old, 8 pound, blue eyed, cream point Siamese mix. She was found as a stray and came to New Leash to find her forever inside home. Creamsicle is friendly and likes having her head and ears scratched. She loves sleeping on her back with her belly exposed but she doesn’t like her belly rubbed! Creamsicle would be best as the only cat as she does NOT care for other cats. She was picked on by the cats at the finder’s home and therefore she hid all the time. She has an old corneal ulcer in her right eye, but it doesn’t appear to bother her except she will squint periodically. With all of this said, Creamsicle is a wonderful cat that deserves a loving forever home. Come to the PetSmart in Mt. Juliet’s Providence Marketplace and meet Creamsicle and adopt her for $85.00. Creamsicle is litter box trained, spayed, microchipped and current on vaccinations. Adoption Center Policy: All cats must be INDOOR ONLY and shall NOT be declawed.”

This week’s pick is Lassie from New Leash on Life.

Brief Description:
-Anatolian Shepherd/Mix
-Female
-10 years
-Red/Golden
-Neutered, microchipped
-Up to date on vaccinations
-Adoption Fee $65

Animal ID 16460128

“Lassie is the classic family dog. Her very name symbolizes loyalty, courage, beauty and grace, and most of all everyone’s love for pets. She recently lost her home through no fault of her own. That was very sad. And this is a dog who was really made for a home (with no other pets). Lassie loves people! She is a wonderful, friendly, long-legged girl and from what we can tell she is an Anatolian Shepherd. She is super sweet and gentle to people but would do best without any other animals in the house. Lassie is 10.5 years old but she is a new kind of “doggie boomer”. She’s lived a long life but she still has plenty of things on her bucket list. There are sunrays to absorb, people to befriend and many more treats to enjoy. And Lassie intends to do it all!

Lassie weighs 80 pounds – she is a big loveable girl with copper colored eyes and brownish/red/golden hair. She would probably be best in a family with no other pets but she’s ready and willing to give you as much love as an entire pack! Lassie is spayed and current on all vaccinations and will be micro-chipped prior to adoption. **This lovely lass has a sponsor so you can adopt Lassie for just $65.00!** Lassie is ready to come home and she just wants to live her retirement dream! Could you give this sweetheart a second chance at happiness? If it’s not the right time for you to adopt, please consider becoming a ‘Guardian’ to help Lassie and other homeless pets each month. Just visit: http://www.newleashonline.org and click on Programs, then Guardian Guild for more information. (Pet ID # D12-174)

Bandit

This week’s pick is Bandit from New Leash on Life.

Brief Description:
-6 years 11 months
-Male
-Beagle/Mix
-Black/White
-Neutered, microchipped
-Up to date on vaccinations
Animal ID 17088038

“Bandit is a little bashful, but oh so dear! This 6 1/2 year old, 44 pound, black and white Beagle mix came to New Leash on Life in August of 2012 because his owner wanted him to have a better life. If you look into Bandit’s warm brown eyes, you’ll see a mix of shyness and hope; hope that you will understand his shyness and give him the security and love he so deserves. This is a dog who just wants someone to take a chance on him. Unlike most adoptions, and against policy, New Leash will allow Bandit to be adopted as an outdoor dog IF there is a safe and securely fenced-in backyard with adequate shelter available. As you give him love and treats, Bandit will bond nicely with you but we offer a 7 day Doggie Sleepover trial, so inquire if interested in taking that avenue.

NEWS FLASH: Bandit has a girlfriend, “Victory” who has been at New Leash on Life since July of 2012. They share the same kennel as well as similar dreams for a new family! Both enjoy playing or just hanging out together. Having a girlfriend has really helped Bandit to blossom and not be so shy.

Victory

Bandit is available for adoption for $60 as part of his fee has been sponsored. Or, you can adopt these two lovebirds as a pair for $85. They are both spayed/neutered, micro-chipped and current on vaccinations. If it’s not the right time for you to adopt, please consider becoming a ‘Guardian’ to help Bandit and other homeless pets each month. Just visit: http://www.newleashonline.org.

This week’s pick is Cosmo from New Leash on Life

Brief Description:

-5 month old Puppy
-Male
-Terrier, Pit Bull Mix
-Brindle
Animal ID 19274890

“Cosmo is SUCH a beauty! This sweet, bouncy brindle Pit Bull Terrier mix puppy has eyes that could melt any heart, and he had us wrapped around his paw from the moment he walked through our door. If you spend even a little time with him, you’ll feel the same way! Cosmo is a stunning, almost 5 month old, active puppy that enjoys being with people. He came to New Leash on Life from Wilson County Animal Control so he could find his forever home. We think Cosmo will be a medium to large size dog when fully grown.

NEWS FLASH!! Cosmo found a buddy to play with every day! Maverick is his older and wiser friend, who plays with him all day outside in the sunshine. They have a real blast playing around with each other all day (and wear each other out – which is a good thing!!) Cosmo has been neutered, micro-chipped and is current on age appropriate vaccinations. Puppies are so much fun but they need to be taught all those good things that puppies need to learn in order to grow up to be fabulous adult dogs. A puppy is a project! But they also bring so much love and joy. There’s nothing Cosmo would love more than to grow right up into your family. If you’ve been looking for that perfect puppy to grow up and explore the world with, Cosmo is sure to warm your heart. Come meet this sweet “bully” boy and adopt him for $135.00. **A home visit is required for this breed.**”

This week’s pick is Tyler from New Leash on Life.

Brief Description:

-3 month old Puppy
-Male
-Beagle Mix
-Black/Tan

“Meet Tyler. He is 1 of 8 puppies brought to us by animal control. He and his siblings: Jenna, Jeremy, and Elena (to name just a few), were in foster care with their momma Karen. Tyler and his siblings are now old enough to be in a shelter environment so come on down and meet them! They all appear to be either Beagle or Beagle/Heeler mixes. Tyler looks more Beagle than anything with his black/tan coloring and big floppy ears! He is 5.6 pounds and is almost three months old. Tyler will be neutered, microchipped and age appropriately vaccinated prior to adoption. Tyler and littermates are $135 each.”

Each week we will feature animals available for adoption at local shelters. This week’s pick is Fiddle from New Leash on Life.

Brief Description:
-Domestic Medium Hair Mix
-Male
-3 months old
-Housetrained
-Current on all vaccinations

“Tis the Season…yes it’s that time of year – no we aren’t talking about the upcoming Holiday Season but another kitten season! Fiddle and his 4 litter mates are very thankful for many reasons. They were found abandoned, cold and scared, but they are now safe and warm at New Leash on Life. Fiddle is a handsome grey and white, 2 1/2 month old, medium hair kitten. He is sweet and loving and dreams of finding his “furever” home. Fiddle is litter box trained and will be neutered, microchipped and current on age appropriate vaccinations prior to adoption. Adopt this fabulous feline for only $100 or consider adopting him with a litter mate for only $150.00. Adoption Center Policy: All cats must be INDOOR ONLY and shall not be declawed.”
