Volunteer Update

I'm still volunteering at the shelter. Today was a rather fun day. We have a number of tiny kittens and puppies there right now. Without further ado, I show you the animals. Remember, if you're in the DC, MD, VA area and would like to adopt an animal, please check out www.arfusa.org. All the animals are after the jump (thanks Cotter).



Meet Stewie. Stewie is new. He's probably about three weeks old. Some girl found him near her house. His mom abandoned him. He's super tiny and ridiculously cute. He loves to hold on closely to you and doesn't like to be alone in his cage. He's currently alone in his cage until he goes to the doctor for his tests and vaccines. I have a feeling Stewie will be adoped quickly.


The twitter favorite: Sully. Sully is still here - and I don't believe there are any pending adoptions. We spent some good quality time together. He loves to be held - and purrs the instant you pick him up. This guy's face is ridiculous. And by ridiculous, I mean, cute!



Autumn is still here, with her relative (mom?), Fall. She's a nice, calm cat who loves to be pet. Her meow is like a creaky door - I like that:

This is Bubba. Bubba is my husband's favorite teenage cat. He's a little shy at first, but loves to play with the other kittens in his room. His brother, Dickens was adopted a couple of weeks ago. (FYI: I'm the person cleaning those litter boxes in the morning - and you know what they like to do? They like to pee in the cleanest box, right after I'm done... while they're doing it, they stare at me - and laugh. I know they're laughing at me.)

Please, someone adopt Dexter! I shouldn't play favorites, but he is my favorite teenage kitten to play with in the morning. He loves to get into mischief with me, leaves on a plant, or even a roll of paper towels. He's a bundle of energy and loves attention.

The chocolate lab mix puppies are growing! I went into their pen today to pet them a little bit. They're up and walking around, giving a couple of whimpers. These guys are going to be adorable.


I apologize for the following blurry picture. Puppies are not the easiest thing to take pictures of. These guys here are the Lil' Rascals. Not really sure which one is which, but they are all named after characters from the movie. They like to eat my fingers, and love attention.

I met Millie today. She was getting picked on by Riley and Hailey (I didn't get a picture of her, sorry!)

This is Dani (I think). I like him. As soon as you walk into the kitten room, he begins to purr. Clearly, he likes attention and loves to be held. The purring just melts me every time.

Sadie is Sully's and Ladybug's cagemate. Ladybug has a home visit coming up as soon as she's spayed. She found a forever home. Sadie causes quite a bit of mischief around the place. She likes to run places. She also liked holding onto my iPhone while I was trying to take pictures of her. The best I could do was get a half shot of her.

This is Squeaker. He's in the kitten room. He is related to Dani - his other brother was adopted. I had to take this picture because he was giving me such a nice pose. They get sleepy after I feed them.

If you've made it this far, I thank you. All of these animals are great, and they deserve to be in a forever home. If we were homeowners, I believe that we'd be in trouble - because I'd be taking a different animal home each week. There are many other animals (especially more dogs) that you can check out at ARF's website. I don't really write these posts for them - it's more out of my own interest in seeing these animals adopted. Maybe it's something I can bring up to them to do. Maybe ARF needs a twitter page... My wheels are turning.
