YOU AND YOUR PET This handsome boy needs a home for the holidays! Clark arrived in North Halton Kitten Rescue (NHKR) after repeatedly entering a school and his owners weren't located. He is a social boy, and where better to make friends and receive atten- tion than a school. He found a place that suited him and had no intention of leaving. He is thought to be around a year old, although he already has middle-age spread, primar- ily from his sedate lifestyle. He is a handsome cat, with a swagger that is not really justified. Clark is not the sharpest cat; he falls off chairs, is easily distracted and is mystified over anything new. Trimming his nails and grooming are easily accomplished; Clark can't concentrate on two things at once so one can distract while an- other trims or brushes. He enjoys brushing around his head but complains around his tail. He may notice what's happening and verbally protest or turn to swat but not with ill intent. He thinks he's scary. Clark would benefit from more lively activi- ties than following the vacuum cleaner. Clark enjoys the company of people and will sit in a lap and purr as long as his chin and ears are scratched. He welcomes handling but clearly states when attention is over, he is not a ma- licious cat but attention beyond what he wants annoys him. Clark encountered friendly dogs and was interested in them but no other cats in his new home. He tries to be a bully-- if other cats run he is successful if they don't, he runs! Clark would thrive with a family of adults who can inter- pret his messages and entice him to be more active. On Saturday, Dec. 19, Clark and Dahlia are available for adoption at Pet Valu, 369 Mounta- inview Rd. S., 1-3 p.m. Young cats at Pet Valu, 235 Guelph St. 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. All adoptions are $160.

By Barb Johnson info@nhkr.ca NHKR: Clark is handsome with a swagger Of prime importance when introducing this boy is that he is desperate to please staff and volunteers, indeed anyone, but does not know how… Pogo is a a 1.5-year-old, male, husky cross, black with some white, a tall and lean 60 lbs. with a sleek coat and a handsome look. Your heart breaks for Pogo due to the fact there is so much potential and intelligence but he has not had the neces- sary time and love put into his well-being. He does have his basics but still tends to jump up and "pulls" when on walkies which is being worked on. Families with husky experience would be ideal as Pogo is classed as a sleigh husky. He has inher- ited the Husky very high energy and must go to a home with a fenced yard, or like a Pogo stick, our Pogo would be out of there in an instant. Pogo would need an adult, active, family or with chil- dren in the 16+ range. If the family already had an- other large active dog this would help Pogo transi- tion into his new life and give him a playmate for working off his energy. Pogo has a high prey drive and would not get along with cats or other small animals. If you are reading this and have Husky experi- ence and are willing to put in the time initially to train and exercise this fine boy, it will be a win-win situation; apartment living and a sedentary life will not work for him or a new family. Interested families please call the Shelter at 519-833-2287 or e-mail adoptions@uppercredit. com to arrange a meet and greet.
