Creature corner<br />

By Mimi and Hootch<br />

Paws up to Mr. Tucker, our Basenji<br />

mix, who wagged his way right into<br />

his new humans’ hearts. As well as to<br />

Romeo, our Papillon mix, who never<br />

left his fosters side. Kittens are at the<br />

ARF house! Reserve a couple today!<br />

Meet Molly II. She is a young and<br />

playful Jack Russell-Basenji mix. She<br />

is new to our pack, so she is learning<br />

leash rules, house training, and<br />

basic commands. Come in Saturday<br />

to see Molly and maybe take her for<br />

a walk.<br />

Many of you may recognize “Girl” as<br />

the stray who wandered our streets for<br />

many years and was known as Hobo.<br />

Here she is in all of her glory, with a<br />

beautiful coat of Aussie fur, tail wagging<br />

for the walk, and a paw up for<br />

all humans. Girl needs a home here<br />

in the cool mountain air. She will<br />

be at ARF on Saturday for viewing<br />

and playing.<br />

Amy is back! A young Chihuahua,<br />

she can be visited at ARF along with the rest of the<br />

pack from Anza. Amy loves to go<br />

for her walks, have lap time, and<br />

is always ready for the treats. And<br />

she comes with her own wardrobe<br />

of sweaters for the winter.<br />

Everyone has room for a teacup<br />

or two. Chihuahua’s that<br />

is. Charlie<br />

Brown and Chip are part of the<br />

Anza gang. They are both good<br />

with other four-leggeds, even the<br />

feline crowd. Charlie will be in<br />

your purse in no time, while Chip<br />

tends to just skip around.<br />
