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 />
