Furry Tails: Nixie, Nora, Pumpkin & Hucklebuck Are Waiting For Forever Homes
Are you looking to bring a pet into your home? Local animal shelters are a great place to find a furry companion. So, as part of Furry Tails, I'll be doing an ongoing feature on adoptable pets from local animal shelters once a week. If you have room in your heart and are looking to bring a lovable ball of fur into your home, maybe one of these guys is meant to be a part of your family!

Nixie
Animal Friends
Animal Friends Pet Profile:
Meet this sweet girl Nixie. She's a shy girl initially, but as soon as she's with you for a minute or two, she'll want to head outside and play. Nixie is the perfect fit for a home with children 12 and over. Because she wants all of your love to herself, she would do best in a home where she's the only pooch. Please ask to meet with an Animal Friends Adoption Counselor, so Nixie can be comfortably introduced. They can discuss whether you're looking for a lap pet, a social butterfly, an only pet or a furry "sibling" for kids or other animals.

Nora
Orphans of the Storm
Orphans of the Storm Pet Profile:
Nora was left behind when her family moved. She is independent and can be cranky if she does not want bothered. She is affectionate on her terms. Nora is about 4-years-old.
"When I came to Orphans of the Storm I had mats everywhere. They gave me a very interesting hairdo ... I look just like a lion. I kinda liked that look because sometimes I feel like a lion inside!"

Pumpkin
Animal Protectors of Allegheny Valley
Animal Protectors of Allegheny Valley Pet Profile:
Pumpkin, unfortunately, lost her home after her owner passed away. This shy girl is around 7-years-old, and is used to living a quiet life. Now she needs a new home where she can truly be herself. Pumpkin was the only animal in her previous household, so she would probably do best in a home without dogs or other cats.

Hucklebuck
Rabbit Wranglers
Rabbit Wranglers Pet Profile:
Hucklebuck is an active and silly dwarf rabbit, weighing in at just over one kilogram. He is very sweet and loves to be stroked around his ears and head. Despite a back injury resulting in a fracture at L-7, he is able to run and stand up on his hind legs. He doesn't seem very "special needs," but will need to be monitored for issues like bladder sludge. We use a low-sided litter box to make things a bit easier for him. We also recommend flooring that allows him to have good traction... slippery floor surfaces can be a bit difficult for him.
Hucklebuck is a good eater - enjoying hay, pellets and a variety of greens. He is currently perfecting his litter box skills. Hucklebuck seems to enjoy seeing other rabbits and we suspect he may do well with a bunny friend.
