In which we continue to revisit the photo contest winners featured at this web site in 2023 and, if the animals have not been adopted, perhaps try a different photo.
And, because it's February, here comes the Nag...
.A Nag is an old, tired horse, or an old, tired reminder to do something that you might already have done or else had good reasons not to do. In this case the reminder is, if you don't want kittens or puppies, have your pets "altered" now, before kittens and puppies can happen. The horse picture above was what Morguefile gave me when I asked it for a "nag" image. It is now our Official Nag, here to remind people to schedule that simple operation that stabilizes your pet population. While it's here it can remind people who own land that, although there aren't a lot of horses on Petfinder, horses need adoption too.
Maple and Muffin, the orange and tortie cats from Alexandria, may have been adopted.
Bellatrix, the Turkish Van cat from Mount Rainier, has definitely been adopted.
Addie and Alpha, the "blue" and black cats from Pennsylvania, may have been adopted.
Bing, the orange Blotched Tabby from Georgia, may have been adopted.
Ciel, the long-haired white cat, may have been adopted.
Lexi, the pale calico cat, has positively been adopted.
Helene, the long-haired Manx, has been adopted.
Taz, the Labrador-Chihuahua crossbreed, and his seven siblings may have been adopted.
Virginia, the DC hound-retriever crossbreed, may have been adopted.
Reese, the not-quite-Labradoodle, may have been adopted.
Blue's Babes. the four grey tabby kittens, have been adopted.
Florence, the little tortie kitten, seems to have been adopted.
Saturn, the black and white kitten, seems to have been adopted.
Mango, who was described as an unusually clever Staffordshire Terrier, is still looking for a home in or near New York City..
Her problem? They make it sound as if she hasn't got any. Never seen such a fast learner, loves other dogs, good with children, housebroken, always up for a walk. She's an adult now and has reached her healthy adult weight at 39 pounds. (The picture has an adolescent look...she's languished in a shelter for more than a year.) What's kept this precious pup in a shelter just may be that an organization called "Posh Pets" asks for too much of an "adoption fee."Then again, although Staffordshire Terriers are rated among the most lovable, pettable, kid-friendly dog breeds, they do remind some people of other terrier breeds that can be more aggressive.
Luna, the black-and-white terrier, may have been adopted.
Barkley, the black-and-white terrier, may have been adopted.
Mittens, the Manx cat with the fluffy tail, has been adopted.
Groot and Ollie, the Manx brothers, may have been adopted.
Denali, the black Manx kitten, has been adopted.
Freddie, the Tennessee hound dog with a web page based in New York City, has been adopted.
Sprite, the hound from Alexandria, has been adopted.
Binky Barnes, the Georgia hound dog, may have been adopted.
Yang, the terribly cute Tuxie in New York, is still looking for a home.
His web page: https://www.petfinder.com/cat/yang-53158750/ny/new-york/2000-spays-and-neuters-animal-rescue-ny768/
His web page hasn't been updated in almost a year. Who knows? Maybe he's been adopted. There's no noticeable reason why he wouldn't have been. He would still be handsome, but those kitten days are over.
Wednesday and Gomez, the black-and-white pair, have been adopted. Together!
Ducky, the kitten from Georgia, has been adopted.
Belle, the tiny dog from New York, may have been adopted.
Jonah, the teacherly dog from Texas with the web page in DC, has been adopted...or do we mean hired?
Penny, the pup from Georgia, may have been adopted.
Kiefer, the plump Tuxie, has been adopted.
Christina, the plump black-and-white cat, may have been adopted.
Mocha, the overfed Siamese crossbreed from Georgia, is still homeless.
Why is she still unadopted? Shelter staff don't think it's because she has any really undesirable qualities, except that Siamese cats are supposed to be slim and slinky, and poor little Mocha biilges out where people expect a Siamese to taper in. She is in a foster home. Sometimes people who keep animals as "shelter fosters" really want to keep the animals permanently. Or maybe they're asking for too much money.
