If I could dash off a Long & Short Reviews post, I can dash off a Petfinder post. I'm not willing to squeeze in the time, this afternoon, to learn about the Brussels Gryffon or Bull Mastiff breeds. They will just have to wait. Here's potluck--the best of the first dozen pictures on each of the Petfinder pages I visit:
Zipcode 10101: Kenzie & Louie from NYC
Kenzie's web page: https://www.petfinder.com/cat/kenzie-7505fd3d-02ef-4cb6-92fc-67ce16c63a60/ny/new-york/anjellicle-cats-rescue-ny488/details/
Born on 10.31.23, this tabby sister and brother aren't described as particularly good at recognizing words, but they generally seem to like hearing humans talk or sing. They could be adopted separately.
Rudolph from Puerto Rico
His web page: https://www.petfinder.com/dog/rudolph-97bebce4-ce30-4a5c-9d11-d1f0da593146/ny/new-york/the-sato-project-ny1140/details/
Like so many humans from the island, this sato (street dog) came to New York City in search of a better life. He is about six months old, weighs about 35 pounds, and is described as very good at making his foster human feel loved.
Zipcode 20202: Katniss Everclear from South Carolina
Someone drives up the coast regularly so she can be delivered to DC or "the Northeast." If you're not near Route 1, you can still adopt this adorable, kitten-sized two-year-old cat but you'll need to come to South Carolina to meet her. Five pounds may always be her healthy weight.
Alex from Cleveland, Texas, by way of DC
His web page: https://www.petfinder.com/dog/alex-489eff20-7b92-4fe7-8832-ab5c11a571e3/wa/washington/who-saved-who-tx2918/details/
Believed to be a Border Collie or more of that than anything else, this handsome dog probably won't be in search of a home for long. He is described as a young friendly dog who likes to cool off by swimming (could be part retriever?). Adopt Alex if you are, or are committed to becoming, an active person who enjoys walking or jogging a few brisk miles every morning with extra strolls around the neighborhood in between times. Border Collies are intelligent dogs who like to have "jobs."
Zipcode 30303: Wisteria from Chattanooga
Her web page: https://www.petfinder.com/cat/wisteria-ca0407b9-5da2-4baf-8b73-54feb1a365ff/ga/atlanta/your-local-fur-mama-tn1052/details/
She has siblings but they don't insist that you adopt a sibling with her. Wisteria is described as the smallest kitten in the litter, liking to play with her siblings and to be alone and think.
Gage from Chattanooga
His web page: https://www.petfinder.com/dog/gage-1d616bb0-e2de-4e26-82f6-9366fd7801d6/ga/atlanta/joyful-pets-animal-rescue-ma499/details/
He weighs about 60 pounds. He has probably reached his full size. He has a safe foster home; he's not in desperate need of adoption. That his foster family are willing to keep him until the perfect pawmanent home can be found says a lot about this hound's pawsonality.
Bonus: Zipcode 37660: Shirley from Kingsport
The alley cat family as rescued includes Shirley, her sister Laverne, and her kitten Squiggy. They're from Connecticut; any resemblance to the Patchnose Family is coincidental, but they could be another social cat family. Shirley is described as a shy cat, not completely feral but not eager to be a pet. If you can adopt the whole family together and wait patiently for the cats to become pets, that may help.
Simon from Texas
His web page: https://www.petfinder.com/dog/simon-3a993e20-3ae0-48ec-9636-8c3fc37094d7/tn/kingsport/shaggy-dog-rescue-tx1257/details/
A DNA test suggests that this lovable shaggy puppy is mostly poodle with at least seventeen other breeds mixed in. He was abandoned at a public park and is currently in foster care in Texas, but listed for adoption in every other place his humans are willing to visit. They say he needs to be adopted by someone who has experience training puppies. He is completely ignorant but seems smart and willing to learn. He weighed 15 pounds when photographed but is expected to weigh twice that much as an adult. Small dogs can live as long as cats, so you should plan on his being part of your family for ten to fifteen years or even longer.
