“This is Oreo (left) and Aurora (right). Oreo is the one that you can leave in front of a plate of ribs and not worry. Rora is the one we need to lock the chickens up from! They are best friends and the best anti-depressants. Thank you @petrescueall.”
“Hank and Hamilton are 8 month old brothers. Every day they say good morning to me by running up the stairs to meet me, happily meowing and purring. They sleep together and chase each other, stampeding around the house. Hank is very social and Hamilton is more shy, but regardless they are very loving and are open to pets and cuddles. (unless they are wrestling)”
“Philippe was rescued in Georgia after his original owner brought him to the vet to be euthanized. A local rescue volunteer was at the vet office at the time and convinced the owner to give him up for adoption instead of euthanizing him. Thanks to a wonderful network of rescue volunteers, he made his way to Fairfax, Virginia-based rescue Pets Bring Joy, which is where we met him. He is a wonderful cat, healthy and full of love, and we will never understand why someone wanted to put him to sleep.”
“Carlina is an 11-week-old pug puppy. She loves biting anything she can get a hold of and you can always tell where she is because of her heavy breathing, grunts, and snorts. She’s a fast learner and already knows sit, stay, and down. She’s still learning “leave it” because she can’t resist a tasty treat.”
“Marbles is energetic and loving; people love the black heart on her side and her pattern.”
“Ember is a 2-month-old “Mosaic” Chinchilla. Chinchillas are crepuscular, most active during twilight hours, so we get to spend our workday watching Ember sleep in all sorts of ridiculous positions, but our favorite is when he cuddles with his best friend “Purple-Chin”. Chinchillas are social animals so once he’s old enough we’ll be bonding Ember to our older male chinchilla Ash. Chinchillas are the softest mammal on earth and can also jump up to 6 feet! When they get excited chinchillas will bounce all around their habitat and do parkour off of any walls or ledges available!”
“Luna is an energetic Bengal kitten. She loves playing with our dog Ali running around the house and snuggling up with family. She is very smart and we often find her watching us and then trying to do the same thing. She is a very social cat and whenever anyone sees her they compliment her leopard-like spots. She is very affectionate and always is with us.”
“Mosby is an 8-year-old bassador (basset hound and lab mix) who loves cuddles, zucchini (weird, right!), and naps. He’s always a little bit anxious because he was mistreated in previous homes – he’s a rescue – but still loves meeting new people. He’s always happy to learn new tricks unless he’s trying to sleep. He has a really big bark and absolutely despises the mailman. He’s just an angel!”
“We adopted Grey in May after months of filling out applications only to end up with nothing. He was so tiny and sweet. He loves taking walks outside to eat grass and chase bugs. Oh, and he also loves playing hide-and-seek with his human momma.”
“Maple is an adorable two-year-old guinea pig with a talent for mischief. Carrots, salad, and occasional tomatoes are her favorite foods. She enjoys eating, napping, and running laps around her cage. She is a noisy squeaker when hungry (which is most of the time) and her most defining feature is her naturally fluffy “mohawk”.”
“Bruno is a 7-year-old Maine coon, that enjoys scratches, cuddles, and naps. He is a love bug and a momma’s boy for sure. He was raised with another cat, Gus who passed in 2019. He was very lonely without Gus, his bro. So on Halloween, he got a new little sister, Buffy. She is a long-haired Russian Blue, who loves to play, play some more, and nap on daddy’s lap. These two are fast friends and can be found sleeping together or sitting on the couch with their parents. They both have their own Instagrams as well. Bruno is @bros_before_treats and Buffy is @iamlilbuffy!”
“Pumpernickel (a.k.a. Nicky) just wants to be in the mix. He was adopted with his brother and sister, but quickly stood out as the chocolate velvet star. He coos like a pigeon when announcing himself, has a high-pitched meow for when he’s hungry, and a deep purr when he’s properly attended to. As kitty parents we recently came to realize that often his agitated whining isn’t for food or treats, but to be held in our arms where he purrs contentedly as he looks out from high above his kingdom. He is only five months old but already seeking big adventures. We hope we can keep him on his toes, and that, even when he’s all grown, he still lets us baby him from time to time.”
