Celebrating the Bond Between Humans and Animals PawPrints Magazine's Homeless cover Model
Summertime is here and that can only mean one thing… it’s Kitten Season! Across the nation, millions of kittens are being born and are waiting for loving homes. My name is Elmer and Photo by: Michael Cline Photography I’m one such kitten. I was once sitting at Brunswick County Animal Control, but Adopt-An-ANGEL found me and took me in. Did you know they have over ONE HUNDRED kittens in their foster care program right now? Kittens just as precious as me, in all colors, sizes and shapes. I’m just 10-weeks-old and simply adorable. I love to play with toys, but I will also curl up happily on your chest and fall fast asleep. If you’d like to give me a loving home, please call my Adopt-An-ANGEL foster mom at 910-471-6909. She can also tell you about the other kittens up for adoption. And don’t forget, your county’s Animal Control is full of kittens too, so please visit and please look through this magazine at all the kittens pictured. There is someone for everyone! I’d now like to thank Michael Cline Photography for capturing my kittenish charm in my fruit-tastic cover photo and in the patriotic photo above. Being a cover model is quite exciting, but I’d much rather be someone’s beloved family member.

July 2017 www.facebook.com/PawPrintsMagazine 13 Hello friends. I am Bear, a handsome, loving, happy and gentle-spirited boy. I am a 60 pound Stafford- shire Bull Terrier and Sibe- rian Husky mix. My foster mom ran a DNA test on my sister. I was born 10/10/16. I am vaccinated, neutered, on heartworm prevention, and a big lover of treats. I have a lot of playful energy. I have been living in my foster home since 2/17, with three of my litter mates. I was shy and timid at first, but I have become very healthy and have more confidence now. I would be happiest in a kind family that would want to share lov- ing attention and give me plenty of walks and exercise. I sleep indoors in a kennel at night, and alternate inside and outside during the day. I need work on my house-training and more one on one attention. My foster mom loves me dearly, but she already adopted 4 others and we each deserve our fair share of attention. A fenced in backyard would be great. I mostly prefer to be inside with my family with visits outside into the yard or on a walk. I will greet you with a smile and lots of licks every time you see me. My brother, Beau (on page 28), is also available for adop- tion. We do not resemble one another but we are full brothers. If you are interested in a playful pair of brothers, we get along well. We would also do well independently. Please call 910-264-7298 if you are interested in me. Johnsons Corner Grill and Convenience Store

July 2017 www.facebook.com/PawPrintsMagazine 37 My name is Chewbacca and I'm a Labradoodle who was found as a stray after Hurricane Matthew. When I first arrived at Carolina Poodle Rescue, I was pretty scared. I re- mained really quiet and just kind of watched what everyone was doing. I'm not a big fan of other dogs and there are a lot of dogs at the rescue. Since then, I've gotten used to being at the rescue and I've started making some big strides. I do know how to sit but sometimes I get distracted. I really need someone patient who will work with me and keep me interested in learning. I can be kind of nervous in new situations and can snap or growl. I just need to know that I'm okay and then I love to have attention. Getting a back scratch is one of the best things in life! I can be pretty picky about who I like in terms of people. Some people I like right away and oth- ers, well, I just don't know. And I think I already mentioned I need to be the only dog, right? I'm a great guy who is full of love! If you are interested in me, call 864-489-3559 or visit our website at www.carolinapoodlerescue.org.

We four orange Tabby kitten brothers are sim- ply ADORABLE! Come play with us, cuddle us and pick the one who melts your heart. Since we are all “red Liam Shane heads”, we have Irish names. I’m Liam and I think everything in the world is a toy, but I love people, too. Shane is the shyest of the bunch, but I’m his best friend and Finley Finn I’m showing him the ropes. Finley is the lover boy; he’ll crawl into your lap and start purring. Finn adores people and thinks you should play with him all the time. We are just 8-weeks-old and furry balls of fun. Adoption applications are being accepted now so hurry on over!! You can call Pender Humane Society at 910-259-7022 for driving directions or any other info. We’ll be waiting to welcome you with kitten kisses and purrs!

July 2017 www.facebook.com/PawPrintsMagazine 43 We are Bonnie (left) and Clyde (right). We are about 6-months-old and were brought to Carolina Beach Animal Hospital by the wonderful Jeannie Mintz with Saving Ani- mals During Disasters. Jeannie and her non-profit have been helping out a young woman in the area who is dealing with some health issues. Her neighbors left their many cats behind and she took them in, but before all of them could be spayed and neutered, they had kittens! We are just 2 of many cats and kittens needing homes. We are a little shy, but are slowly starting to acclimate to our new surroundings and come out of our shells. We get along so well with each other, we could potentially go to a home together, or be adopted separately. We tested negative for Felv/FIV, are up to date on all our vaccinations, and have already been spayed and neutered. If you or someone you know is inter- ested in adopting either one of us sweet babies, please contact Carolina Beach Animal Hospital at 910-458-3000, or feel free to submit an adoption application directly online at www.carolinabeachanimalhospital.com/adoption-application.
We are sponsored by Carolina Beach Animal Hospital.
