This Week’s Featured Friend: IRIS This absolutely beautiful lady of appx. 8 yrs of age is looking for a loving home after she was left behind by her previous owner in an apartment. Adoptable cat Oscar was also surrendered with her. Iris needed a little TLC with her skin and fur, but being in a temporary foster home has helped this lovely girl show off her pretty coat which shines more and more every day. Iris also needed surgery to remove a large mass, and also was treated for an infection when she was spayed. This sweet girl probably had one too many litters of puppies, and wasn’t allowed time to recover. No worries, those days are over and she can start to get herself into shape. The surgery took a toll on this girl, but she is now recovering nicely and getting the rest and medication she needs to fully heal. She is sweet, loving, looking for attention and just en- joys lounging around. She does well on the walks she takes, and does enjoy her crate. Iris is housebroken and would love nothing more to hang out on a couch and snuggle away. In fact, she has no problem exposing her belly for much needed belly rubs. She appears fine with the resident cats at her temporary foster home, and although she hasn’t interacted too much with the dogs (due to her healing), she presents no issues when she is in her crate and they are out and about. Please consider opening your heart and home to Iris and give her a chance to enjoy her older years. If you have any questoins about Iris, please email at [email protected]. Iris is sponsored by Pound Hounds & Friends and she will come with a reduced adoption fee. Honestly, how can you not just fall in love with her. 716-851-5694 WEEK OF THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2017 BUFFALO ROCKET ISSUE 5 PAGE 5 Pennies for Patients From page 1 Carolina.
