LASHAY Pet: Dog Breed: Shepherd Mix Sex: F Age: Adult Size: M Location: Dallas Number: 5793942

November 17, 2008  Hi, Folks.  I'm Lashay, a young (8 months old), female, energetic, bundle of furry love by day and ace detective by night.  The very best part of the day is going on walks with the humans who visit the SPCA Dealey Pet Adoption Center.  I could walk with you forever as long as you stopped every now and then to scratch me behind the ears.  Well, almost forever...a doggie nap is a fine thing, too. The days are good here, but tails really start wagging after the shelter closes for the night.  Just last night I was dancing to the music our band was playing.  When the band took a break, I thought I heard a puppy crying so I went to check it out.  Sure enough, little Brownie was whimpering.  His blankie was gone.  He couldn't find it anywhere. "Brownie," I said, "I'm just the girl for this job.  I'll find your blankie." "Thanks, Lashay," Brownie said as he sucked on his paw. Who could have taken Brownie's blanket, I wondered.  Off I went, nose to the floor.  I didn't smell the blanket's scent near any of the other puppies.  Now I'd check out the "big dog" area.  I caught the scent, but didn't see the evidence. I was on the trail.  I followed hallways and threaded my way through groups of dogs barking, scratching, and generally having a good time.  I didn't stop to play.  Little Brownie needed me and I wasn't going to let him down.  The scent was getting stronger.  Suddenly, it ended right at a big closed door. My terrific nose had done the work to this point, but now I needed some brute strength.  I let out a howl for help and my friends came running.  That door didn't stand a chance against American Bull Terriers, Labrador Retrievers, Boxers, and Rotweilers.  They kept it open while I searched.  Finally, I found the blanket in a basket beside the washing machine.  It hadn't been stolen after all.  Someone was going to wash it so it would be nice and clean for Brownie.  I thanked my friends for their help and hurried back to Brownie with his treasure. "I don't care if it's dirty.  I love it just the way it is," Brownie said as he circled and then curled up on his favorite thing.  "Lashay, you are my hero!" What a great night.  Being a hero feels fantastic. And you can become my hero by giving me a forever home.  Come visit me soon.  I'm the medium-sized, sable brown dog with perky ears, chocolate eyes, and soft, short fur.  I've got loads of love to give you.

BASHFUL Pet: Gerbil Breed: Standard Sex: F Age: Young Size: S Location: Dallas Number: 4767606

November 5, 2008  Bashful! Look at my picture! Do I look “Bashful” to you? I’m front and center, just how I like things. Don’t get me wrong, I love my littermates. I mean, sometimes we scrap, just like brothers and sisters, but I do enjoy having others around me. That doesn’t mean I like them stealing the show!! I love the SPCA. It’s the only home I have ever known. Sometimes I wonder when I am going to get my own family, though. See, the other gerbils have told me about having a family, and I think it sounds fabulous. I heard one guy talk about how his owner used to give him his own paper towel tube and he got to shred THE WHOLE THING!!! Can you imagine? Your own tube that you could play with and tear up and walk around on!  Wow!! Another guy was talking about getting lettuce and apples and peas and carrots for dinner! I don’t even know what a carrot is, but it sounds delicious and I would love for my new mom or dad to introduce me to some cool new things like that! With Christmas coming, I would make a wonderful addition! I could fit in a stocking! You could put me under the tree. People say the nice thing about gerbils is that we are so quiet and clean and pleasant. I don’t even need a fancy cage, just some space to move around in and build my nest. Come meet me! Come see how BASHFUL I really am!

INDIA Pet: Dog Breed: Hound Mix Sex: F Age: Young Size: M Location: McKinney Number: 6074001

November 19, 2008 Hi Guys!!! I love it when people stop by my kennel to pet me and love me, but looking at my picture on-line is almost as good! I came to the SPCA of Texas in September because of a the Hurricanes. The SPCA Rescue and Investigations team brought me up here to Dallas for a chance at a new family. The SPCA of Texas is FUN!!! Right now I am taking these very cool classes that teach us things like "sit" (which seems to be VERY popular with you guys!), and other neat tricks. You’ll have to come see them in person, though, to really get the full effect.  I am a very pretty girl. I have shiny black hair and beautiful brown eyes. People say I have a ton of energy - I think that just means that I like to go for walks and play with the tennis balls that the volunteers throw for me.  I would love to have a family to watch over, protect, and love. I dream of my own yard.  I would run around in it and sniff every corner! With Christmas coming, know what would make the perfect present for your family??? ME!!! I am the gift that keeps on giving! Bring every family member down to the shelter and meet me today.
