Sacagawea: Beautiful, Brave and Ready to make History
Sacagawea: Beautiful, Brave and Ready to make History My name is Sacagawea, and my days exploring in the wild are over. Like my namesake, the brave, pregnant, Shoshone girl who guided Lewis and Clark on their expedition, I was quite the outdoors woman, giving birth in a backyard and evading my trappers for two months. But now that I am in a PAWS foster home, with all the comforts that brings, I realize that the indoor life is the one for me. So, you may ask, what’s so great about staying inside? First of all, I love all the cool toys, especially the ones with catnip and anything that rolls. And, of course, I love the people who toss the balls and play with me. I also thoroughly enjoy it when they pat me and hold me. Safe inside, I get to …

Will you adopt these friendly felines?
Do you like cookies? I hope so, because I am Lorna Doone, an orange Maine Coon mix who is looking for someone to love her. I know you can see I am stunning to look at. Can you see my tail in the pictures? Isn’t it just so fluffy and amazing? I am also special and sweet on the inside as well. I have lots of favorite activities we could share. I love to be patted and I will purr and knead when you do that. You can pick me up and I will cuddle. OK, I will need to get to know you just a bit first, but after that I will be relaxed and happy to be around you. When you are not around, I will hang out on the window sill. I just love watching the birds and bees outside. It is better than cable and, to be honest, I am a bit of a couch potato. I …

This two-year-old, fit and trim medium-sized cat is looking for a new home—could it be yours.
PAWS (Protection of Animals in Wakefield Society) is an all-volunteer, non-profit animal welfare organization serving Wakefield and other neighboring communities. My name is Berwick and I might as well come right out and tell you that I was orphaned on the side of the road. I am no modern-day Huckleberry Finn. I don’t want to be alone and wandering. I am not the tramping type or a thrill seeker. I haven’t an ounce of wander lust in me. No, I am just a cuddly, loving tiger cat who wants to go home ... to you. As you can see from my pictures, I am a young, about two years old, very handsome, fit, and trim medium-sized cat. Unlike some felines, I am easy to pick up, very snuggly, and an all-around happy guy. Nothing ruffles me. I am not …

This 10-years-young couch potato is looking for a new home—could it be yours?
Wow, are you looking at me? That is me in the picture! My name is Emma, I'm a collie-mix, and I want you to love me. I already love you because, well, I'm a very friendly dog. And, I bet this will not surprise you, but I want to go home with you. I do. I really do. Right now, I'm living at the VCA Wakefield Animal Hospital, but I don’t belong here. This is a hospital and I'm not sick. And, I don’t like being kept in a cage. During the day I don't mind it too much because I get to hang out at the reception area. There are many people working here and everyone pats me and says I'm wonderful. They're all so nice and I'm friendly with them. They tell me I'm laid back and relaxed. Someone said something about a couch potato. I'm not sure about …

This small cat needs a loving home to go to.
Small, but sassy, that is me, Petite, a gorgeous eight-pound tuxedo girl with white socks and a big need of human affection and kisses. I love to play and explore, but will always be happy for a long session of petting first. If you call me, I will come running and then I will roll on my back and play. I'm still a kitten, less than a year old, and have my kitten behaviors. But, I can also be very mellow, sitting in the window and watching the world go by or snuggling in bed with you at night. Mellow only goes so far, however. Wait until dinner when I come running at the sound of the can top popping. I have a quiet meow, but I like to use it. If you listen, you will hear me thank you for my meal. Despite my size, I really do like to be in …

This compassionate cat needs a loving home.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Franny and I'm a very people-oriented feline. I love humans and I will follow you around the house, brushing up against your legs. I will also flop down so you can pet me even more. Did I mention I like to be patted? OK, I just wanted to be clear about that. I'm a big girl at 15 pounds, but I'm not fat at all. Still, there is lots of me to love. I'm very food motivated, so I think I could learn some tricks if you took the time to train me with a clicker and treats. One trick I am good at is drinking out of the faucet. I love moving water almost as much as I love people. Another trick I have mastered involves the cat carrier. If you open it up, I will go right in. Of course we will not be going out much…

Will you adopt Dawn the tuxedo cat?
Hey you over there. Look at me! My name is Dawn and I'm the bright, little, tuxedo girl who is looking at you from the window of my home at the Danvers PetSmart. I moved here recently from a PAWS foster home because they told me I could find my new family more quickly if I showed myself off to lots of people, so here I am. I'm looking at you with my big, dazzling, green eyes. I know you can tell already, but I'm sweet, curious and gentle. I love to be patted and am very affectionate. I may not show it at first, but I’m longing to cuddle and rub up against you. Haven't you noticed that if you put your nose to my window I will put my nose there too? I also love to “sniff” any fingers that are extended. If you come during adoption hours on …

Will you adopt this friendly pooch?
I think I am going to like you. OK, that is easy, because I like everyone. And once I have met you, I will get very excited to see you again. Let's simplify this process: Adopt me and then I will get to see you all the time. I do have a few requirements. I love to have my belly rubbed, so you will need to do that when I roll over for you, which will be all the time. I do have some tricks you might like: I can sit, lie down and offer my paw on command. I'm also excellent on a leash and I love to go for walks. I bet I could learn some new tricks, too. That would be a fun thing for us to do together. Ah, being with my own human is what I dream about. Recently, I got to go home for the weekend with one of the volunteers. I'm told I was quite …

This 6-year-old fox terrier needs a caring home to go to.
Life is good. I mean, I finally have my chance to be the PAWS Pet of the Week. I thought they would never stop with those silly cats and give me my chance to meet you. Hi, I'm Tippy. I'm a loving six-year-old purebred fox terrier and I love you already. OK, I love everyone. But, I'm sure I love you even more than everyone else so please, please come adopt me. I'm being fostered at an animal hospital and it's fun here. I get to sit with the receptionist and greet everyone. When she gets up from her chair, I jump onto it. They have started giving me my own chair to sit on. I think they might ask me to start answering the phones soon, so please come and adopt me because, while I like deskwork, I prefer getting out and about. I adore car …

Will you adopt this friendly cat?
Mellow and sweet are the attributes that define me the best. Add to that my incredible body and I'm a great cat in a beautiful package. That is me, Ruby Nugget, a sleek, shiny, black beauty with stunning eyes and sculpted Siamese-like physique. I think I could be a dancer. I can stretch my spine and move in ways that are amazing and beautiful to watch (if I do say so myself). I love to parade with my elegant tail curved right over the top of my back. Martha Graham, watch out! Next to stretching and strutting, the thing I really love is catnip. That stuff could be addictive. Is it legal? I hope so, because it makes me feel so great. Give me a pinch and I will run and play like mad. Of course, that tires me out and I will need a nap …
