H.O.P.E. Pets for Adoption

Rocco is a sweet boxer/bulldog mix (DNA test) who weighs ~ 50 pounds. He is 8 years old, neutered, completely vetted, and microchipped. Rocco loves to curl up on the couch and enjoys when his human is nearby. He is generally low key; in fact, he can seem a bit aloof at first, but only because he needs time to trust that you will not give up on him. Rocco is housebroken and will let you know when he needs a potty break. When necessary he can easily be crated, although he has not been left alone for extended amounts of time. A fenced-in yard is a must because Rocco deserves to run and play outside. Rocco should be an only pet - he needs to be with a family that focuses solely on him. In fact a one-on-one situation or an older couple might be best for him. He is smart and affectionate and will be devoted to you if you give him a chance.

Harper is a very confident 2 year-old little lady. She enjoys sleeping in the sun all day and curling up on soft bed covers. She loves playing with anything and everything left to her for toys. She enjoys chasing bugs as her little hunter self. Harper is a little shy and quite independent preferring the other cats to people, although sometimes she will follow you around until she gets what she wants (dinner or toys or a quick pet). She would be perfect for a family that is looking to find a companion for an existing pet or a family that would like to adopt more than one cat. Harper is up to date on her vaccinations, spayed and has tested negative for FIV and Feline Leukemia.

For more information, please contact her foster mother, Karla, at redefinedesign@excite.com

Princess Leia ~ a lovely 5 yr. old grey tiger with dilute orange highlights and absolutely stunning green eyes. Princess Leia was rescued from the outdoors with her five kittens and has been very busy being a good mom taking care of them. Now her kittens are weaned and its her turn to be cared for and spoiled. Princess Leia is a little shy when you first meet her but once she gets to know you she loves attention. She has extremely soft fur, is gentle and relatively quiet. Princess Leia is good with both dogs and cats and would do well with older children.

Princess Leia is spayed, up to date on her shots and negative for FIV and FeLV.
