SPCA Pets of the Month: December 2014

by Stephanie Knight

McKinney Pets

Meet Daisy, a friendly, 3-year-old, 55-pound Pit Bull/Labrador mix. She loves walks and is easy to walk. She also loves treats! Her coat is mostly white, but if she ever gets lost, the large chocolate spot on her back and the small spot on her left ear are distinctive enough to find her! Her previous owner noted that she is “very energetic but very cuddly.” She loves to play, but she really wants to snuggle up in your lap at the end of the day. She was surrendered to the SPCA of Texas on Oct. 1 because of maintenance costs and limited space in her last owner’s home. She has been spayed, is microchipped, and has received her age-appropriate vaccinations. She has been de-wormed and has received flea/tick preventatives. She is always smiling, and she is ready to kiss your face! Come meet Daisy today! #136085

Meet Chick, a gal who is 7 pounds of soft, fluffy, long fur. She is 2 years old. She was surrendered to the SPCA of Texas humane officer when she was found living in inhumane conditions. Her fur coat is colored tortoiseshell, and she has a white chin and chest — cute, cute, cute! When you first meet her, she may be shy, but with some sweet talk — or better yet, a treat — you’ll be fast friends. She has been spayed, tested for FIV/FeLV (she’s negative), is microchipped, and has received age-appropriate vaccinations. She is interested in watching the feather wand when it flies by her little house. She loves to sleep in her cat house! Her condo has several cats, and she gets along well with all of them! She is easy-going and good-natured. Come meet Chick today! #135944

Dallas Pets

Meet Keerah, a 3-year-old, 49-pound Pit Bull mix. She came to the SPCA of Texas on Sept. 29, when she was rescued from cruelty. When she came to the SPCA, she was emaciated and weighed only 30 pounds. She was here with her little puppy, who has now been adopted! She has received plenty of food, treats and TLC, and now she is waiting for her perfect home! She is a sweetheart who loves the company of people. She likes to play outside, give hugs and receive belly rubs. She’d do best being the only dog or being the dominant dog of the house. She feels more comfortable without having other pooches to worry about! She has been spayed, is microchipped, and has received all age-appropriate vaccinations. Come meet Keerah today! #134569

Meet Tinkerbell, a 6-year-old, 6-pound Domestic Shorthair mix. She came to the SPCA of Texas on Oct. 1, when she was surrendered to a humane officer. She is a delightful young lady who is full of life and love! She has a very unique feature — her one, extra-long tooth. It sticks out and pushes her lip up into a silly face! You’ll love it … it’s one of the things that makes her most adorable. She is a sweetheart who doesn’t mind other cats. She likes to bird watch and will purr as you rub her head. She has been spayed, is microchipped and has received all age-appropriate vaccinations. Come meet Tinkerbell today! #136031
