Floppy Eared Cuteness

Meet Aladdin!  He is a new rescue for Tails n Transition, and he is very adorable!  He has brindle markings with some white splotches (just look at his white chin!), that precious puppy breath, and just all-around-cuteness.  He is in a foster home now but available for adoption right away --- call 281-992-7500 to put in an application.

Two Beautiful Cats

Juliet

 This is Juliet, a gorgeous "blue" adult cat who was turned into Friendswood Animal Control by her owner, along with her brother Rocky, below.  They were having some issues that the family was not willing to work on, and now they have been at the shelter for a few weeks.  The shelter is full and Juliet and Rocky do not have long to live if they are not adopted.  All of the volunteers love these cats and we have enjoyed playing with them and getting to know them, they are certainly worth the effort of working out their problems.  So please share their information and maybe they can be saved.

Come and See Chrissy

 Chrissy is another darling puppy available at Friendswood Animal Control.   She is an older puppy and is very sweet and affectionate and not too energetic at all.  Her markings are so gorgeous and her eyes are a beautiful amber.  We think she could be a mix of German Shepherd and Catahoula Leopard, but whatever she is she is darn cute!  Very smart too --- she has already learned to sit and go down and walks pretty good on a leash. And her paws are not huge so I don't think she will get much bigger, she is probably about 30 lbs right now though she is a little thin.  She will be at Friendswood's Concert in the Park tonight at 7pm unless she gets adopted first, so come and see her for yourself.

Someone Needs A Snoopy

 Well, Snoopy needs someone at least.  This sweet young male Dachshund came into Friendswood Animal Control last week.  Scared, stressed, and evidently afraid of men, Wednesday was the first day he was able to be worked with by the volunteers and though it took a while, he did warm up to being petted, talked to gently,  and fed treats.  Finally the volunteer was able to get a leash on him without scaring him, and he had a great time out in the grass and let me take his photos.  He still startled when the male Animal Control Officers came near him so he may need someone really willing to work with him and train those fears out of him, and probably a home without children.   He is very cute, calm and loves to be held in a lap.

 

Jinx, a Few Months Older

 This is my vet's little Yorkie puppy, who I first photographed back in January and posted here. Jinx has changed a lot in just 3 months as all puppies do --- his ears grew considerably and his fur has turned mostly silver. He is such a tiny, sweet, silky-soft little guy but he did not stay still for more than a shot or two this time.  Back at the beginning of April I had been photographing her rescues in this field on a high overcast day, using my SB900 Speedlight in my hotshoe but it kept overheating and did not fire for Jinx's shots.  I was able to brighten him up enough in post-processing and darken the field around him to make him stand out better, using Color Efex Pro's Darken-Lighten Center.

More Kittens!

This new litter of kittens is now ready to be adopted at Friendswood Animal Control.  They survived going through a car wash in the bed of a truck!  The truck's owner did not know they were there or where the mama cat was so they were bottle fed by a volunteer with Second Chance Pets and are now eating solid food.  The black kitten is the only male.

Pretty Sadie

This is the mama cat of the kittens I posted yesterday.  At first she was thought to be feral, but after her kittens were weaned a volunteer took her home to work with her and it was discovered that she was severely undernourished, and basically very stressed and frightened to be in the kennel at the pound.  She is a very friendly small cat who looks to maybe have some Burmese in her lineage, with those gorgeous blue eyes and her light fur.  She gets along great with the foster's dog too so would probably be fine in a home with dogs who like cats.  She has gained weight already in just one week and was spayed and vaccinated so is all ready for a new home.  Please share her information as it is going to be very hard on her to be sent back to the city pound.
