Animal Fix

Your Afternoon Animal Fix – AdoPtville

By Prince Of Petworth

If you have any animal/pet photos you’d like to share for the regular fix please send an email to princeofpetworth(at)gmail(dot)com with ‘Animal Fix’ in the title and say the name of your pet and your neighborhood. AdoPtville is run by two volunteers who compile these pets weekly from local shelters.

Chunky Thor is an adorable orange guy. He lost his eye in an epic battle for the universe (actually he was hit by a car and his eye was badly damaged). He is just 4 months old and his whole exciting life ahead of him! He is new to the rescue and we can’t wait to find out more about him. To join us on our journey, please apply today to meet this sweet hero!

Copeland is a silly, fun, energetic and loving young dog. He pounces on toys like a champ and is generally a goofy and happy pup. He wants to bring all of his joy to his adopter! He promises to be a good boy if you’ll give him lots of treats to help him put on some weight. Copeland has already learned “let’s go”, “sit”, “go to mat”, “trade”, “go get it”, and he is working on “come”. He would make a terrific companion for anyone with a house and yard in which he can feel secure and fully express his playful nature.

This goofy young boy loves socializing and playing, and he learns new games and commands very quickly. Copeland loves to go running, but he is also great inside. When company is over – including kids – he will make friends instantly and be the life of the party. Apply today to meet handsome Copeland!
