50 Shelters - 50 States: Delaware

Hi, everyone!  MP here, and today our 50-50 Tour takes us to Delaware.  I've got some beauties for you today!

Meet Pinky!

Pinky is an adult female pit bull mix who was found as a stray and is currently in the care of the Kent County SPCA in Camden, Delaware while she waits for a new home.  Could it be yours?  Come on - how could anyone resist that face?  And I love the way her left ear and left side of her head is brown while the right ear and right side of her head is white.  I know looks aren't everything, but this girl is just lovely, and she looks pretty sweet to me! 

If you or someone you know is interested in making Pinky a part of their family, you can contact the Kent County SPCA at 302-698-3006, email them at info@kcspca.org or visit their website

And now ... meet Ares!

I have to admit - this was the easiest time I've had choosing a cat ... normally it's really tough for me - even harder than choosing a dog for some reason.  But this guy reminded me right away of our friend Admiral Hestorb  and I just fell in love with him immediately!  Now obviously, he doesn't look a thing like Admiral, but they both do a great job of rocking a hat!  

It's clear from his shelter writeup that someone at the

Purr-Fect Haven Cat Rescue is really fond of Ares.  They report that he is playful and affectionate, with lots of personality and a desire to be right in the middle of the action.  He's also been well-socialized to dogs, other cats, and apparently children as well.  In fact, this sweet guy got turned into the shelter after the kids in his family grew up and no one had time for him anymore.  How sad is that?!!!!!!  Apparently he hadn't been very well cared for in his previous home (imagine that!) and was surrendered with some health issues that the shelter has addressed and he is now in purr-fect health!   Ares is neutered, is FeLV, FIV, and heartworm negative, and current on all his vaccinations.  He's looking for a forever family that will really love him forever this time, and would like to go to a family that has other social cats (or maybe if you don't, Ares has a special friend at the shelter he'd like to be adopted with?). 

If you've been looking for a guy like Ares, or know someone who has, email the nice people at Purr-Fect Haven at this address:  purrfecthavencat@hotmail.com  Or learn more about Purr-Fect Haven here

50 Shelters - 50 States: Connecticut

Hi, everyone ... MP here, with the latest 50-50 post.  We're back on the East coast today, in the state of Connecticut, and I'd like to introduce you first to Bruno ...

Bruno is a gorgeous young adult AmStaff mix who is in urgent need of a foster home or a permanent placement with a loving family.  Could it be yours?  Bruno gets along well with both dogs and cats.  Though no details are provided, his shelter writeup alludes to his having had a difficult past and it is stressed that in his new home Bruno will need the appropriate stimulation, lots of exercise, and most importantly, consistency, which, let's face it, is something that's important for all dogs, particularly rescue dogs.  They need structure and a routine to build their new lives upon.  For more information on Bruno, to request an application to adopt him or schedule a meet and greet to see this gorgeous boy in person, please email the kind folks at Meriden Humane Society in Meriden, CT at meridensociety@sbcglobal.net

Bruno sure looks like a doll, and deserves to have someone to call his very own.  Is that someone you? We hope so - and if not, we hope you'll spread the word about Bruno and help him find his way to his forever home!

And now ... meet Libby ...

Libby is an adult domestic shorthaired tabby with beautiful green eyes.  Her shelter writeup states that she is very affectionate and friendly ... and desperately seeking her own loving home and a family to call her own.  If you or someone you know would like to settle down on the couch with this sweetheart purring on your lap, please contact the Connecticut Humane Society in Newington, Connecticut at 800-452-0114.  You can also email them at info@cthumane.org or visit their website

Well, that's it for this installment.  Next stop ... Delaware.  See you next time ... and don't forget to send us a comment if you want to see a shelter in your state featured.
