Online Cat Adoption Application

Gummy Bear and his family were rescued from a high kill shelter where they were scheduled to be put to sleep. Can you believe that!?! Thanks to an independent group of volunteers, they were transported to us in the hopes that we would find them forever homes. No problem! Sadly, when this little family arrived, their momma, Independence, was so sick she was unable to continue to nurse them. Fortunately, Susan, one of our wonderful volunteers, took in the babies and bottlefed them until they could eat on their own. What a blessing she is to them and to us.
According to Susan, "Gummy Bear is an all black male. Mom weighs about 25 pounds. Probably will be about 35 pounds or less with medium length fur."
We anticipate that Gummy Bear will be neutered and ready for his forever home in mid-August.
*** How familiar are you with the Labrador Retriever? According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Labrador Retriever is a loving, affectionate, lovable, patient dog. Once known as the "St John's Dogs," the Labrador Retriever is one of the most popular breeds in the United States. Originally from Newfoundland, Canada the Labrador was trained to jump overboard into the icy waters to haul fisherman's nets to shore. Specimens were brought to England in the 1800's by English ships coming from Labrador, where the dog's fine retrieving instincts were honed and developed. One of the best family dogs and canine companions because of their gentle, loving disposition, the highly trainable Labrador also excels in drug detection, as a guide for the blind, and service dog for the disabled. The breed is also an outstanding obedience and field trial competitor. Highly intelligent, loyal, willing, and high-spirited. Lively and good-natured, they love to play, especially in water - for they love to swim. They have an excellent, reliable, temperament and are friendly, superb with children and equable with other dogs. They crave human attention and need to feel as though they are part of the family. Labs are easily trained. These dogs are watchdogs, not guard dogs, although some have been known to guard. They have a life expectancy of 10-12 years.
