Pet Connection: Jan. 25, 2024

<TOSS TO PET CONNECTION> WE’RE STARTING YOU OFF WITH VIXEN – A TWO YEAR OLD CATTLE DOG MIX WHO WAS PICKED UP AS A STRAY AND NEVER CLAIMED. VIXEN HAS COME A LONG WAY IN HIS TIME AT THE SHELTER… HE STARTED A BIT STANDOFFISH BUT GRADUALLY WARMED UP TO THE STAFF. THOUGH HE’S A SWEET HIGH- ENERGY BOY, HE CAN GET STUBBORN WHEN HE HAS DO SOMETHING HE DOESN’T WANT TO DO. VIXEN WILL NEED SOMEONE WHO’S PATIENT AND ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH HIS ENERGY LEVEL, AND WOULD PROBABLY BE BEST AS THE ONLY PET IN THE HOME. IF YOU’D LIKE TO ADD VIXEN TO YOUR FAMILY, VISIT THE NORTH COUNTRY SPCA. NEXT, THIS KITTY NAMED AXII – HE’S ABOUT SIX YEARS OLD AND IS A QUIET AND MELLOW GUY. AXII PREFERS A LOW-STRESS HOME WITH A VERY CONSISTENT ROUTINE… FOR EXAMPLE, HIS IMPORTANT ITEMS LIKE HIS LITTER BOX SHOULD ALWAYS STAY IN THE SAME SPOT. WE’D LIKE TO SEE AXII GO TO A HOME WITHOUT ANY OTHER PETS TO MAKE HIM AS COMFORTABLE AS POSSIBLE. THOUGH HE ISN’T SUPER ACTIVE, HE’D LOVE FOR YOU TO JOIN HIM IN BIRDWATCHING AND CAT NAP SNUGGLES. IF YOU’D LIKE TO ADD THIS LOW- KEY KITTY TO YOUR HOME, MEET AXII AT THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF CHITTENDEN COUNTY. FINALLY, ANOTHER SPOTLIGHT ON DRAPER – HE’S JUST UNDER A YEAR OLD AND CAME IN AS A STRAY. DRAPER IS MISSING ONE OF HIS EYES, BUT IT DOESN’T SEEM TO BOTHER HIM VERY MUCH. HE GETS AROUND WELL AND WOULD DO BEST AS AN INDOOR/ OUTDOOR CAT. DRAPER SHOULD BE THE ONLY CAT IN THE HOME, BUT DOES GET ALONG WELL WITH CAT- SAVVY DOGS AND KIDS TOO! IF YOU’RE INTERESTED IN GIVING DRAPER HIS FOREVER HOME, CONTACT THE WINDHAM COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY. AND THIS WEEK’S FOREVER HOME FOUND GOES TO BROTHERS BILL AND ARE READY TO BE SP
