Our featured pet this week is Rambo, a 7-year-old brown Chihuahua who has called Woods Humane Society his home since June. Rambo is neutered, current on vaccinations, micro chipped and house trained. He was brought to the shelter when his previous owner fell ill and could no longer provide for his care. Rambo is a fun little guy who loves to play with other dogs and gets along great with people. However, his absolute favorite activity is to loaf around in the sun. Quiet and gentle—Rambo will make a wonderful addition to just about any family and due to his size, would be a great fit for someone in a condo or with a small yard. Rambo has participated in the shelter’s outreach programs as a K9 Ambassador and has also accompanied our volunteers on their visits to local retirement facilities. Don’t let this little guy’s age fool you, he is very active and has an amazing personality. Rambo is a small dog with a HUGE heart. He is also available for a reduced adoption fee of $65. Stop by Woods Humane Society and get to know Rambo and the rest of his kennelmates. Your new best friend is waiting.
Angelina
Meet Angelina—our featured pet of the week! Angelina is a 10-year-old Terrier mix (seriously a wonder dog) who was transferred into Woods Humane Society back in May. Angelina is spayed, vaccinated, micro chipped, and house trained. She walks great on a leash and is a current participant in WHS’ Critter Camp Program. Angelina is looking for a quiet home to retire in. She is very easy to work with and her potential adopter’s handling experience can be very low. Being an older dog, Angelina is currently available for a reduced adoption fee of $65. A staff member states—Angelina is a sensitive, scruffy, monster who loves to horse around with her best friend Brad. She is very smart and enjoys learning new things with her Critter Camper. Stop by the shelter and spend some time getting to know Angelina, she might be your new best friend.
This week’s featured Pet Pal is Tuffy, a 5-year-old tan & white Chihuahua mix who has called Woods Humane Society home since June. Tuffy is neutered, current on vaccinations, micro chipped, and house trained. He walks great on a leash and LOVES to jump into your arms (and stay there as long as possible). Very friendly and easy to handle, Tuffy has participated in our shelter’s outreach program as a Woods K9 Ambassador. Tuffy was brought to WHS when his previous owner fell ill and could no longer provide care for him--his previous owner states that Tuffy’s favorite activity is to “loaf in the sun”. Tuffy is a small dog with a big personality and would do very well in a smaller home or apartment. He is quiet, gentle, and sweet but we recommend that he not go to a home with very young children (he hasn’t been around young kids before). If you or anyone you know is looking for a great little companion that you can take just about everywhere—stop by Woods Humane Society and spend some time getting to know little Tuffy. Warning: You just might fall in love.
Our featured Pet of the Week is Danner, a 5-year-old Border Collie who has called Woods Humane Society home since February. Danner is neutered, vaccinated, micro chipped, crate and house trained. Danner has been working as the shelter’s humane education ambassador and visits local elementary schools to help our Program Director teach local youth about dog safety. He is also participating in the shelter’s summer Critter Camp Program and is performing wonderfully with our campers. He loves attention and is very playful. Danner would do well in a family with children and gets along well with other dogs. He is a border collie though which means that he needs an active home that is willing to treat Danner as a member of the family. He would do very well as a travel companion, loves long walks and hikes, and already has his basic obedience. Stop by Woods Humane Society and spend some time getting to know Danner, he just might be that furry companion that you have been waiting for.
Woods Humane Society continues our celebration of National Adopt a Shelter Cat Month and our 55th Year of Service to the homeless dogs and cats of San Luis Obispo County. All of the cats and kittens are currently available for a reduced adoption fee of $55 until the end of June. Our goal for this month is to break our feline adoption record (set in September of 09) by meeting and or exceeding 62 feline adoptions. As of today (Thursday) we will break this record with 4 more feline adoptions!
In celebration of all things feline, we are featuring another round of kittens this week. All kittens are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, micro chipped, and litter box trained. Usually $150 to adopt—available for a very limited time for $55! Kittunz are currently 3 months old and desperately seeking a loving family to adopt. Stop by Woods Humane Society and spend some time laughing and loving the adorable furry felines available for immediate adoption!
Reggie is an extremely handsome medium haired orange tabby with a white chin and somewhat gruff looking face that belies his incredibly sweet nature. Just walk toward him and he begins to purr—pet his extremely soft fu and he’ll melt before your very eyes! Reggie is exceptionally affectionate and loving. He’ll roll over and his back begging you for more love, and will gently grab your hand with his big soft paws and give you a soft little love bite to say thank you.
Reggie is playful, but gentle—he’d be a great choice for any household and might welcome a “brother or sister” to play with if you have children. And he’s good with other cats—can usually be found curled up with another cattery mate. Reggie is a special cat—this handsome boy is easy to get to know and easier to fall in love with—and he’s just waiting to fall in love with you, too.
Reggie is 2 years old, neutered, vaccinated, micro chipped, and is helping us to continue our celebration of National Adopt a Shelter Cat Month.

Our Pet of the Week this week is Heath, a 5-year-old neutered male cat who has called Woods Humane Society his home since December. Heath is a very handsome short haired gray boy with a white chest, white feet and a tiny white spot on his bottom lip. This guy is a LOVE BUG who just wants to be in your lap, or being held—preferably as close to you as possible. Give him a chance and he’ll happily curl up around your neck and shoulders and lick you to pieces. Heath is calm and gentle—definitely a lover, not a fighter. And he loves everyone—will happily go from lap to lap, soaking up whatever love and affection he can find. Heath is current on vaccinations, neutered, micro chipped, and litter box trained.
Heath is very tolerant and mellow and would be a great choice for a family with children. And he’s very non-aggressive toward other cats, so would probably be good with other pets. He is helping us continue our promotion of Woods’ 55th Anniversary and National Adopt a Shelter Cat Month and (along with all of the cats and kits out at Woods) is available for a reduced adoption fee of only $55!
Meet the first round of 2010 Woods Kits. These two extremely playful and friendly orange/white tabby kits are neutered, within their vaccination schedule, micro chipped, and working on their potty training. Kittens are arriving weekly at Woods and in response; we are featuring our felines (adults and kits) for a reduced adoption fee of $55 for the entire month of June. June is National Adopt a Shelter Cat Month and it is our goal to break the record of 61 feline adoptions set back in September. If you are looking to welcome a new furry friend into your family, please consider stopping by Woods Humane Society to spend some time with the adorable babies who are desperately seeking a place to call home. While you are out, we implore you to stop visit with our adult cats as they tend to be overlooked during kitten season. You can also help the cats at Woods by spreading the word to your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers about our June Promotion.
Media Pawtner Update: Thank you for helping to maintain a clear and consistent voice for the animals of Woods in our community. Last week’s featured dog—Casey—was adopted on Saturday thanks to you! And the good news doesn’t top here—LOVE HOG HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!!! after calling Woods his home for 2 years, the our resident “big boy” went home. Wait for it….

I’d have to say this has been a very good week for the cats of Woods. Previously featured animals still waiting for their perfect match are Mr. Green, Ike, Dewey and Miguel.
Muffin
Muffin is a handsome orange tabby with beautiful bright eyes. He tends to be a little shy so my not notice him right away but once he discovers you are interested in petting him he’ll become your best friend and follow you everywhere. He especially loves to have his ears rubbed and he expresses his contentment by purring like a will oiled machine. Muffin is a sweetheart and gets along well with other cats but because of his shyness would probably do better in a home without small children. Our Mr. Mellow is a gem and will be a wonderful addition to your home.
Muffin has been a guest of Woods since March and joined our adoption program as a transfer from Animal Services. He is neutered, current on vaccinations, micro chipped, and litter box trained. Muffin is helping us conclude April’s promotion and is available for a reduced adoption fee of $50.

Though he quietly keeps to himself, Ike is extremely loving and affectionate and will welcome your attention immediately. Ike starts purring as soon as you pet him and continues long after you stop—though that’s hard to do because he’s so adorable. He’ll implore you to keep rubbing by rolling over on his back and looking up at you with his love filled light gray eyes.

Trooper is a sweet dog that is neutered, vaccinated, micro chipped, and leash trained. He is a little shy, but quickly warms up to anyone willing to give him a pat on the head. He rides very well in the car, gets along great with other dogs, and is perfect for someone looking for a quite, mellow dog that is easy to manage. Very responsive to treats and affection, Trooper would be great for a smaller home with older/considerate children. Recently, Trooper accompanied a pack of dogs and Woods Volunteers out for a night with the Central Coast Roller Derby Girls. He performed wonderfully at the event and has since become one of the shelter’s handpicked Pet Visitation K9 Ambassadors. A bit of a conversation starter, at first glance most people think that Trooper is cross-eyed. In reality, he just has a unique coloring to his eyes. Trooper wants nothing more than to find a sweetheart this Valentine’s Day so if you are looking for a companion that enjoys long walks on the beach, watching the sunset, and curling up to snuggle and watch a movie, consider stopping by Woods Humane Society and spend some time getting to know this great little dog.
