Abandoned Pets Seek New Homes

This week, The Pet Rescue Center is featuring Sarah and Hancho, a dog and cat abandoned by their owners at the county animal shelter in Orange.  Both pets are available for adoption and looking for their 'furever' homes.

Sarah is a gorgeous Cocker Spaniel that had been severely neglected by her previous owner and then dumped at the county shelter. She was suffering from double Cherry Eye and severe dental disease.  The Pet Rescue Center saved her and gave her the medical treatment she required. Sarah is approximately 8 years old, has been spayed, micro-chipped, and is up to date on her vaccines. She would do well as the only dog in a quiet home with the love and attention she deserves. Come meet her today and see if she is your girl!

Hancho is a handsome 6-year-old cat, and like Sarah,  was surrendered to the shelter by his owners. He was at OC Shelter for almost 2 months before The Pet Rescue Center saved him. The volunteer staff at OC loved him so much that they made sure The PRC had a chance to meet him before they left. He is a happy cat in his new surroundings where he can stretch out in the play room.  Hancho craves attention and wants to be loved in a home setting. He needs a lap and someone to snuggle up to. He loves hugs! He will provide a life-time of companionship if you bring him home!  He is neutered, micro-chipped, and up to date on his vaccines.

Both Hancho and Sarah need a second chance! Do you have room in your heart and home for an adoptable pet?

The Pet Rescue Center, located inside Alicia Pet Care Center in Mission Viejo, is a 501c3 non-profit organization that rescues, rehabilitates, and re-homes pets saved from euthanasia at high-kill shelters and other at-risk situations. These pets are provided with a veterinarian-supervised, temporary sanctuary, while The Pet Rescue Center works to find an adopting family for them. They have successfully saved and adopted out more than 600 dogs and cats in the past five years. To view their adoptable cats and dogs, to volunteer, or to make a donation, please visit them online at www.thepetrescuecenter.org or call 877.277.7938. You can also "like" and follow them on Facebook.

All interested parties must fill out an Adoption Application, which will be reviewed to find the best possible match for the pet and for the interested family. Pets are visited by appointment only, but times are flexible. Please email Casey Oliver, Director of Operations, at The Pet Rescue Center, at adopt@thepetrescuecenter.org to arrange a meeting time. The adoption fee is $300 for dogs and $150 for cats, and includes spay/neuter, microchip, flea treatment, deworming, regular veterinary check-ups, and current vaccinations. This fee helps to defray the costs of medical care, supplies, and boarding while the animals are in their care.
