It's Summer's Time...and Buckley too!
Summer, a rescued pup previously featured in Patch, and her pal Buckley are now available for adoption.
This week, The Pet Rescue Center is excited to share that Summer, the rescued shelter dog, is now available for adoption. Summer, along with her pal, Buckley, are ready for their forever families!
Summer's Story...
It has been just 3 short months since The Pet Rescue Center saved Summer from the shelter. She was emaciated, with severe hair loss, open soars, and painfully lactating breasts. See her previous Patch story here. Within 48 hours, Summer had made huge changes. Immediately the excitement of getting treated like a puppy took over. She has thoroughly enjoyed every step of her progress at The PRC. Her weekly routine consists of playing with other dogs, field trips to events, and volunteer outings, a walk every 2 hours, delicious food and all the snuggles and belly scratches she could ever ask for. Summer has never met a dog or person she didn't like...she is such a playful girl. She has made a full recovery and is ready for adoption. A dog like Summer will be eternally grateful to her next owner. She is ready to love and be loved. Come meet the girl we all fought for and see just how deserving she is of forever friendship!
Summer, a 3-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix, is spayed, micro-chipped, and up-to-date on her vaccines. She's approximately 50 lbs. and is black, with white markings.
Meet Buckley! He is a sweet 3-year-old cat, with the greatest personality. He was brought to The Pet Rescue Center by a very nice family that had cared for him while they could, but were unable to keep him due to their resident pets. He melted the hearts of the staff first when they first met him. He is very good-natured and is gentle for a big boy. Buckley loves to cuddle and likes to "talk". If you are interested in a new forever friend, he would love to go home with you! Come meet with him!
Buckley is mostly cream colored, has been neutered, micro-chipped, and is up-to-date on his vaccines.
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.
