Story
Spock is a very loving part of our family. Unfortunately due to some unforeseen circumstances with our rental property our Rental Agreement changed and now can no longer have cats, we also had to get rid of our mini pig so this is just truly heartbreaking to endure. Spock is an adventurous male that loves to be with his owners or just meandering around. He has/will hop on you any chance a lap is present to give out some cuddles. He is truly a dog in a cats body because he just wants to be your friend and hates being isolated. Looking to find him a truly one of a kind home to fill the void that he is about to go through. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. We don't have long to find him a new home and I hope we make it before we have to surrender him to an animal shelter because that would just break my heart.

Story
This is a courtesy listing and not affiliated with Desoto Animal Rescue Society. Please contact owner for information. Nixie was rescued from an oil drilling field in downtown Memphis. Once she was all cleaned up and given a clean bill of health from the vet, she has proven to be a little black ball of sunshine and an absolute cuddlebug!  She is 3.4 months old. I’m unable to house her anymore because my dorm has a strict “no pets” policy but I don’t want to leave her at a shelter. I can’t find any rescue centers to take care of her and really want to see her taken to a loving home.  Please direct any interested inquiries to secondbhousman@gmail.com or (901) 297-0840.

Story
Miss Kitty is super fun to watch as she zooms back and forth and then snuggles up for a nap. After warming up to you, she loves to talk to you, wind around your legs, and get pets.  She would love a gentle male kitty and/or a super friendly dog to be friends with since she likes to play and then nap. She would do best in an adult home. They have been spayed, had all age appropriate vaccines, microchip, and a confirmed NEGATIVE FIV/FeLV test.  If you are interested in adopting, please go to our website and complete an online application using this link: http://www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net.   Once your application is received and processed you will be contacted by an NBAR Volunteer.

Dawn is a gorgeous Brownish/Silver tabby.  She was abandoned in a carrier behind PetSmart.  Her eye is cloudy and she has some sight loss in one eye, but she has full sight in her other eye.
