CASINO
If you’re looking for a friendly, mature gentleman to spend your time with, here I am! You can “bet” on me, Casino! I’m here at Animal Friends because my owner had medical problems and could no longer take care of me. I’m used to being around people and love a good scratch behind the ears and long walks. And when I say long walks, that’s what I mean: as a beagle, I hope you don’t mind if I stop to sniff everything in sight! I’d be a great companion for an older person or family, as I’m not that interested in playing. I just like to nose around and hang out with you! Please come see me at Animal Friends in Pittsburgh,PA!

GRETEL
Hello – Gretel here. There are three things I really want in life: 1. Nice long walks in the evening; 2. Naps on the couch; 3. Belly rubs! And not necessarily in that order.
Yes, things are pretty simple for me. I’m an adult dog, and I’m one of the members of the distinguished Red Collar Society. Smart people like yourself surely know that mature pets can make the best companions.
I’m already crate-trained and I’m getting over my old issues. I do need to go home with another dog, though to help me adjust. I’m looking for a nice, quiet home to move into, maybe without young children. Want a buddy to relax with? Come down to Animal Friends and meet me!
GEM
This gorgeous longhaired gray cat named Gem is definitely a jewel of a young cat. Gem adores being with people, and she isn’t shy about hopping up onto a lap for some petting and cuddling. No amount of affection could ever be too much for this lovable little lap cat. But Gem is practically a kitten, and she still has that fun-loving and curious spirit in her soul. This pleasant gal loves to play with any kind of cat toys, ranging from a laser light to a catnip toy mouse to a fluffy feather toy. And when you watch this fluffy ball of gray fur moving so fast on her playful feet, it will be hard to tell whether you or Gem is having the most fun. We think Gem would be happiest in a home with adults and older children. If you’ve been looking for a cat who is perfectly precious, our Gem may be just the girl for you. She’s pretty, she’s affectionate, and she’s fun. And Gem’s love is truly priceless and far more valuable than the finest gold or diamonds. There is no question that our Gem will be a treasure to the lucky family who adopts her. Visit Animal Friends to see her!
CLAY
Can you believe that someone could abandon such a handsome dog? That’s what happened to Clay, until our Humane Officers rescued him and brought him. And boy oh boy, was he happy to see them! He wiggled his way right into their van and right into our hearts. Clay is the perfect doggie age. He’s past the crazy puppy nipping, he has a calm presence with his handler, but still can play and romp with the best of them. We have learned so much about Clay since he’s been going to a specialty training class with one of his favorite volunteers. When Clay first arrived, he wasn’t fond of his dog neighbors. But now after 2 months of classes, Clay has realized that being around other dogs isn’t so scary. He has learned to respond calmly to other dogs by wearing a Gentle Leader and has even become the “example” dog in his class. The newbies follow Clay’s lead to see how they’re supposed to behave! This guy does his SITS like a champ and is very attuned to the person at the other end of the leash, especially when that person has a yummy treat. It’s amazing to think that someone left such an obedience star behind, You should see how Clay runs over the agility course and follows the commands of his leader with confidence and ease. Aside from his mastery of obedience, Clay is also a snuggle bug. He’s so confident in is manhood that he readily confesses to enjoying kisses on his forehead from the ladies. If you look closely, you can sometimes see a bit of lipstick left behind! Please visit Animal Friends to inquire about Clay!
BUTTERSCOTCH
Hello, I’m Butterscotch, and as you can tell, I’m quite sweet! (Okay, I’ll stop with the jokes now).
I’m a spayed domestic shorthair who loves living with people; the only problem is, my owners left! They moved somewhere that I couldn’t go, which left me here at Animal Friends. Don’t get me wrong; it’s a great place, but I’d really prefer a nice home to snuggle up in. I especially love playing with laser pointers. Oh, and I hope you like having a sleeping buddy at night!
The one thing you should know: You can’t see it in my picture, but my right eye was removed due to an ulcerative problem. It doesn’t affect me at all – maybe a little loss of depth perception, but otherwise I’m a great, fun-loving kitty. Can you find a place for me in your home? Visit Animal Friends to inquire about me.
