Big husky lost in University Park--NOW HOME!

Crossposted:

Samba is still missing. We've looked all over UP and College Heights.
We're distraught. She has one brown eye and one blue eye. She is very
skinny because she's sick - and she is missing her collar. We need to
get her home and to the doctor. Here is a MD number if you see her:
301-531-4439

Black lab spotted

A large dark dog--perhaps a black lab--was seen around nine tonight on the top of Crest Ave.

Fabulous dog being fostered in Cheverly

Beamer (two-year old lab mix) has been in Cheverly for a month--and is doing so nicely! She is great with other dogs and a model house guest! She's a little shy at first, but warms up quickly. You can follow her adventures on her blog! For more info, check out her petfinder page, too.

Saturaday, Oct 16 - National Feral Cat Day

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of National Feral Cat Day helps to remind our community that Trap‐Neuter‐Return (TNR) and other humane programs for feral cats are in the best interest of the cats and the community. Please keep this in mind as you enjoy your day.

Free Cat & Rabbit Adoptions for One Week...

...at the League (Animal Welfare League of Arlington)! To ease overcrowding for the cats already waiting for homes and make room for new cats and kittens coming in to their shelter every day, they are offering free adoptions of all cats at least one year old and $50 kitten adoptions from October 9-17. All cats are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. All rabbit adoptions are also free during that same week. Won't you come meet a pet who needs you today?


If you are in the market for a furry friend (like Bowie, above), we highly encourage you to check them out.

Rescued Cheverly kittens available for adoption

Because of strong dedication and great persistence by some of our wonderful town residents, these two ADORABLE kittens were rescued from a hard life of living on the streets. They're a couple of months old and both are social, happy and healthy. The black one is still a bit shy at first, but warms up quickly.

If you're interested in finding out more about these kitties or even meeting them, please contact cheverlycarneys@gmail.com.





We'd also like to recognize the devotion and effort of everybody involved in helping to TNR the feral mother of these two. So far this year, several wonderfully committed volunteers have stepped forward to assist, coordinate and TNR other neighborhood feral cats. We should also extend a big thanks to those that stepped up to foster, market and adopt out several homeless Cheverly cats and kittens.

We still have a long way to go, but it's great to see so many involved in reducing the homeless and feral cat population of our town. If anybody else is interested in helping in this matter, please use the Contact Us button to let us know. We're building a coalition!
