RAFFERTY RESCUE PET OF THE WEEK: Fluffy

May 8, 2023

Hey Ya’ll! My name is Fluffy, and it’s paw-some to meet you! I’m a laid-back, young adult who is looking for a loving home to call my own – could that be with you?! My adoption day is what I’ve been dreaming of, so let me tell you a bit about me in case you can make my dreams come true!

I am approximately 3-years-old and 47 pounds of cuddle-bug! I love naps by the back door, chew toys and hot dogs! I adore short walks outdoors and I love to sniff and explore! I would really like a home with a yard so I can zoom, zoom, zoom! I enjoy ALL back scratches and attention from my all human friends and I like to play with other dogs as well. I don’t mind getting in the car, I just like assistance while getting in – hehe. I do hope the next time I hop in it will be for my ride to Furever! Come in to Providence Animal Center soon to meet me… We may just be a match!

Zoomies & lickies,
Fluffy

ADOPTABLE PET: Meet Lola

May 8, 2023

Hi! I'm Lola! I'm a gorgeous, one-of-a-kind brown tabby gal who is patiently waiting for my purr-fect match at Providence Animal Center, in Media! My friends at PAC are still getting to know me, but can confidently say that I am chatty, social and love gentle chin scratches!

If you’re looking for a curious companion to join your crew, I might be the gal for you! Interested in meeting me, and possibly falling in love? Head over to Providence Animal Center soon – no appointment necessary!

I truly am the packaged deal – I am spayed, microchipped, litterbox trained, and up-to-date on vaccinations.

ADOPTION SUCCESS STORY: Dobby

May 8, 2023
We love adding a good partner-in-crime to the crew! We're certain Dobby agrees. His family writes…
All is well with Dobby. He's adjusted well with his partner in crime Sonny.
They enjoy chasing each other in the yard & proving that there is no such thing as an “indestructible dog toy”.
They made an appearance in Steve Forbert's new music video “What's A Dog Think”, they are playing tug @ the 1:40 mark.
He makes us happy.”
Happy forever, Dobby!

RAFFERTY RESCUE PET OF THE WEEK: Road Runner

April 26, 2023

Hey, Ya’ll!

My name is Road Runner, and I am so excited to meet you! I’m a laid back adult doggo who came all the way from the Sunshine State to find my forever home. After such a long trip, I’ve been dreaming of my adoption day, so let me tell you a little about myself – in case you think you can help me make my dream come true: I am around 4 years old and 42 pounds of sweetness! I love cheese sticks and hot dogs and toys that put my sniffer to work – like ‘snufflemats.’ I love to go on leisurely walks but prefer to spend my days as a couch potato, snuggling my humans. I have met some kitties at #PAC and could definitely go home with the right kitty sibling. I hope you come in to meet me soon because I can’t wait to go on forever adventures with you!

Swing by the Center to meet me soon – you won’t regret it!

Nose Boops & Tail Wags,

Road Runner

PS – Adoption fees for dogs like me plus ALL of the pets in the Center are 75% off Thursday & Friday, April 27th & 28th.

ADOPTABLE PET: Meet Penne

April 26, 2023

Hi! I'm Penne! I'm a gorgeous amber coated gal who is patiently waiting for my forever family at Providence Animal Center, in Media! I recently made the journey from an overcrowded shelter in Florida, all the way to PAC so I would have the best chance at happily ever after! Since I am just out of puppyhood, I am looking for a family who wants to help me learn new things every day – like cool tricks! I am happy-go-lucky, active and so excited for the next chapter in my life!

If you’re interested in adding 38 pounds of adorableness to your family, be sure to come meet me soon! No appointment necessary. I truly am the packaged deal – I am up-to-date on vaccines, spayed, and microchipped.

ADOPTION SUCCESS STORY: Archie (FKA Blondie)

April 26, 2023
If you love someone, let them nap! Archie seems to really be embracing the sign in his new forever home! His family writes…
He’s doing great!  We’ve renamed him Archie,  seems to fit him.  He settled in pretty quick and seems to like us😊.”

 

RAFFERTY RESCUE PET OF THE WEEK: Robin

April 14, 2023

Hey Ya’ll! My name is Robin, and it’s so, so, SO nice to meet you! I’m an energetic young adult who is looking for a loving home to call my Furever – could that be with you?! My adoption day is what I dream of, so let me tell you a bit about me in case you can make my dreams come true!

I am approximately 1-year-old and 56 pounds of pure love and energy! I think bouncy balls and rope toys are the best, especially outside in the sunshine! I love long walks and playing with my humans, so an active family would suit me well! I love pets and getting attention from my people friends but I also love hanging out with other doggos! I could even go home with the right doggy roommate. I might even like a feline friend if they can match my energy! I didn’t mind the ride here from Georgia but I hope the next time I get in a car it will be for my ride HOME! Come in to Providence Animal Center soon to meet me… I think we could be a match!

Tails Wags & Nose Boops,

Robin

ADOPTABLE PET: Meet Paris

Hi! I'm Paris! I'm a gorgeous brindle gal who recently made the journey from an overcrowded shelter in Georgia to Providence Animal Center, in Media! I spent some time in a foster home to prepare for my big adoption day, and my foster family says she is a “certified good girl”! I love other dogs relaxing in the sun, and tasty treats! That means I can live with the right doggy sibling in my forever home. I am 40 pounds of cuteness, and ready to become part of your family soon!

Interested adopters can head to Providence Animal Center, in Media, to meet me! I truly am the packaged deal – I am up-to-date on vaccines, spayed, and microchipped.

RAFFERTY RESCUE PET OF THE WEEK: Zeus

March 30, 2023

Hey Y’all! My name is Zeus, and I’m thrilled to make your acquaintance! I am approximately 1 year old and 47 pounds of handsomeness. I am patiently waiting for my furever family to walk through the doors at Providence Animal Center, in Media! Until then, I’m getting tons of love and affection from my friends at #PAC.

Speaking of those friends, they’ve gotten to know me really well during my stay, and all agree I’m the sweetest, most kiss-able boy ever. I love making new friends – both two- and four-legged! I could probably live with the right doggy sibling, but they’ve got to be as into zooming around a yard as I am. I don’t mind the car so much, but I think I would definitely love a good car ride to my new home! If you’re interested in learning more about me, swing by Providence Animal Center soon to meet me in person! One look into my eyes and you’ll be forever smitten!

Lickies & Boops,
Zeus

ADOPTABLE PET: Meet Oreo

March 30, 2023

Hi, I'm Oreo! I'm a gorgeous black and white tuxedo cat who is patiently waiting for my purr-fect match at Providence Animal Center, in Media! I love spending time with calm people who give me tons of chin scratches, and lounging in a comfortable spot with a view! At PAC, I am always climbing up so I can watch all of the interested adopters walk in. My friends describe her as curious, sweet and social! I would be an amazing companion to a low-key family who would love a quiet and affectionate kitty.

Does that sound like your family? Head into Providence Animal Center soon to meet me! I truly am the packaged deal – I am spayed, microchipped, litterbox trained, and up-to-date on vaccinations.

Can’t adopt, but interested in supporting pets like me? Make a donation from their Wish List, which you can view at ProvidenceAC.org/Wishlist!

ADOPTION SUCCESS STORY: Leo

March 30, 2023
It's so funny and cute when furry family members get to know our routines and plan accordingly! Leo, (FKA Chobani), has certainly figured out his humans' schedules! His family writes…
Chobani, now named Leo, is doing very well. He's the friendliest, cuddliest, cat we've ever had. He loves his daily belly rubs and sitting by the window to wait for the kids as they come home from school. It only took a few days but he already has our schedules memorized. He knows that at exactly 3:30pm, theyre going to walk through the door and immediately play with him. I've been training him to sit and stay, he's motivated by snacks but he's quickly getting it. 😀 Here's a picture of him enjoying his window view. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to make him a member of our family. He is well loved by all of us here.”
Happy forever, Leo!!

RAFFERTY RESCUE PET OF THE WEEK: Smiley

March 23, 2023

Oh, hello there! My name is Smiley and it’s so amazing to meet you! I recently joined the adoptable doggy crew at Providence Animal Center, in Media, from an overcrowded local shelter. I just know my big adoption day is right around the corner, and I just need that one lucky family to come through the doors at #PAC soon! Could that be YOU?!

I am approximately 4 years old and 40 pounds of love. While my friends are still getting to know more about me, they all agree I am shy, sweet and friendly! I walk well on the leash (as long as I get my sniffies in) and don’t mind being in the car. I like most older kids as babies tend to scare me a little and they can be loud. I could also go home with the right kitty or doggy roommate as well! I’m ready to be someone’s forever companion. If you think that’s you, come meet me soon! I can’t wait!

XOXO,

Smiley

P.S. Have you ever seen a doggo with better ears than me?!
