I like people with gentle hands and soft voices. I'd get along with other cats and maybe even a dog if it wasn't too noisy and didn't chase me. Whenever Thunder is walking, he sticks his tail straight up in the air, without fail. We Care calls him their little submarine because his tail looks like the periscope thing that sticks up. I am a neutered male, gray domestic longhair. I have been in rescue since

Parker  Intake date: 10/15/2012 Chihuahua Cross Sex Male Color Charcoal Weight 11.8 lbs Neutered Age Adult Size Small Parker has that allusive breed mix that will keep you guessing. There is no question he is unique. He is a stud-muffin with a seal coat and a charming personality. This is one of the main reasons our Pet Partnership team felt compelled to bring him back to Marin. Parker grows on you. You can use his "foodie" status to improve his training skills once you enroll him into "Family Dog 1" class. He was housed with another small polite dog; however sharing is not high on his list and he would prefer to be an only dog. Parker wants to start fresh and is looking for some guidance. His ideal household would be a first time family with older (10+) children. Parker is irresistible and with a little help from his friends will make a wonderful lifelong companion.

Goblin
HS A Little Bit About Me Goblin comes to us from Napa Animal Shelter as part of our Pet Partnership program. He is an active, engaging young dog who LOVES toys and balls. He will run around and entertain himself with a squeaky toy or ball in his mouth. One of his favorite games however, is keep-away so his new adopter with have to work with him on a good recall. Once he has bonded with his new person that will be much easier. Goblin was very tolerant of all handling making him appropriate for kids as young as 6. Remember that dogs and kids should always be supervised in their interaction. We are not sure whether Goblin is completely housetrained so don't give him run of the house at the beginning. Keep him in an area where he can be supervised until you are sure. Goblin is very food motivated so training should go well. Sign him up for a Small Dog I class and go from there. He was good with all the dogs he met here so he should make a fine second dog in the household provided he is well matched with the resident dog. If you are looking for a happy, fun young dog to share your life, take a look at Goblin, he may be your perfect match!

GRIFFIN  Date In: 12-21-2012 Domestic Medium Hair Male, Orange Tabby / White Weight 15.9 lbs Neutered Age Adult Size large Lovely Griffin hitched a ride with our Pet Partnership van from Napa County, hoping for a new home in Marin. His beautiful orange long hair coat really stands out, especially with his white highlights, including a cute white nose, which makes him a sun risk if let outside. We found Griffin to be friendly, social, and fun, and very focused on the door to the outside. Please keep him safely away from doors that open, especially in the beginning before he knows he is home. When you take Griffin home please set him up in a room with all he needs, and visit him often for a cuddle to bond, and a swinging wand toy to help him regain his figure, and he will soon be gracing your entire home with his beauty and fun personality.

I love people and other dogs. I'm very friendly to everyone. My hobbies include: walking, playing, rolling on my back for belly rubs, and cuddling with everyone!

HI -- I'm
Celine, a Rat terrier/Chihuahua mix. I'm just a tiny thing but I have a lot
of love to give! There's a saying --"always a bridesmaid, never a bride..."
and that's kinda how I feel. I've had five kennel mates who've all found
homes. I'm patiently waiting for my turn. I'm a fun, happy gal looking for
my forever home. I love to play and run around with the other dogs at the
Shelter. I also love to go for walks. I think I would just love to snuggle
on your lap or better yet in your bed! I just know we could be a match made
in heaven. Ask for Celine. Kristen Loomer 21 |

Hi everyone, I'm Bessie a 4
year old Chihuahua mix weighing about 9 pounds. I'm a shy gal who's learning
to come out of her shell. I am still shy with people I don't know, but when
given the time to warm up and a treat to help sweeten the deal, I do really
well. I would do best in a quiet home with people that have some prior
experience with shy dogs. I get along with other dogs as long as they aren't
too hyper and offer me my space. I am also house trained. Will you be my new
friend? Just ask for Bessie. 25 |

Odie on his foster home
couch
|
I am currently fostering Odie part time. He is a big 'ole love bug and settled into our home as if he's been here all along. He needs a refresher on house training, but is doing well and has learned the doggie door. He LOVES his walks! He is great with my female doxie. He does need work as far as touching his feet, especially the back ones. He was not protective of his food until I gave him a rawhide bone, and then he became possessive. I would not recommend him to a home with young children, but otherwise, I think he's an awesome boy! I feel sorry for him knowing that he was in a home and was then left at the shelter. (Elderly owner surrender). I'm sure he was lost and confused, and who wouldn't be grumpy after that? I do believe he's come a very long way. He would make a wonderful pet, and I'm surprised he's still at the shelter. He was friendly when meeting other small dogs he did not seem interested in shelter cat. I am a male, black Chihuahua
- smooth coated.

HI -- I am Clawdia. After being on my own in the world for six months, which is most of my life, I am trying to get used to being inside with people. I am sooo curious and want to learn to be a pal. I need a gentle, kind person to help me along. I know I can learn to love being a pampered pet! I also have a knack for hunting, after so much time on my own, so if you are looking for a mouser, I'm your cat. I am a tiny "tortoiseshell" colored kitty. Pretty fancy for a simple girl like me! Come and say hello. I kind of like hanging out in my leopard print cozy bed here at the Shelter. I love a kind word and a scratch under the chin. I might just get used to the civilized world. thank you – Clawdia Date In: 02-01-2013 Napa County Animal Shelter 31 |

At 10 years of age Indie may be the "senior
citizen" of the cat rooms, but she has a lot of life left in her. She wants
nothing more than a comfy place to sleep and a quiet home where she can
relax. Indie gets along with other cats, but is a bit of a loner and prefers
to be on her own or in the company of people. If you have a place in your
heart for a mature, laid-back, low-maintenance cat, look no further. She's
the one!

Hiya, I'm Cookie, a Labrador Retriever mix. I'm a big, friendly dog with lots of energy. Since I have so much energy, I'll require owners that are strong and very active. I'm a smart girl, already house trained and I know several commands. I get along great with other dogs and love to go for long walks. If there are kids in the home, they should be 10 & up - I sometimes forget that I'm a big strong girl and could knock over very little kids on accident. I can't wait to meet you! Just ask for Cookie.

Sadie is a female, adorable little blue merle dapple Doxie mix, looking for the perfect lap to share. Once she wiggles her way into your heart, she can be a little possessive, and want to chase away the competition. However, a short and sweet "EH" correction, and suddenly she becomes the little darling she shows herself to be at all other times. GREAT on the leash, she loves to take her short walks at a comfortable pace. A hearty eater, but not rude. This little girl is a cuddler, and is looking for a snuggler to match. I am a female, blue merle Dachshund.I am estimated to be about 8 years old. I have been at a shelter since 02/09/2013.

BREED Terrier, American Pit
Bull/Mix This dog truly has a heart of gold. Bonita is a very energetic and affectionate dog who needs some work on manners, both with people and with other dogs. She may or may not be able to live with another dog, depending on the situation. We are also working with her on leash training and she is making good progress. Bonita is very willing to learn but will require a patient, dedicated owner who can commit the time to working with her, in order to bring out the best she has to offer. In return, you will get a dog that we like to say is an "ambassador of her breed", gentle, loving and very devoted. She did okay with cats, but should not be placed in a home with small children. If you can commit to putting in the effort with Bonita, she would love to be your new best friend!

Jaelyn was surrendered by her owner. She was very timid when she first came to the shelter. She is still a little nervous when handling. She is now coming up for attention when out on walks and in the play yard. She was friendly acting when meeting other dogs. She did not seem interested in shelter cats. She lifted head away from food when asked for bowl and she did not seem interested in rawhide. She will need training and some one that will work patiently with her. She would do best in an adult home. I am a female, white pit

In January 2013 some nice people rescued me from starving on the streets. I was not a happy camper. They were great, but I'm a solo kinda guy, and really don't like the company of dogs, or other cats. Since they had both, they brought me here to find a new home. Take me home and you'll see my regal qualities, and it would be my pleasure to strut my cunning cat walk for you. When you feel like a hug, I'm your guy, the more you hug me, the more I'll purr for you and never want to let go. I was fine being an indoor only until I figured out how to use the cat door.

Charlene
Labrador/Pit Bull
Charlene came to us because her previous owner lost his home and could no
longer care for her. Charlene spent a great deal of her day outside in the
yard although she did sleep inside the house. We speculate that she did not
get a great deal of socialization in her life as she is sensitive to her
environment and reacts to sudden noises. Animal ID: 176379 Adoption Center: (415) 506-6225 61 |

Sailor
Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua
Sweet little Sailor is looking to find his place in this world. He was found
as a stray running in Novato and a good Samaritan brought him to us. The
shelter can be a stressful place, after all, so you'll want to go slowly
with him. We know there's a funny, friendly, active dog inside him... he
just needs your patience, love and encouragement to come out of his shell.
He spent almost 2 months at San Quentin as part of our Pen Pals of San
Quentin Program. While he was there he did blossom into a sweet,
affectionate dog who bonded very closely with his inmate handler and the
other inmates he had contact with. Sailor just needs time to get to know new
people but once he does he is a happy loving little guy who wants nothing
more than to hang out in a nice warm lap. During Sailor's stay his handler
kept a daily log. We encourage potential adopters to read it. You will see
the transition from shy, nervous dog to a happy, secure dog. Animal ID: 175158 Adoption Center: (415) 506-6225 62 |

Jasper
Italian Greyhound/French Bulldog
Jasper is handsome and elegant, as only a small dog can be. He has not had
much socialization in his young life so his adopters will have to start a
program of exposing him to all the sights, sounds, smells, and situations
that he will encounter during the rest of his life. Enrolling him in a small
dog training class will go a long way to establishing a bond with him and
give him confidence to face the world. Animal ID: 177561 Adoption Center: (415) 506-6225 63 |

Casper
Chihuahua/Whippet
Casper comes to us as an owner surrender. His first owner lost their home
and the second did not have time for Casper. He is now looking for a forever
home he can call his own. Casper is a sweet, cute, energetic little guy who
loves toys and tug games but is a little unsure of new people and
situations. This is probably due to lack of early socialization. Casper most
likely did not have a lot of experience with people and stable dogs in his
first 12 weeks of life. He is still young so some of those deficiencies can
still be made up. Casper is very intimidated by large dogs and barks at them
to tell them to go away. He is better with dogs his own size but it still
takes him time to become comfortable with them. Once he is comfortable he is
fine and will play. Casper does, however, prefer people to other canines.
Dog parks are not the place for Casper. His exercise should be long walks
with his owner and toy games such as tug. Introduce Casper to lots of new
experiences slowly. Use positive reinforcement to make these experiences
pleasant. Let him take things at his pace and don't put too much pressure on
him. Sign him up for a Family Dog I class. Classes are great for building
confidence and a bond with a new adopter Animal ID: 167534 Adoption Center: (415) 506-6225 65 |

Rainbow
Domestic Short Hair "Rainbow, have you been sitting in that fireplace all night?" Actually, this beautiful older torbie matches the temperament of one of Cinderella's stepsisters more than that of the fairy tale princess. However, that's only because she's a torbie, whose breed motto is often: "My way or the highway, bud!" This particular grand dame, with the colorful patches, is quite affectionate, sweet and interactive. She'll come visit you at the computer and adores being caressed, groomed and getting her chin rubbed. She was also very tolerant during her medical ablutions, letting out nary a peep. The fact that she hasn't shown her shadow side doesn't mean she might not. Check out that tail! If it goes, whip, whip like a metronome set at "Allegro," it's time to back off. She also doesn't suffer other cat fools gladly. She'll do better as sole proprietor of her guardian's heart. Rainbow is the kind of cat who will pad into the room and you will feel her presence. She's a great gift to the world. Animal ID: 81435 Adoption Center: (415) 506-6225 66 |

Zulu & Nandi
Nandi
Zulu and his sister, Nandi are best friends who are looking for a quiet home
to share together. Both of these young cats are quite shy initially and look
to each other for comfort and security. While in a loving foster home, they
lived with several resident dogs as well as other cats. However, the high
activity and energy levels of visiting young children sent them into hiding
until calm was restored. Therefore we feel that a serene environment with a
family who can give them time to settle in while offering gentle attention
will allow this handsome pair to blossom into lovely and loving companions.
Zulu and Nandi might enjoy the friendship of kind cat-savvy children aged 10
years and above. Animal ID: 177741 & 177740 Adoption Center: (415) 506-6225 68 |

Desiree
Domestic Short Hair Desiree is a cautious girl who is looking for a serene home with a family who will give her the time to blossom under their gentle care. She came to us with her 2 kittens, but is now ready for a home of her own. It will be important to start Desiree out initially with a small room as her safe haven. It should be equipped with food, water, and a litter box. When Desiree comes to you as you enter the room, she will be ready to explore a larger space. We recommend that you go slowly so she isn't too overwhelmed and provide her the opportunity to return to her safe haven. While in foster care she lived with older grade school children and would probably do fine with older cat savvy children. Animal ID: 177742 Adoption Center: (415) 506-6225 69 |

Sparky may have been a real firecracker in his day, but right now, he's more
like a glowing candle. He definitely needs a regular visit to Weight
Watchers and once he sheds a few pounds, he may regain some of his vim and
vigor. His previous owner reported that he was playful and confident, so
once he settles in to his new home, he may once more find his "spark."
Sparky really enjoys his kibble and bits, so he may become insistant (his
owner reported he would become nippy) as to when to be fed. Stick by your
guns and don't give in; his diet is very important to making him a healthy,
happy cat. Animal ID: 177660 Adoption Center: (415) 506-6225 70 |

Charlie
Domestic Short Hair
Charlie is reminiscent of those old-fashioned orange sherbet and vanilla ice
cream bars. He has a beautiful soft orange and white coat that is handsomely
marked with classic tabby swirls. Charlie is here because his guardian of
ten years had to move into an assisted living facility. Adjusting to the
noise and activity of shelter life has been very difficult for Charlie: What
in the world happened to his nice peaceful home and his special person??? Animal ID: 176997 Adoption Center: (415) 506-6225 71 |

William
Domestic Short Hair
Sweet shy William is a bit overwhelmed to find himself looking for his
forever home once again. Originally adopted from MHS as a kitten 3 years
ago, now his guardian has had to move and is unable to take William along.
He has lived a quiet life in an adults only home. He got along well with 2
other cats, but has no experience with children. Given his shy nature, we
feel that William would not enjoy the activity level of young children and
would do best in a calm and quiet home with adults or a family with older
children who would be sensitive and understanding about William's needs. Animal ID: 146684 Adoption Center: (415) 506-6225 72 |

Jelly Bean
Domestic Short Hair When Jelly Bean sees red - a red pen, that is - he's on it! This handsome and silky black cat must have retriever in his ancestry because he amused his former guardians by chasing after red pens and bringing them back. He also seemed to enjoy whacking the long Q-tip swab during his evaluation, so perhaps sticks are his shtick. That's his playful side. He also has a serious, contemplative and quite shy side, as evidenced by his spending lots of his time hiding under his bed here at the shelter. Scared of both dogs and children, he'll really shine in a quiet, monastic life where he doesn't have a prayer of running into that rambunctious crowd. Gentle Jelly Bean is very affectionate and loves to be groomed and caressed. His former guardians call him "a loyal companion who needs time to adjust." Also, he's reportedly a top-flight snuggler. Color Jelly Bean's world and bring him home. Animal ID: 176775 The Marin Humane Society 73 |

Domestic Medium Hair Tigger arrived here from an
overcrowded shelter in Northern California thanks to our wonderful Pet
Partnership team. This BIG handsome tabby is still not sure about this
arrangement, but he has shown us glimpses of the sweet, affectionate boy he
will be in his new home. At the moment, he is a little on the shy side. But
he does enjoy being petted and groomed, and if you listen closely, you can
hear his soft purr. Tigger's new family MUST have the time to comb or brush
his coat every day to keep it from developing painful mats and tangles. He
is more than happy to cooperate with this ritual. In fact, he was quite
tolerant of being handled during his evaluation. Animal ID: 177343 Adoption Center: (415)

Domestic Short Hair It's fair to say that beautiful Sabrina is ready to sail out of here to her
new home. She has had enough of lying around on her lofty, comfy bed, with
dainty paw hanging off, counting the days when a prospective new guardian
recognizes just how wonderful she is. Friendly and docile - unless you try
to pet her back and then she gets a little uppity - this delicate little
lady loves sitting next to you and getting her head and chin rubbed. She may
seem a little circumspect when you first meet her - she may be "too busy
napping," as one Pet Pal wrote. But we bet that when you have her attention
and gain her trust, all she'll want to do is curl up with you and watch old
Audrey Hepburn movies. And once comfortable in her surroundings, she can be
"fierce" with the feather toys. She may also roll upside-down for a little
belly action. You may notice her ear is a bit tattered. Apparently in her
past she and a neighbor cat mixed it up. Here at the shelter, the Pet Pals
report she runs hot and cold with other cats. Perhaps making her an indoor,
one-and-only cat will stave off future flying fur. P.S. - Sabrina loves
Reiki energy. She's what Reiki practitioners call a "sponge."

 Domestic Medium Hair Spayed Female - 6Yrs A Little Bit About Me Get ready for a good dose of
Southern hospitality when you visit with Miss Charlotte. This dainty and
gorgeous grey grooms her paw in the most genteel way, then slowly finds her
way to your lap for some petting. The slow life is Miss Charlotte's desire -
sipping a kitty mint julip and swinging on a hammock would do just fine. The
Pet Pals often have to coax her out of her condo since she really likes it
in there. Soft and very sweet, this green-eyed beauty also has a nose for
investigation. She'll sniff and sniff and sniff every inch of an object
until she knows exactly what it's about. Then she'll turn her attentions on
you. She does enjoy a good play session with the wand toys but don't even
think about bringing other cats around. She doesn't like them, no m'am, not
at all. Miss Charlotte is a true "Steel Magnolia" so make sure she gets her
fur brushed regularly and her claws clipped at her new home's beauty salon.

Domestic Short Hair George is a big, affectionate and confident boy. He has a large personality and is quite addicted to the outdoors. George does not want to share his territory with other felines. In George's ideal world he would have safe access to the outdoors, perhaps a large, cat-fenced property to explore without other kitties nearby, or an outdoor enclosure. George is not reticent about sharing his opinions and can be quite the conversationalist. He is a good hunter and this seems to be a main source of entertainment for him. He particularly likes to have his ears rubbed and have his cheeks scratched. George enjoys hanging out near you, but laps might not be his thing. Animal ID: 177801

and toys is heaven. If her peeps are otherwise distracted, she entertains
herself with the toys, so it's all good. Her new family should supply her
with a large basket of toys and balls to meet her needs. Animal ID: 177270 Please take note of the Animal ID before contacting us

Breed Domestic Short Hair
Cross Pooh Bear is a honey of a classic tabby with a mind of his own. This magnificent fellow is very affectionate and hugely playful. The latter is especially good since he's a little hefty and could use the exercise! Pooh bounced back to the shelter because he and the resident cat at his previous home got into tussles, so we suggest Pooh have his own little corner of your house (not "The Hundred Acre Woods") and no competition for love. Pooh Bear is social, vocal - especially at dinnertime - and very friendly; however, we suggest not trying to pick him up too many times or groom his toes and ears too often. Pooh can't bear that. He truly enjoys playing with wand toys and is not bashful about jumping up on counters or window sills to check things out! Charming Pooh Bear is looking for a storybook ending. Are you his Christopher Robin? Animal ID: 132957

Breed Chihuahua This little angel has her
whole life ahead of her. Nina is calm, gentle and shy with soft eyes and a
big heart. Like many of us, she arrived with some baggage. Having a clear
understanding of who she is will make her adoption process easier. She
probably did not have the proper exposure to other dogs and people as a
youngster. Nina wants the same things
we all do - a safe place to call home, mental and physical exercise and a
life long relationship built on trust and respect.

Breed Jack Russell Terrier
Cross Mister Jack comes to us as
an unclaimed stray. Although he may be a little wary of strangers on first
meeting he warms up quickly and is a very sweet little dog. There is some
indication he didn't get the best care in his previous home so he is now
looking for someone to give him the love and attention he deserves. Jack was
good with both large and small dogs he met here and should make a fine
second dog in the household. He was also good with handling but due to his
initial shyness we think he will do best with respectful kids at least 10
years old. Mister Jack's exercise requirement should not be excessive. A
couple of long walks around the neighborhood per day should do it.

home because his owner is no longer able to care for him. He's a big, bold
handsome fellow who wants to life live on his own terms, but at the same
time he is quite accepting of a little loving. Yoshi enjoys being groomed
and having his cheeks scratched, and will occasionally offer you a head bump
or two. He seemed very interested in the feathery wand toy we offered him,
so this would be a great way to "break the ice" and get to know each other
better. Animal ID: 174188

adults or a family with older cat-savvy children who can understand the need
to go slowly as Licorice settles in. Animal ID: 177973

Breed Domestic Short Hair Handsome Jimmy has quite a
tale to tell. Adopted with his brother as kittens, he lived happily with the
family until his brother passed away. Lonely for companionship he was
adopted by another family, but the resident cat did not care for Jimmy and
bullied him. We think Jimmy might enjoy the company of a mellow resident cat
or even a calm and gentle dog, if proper introductions were made slowly and
carefully. The hustle and bustle of small children would not be Jimmy's cup
of tea as he is a bit shy and skittish at first. He would fit well into a
home with adults or a family with older children 10 and above who would give
him gentle attention (he loves chin rubs) and time to get comfortable. He is
affectionate and playful once he is relaxed.

Domestic Short Hair Ginger was adopted as a kitten and lived in a household that included children, her sister Lucy - 106815, and a dog. Her previous owner indicates that Ginger was not overly fond of active young children, so she would be pleased to be in a home that is calmer and a little quieter, which could certainly include children who are somewhat older. She is a bit shy, but she warms up quickly, rubbing against your leg and welcoming pets. When you first bring her home, confine her to a small area with her bed, food and water, toys, scratching post and litter box. Allow her to explore the rest of your house as she's ready. It won't take this gentle girl very long to be ready to explore your world! Animal ID: 106816

Domestic Short Hair Lovely Lucy is hoping that love is even better the second time around. She was adopted from MHS as a kitten but has returned because her previous guardian has moved where cats are not welcome. Lucy has lived compatibly with a dog and another cat- her sister Ginger - 106816. She and Ginger get along but do not have to be adopted together. If you are looking for two companionable cats with a history of living together, Lucy and Ginger would be an excellent choice. On the other hand, Lucy might enjoy being the sole object of your attention and affection. A serene adult home or a family with older, quiet children might just be Lucy's cup of tea. A little shy at first, it will not take her long to warm up and start to offer gentle leg rubs and solicit pets. Lucy purrs readily and will "make biscuits" while snuggling in a comfy lap. How "purrfect" is that! Animal ID: 106815
