Spring Rescues Need Homes

This week, The Pet Rescue Center is pleased to feature two animals that were rescued in April and saved from euthanasia due to over-crowded conditions at the county animal shelter in Orange.  Lorenzo and Mr. Roar, both young and spirited, are ready to find their forever families.

Lorenzo, a 2 year old Pomeranian/Corgi mix, is good with kids, dogs, and cats. He’s neutered, house-trained, and up-to-date with his shots. The Pet Rescue Center took one look at him in the county shelter and knew he would be a great dog for a loving family. He was dropped off at the shelter as a stray, and his family never came to get him. Lorenzo is very playful and affectionate, and he would love someone to spend his days with. Other dogs or children in the household would be a plus for him, because he likes to play. Please come meet him and see just how special he really is.

Mr. Roar was given his name because he loves to talk and is as handsome as a tiger; he’s an orange tabby with short hair. Mr. Roar is about 3 years old, neutered, up-to-date with his shots, and is good with kids, dogs, and other cats. Since coming to The Pet Rescue Center, his personality has really blossomed. Although he loves attention, he can also be independent. He likes to play with toys and is a typical curious kitty. Mr. Roar talks a lot and loves it if you talk back. He wouldn’t mind being in a household with other cats, but he would be happy to have all the attention for himself. If you have a room for a big, sweetheart like Mr. Roar, please come meet with him today.

All interested parties must fill out an Adoption Application, which will be reviewed to find the best possible match for the pet and for the interested family. Pets are visited by appointment only, but times are flexible. Please email Casey Oliver, Director of Operations, at The Pet Rescue Center, at adopt@thepetrescuecenter.org to arrange a meeting time. The adoption fee is $300 for dogs and $150 for cats, and includes spay/neuter, microchip, flea treatment, deworming, regular veterinary check-ups, and current vaccinations. This fee helps to defray the costs of medical care, supplies, and boarding while the animals are in their care.

The Pet Rescue Center, located inside Alicia Pet Care Center in Mission Viejo, is a 501c3 non-profit organization that rescues, rehabilitates, and re-homes pets saved from euthanasia at high-kill shelters and other at-risk situations. These pets are provided with a veterinarian-supervised, temporary sanctuary, while they work to find an adopting family for them. They have successfully saved and adopted out more than 600 dogs and cats in the past five years. To view their adoptable cats and dogs, to volunteer, or to make a donation, please visit them online at www.thepetrescuecenter.org or call 877.277.7938. You can also "like" and follow them on Facebook.
