Pets Available for Adoption From C.A.R.E., Week of Sept. 19 2016

The Community Animal Rescue Effort has several cats and dogs available for adoption. The non-profit organization has a goal to serve the entire North Shore region and northern parts of the city of Chicago.

Every other week, Patch will highlight a set of cats and dogs available for adoption from C.A.R.E., which will have a shelter facility open in Skokie in 2017.

Information on these adoptable pets was submitted to Patch by C.A.R.E. (Community Animal Rescue Effort).

RAMONA & MENDEL
Ramona and Mendel, 6-month-old sister and brother kitties with glossy black coats, are described simply as "a joy" by their foster mom for their loud, exuberant purrs. “We are playful and we each have our favorite toys,” the kitties say. “For Ramona it's round balls to chase, and Mendel likes soft toys that he can carry around. We got the opportunity to run on a big cat wheel--that was tons of fun and we learned how to do it very fast! We are very healthy and shiny, but we have tested positive for a Corona Virus. A small percentage of cats get sick with the virus and most don't, so we think we're going to be O.K. but we need someone with a big heart to give us a chance at rescue. Could that be you?”

Adoption Information: Ramona and Mendel are a bonded pair who must be adopted together. Ramona & Mendel are microchipped, spayed/neutered, have had a full veterinary checkup and vaccines.

CLYDE
Clyde is a smart, energetic nearly 3-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix who’s ready to be your friend. “When I hear things outside the house, I bark to sound the alert—and my hearing is really good, which means I would do better in a house than an apartment. I love meeting and playing with other dogs, and I know I’ll be a star student when at dog obedience classes. Despite my energy, I settle down nicely when I’m in my crate. Won’t you come meet me soon?”

Adoption Information: Clyde is a large dog, weighing about 55 lbs. Because of his size, Clyde’s ideal family would have kids who are older and experienced with dogs. Clyde is crate-trained and housebroken. Attendance in D.O.G. Obedience classes is required. Clyde is neutered, microchipped and has had a full veterinary checkup and vaccines.
