Things that Go Thump in the Night...

Hooray for Fuzzy Friends!
This lil' lagomorph was fairly adorable in its photo shoot. Always remember that wee baby bun buns are loooooong term companions and should be adopted by folks that are ready for a companion that lives longer than you might think and needs lots o' lovin time. Remember that short term Easter Buns should only be made out of chocolate and marshmallow.
Adopt this wee one at Central Animal Services. [link]

Also make sure to check out our local House Rabbit Society! They have tons o' great info for the potential bunny family friends. [link] They also have lots o' cutey bun bun videos for a bunny viddy break. [link]

I met one other wee one at Central Animal Services that y'all should meet.

This ratoncito has unbelievably sweet niblet ears that you can whisper all your secrets into whilst perched on your shoulder. Adopt this wee one at Central Animal Services. [link]

And for more volunteer info...

San Diego Spay Neuter Action Project
An absolutely awesome group that definitely knows how to get the job done. They hold low cost mobile spay & neuter clinics all over town and have made a real difference in San Diego's pet overpopulation. So many future lives have been saved by this group already - they are a great team to add your volunteer time towards. They accept volunteers as young as 12 which is a great opportunity for altruistic youngsters and families that like to spend time together. Check out these links if you are interested in checking out what kind of assistance they can use...

Friends of Cats
This Shelter has been around for longer than many of us have been alive. The fantastic meowers that hang out here are great and their care takers are super too! As stated on their website - "Volunteers are the backbone of the Shelter and we are always seeking people to help with fundraising, publicity, painting and carpentry, grooming cats, and many other areas". They are located on Olde Hwy 80 in East El Cajon.

If you would like to help them out...
Call the shelter @ 619-561-0361 x102
or
Check out their volunteer [link]

you will be helping out kitties like...

Cleo - This miss american shorthair is supah pretty. She may need to have a quiet home to hang out in and no youngsters to pull at her tail n' stuff.
Adopt her at Friends of Cats. [link]

Times-R-Tuff

I know that times are tuff right now. Lots of folks are dealing with lots o' stuff. One of the things that people are dealing with is losing not only their homes but their pets as well. This is not an easy situation for anyone and can be beyond depressing.


I have noticed that one way to help beat the blues is to feel like you are an integral part of something positive. There are so many pets out there that can be helped by your inner volunteer. There are so many different ways to help.


During the next series of blog posts I am going to be listing local Pet Rescue and Shelter's volunteer needs and orientation days.

Just figuring that this is a big county and I know that it can be easier to dedicate time when you don't have to travel as far. There are opportunities all over town and maybe I can help point y'all to some of them.


But before we get to the volunteer selections of the day...

Let's pause to appreciate the smoochy twosome that is known as...

Big Guy & Big Girl - These two lovely kittys are obviously bonded buddies. Big Girl is missing a leg but gets around quite well. They are a wee bit shy at first but get to snuggling pretty quickly.
Adopt them at San Diego Humane Society. [link]

and now onto the volunteering opportunities...

If you have experience with HTML / Website creation & updating then the House Rabbit Society could use a hand with their new website. If you would like to lend a hand or find out more about what they need - contact Judith [email link]

North County Humane Society will be having a volunteer orientation on Sat. March 8th from 11am - 1pm. To register call the volunteer coordinator @ 760-757-4357 x1244 or go to [link]

Volunteering can be a very empowering experience and one that could help during a time when things might be falling apart.

In the words of Dodie Smith (the gal that wrote The Hundred and One Dalmatians)...

Noble deeds and hot baths are the best cures for depression.

Sweet Georgia on My Mind...

Georgia - This wee lassy is waaaaay beyond cute. Lil' missy cutie pie kept wigglin' up to me to say hello. She has some health issues but I think her peppy personality might be the cure to what ails you. If you would like to find out more about this lil' peach...
Adopt her at FCIA. [link]

I am sure that this wee chi will have her new owner singin' the song...

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

whassuuuuup!?!

Indiana - I love this big boy. I can not believe he has spent so many days at the shelter. He is a luv bug with cute barrel doggy buns. He is a big fan of the belly rubs and hangin' with his dog & people buddies.



He can be a bit o' da shy guy at first but warms to you quickly. He then gets right down to sharing the smile power.


He has been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism which allowed him to gain a bunch of weight. He is receiving daily medication and is doing well & losing weight.

You have got to go down to the San Diego Humane Society and check him out! [link]

Have You SEen Me?

***Update***
Duncan has been found! Yay!


Mr. Duncan is out and about.


He squiggled away while at the Vet's office and is on the loose.

He was last seen at Mission Gorge and Golfcrest Dr. by the Mission Trails Regional Park.

He might look a wee bit scary because someone cropped all of his ears off when he was a wee pup but he is very affectionate.

Here I am meeting him at a Pitbull Rescue event


The good folks at PitBull Rescue [link] are super worried about their frightened foster fuzzle. He is microchipped and can be unsure with other dogs.

If you see him please give them a call at 619-384-1167

All this Rain is Leading to...

Blossom!

Miss B. is ready to be the only Rose in your Flower Bed. She is a 4 year old Finnish Spitz mix that lurvs the long walks and has great house manners. I know that there is a fuzzle flower farmer out there awaiting this bloom. Thanks to Carol from FOCAS for the great pic.
Check Blossom out at FOCAS San Diego.[link]

Make sure to check out the Fuz Calendar [link] for all sorts of stuff coming up this weekend.

Some of it might get rained out but the SeaWorld Adoption Day should be going strong since they are holding it in the SeaWorld Adventure Camps Facility. My buddies from Chula Vista Animal Care will be there with there awesome adoptables and lots of other local groups!
Check it out! [link]

Rise and Shine

Puppy lovin's - I can't remember this wee pup's name (met him at the Muttropolis Jingle Mingle) but I do remember his winning personality and amazing sweet demeanor. He was part of the adoption options that came from Chula Vista Animal Care to the party. He was not adopted that night but one lucky person is gonna get him!
Adopt him at Chula Vista Animal Care.

Ok y'all it has been an embarrassing amount of time since the fuzzle has landed or lifted or laughed with. Let's just say things have been upside down and scrambled around. But the fuz does and will always go on!

so let's get to it.

I had to find an extra special kitteh to kick off the reentry of le fuz.

I think it's safe to say...



Mission Accomplished!

Jiminy - Meet your new muse. This 6 year old mr. meow loves to play and gets on well with other meowers around. He is also available for life study modeling for sessions that do not exceed a few minutes (you can work on your sketching speed).
Adopt him at FOCAS San Diego.

I am signing out for a momento but I will be updating the fuz calendar with all the latest and greatest adoption events in town.

rise and shine

it's fuzzle time.

SurfDog [or] Foamies n' Fuzzies

So I popped over to the Helen Woodward Animal Center Second Annual Surf Dog event last Sunday. [link]

Things have been kinda intense lately so surfing doggies was defo' on the list of things to help my hee haw!



Always a good time when you are laughing and have yer toes in the water.



Many of the pups were ready to rock it



some were checking the break...


Others were so laid back in their surfin' styles...


this bystander doggy looks like he is thinking - are you sure you know what yer doin' buddy?!


and then of course you have yer rock god o' da waves...


Buddy le surf pooch just knows how to handle the action.


and then he manages to get lovely ladies n' others to get him back out. (while he barks in enthusiasm the whole time) what a player!


his boogie board option is all chewy from his enthusiastic "get me out there" chompings!


but he does know how to share the fun...


Bandit got a ride in with Buddy but also rocked it on his own...


As did these awesome surf puppies...





The fuzzy surfers had a pretty good audience. I think there was almost twice as many people as last year! Seeing as this is only the second time the event has happened - I think next years gonna be huge!

Even though it was well attended people were having a pretty mellow time. It was great seeing folks really happy & totally enjoying the coast.

As always there were surf instructors for the newbies...

and helping hands from their humans...

There were wipeouts...



and wiggles...

and fun interspecies wave riding...


Defo' an event to get back to next year!
