***SAFE 07/21/15***PURRFECT PAIR OF GINGERBREAD MEN WITH GREAT BEHAVIOR RATINGS NEED YOU! Little Foot and Spike are a delicious duo of orange boys who desperately need you to advocate for their precious lives tonight. They sadly ended up at the shelter back on 7/1 with a couple more of their feline friends when their owner died. Of Little Foot, a volunteer writes, This mature boy is so sweet and lovable. He will look at you with his sweet eyes which you can’t help loving. He will come to greet you. Rub his head, he’ll purr for your love. Little Foot name’s does not fit him he is not little at all, he is a big ball of love, who is a real love muffin enjoying your company. He will roll on his side asking for you to spend some time with him. When you come to his cage you will find him snuggling in his cubby feeling nice and cozy. But then he will come to great you looking for attention. He will make a great companion snuggling up with you. So take a look at this great guy.” Spike is just as sweet and just as handsome—completely tolerant of all petting and handling. Little Foot is beginner rated and Spike has an awesome pawesome average rating. As everyone knows, gingerbread men are the sweetest and surely these two are no exception. They are 6 and 5 years old respectively which means that there is lots of love and affection left in them to bestow on their lucky new purrson. Could that special someone be you? If you can open up your heart and home to one or both of these beautiful boys, please reserve them online or contact a NH rescue for assistance with transportation (available if you live within a few hours of NYC). Let’s not allow these two purrfect & precious pets become sad ACC stats. Make the call for this purrffect pair of gingerbread men and be the change that you want to see in the world!
