Escondido Humane Society Pet of the Week

This week's Escondido Humane Society Pet of the Week is Seeley. Here's what he wants you to know about him:

Hi, I'm Seeley, a 1-year-old neutered male domestic longhair mix, ID # 42554. When I came to the Escondido Humane Society as a stray in October, my coat was matted and it was apparent that I hadn’t been taken care of. But after a lot of loving care from staff and volunteers, I am ready for a new, loving home. All of the volunteers here at the shelter adore me because of my loving and friendly nature. The first thing I do when I meet people is crawl into their laps, and I want nothing more than to be close to you. The volunteers can’t say enough about how sweet and affectionate I am, and they say my new family will be lucky to have me!

Don't forget that the Escondido Humane Society's Paws in the Park dog walk is from 8 a.m. to noon Sunday, March 28. The event may have gone to the dogs, but it will raise funding for ALL animals at the Escondido Humane Society, including me! Contact (760) 888-2235 for more information, or go to http://www.firstgiving.com/ehs to register today!

I am available for adoption at the Escondido Humane Society, 3450 E. Valley Parkway. My $110 adoption fee includes neuter, microchip, up-to-date vaccinations and wellness exam. For more information, call (760) 888-2247 or log on to http://www.escondidohumanesociety.org/. The Escondido Humane Society Adoption Center is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week.

The forgiving nature of dogs

Boss is one handsome boy who embodies the beautiful, forgiving nature of dogs. Boss endured cruel treatment at the hands of a human before being rescued by the Escondido Humane Society. But he doesn't appear to care about the left eye he once had ... life is fun again, and it's much better to just go out for walks and enjoy lots of attention. Boss is a work in progress: he is big, strong and enthusiastic, and he is learning how to walk nicely on a leash and sit for treats. He greets new human friends with joy, and he appears to be friendly toward other dogs, though he is still very excited when he sees them. A loving home with a cozy dog bed is just what the doctor ordered for our sweet Boss.

Come visit Boss and see for yourself what a great guy he is ... he may be just the pup you have been searching for, and this boy really deserves a better life. Meet him at the Escondido Humane Society, or call (760) 888-2275 and ask for Boss, ID # 45248.
