Meet Max!
I'm Max. You should get to know me as I am one neat guy. I'm a CC cat -- cool
and casual. I like to explore . . . check on everything in my surroundings. See
the picture of me in the sink? I wasn't there for a bath. (I'm actually a very
clean guy.) I just wanted to see if any of the wet food cans were open. You
probably have guessed by now that I'm an active fellow. I like other cats and
they like me; you will too!
Max is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.
Meet Charlie...a puppy mill dog ...
Finding “purpose” in one’s life is not always a clear journey. Many people have direction at a very early age and for some of us the path is winding. Eventually, and without a predetermined length of time, we all get to define our purpose individually. Imagine being assigned a “purpose” and having no control of your future. Worse yet, imagine an allocated number of days to perform mandated tasks and when your task is completed you no longer have a purpose. This is the definition of a puppy mill.
Moms and Dads are kept in cages, required to perform on demand, and must produce the most desirable size, color, and tempered pups for the purpose of monetary gains for the breeder. If puppies grow too old they are disposed of and if adult dogs are no longer productive in their breeding they too will loose their life. Most of these beautiful pets have never experienced freedom of any kind.
Recently, fourteen beautiful purebred dogs were rescued from an execution in the back of a barn. You see, they had outlived their usefulness. Ranging in ages from 4 ½ months to 4 years, these sweet dogs were now considered poor breeders and were scheduled to be destroyed. We believe these deserving dogs performed and met the demands of mankind and now want them to know the love, security, and compassion that humanity can offer them. Charlie will need kind & consistent training because he is a neglected boy and show signs of being insecure. With your patience and consistency, he will learn and become your next best friend - and the pet companion you've always wanted.
Containment is "key" - either on the end of a safely installed lead / leash or in a fenced yard - when rescuing a dog until trust and boundary training is established. Furthermore, dogs do not fare well when encountering a moving car. Keep in mind ... many dogs cannot ever be trusted off-lead. Do you have up to 15 years to share with a selfless dog? Do you understand the commitment? Can you provide a "forever home?" Do you have what it takes to be the best pet parent ever? If you can answer "yes" to these questions we can talk about a future for Charlie!
Charlie is up-to-date with routine shots and neutered.
Meet Julep
This girl has the most interesting markings. She’s a beautiful
white cat with calico-looking spots. Julep is interactive, has fun energy, and
is ready to play. She’s young and amusing and has a lot of living to do. Her
siblings, Jasmine and Julius, are looking for homes to call their own too.
Julep
is up-to-date with routine shots and is spayed.
Meet Trixie ... Humanity could learn
a lesson from watching her ...
Rescued from animal control, with an impending birth, sweet Trixie had 12
puppies in just a few days after her arrival. Not only did she let us help her
during the birthing process, but she showed how amazingly compassionate she was
to her babies. Separating them by color, she would nurse them in stages. As they
grew, she remained loving and tolerant of all the activity around her. When we
finally separated her from the babies, she was very sad.
This beautiful girl deserves to know what it is like to be loved and protected -
like she taught us with her own babies! Now through her quarantine period, she
is ready to experience love and security in the safe arms of a committed owner
and to meet her "forever home and family." Never to be orphaned again! Never to
give birth again! Now, it's her turn to be the center of one's attention!!!
She will need kind understanding and training because she has not been cared for
properly. With your patience and consistency, she will learn and become your
next best friend - and the pet companion you've always wanted. Containment is
"key" - either on the end of a safely installed lead / leash or in a fenced yard
- when rescuing a dog until trust and boundary training is established.
Furthermore, dogs do not fare well when encountering a moving car. Keep in mind
... many dogs cannot ever be trusted off-lead.
Do you have up to 15 years to share with a selfless dog? Do you understand the
commitment? Can you provide a "forever home?" Do you have what it takes to be
the best pet parent ever? If you can answer "yes" to these questions we can talk
about a future for Trixie!
Trixie is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained, micro-chipped and
spayed/neutered.
Meet Princess ... what a very sweet
girl ...
This "canine senior citizen" lived with a senior citizen that, sadly, passed
away. This left Princess orphaned. It was bad enough to loose the love and
companion of her life but to then end up in a shelter in her "golden days" is
unfathomable. This sweet girl hasn't any bad habits and desires a warm bed and a
loving owner to allow her to rest her head for the remaining time she has on
this earth. Upon assessment, Princess appears healthy and hasn't any known
medical issues. If you are a kind and compassionate pet parent looking for a
sweet and gentle "senior" to spend time with, then Princess will be your girl!
Princess is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and
spayed/neutered
Meet Kristy the Cat!
Could she be any more stunning? We don’t think so! And, she is sweet & social
too! This is one beautiful little lady! Kristy has markings unlike any we've
ever seen. This sweet girl is looking for a lap to cuddle up in. Might it be
yours? Now thru her quarantine period and having received all of her vetting,
Kristy is “good to go” into her new home and spend the rest of her days with her
“forever family.”
Kristy is up-to-date with routine shots and spayed/neutered.
Meet our "Shrinking Violet"
A shy cat can be the most rewarding pet. Each step in your relationship brings
new fulfillment as you slowly gain its trust. When you form a bond it is deep
and special. One of a Kind Pets has several shy souls including Violet - a
beautiful grey cat, longing for her forever home.
We rescued the very pregnant Violet at the pound. She gave birth to 4 kittens in
a foster’s bathroom and was a great mom. Violet nursed, bathed and watched over
her kittens as they grew strong and playful. When they reached 8 weeks old, she
relaxed and slowly approached the foster for affection. Shy cats are like that.
They need some time to adjust and to trust.
Although shy, Violet is not unsociable. She never hisses. She does not claw or
bite. She loves other pets and can often be found curled up and napping with one
of her furry friends. Violet is just wary of strangers. She sometimes hides or
huddles in a corner when approached. As a result, this sweet, loving cat is
often overlooked or ignored by adopting families.
It’s been two long years since Violet’s kittens found their homes. Violet still
waits behind. Isn’t two years long enough to wait?
Meet Ripley
Gotta love a terrier! What a cutie-pa-tootie!!!
And, tiny too! I'd guess this little guy weighs somewhere around 15 pounds. This
guy is fun and funny! Terriers are often entertaining and energetic. Spontaneous
and unpredictable. The always think they are bigger than what they really are
and this is reason to offer them EXTRA protection and care. Now through his
quarantine period, he is ready for his "forever home and family." He will need
kind & consistent training because no one has ever worked with him. Due to
residing in a shelter and enduring an extended period of stress, house training
will need to be reinforced and offered on a regular basis. This is a usual
exercise for all rescued animals. With your patience and consistency, he will
learn what you want of him and become your next best friend! Containment is
"key" - either on the end of a safely installed lead / leash or in a fenced yard
- when rescuing a dog until trust and boundary training is established. After
all, many of these guys have been living on the land and may hit the road to
pursue the only home they've known. Even if they are not wanted anymore. Do you
have 15 years to share with a selfless dog? Do you understand the commitment? Do
you have what it takes to be the best pet parent ever? If you can answer "yes"
to these questions we can talk about Riley's future.
Ripley is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.
Meet Lance (black, white,
tan) pictured with his sister Leah!
These 2 are siblings and they love each other! These Jack – Russell and Yorkie
mix-breed dogs are 5 months old and beyond cute – and ornery! They DO NOT have
to go home together – in fact Leah just went to her “forever home.” I witnesses
Leah licking around Lance's mouth after breakfast the other day. It was beyond
cute. Leave it to the female to keep the male clean and tidy for a potential
adoption!
Containment is "key" with all dogs until boundary training has been performed,
trust is established, and they feel secure in their next home. We recommend a
fenced yard or a safe and secure leash for brief tie-out sessions. As you are
aware, these small-breed dogs do not fare well when encountering a moving
vehicle. Proactive safe guards are crucial to keeping your pet safe and healthy.
If you are a committed pet parent and want to be part of the development of a
great dog that now has the opportunity to thrive, come to meet these 2 precious
pups. Do you have up to 15 years to commit? Can you provide a "forever home?" Do
you understand what it takes to be a responsible pet owner? If so, one - or both
of these pups may be your next best friend! Lance & Leah are up-to-date with
routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered. We thank all of you for your
continued support and for caring --- we care deeply too.
Lance is up-to-date with routine shots and is neutered.
Meet Contessa!
Don't let her camera shyness demeanor fool you! Yes, she can be shy but she likes people too. A stunning beauty, this long-haired calico is quite the attraction. Because of the census in animal control, Contessa was scheduled for a harsh fate. She was rescued from the pound prior to euthanasia. Now, at approximately 3 years old, Contessa’s life will begin and she has a lot of living to do! Might it be with you?
Contessa is up-to-date with routine shots and spayed.
Meet Kayle!
A casualty of our economics, and
surrendered by her owner, this sweet
little dog deserves more!!! This girl is
a "LOVE" and enjoys the safety and
security of your arms. Confused by her
surroundings and the loud shelter, Kayle
wants to go home - never to be orphaned
again!
Kayle is in the 25% of purebred dogs
that end up in shelters. Because of her
size and her designer breed, we believe
Kayle will be in demand. That said, we
are not interested in placing Kayle with
an adopter unless it is the most
appropriate home for her and the owner
is a committed pet parent!
Containment is "key" with all dogs until
boundary training has been performed,
trust is established, and they feel
secure in their next home. We recommend
a fenced yard or a safe and secure leash
for brief tie-out sessions. As you are
aware, these small-breed dogs do not
fare well when encountering a moving
vehicle. Proactive safe guards are
crucial to keeping your pet safe and
healthy.
If you are a committed pet parent and
want to be part of the development of a
great dog that now has the opportunity
to thrive, come to meet Kayle. Do you
have up to 15 years to commit? Can you
provide a "forever home?" Do you
understand what it takes to be a
responsible pet owner? If so, Kayle may
be your next best friend! Kayle is
up-to-date with routine shots, house
trained and spayed. We thank all of you
for your continued support and for
caring --- we care deeply too.
Meet Mona!
There is nothing “tense” about
this girl. Laid back and just content to
be in your presence, Mona is the perfect
girl for any cat lover! This laid back
young lady enjoys being a lap cat but
will do fine if required to be
independent. Rescued from the pound
prior to euthanasia, Mona is ready for a
home of her own and the love and
kindness of a new owner. She has 1
stipulation … she wants her new owner to
be committed to protecting her for the
rest of her life!
Mona is up-to-date with routine shots
and spayed.
Meet Chubs!
With a name like Chubbs, you'd think
this guy might be on the chunky side ...
well, the opposite is true ... he's
skinny!!! Someone thought this was a
funny name for this little guy so keep
in mind ... you can change his name!
What a good boy this little dog is! We
love him and you will too. He enjoys
being held and cuddled and yet he is as
ornery as any Jack Russell should be.
This full-grown guy (approximately 17
pounds) is ready to go home and
experience the love and security of a
committed family. Now through his
quarantine period, he is ready for his
"forever home and family." He will need
kind & consistent training because his
history is unknown. With your patience
and consistency, he will learn and
become your next best friend.
Containment is "key" - either on the end
of a safely installed lead / leash or in
a fenced yard - when rescuing a dog
until trust and boundary training is

ever? If you can answer "yes" to these
questions we can talk about Chubb's
future.
Chubbs is up-to-date with routine shots
and spayed/neutered.
Meet Annabelle!
My name is Annabelle. Ans though that's
kind of an old-fashioned name, I’m not
an old fashioned girl! You could
call me a traditional cat that’s OK with
me! I let out a low, throaty purr
when you pet me – which by the way, I
like petting very much! Doesn’t
everybody? I have a squeaky meow
which I use to express my satisfaction
with being stroked. My favorite place is
next to my people. My photographer
had a hard time getting my pictures
because I followed him around very
closely. I like other cats too so
a “multiple cat” home works for me!
I love to play -- especially when I get
to chase the laser dot. Would you like
to be my play pal?
Annabelle is up-to-date with routine
shots, house trained and spayed.
Meet Boo!
Boo is my name -- but I'm not scary or
at all difficult. I like people and
other cats and just about everything!
I'm a quiet girl and I can entertain
myself when you're not available. My
white coat is nice and thick, with
interesting black markings. My tail is
all black with a tiny white spot at the
very tip. Oh … and have you noticed my
YELLOW eyes? They are BEEEUTIFUL I’m
told!
I bet I would fit right into your home.
What’s your thought on this plan?
Boo is up-to-date with routine shots,
house trained and neutered.
Meet Homer!
Meet Homer. This beautiful purebred beagle doesn't deserve this! He has found himself residing in a shelter at approximately 6 years of age. Dog years pass so quickly. It is sad to think that 1/3 to 1/2 of his life may be over and he hasn't the security of a loving and secure home of his own.
For those of us who enjoy the beagle breed (and I do!), he is a sweet, sweet boy! He loves to cuddle and yet he still enjoys some excitement. He loves all people he comes into contact with!!! We don't believe he has any bad habits and we think that he will acclimate quickly into a kind and caring home.
We are unsure as to whether he's been kept outside or not, so house training MAY need to be reestablished. Now through his puppy & adolescent stage, Homer is looking to have an adult relationship with a new owner. Could that be you? Do you have what it will take to give Homer the home he may have never known? Do you know what it takes to be a responsible pet owner? Are you committed to the process? Will rescuing an animal bring you personal fulfillment? If you've answered yes to all of the above ... then come on down to meet Homer!
Homer is up-to-date with routine shots and neutered.
Meet Harriett!
Harriett was rescued by a good Samaritan but was in very poor condition. The kind person assumed responsibility for Harriett and worked diligently to get her well. After Harriett's condition improved, OOAKPR was contacted and asked to assume responsibility for her care and to pursue an appropriate home.
Though, she had improved health, Harriett still required the standard vetting administered to all rescued animals and was spayed. Today this ADORABLE girl is happy and healthy and awaiting her "for real" forever home. She is housetrained, well mannered, healthy, and a real pleaser!
Are you a committed pet parent? Can you commit to up to 15 years? Is your lifestyle appropriate for such a selfless creature? If you can answer "yes" to these questions, then Harriett may be your girl! Come to see her ... you won't be leaving without her!
Harriett is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.
Meet Haylee!
Some folks think I look like a Maine Coon Cat. I think I look more like a miniature lioness. I'm kind of a laid back girl. I just like to hang out . . . stretch out on the floor . . . and, sometimes, play with other cats. When my cage mate Heidi is out, I like to run and jump and play chase. So, maybe the two of us will be going home together??? You never know … a girls gotta have dreams!
P.S. I think I will be a super companion and If you ever find out what's in that bag, let me know.
Haylee is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.
Meet Cookie!
I'm Cookie . . . . and I'm scared. I really do want to be friendly. When you come to the door of my condo, I'll sniff your hand and let you scratch me with your finger. But when you open the door, I often retreat to my balcony. I’m trying to get some confidence so when folks here go real slow, I do let them touch me a little bit. So by all standards, I'm making progress. I have a cute "smooshed" face and nice, thick long hair. I need to be the only cat of a patient owner. If you can give me some time to adjust, I will be a great companion. Trust me … it’s my dream!
Meet Madea!
This sweet, good-looking, and immaculate little girl found herself pregnant and lying in an animal control facility awaiting her impending birth. Fearful and showing signs of fear-aggression, she was rescued by OOAKPR and immediately taken to a foster home where she could rest comfortably and decompress. Within a few days, she gave birth to beautiful puppies and became a mother.
Now, with her puppies weaned (nearly 2 months ago), it's her turn to know the safety and security of a loving home and an understanding family. She picks her "canine" friends wisely and does not like all dogs.
Shiba Inu dogs have a high-prey personality, so cats will not be an option. She needs an owner that will introduce her to new people and other canines slowly and socialize her as much as possible. Initially, one year old Madea had shown some signs of being fearful of men. This behavior continues to improve. We don't know what she previously experienced, but we do know her future will be better than her past!
Containment - either in a fenced yard or on the end of a safe leash - is a must with the Siba-Inu breed. And, after all, many rescued pets have lived on the land and do not realize that this next stop is their last and there is no need to hit the road in search of food, shelter, or the home that didn’t want them anymore.
All of our rescued animals are current on their vaccines, have been spayed/neutered, been dewormed 2-3 times, tested and treated for any illnesses, and are micro-chipped.
Are you a committed pet parent? Do you have what it takes to nurture a pet that has only known an unfortunate existence? Do you have up to 15 years? If you have what it takes to be responsible for a pet, we may have the perfect companion for you. Come to see the pets awaiting their "forever home." They're worth it - we promise!
Meet Lily!
My name is Lilly. I'm just a young girl
but I've already seen "a lot" of life. I
was discovered living in a car with my three
kittens. I was really too young to be a
mom; but, with some help, all my babies
survived. It might be best if I'm your only
cat. However, I'm rapidly gaining social
skills; so, who knows? I think I have lots
of potential. I like to wander -- but if
you want to pet me -- that's fine too. My
caregivers think I'm a very pretty girl.
Lily is up-to-date with routine
shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.
Meet Junior!
I love this guy! Junior’s energy is wonderful
and he is as ornery as they come. It doesn't
hurt that he is so good-looking either.
Weighing in at approximately 28
- 30 pounds, Junior is on the small side.
He is a casualty from the Heaven Can Wait
house and is now - after too many months
- available for adoption. Now through his
quarantine period, he is ready for his "forever
home and family." He will need kind & consistent
training because no one has ever worked
with him. With your patience and consistency,
he will learn and become your next best
friend. Containment is "key" - either on
the end of a safely installed lead / leash
or in a fenced yard - when rescuing a dog
until trust and boundary training is established.
After all, many of these guys have been
living on the land and may hit the road
to pursue the only home they've known. Even
if they are not wanted anymore. Do you have
15 years to share with a selfless dog? Do
you understand the commitment? Do you have
what it takes to be the best pet parent
ever? If you can answer "yes" to these questions
we can talk about Junior's future.
Junior is up-to-date with routine shots,
house trained and spayed/neutered.
My name is Miranda...
which means wonderful and admirable.
In my case, it also means purr machine.
I am a very affectionate cat. When you open
my door, I'm all over you with hugs, kisses
and a musical purr. I love everybody --
other cats included. My personal photographer
took lots of pictures but thinks I'm prettier
than any of them. I am a very clean cat
and have fur as soft as down. If you come
to see me, you won't be able to go home
without me.
Miranda is up-to-date
with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.
Sasha!
Poor Sasha ... such a "love" yet
surrendered to animal control - for no fault
of her own. It is hard to believe that this
tiny girl has had to endure life in a cold
shelter and nearly face euthanasia. Now
thru her vetting and quarantine period,
Sasha is ready to go home. She is a true
love bug, an though she gets excited, her
favorite place will be with you. And your
lap will, no-doubt, offer her great security.
We love this little girl and you will too!
She appears to love humans of all kinds
and other dogs too. Check out her hair ---
she is silver in color! Are you a committed
pet parent? Do you have up to 15 years to
share with a selfless animal? If you have
what it takes, then Sasha may be going home
with you. Make an appointment to come down
to meet her. She's worth the trip. Note:
She is not residing at the adoption center
so an appointment is mandatory.
Sasha is up-to-date with routine shots,
house trained and spayed/neutered.
Meet Our Cat
Hope!
Hope is my name.
I'm hoping to find an owner who knows black
is beautiful. Actually dogs have owners
and cats have staff -- but we can sort all
that out after you take me home. I'm kind
of a curious cat. I like to poke around,
here and there, but I usually interrupt
my meandering to check back in for a few
strokes. And, I like to talk while you pet
me.
Hope is up-to-date with routine
shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.
Meet Marshall!
Marshall was recovered from a puppy
mill where he and the other dogs had out-lived
their usefulness! And, surprisingly, these
furry guys are very social. None of them
knew how to walk on a leash, nor were they
housebroken. Now, after over 3 weeks in
quarantine and receiving their vetting,
all of these dogs understand potty breaks,
enjoy walking on a leash, and are ready
for their forever home. Let's give these
guys a chance and allow them to know the
true love of humanity and a secure home!
A home that will care for them for the rest
of their days, allow them to exercise and
stretch their legs - and their minds. If
you are a committed pet parent and understand
the responsibility of pet ownership, call
to make an appointment to meet these guys.
Presently, they are not at our adoption
center but are residing in another location.
Marshal is up-to-date with routine
shots and spayed/neutered.
Meet Our Dog!
These dogs are soooooooooooo precious
and were recovered from a puppy mill where
they had out-lived their usefulness! And,
surprisingly, these furry guys are very
social.
None of them knew how to
walk on a leash, nor were they housebroken.
Now, after over 3 weeks in quarantine and
receiving their vetting, all of these dogs
understand potty breaks, enjoy walking on
a leash, and are ready for their forever
home.
Let's give these guys a chance
and allow them to know the true love of

If
you are a committed pet parent and understand
the responsibility of pet ownership, call
to make an appointment to meet these guys.
Presently, they are not at our adoption
center but are residing in another location.
Meet Destiny!
Hi, my name is Destiny. I'm looking
for someone who is looking for me! If you
come to the Adoption Center to meet me,
I can be a little shy at first. But, once
I get to know you, then I'll be your buddy.
I'm perfectly content to nap and amuse myself
while you're at work; and when you're home,
I would love to hear how your day was and
spend some time with you. We can watch television
or curl up and read a good book. I'm excellent
company, but not high maintenance! Please
come and meet at One of a Kind Pets!
Meet Panther!
Hi my name is Panther and I am one
cool customer. I was rescued from an animal
control facility. I consider it an important
duty to monitor the activities of the house,
although I won't participate very often.
I like having my own space. You people are
fun to watch, but I'm ok with that happening
from a distance right now. Once we get to
know each other, we can spend some quality
time together, I enjoy a little rub behind
the ears every once in a while. Head scratching
too, when I think the time is right. If
you are looking for a "classic cat" who
decides when and how often we'll interact,
then I'm the man for the job. Please come
and see me at One of a Kind Pets.
Meet Lonestar!
You've heard the 3rd time is the
charm ... well, 3 was the charm when it
came to Lonestar. You see ... Lonestar was
brought into the shelter 3 different times
by 3 different people. Each time, he'd been
found wandering the streets in a highly
congested business district. Apparently,
when we told the good samaritan's that we
hadn't any space for him they returned him
to the streets. We knew that we were meant
to save this boy upon the 3rd request! Based
on his size, he wouldn't fair well if he
had encountered a moving car. He is a good
boy and shows signs of being a "once cared
for" house pet. He wants to please and travels
well in a car. We believe he likes children
(or may had been around children at one
time) because he lights up when they come
into the shelter. That said, he is showing
minimal signs of fear because of all that
he has endured as of late. He is coming
out of this rapidly due to the socialization
we are exposing him to - BUT HE NEEDS YOU
-- NOW!!! Now through his quarantine period,
he is ready for his "forever home and family."
He will need kind & consistent training
because he will need to know what you expect
of him and it doesn't come automatically.
With your patience and consistency, he will
learn and become your next best friend.
Containment is "key" - either on the end
of a safely installed lead / leash or in
a fenced yard - when rescuing a dog until
trust and boundary training is established.
After all, many of these guys have been
living on the land and may hit the road
to pursue the only home they've known. Even
if they are not wanted anymore. Do you have
15 years to share with a selfless dog? Do
you understand the commitment? Do you have
what it takes to be the best pet parent
ever? If you can answer "yes" to these questions
we can talk about Lonestar's future.
Lonestar is up-to-date with routine
shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

Now:
Meet Scruffy!
True To Our Mission … With a mission
of rescuing animals from imminent danger
of euthanasia one might think that our job
is predictable and routine. But is it? When
unexpected disease is uncovered, our responsibility
is extended and we must now do all that
we can to make an orphaned pet healthy &
whole. What might that entail? Well, let
us introduce you to Scruffy …
This
tiny girl is one of the lucky dogs rescued
from Georgia. With no hair, a ruptured eye,
a persistent cough, signs of emaciation,
flea infestation, heartworm positive, and
extreme weakness, we learned that her health
was not 100%, but just how much worse could
it get?
In an effort to upgrade
her physical condition and prepare her for
necessary medical treatment she began antibiotic
therapy and her new diet consisted of high-quality
nutrition. Within a few weeks, Scruffy was
gaining weight and showing signs of improvement.
Upon a check-up, Dr. Geldhof diagnosed a
significant heart murmur that did not exist
just weeks before. Additional testing confirmed
Dr. Geldhof’s suspicion. The heartworm disease
was rapidly advancing. Now what?
After consulting with Dr. Agnieszka
Kent, a veterinary cardiologist at Ohio
State Veterinary Hospital, the decision
was made to perform a risky surgery which
required access to Scruffy’s tiny walnut
size heart through her jugular vein. Utilizing
a hook technique, fifteen worms were removed
from the heart muscle that measured 24 inches
in length. Cabled in and around the valves
of the heart, Scruffy’s tiny heart was being
strangled. Though the goal was to remove
all of the heartworms, nearly half of them
were located in the pulmonary arteries and
were not accessible. If Scruffy survived
the recuperation period she would still
have to endure heartworm treatment at a
later date.
Within a few weeks,
and miraculously, Scruffy’s improved health
meant we were ready to begin heartworm treatment.
Returning to Ohio State, treatment was administered.
We were told that the second week after
treatment was the most critical period of
time for complications - and it proved to
be true. Despite the perfect measures taken,
Scruffy became critically ill in her second
week and was listed in guarded condition.
Over the next few days we all held our breath
as we received routine updates from Dr.
Kent. Then we got the call … “Scruffy is
stable and can return to Akron!”
Her best life is ahead of her now and
to know the love and security of a home
is our wish for her. Our responsibility
is not over when pets are rescued, nor is
it predictable or routine, but concludes
when they are healthy and adopted into their
“forever home.”
We express our heartfelt
gratitude to foster mom, Sherrie Cutlip,
for her dedication and compassion. If you
are interested in adopting Scruffy please
contact the adoption center. An appointment
will be necessary. In support of necessary
medical interventions, donations can be
made to Clancy’s Critical Care Fund.
Meet Brianna!
Check out Brianna’s yellow eyes!
This sweet adult cat is doing time here
at the adoption center and longs for a content
feeling in a “forever home.” Brianna is
interactive; however, calms down nicely.
Having a family to greet when they came
home from their busy would be a dream come
true for her. She’d prefer being an only
cat because she has experienced enough confusion
for a lifetime while residing at the shelter.
Please bring Brianna’s shelter life to an
end and let her experience the love of a
family and home.
Brianna is up-to-date
with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.
Meet Our Tiny
Star!
People often wish
that their newly adopted kitten would stay
small and cuddly forever but we need to
be careful of what we wish for. When little
Star came in with her brothers and sisters
to be spayed and neutered, Dr. Meg Geldhof
was concerned.
Already at 12 weeks
old, Star still had all of her baby teeth.
She was less than a third of the size of
her siblings and far less active. How could
this tiny kitten be from the same litter?
Dr. Meg had never seen anything like
this before. Extensive research and a simple
blood test led her to a diagnosis. Our tiny
Star suffered from hypothyroidism, commonly
known as dwarfism. This condition is extremely
rare in kittens and usually fatal. But this
was a lucky Star.
Dr. Meg caught
this condition early and immediately began
a daily thyroid supplement. Star responded
slowly, but she gradually showed signs of
development. A year later, Star has grown
to become a five and a half pound adult
and is expected to live a full and normal
life span. She is playful, sweet and loves
to play with kids, adults, other cats and
even dogs. Star also loves to purr.
Star’s mother and siblings found their
forever homes many months ago. Star still
waits for hers. All she needs is love, commitment
- and the help of her daily thyroid supplement
(approximate cost of $15.00 per month).
Meet Red!
This little dog will be the most
fun ever! Who doesn't love an ornery little
dog? He looks exactly like a dwarfed Chow
- weighing it at around 23 pounds and full
grown! He's adorable and smart and has a
strong will.
Now, he picks his friends
in the shelter wisely; however, once in
a home, he may be less selective. "Trust"
doesn't come automatic for this little guy
- but he's been through a lot!!! We rescued
him less than 12 hours from being euthanized.
Small dogs bond quickly and look to us for
security. After all, that's why most small
dogs become lap dogs ... that is where they
feel the safest!
Now through
his quarantine period, he is ready for his
"forever home and family." He will need
kind & consistent training because no one
has ever worked with him. With your patience
and consistency, he will learn and become
your next best friend. Containment is "key"
- either on the end of a safely installed
lead / leash or in a fenced yard - when
rescuing a dog until trust and boundary
training is established. After all, many
of these guys have been living on the land
and may hit the road to pursue the only
home they've known. Even if they are not
wanted anymore.
Do you have 15 years
to share with a selfless dog? Do you understand
the commitment? Do you have what it takes
to be the best pet parent ever? If you can
answer "yes" to these questions we can talk
about Red's future.
Red is up-to-date
with routine shots and spayed/neutered.
Meet Dice!
Hi, I'm Dice. Can we make a deal?
Here's how I see it---you have a home, and
I need a home! Sounds like a match to me.
Don't get me wrong, the nice people here
at One of a Kind Pet Rescue are great, but
I really hope to have a place of my own
soon. I like to play with toys, but I can
also enjoy an afternoon of sun-bathing.
Is there room in your house for me? I don't
need a lot of space, but I can fill up a
heart awfully fast. Why not come and meet
me?
Dicey is up-to-date with routine
shots, de-clawed, house
trained and spayed/neutered.
Meet Mandy!
Hello, I'm Mandy! I'm a young cat
who enjoys good conversation. When you're
petting me, chances are good that I'll just
“purr away” like a motor boat. Once we’re
living together, I'll probably answer your
questions with a chirp because that’s my
preferred language. I enjoy chasing toy
mice and just about any kind of toy! The
truth is I enjoy being the center of attention.
I’ll vie for your attention and your companies.
It doesn’t matter … I’ll perform for all
of you. Take a good look at my picture …
I am a petite girl looking for committed
“pet parents.” Might that be you? Come to
meet me!
Mandy is up-to-date with
routine shots and spayed/neutered.
Meet Romeo and
Juliet!
Romeo & Juliet
(gray Tabby cats) were adopted two years
ago by a couple who fell in love and just
had to have these two kittens. Recently,
their daughter brought home a stray cat.
Within short time, the stray became pregnant
and had multiple kittens. The family decided
to keep the stray, as well as one of her
kittens. Now, with four cats in the home
(mom, kitten, Romeo, & Juliet), the family
has decided that Romeo & Juliet must go!
They have decided there are just too many
animals now. Unfortunately, they made a
decision to give up their feline family
members of over 2 years and these precious
cats are now residing in a shelter. In this
case, seniority didn’t count. This situation
could have been avoided had the stray been
spayed. This is why all rescued animals
are spayed or neutered in an effort to end
the cycle of unwanted births and throw-away
animals. Did Romeo & Juliet deserve this?
We think not and our hope is that they will
find their "forever home" together once
again. Special Adoption Fee: Both cats can
be adopted for $60.00 TOGETHER!
ROMEO & JULIET are up-to-date with routine
shots and spayed/neutered
Meet Cora!
My name is Cora. I am a Tabby cat
(with amazing yellow eyes) and, if you love
petite female felines, I’m your girl! I’d
enjoy assisting you with whatever it is
you have planned for the day. I'll be happy
to bat the pen if you're writing something,
or even help you at the computer. In fact,
I love the keyboard! And if you want to
curl up and read a book, I excel at curling
up with people. Like all good helpers, I
am quiet -- unless you promote “play.” Pull
out a feather toy and then it is “game on!”
Won't you please drop by and meet me at
One of a Kind Pets? There are a lot of us
to choose from so look hard for me when
you enter … I may be taking a nap.
Cora is up-to-date with routine shots,
house trained and spayed/neutered
Meet Candy!
Hi, my name is Candy and I want
to spend some time with you. If you are
reading the newspaper, I'll help you turn
the page. If you are making the bed, I'll
be right there between the sheets, helping
you smooth everything out. I am very vocal
and like to communicate with you. I am about
a year old and just the cutest little cat!
Come and meet me and we can talk things
over. See you soon!
Candy is up-to-date
with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.
Meet Madea!
It's Madea's turn ... This
sweet little girl found herself pregnant
and lying in an animal control facility
awaiting her impending birth. Fearful and
showing signs of fear-aggression, she was
rescued by OOAKPR and immediately taken
to a foster home where she could rest comfortably
and decompress. Within a few days, she gave
birth to beautiful puppies and became a
mother. Now, with her puppies weaned, it's
her turn to know the safety and security
of a loving home and understanding family.
She picks her "canine" friends wisely and
does not like all dogs. Shiba Inu dogs have
a high-prey personality, so cats will not
be an option. She needs an owner that will
introduce her to new people slowly and socialize
her - with care & caution - as much as possible.
On occasion, one year old Madea has shown
some signs of being fearful of men. We don't
know what she previously experienced, but
we do know her future will be better than
her past! Containment - either in a fenced
yard or on the end of a safe leash - is
a must. After all, many rescued pets have
lived on the land and do not realize that
this next stop is their last and there is
no need to hit the road in search of food
or shelter. All of our rescued animals are
current on their vaccines, have been spayed/neutered,
been de-wormed 2-3 times, tested and treated
for any illnesses, and are micro-chipped.
Are you a committed pet parent? Do you have
what it takes to nurture a pet that has
only known an unfortunate existence? Do
you have up to 15 years? If you have what
it takes to be responsible for a pet, we
may have the perfect companion for you.
Come to see the pets awaiting their "forever
home." They're worth it - we promise!
Madea is up-to-date with routine
shots and spayed/neutered.
Meet Jolie!...
and her next home MUST be her last! Surrendered
to the shelter twice - thru no fault of
hers -this little gal is confused. In both
situations, the families could not keep
her due to economic reasons. She is a pleasant
girl and gets along with everyone at the
shelter - dogs & cats. This poor girl is
use to a house and a couch - not a noisy
and hectic shelter - and she wants to go
home! Containment is "key" with all rescued
dogs until they are secure and understand
boundaries - which may take some time. Do
you understand the responsibility when owning
a pet? Do you have up to 15 years? If you
are a committed pet parent and want to be
part of the development of a great dog that
has been living an unfortunate life but
now has the opportunity to thrive, come
to meet Jolie. We thank all of you for your
continued support and for caring --- we
care deeply too.
Meet Tink!
Hi, I'm Tink! I'm here, at One of
a Kind Pet Rescue, waiting for my forever
home. And I hope that home is a busy, active,
fun-filled, engaging, full-speed-ahead,
kind of place. I love to play and interact
- and then play some more! I can also be
pretty talkative. I like other cats, but
I don't know very many dogs, so I'm a little
unsure of them. My favorite thing is people
- I enjoy them the most!! Do you have room
for me in your house? Are you looking for
entertainment? If so, I am a great act!!!
Let's get together -- I will patiently await
your visit.
Tink is up-to-date with
routine shots and spayed/neutered.
Meet Inky!
Hi, I'm Inky. And, I'm a large adult
male cat. I'm a big believer in the saying,
"better safe than sorry". I like to check
things out before I really get involved.
I like people, really, I do. But, it may
take me a while to warm up. A lot of people
come to One of a Kind Pets and don't even
notice me because I prefer to stay in the
background and watch the action. But, between
you and me, I really want to go home. Once
I'm comfortable, my favorite place will
be on my own person's lap enjoying a nice
head scratch! Come to meet me - I'm worth
it - honest!
Inky is up-to-date
with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.
Meet Marie!
Hello, my name is Marie. And whatever
it is that you are doing, I can help! I
may be a quiet cat, but that doesn't mean
that I'm not on the job. One of my favorite
chores is laundry....I love making sure
all the clothes are nice and warm when they
come out of the dryer! I am also very good
at making sure the feather duster is doing
its job -- I promise to chase it until we're
both satisfied that all the dust is gone.
I have a curious nature and can't wait until
I can investigate your house. Please come
and meet at the One of a Kind Pets adoption
center. I am current on my vaccines, spayed,
and micro-chipped.
Meet Kia!
Hi my name is Kia and I am about 3 years
old. If you observe me at the Adoption Center,
I'm kind of quiet. But that's because there's
an awful lot of activity! If you spend some
time one-on-one with me, you'll discover
that I am quite a friendly and outgoing
cat. I love to chase a feather -
or any toy, and I really enjoy being petted.
I just need to be comfortable before I show
my sweet side. Once we're friends, I'll
be by your side constantly and will be checking
out what you're doing. Please come out to
meet me? I'm really cute! I'll be here at
One of a Kind Pets, waiting.
Kia is up-to-date with routine shots,
house trained and spayed/neutered.
Meet Dolly!
Dolly is a Doll! She is a Shitzu between
3 - 4 years of age and was rescued from
animal control. She has spent time in a
foster home and did very well. She is good
with other dogs and has lived with cats;
however, she doesn't like to share her food
or her bed with another dog (or cat)
- she considers those two things to
be her personal possessions. She loves adults
and children and really doesn't exhibit
any bad habits. This little girl deserves
the love and security of a "forever
home. Might that home be yours? Do you have
up to 15 years to commit to an animal that
needs you? If so, Dolly may be your next
constant companion!
Meet Natasha!
Hello, I'm Natasha. I'm looking for
a home to call my own; do you want to share
yours with me? I may be a little quiet at
first, but I sure do like people. I think
it's great to spend time together playing
with a feather, or watching some television.
But, I'm not one of those silly cats that
curiosity is going to get the best of, no
sir, not me. And when you have company over,
I'll be sure to keep an eye on them from
a distance. What I'm really looking for
is a quiet home where you and I can get
know each other and become friends. I'll
be at One of a Kind Pet Rescue, waiting.
Meet Janine!
Hi, I'm Janine. I can't wait to go home
with you and I will be the biggest help
to you. Help you do what? Well, whatever
needs doing! I'd love to help you wash the
windows, I'm great at checking for streaks.
I'm also very talented when it comes to
pushing down the keys on the computer keyboard-
I'll be right along side of you! Best yet,
I am an excellent lap-warmer. In fact that
is my favorite job. Come down to One of
a Kind Pet Rescue as quickly as you can
- the sooner we meet, the sooner we can
get started on our life together!
Meet Maxwell!
As you can see, Maxwell loves everyone
and is easy going and fun loving. He's quite
the playful cat! Check out his picture -
he is grooming his buddy "Jason" as the
lay together in a bed basket. Maxwell is
one of the favorite teenage kittens at the
adoption center and he will just melt into
your arms. He is dog and cat social and
he's ready for his forever home! ...Are
you ready for Maxwell?
Maxwell is
up-to-date with routine shots, house trained
and spayed/neutered.
Meet Julia!
Are you looking for a cat that's black
and white, and silly and fun, and just an
all-around good-natured buddy? That's me!
I like people (big or small), other cats,
and dogs. In fact, I like just about everything.
I can stay really busy chasing toys and
just about everything else. If you let me
play with the ring that was around your
milk jug, that will suffice in place of
toys. You see ... I am easy to please and
low maintenance. I could amuse myself for
hours! What are you waiting for? Because
I'm here, at One of a Kind Pets, waiting
for you!
Julia is up-to-date with
routine shots, house trained, and spayed/neutered.
Meet Lorna!
Hello, I'm Lorna and I'm looking for
a home. My goal is to fit in with your life.
I enjoy spending time with people, and especially
like being petted. I'm quite talkative once
I get to know you, and will be happy to
spend time with you. When you're not around,
though, I can pretty easily amuse myself.
I believe I'm just the right mix--I'll be
there when you want me, but I'm not one
of those "needy" types. Why not come to
meet me? You won't be disappointed!
Lorna is up-to-date with routine shots,
house trained and spayed/neutered.
Meet Amelia!
This sweet and quiet cat enjoys spending
time with people, but it is ok with her
to be alone for a while too. She appreciates
an afternoon peering out the window and
soaking up the sun while everyone goes about
their day around her. If you choose to engage
Amelia, that's fine too --- she goes with
the flow. She enjoys playing with cat toys
or just keeping each other company in a
calm environment. Showing you her contentment,
she'll purr loudly when petted. This little
cat hasn't any issues and will do great
in any home. Come down to meet her --- she's
worth the trip!
Meet Tula!
Pssssst...over here......in the corner.....it's
me, Tula. If you come to One of a Kind Pets,
that's where you'll find me. There's just
an awful lot of activity here....lots of
other cats and there's dogs, and then those
smelly puppies....don't get me started.
I would really enjoy moving into a nice,
quiet home. I may be a little shy, but once
we get to know each other, I'm sure we'll
be good buddies. I really enjoy a good head
scratch, and toy mice are quite fun to chase.
And, please don't tell anyone, but I love
to curl up in a warm lap. I just need time
to get to know you. Why not give me a chance?
Tula is up-to-date with routine
shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.
Meet Chondra!
Hi, my name is Chondra and I am FIV+.
What does that mean? Well, I have the kitty
version of HIV. Don't let that scare you
- I can't transmit it to you or to your
dog. The vets suggest that I be in a home
where I am the only kitty or live with other
FIV cats. You see, I got it from another
kitty sometime ago. He bit me and that was
all that it took. And, I have to tell you,
I'm a lover, not a fighter. I currently
reside at the clinic with two other kitty
friends, Shylo and Sammy, and we never fight.
The doc says FIV+ cats live over ten years.
So that would be a pretty normal life! For
those of you who are not aware, there is
a vaccine available for cats that is about
85% effective. If your kitty mixes with
others, it is advisable to have the shot
administered. I am very content to sit in
your arms and purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr; however,
I do like to play. I have met lots of dogs
and they're alright with me - and I'm alright
with them. Please call ahead if you want
to meet me; I hang out across the street
from our Adoption Center and can be seen
by appointment. It's my secret dream that
all three of us go home together - imagine
that!
Let me tell you, I have had it rough!
As you can tell from my handsome picture,
I lost an eye to infection. I am also FIV+.
(That means I have the kitty version of
HIV.) But, let me tell you, I don't let
any of that get me down. I can't pass anything
on to you or a dog. I'm a lover - not a
fighter, so there is no chance of me passing
it to another kitty. And, if I ever get
into a fight with another cat, that will
be a first! I have two cat "best buddies"
-- Sammy and Chondra. FYI: there is a vaccine
for FIV that is 85% effective. The doc says
I could easily live to a grand old age.
I love chasing laser lights, and really
like hanging out with people. And, when
you're busy or not around, I am very content
to gaze out the window and soak up the sun!
Please call ahead when you want to meet
me -- I hang out across the street from
adoption center with my two buddies! (Maybe
you're looking for 3 amazing cats?)
Meet Sammy the
Cat:
Hi, my name is Sammy
and I am FIV+. What does that mean? Well,
I have the kitty version of HIV. Don't let
that scare you- I can't transmit it to you
or to your dog. The vets suggest that I
be in a home where I am the only kitty or
live with other FIV cats. You see, I got
it from another kitty sometime ago. He bit
me and that was all that it took. And, I
have to tell you, I'm a lover, not a fighter.
I currently reside at the clinic with two

pretty normal life! For those of you who
are not aware, there is a vaccine available
for cats that is about 85% effective. If
your kitty mixes with others, it is advisable
to have the shot administered.
My
very favorite activity is jumping into the
arms of my people friends. With a simple
clap of the hands, I can leap approximately
three feet to get to my person! Then, I
am very content to sit in your arms and
purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I like to play, and
really like chasing laser lights. I have
met lots of dogs and they're alright with
me and I'm alright with them. Please call
ahead if you want to meet me; I hang out
across the street from our Adoption Center
with Shylo and Chondra. It's my secret dream
that all three of us go home together -
imagine that!
Meet Specks:
Hi! I'm Specks! You probably can't tell
from my picture, but I have little white
specks throughout my coat. Guess that's
how I got my name! I am looking for a "forever
home" that needs someone around to keep
an eye on things. I don't need to be the
center of attention, but I do enjoy observing
everything that's going on around me. And,
I will look forward to a nightly head scratching
sessions were the two of us can catch up
with each other! I'll listen to what happened
during your day and I'll assure you that
I had a comfortable day while I awaited
your arrival. Come and meet me -- I'll anxiously
await your visit!
Meet Deidra:
Hello, I'm Deidra. I'm here at One of
a Kind Pets, waiting for you to come and
take me away. I enjoy people and toys. I
don't really like a lot of other animals
though, and kids can be intimidating. But,
you and me? That would be perfect and a
match made in heaven. And, I will actively
play with you and my toys - it's a good
time! It's not necessary to give me all
your time, but surely we can share the evenings
together, can't we? Come on over and meet
me. I'll be here and I'll pack my bags in
case we will be leaving together!
Meet Annie:
Hi, my name is Annie. I am looking for
a nice quiet home. I am what you might call
a "classic cat". I don't jump right into
relationships ... I need to get to get to
know you first. But I promise, your patience
will be rewarded with purring and head rubs
once we become the best of friends! And,
listen, while we're talking, let's get it
all out there - I'll probably hide from
children visiting the home too. They can
be just a little too active for my comfort
level. How 'bout just you and me, and a
few cat toys? Come and meet me at the adoption
center - I'll be waiting.
Meet Smokey
Hi my name is Smoky and I love to interact
with people! I'll talk to you, rub up against
you, and give you the occasional stroke
with the top of my head! I like to share
activities, so when you open your mail,
I'll check to make sure you didn't forget
anything in the envelope. If you're making
the bed, I'll jump up and supervise the
project to make sure the sheets are on there
just right! I'll even check out the grocery
bags to make sure you didn't forget to put
something away! No thanks necessary - that's
just the kind of cat I am. Oh - one more
thing, I do need special food. The adoption
counselors can tell you all about that when
you come to meet me. Now, I will patiently
wait, but please get here fast!
Meet Mommy, our
"sweet girl"
Dumped at the
pound, pregnant and all, we took her in
and helped her during her impending birth
- and then later helped all of her babies.
Mommy had a litter of four kittens and was
an excellent mother. She loves attention
- in fact, she is starving for attention
- and will be a great house cat. After all
she has been through, she deserves a great
home and the opportunity to feel loved and
secure. She will give back so much and longs
to be the best companion ever! If you are
looking to add a feline to your family,
Mommy may be the cat for you! Come down
to meet this sweet girl at the adoption
center.
Meet Our Puppy:
We can't keep her a secret anymore!
She is just too cute!! This adorable Chihuahua
pup is looking for a home. She needs a secure
home with a lot of love and attention. She
is the last of a litter of 3 & she needs
you now more than ever. This is the age
when they begin to understand structure
and routine. Puppies don't want to fail
and because they depend on you to teach
them, you must be present! The longest they
can be left alone is for 4 hours at a time
-- after all, they are babies!!! With appropriate
attention and routine they will grow to
become the adult dogs you want them to be.
Do you have what it takes to be the best
pet parent ever? If so, we have the best
pup ever
Are you comfortable with
a puppy? If so, her next home may be with
you!
Keep in mind: her next home
must be her last! She doesn't deserve another
"life change" - NOT EVER!
Meet Roseline
Roseline is an unusual looking cat.
With bengal cat markings, she is striking!
Very social, she likes to greet everyone.
Roseline wants to know what you are doing
and will make it her business to find out.
She is a perfect, low maintenance cat. She
will give back so much and insist on becoming
a family member. If you are looking to add
a feline to your family, Roseline is the
cat for you! Come down to meet this sweet
girl at the adoption center - you won't
be leaving without her - she won't let you!
Meet Lily
Lily is a shy and very sweet feline.
She had a litter of kittens and was a very
good mom. With her kittens in homes, it
is Lily's chance to get adopted. She has
her favorite wicker basket bed in our adoption
center and observes the commotion going
on daily as potential adopters come thru
and both feline and canine friends run around.
Lily needs a quiet home and a loving family
to care for her. She will give back so much
and demand so little. If you are looking
to add a feline to your quiet family, Lily
is the feline for you! Come down to meet
this sweet girl at the adoption center -
you won't be leaving without her!
Meet Trinka
Hi I'm Trinka. I need a home ... Do
you need a roommate? I think you'll enjoy
my company. I'm just the right mix of cat....I
like being around people, playing with toys
(especially little mice, as you can tell
from my picture), and being petted. But,

what I mean? Why not come down to One of
a Kind Pets and meet me? I'll anxiously
await your visit.
