☘️ Say Top of the Mornin' to Paddy! ☘️
We've posted and introduced Paddy to you before but he's made so much progress since then that we felt we should do an updated post. Paddy is a young adult (approximately one to two years old) male cat who's looking for his forever home.
Paddy had a little bit of a rough start to life, as he spent the first part of his life as an outdoor cat without a caretaker, finding food however he could. When Paddy arrived at the shelter, he did not know what it was like to live with people as an indoor cat, but he has since blossomed into a very sweet and curious boy. With the help of his closest human friends (especially one in particular 😉) he's learned about all the wonderful things life with humans has to offer, like chin rubs, scratching posts, and Churru treats. He loves to sprawl out on the floor and offer his tummy when he wants affection. He also has been very social and polite with the other cats here, and he has had a few feline playmates he has gotten along with wonderfully!
Despite his initial fears, Paddy has a lot to offer. He seeks a loving home that is patient, on the quieter side and will let him adjust and acclimate to things on his terms. Adopting Paddy means giving him a chance to feel secure and cherished in a forever home. Please give us a call at 401-910-8999 or email us at [email protected] if you would like to meet this special guy.

POSSIBLY A FOUND DOG ~ LOCATION UNKNOWN!

Lately i've been getting a lot of calls for service that have been making me go hmmmm... This is one of them!

I received a call from city hall this morning saying a woman was trying to turn in a small dog that she had found on the street. I requested that she be sent over to the police department so I could speak with her directly.

The woman came in carrying this small dog that had on a choke chain and a long leash. She was also carrying a bag of dog food.

The woman does not reside in Central Falls but stopped in at the Family Dollar store on Broad Street. She said while at the Family Dollar, she ran into a friend of her's that is homeless. She then said he gave her $20.00 to take this dog that he allegedly found. Where he "found" the dog is unknown.

Obviously there is way more to this story then what has been shared, but my first goal is to see if anyone out there recognizes this dog? I'm positive someone will but whether they will do the right thing and call me is something i'll have to wait and see.

I'm needing this story to be shared and i'm looking for someone to do the right thing in speaking up for this dog. The true story is what is going to get this dog the help he needs! The number to call is #401-616-2561.
