Paws and Prayers Rescue Blog

 Hello.  I'm Scoogie.

I'm an older gal, at 8 years old, but I assure you I still have plenty of love and happiness to bring to you and your home!  I am past all of the craziness of kittenhood and am ready to snuggle up with you and be the purrfect companion.

Paws & Prayers has been helping me to find my furever home for a while now.  More recently I was given a break from the cage life and moved to be an office cat.  You'll most likely find me one of two places - relaxing on a shelf or right by your side.  Like any cat I like my me-time every now and then so I'll find a spot to curl up and get a good cleaning and nap in.  But I'm never too far from the action.

Getting up to say hello!

I love attention!  If you find me in one of my me-time hiding spots and even look at me to say hello, I'm up and at your feet ready for some loving.  Or even if you don't find me, I'm not shy once I get to you know, I'll come find you for some cuddles and love.

From my first days with Paws & Prayers, coming out of my shell a little

And as you can see in my pictures, I have a beautiful, short coat of black, white and orange in a pretty calico pattern. Even my little nose decided to get in on the fun, as it's got some little black spots that look like my coat pattern! My eyes are big and round and flash from a soft lime green to a beautiful yellow, depending on the day.

From my first days at Paws & Prayers, feeling a little shy

 I was scared when I first got here to Paws and Prayers, but now I am starting to warm up to everyone and they're able to see how incredibly sweet I am.  The office life especially exposes me to all sorts of scenarios and I've come to show that I am good with other cats, dogs, and children once I have had the time to warm up to them, so I am a great fit for any family situation.  I can't wait to find my furever home.  Won't you help me find it today?

The July Volunteer of the Month is our very own Beagle Bob! Bob is awesome, he takes a lot of his time to transport dogs from far away. If we need a dog or dogs picked up from other shelters even in other counties.  Bob is always the first one to volunteer his services (thank you for that!). We know we can reach him on email almost anytime (right, Bob?).  He always makes sure to share with the group his estimated arrival time to the office. He is a selfless person who is devoted to helping pets in need! Bob loves Beagles (see why we call him Beagle Bob?) and has fostered many (he will transport and foster other breeds too). If a foster has a problem with their foster dog he will offer advice and help out in any way he can. He is definitely a great attribute to our group. Bob's commitment and devotion not only to fostering with P&P but also to each and every dog he takes in is inspiring. To hear him talk about his experiences and what it means to him to foster and why he keeps doing it, is amazing. And our fans love him - especially his posts and Russell series.  In the words of a volunteer "he's frickin awesome" and that, he is! Congrats to Bob for being there and helping whenever you can.  We are so grateful to call you our volunteer of the month but also part of the P&P family!
