PAWPRINT PRESS Our motto- “Save one, save two.”

By adopting one shelter animal, you open up a

cage for another animal to come in, be safe, and

find a home.

Have you seen it?

On the first Sunday of every month, one of the animals at the Cranston Animal Shelter is featured in the Providence Journal, who generously agreed to help our residents to find their forever homes. Roxy, Snow & Midnight, and Knight are all in happy homes now because of the

publicity these animals get!

Keep your eyes open; your next pet may find you!

Featured Pet ~Finn~

Finn was very shy when he first arrived at the Cranston Animal Shelter. Now, shy is not the word to describe Finn! He is so social that he reaches his paw out of his cage as far as he can to

get attention. Finn has really come around, and is ready for his family to adopt him—today!

“Come adopt me, please.”

BE CAREFUL On THANKSGIVING!!!

Thanksgiving is the most traveled holiday of the year—don’t let your family and friends be careless and let your animals out of the house!

Keep Christmas merry!!!

Tinsel, ribbons and bows, candles, extension cords, chocolate, nuts, holly, poinsettia plants, pine needles, and mistletoe are all very bad for your pet to get his paws on!

WELCOME IN THE NEW YEAR safely!!!

Candles, fireworks, candy, and streamers are all very dangerous to pets!

ABOUT THE PAWPRINT PRESS

The PawPrint Press is a quarterly newsletter created by 2 local kids whose experience with the shelter inspired them to become adoption advocates for the animals. It has been distributed for 4 years in their Eden Park neighborhood and is now the official newsletter of the Cranston Animal Shelter. It is our hope that every animal at the shelter be adopted into a forever home.

Some of The Animals Available at the Cranston Animal Shelter…Shar

In this picture, I am reaching for a toy. So as you can see, I love to play! I only use my claws on the

toy, and NEVER on people. I am a very sweet one-year-old tabby that loves to be held and

cuddled.

“Will you be the one who cuddles with me?”

Moe

I am very afraid. All the other shelter dogs bark around me, and I feel like I have no place to be. I

am a 4-year-old Corgi mix. I was relinquished because my owner said that I was bullying his

other dog and cat, but I am good with older children. My wish is to be loved once more, and I

promise I will love you too.

“Please love me.”

Sadie

Sadie is a very sweet dog. She is already housebroken, takes treats gently, and knows how to sit! She is medium sized but has a BIG

heart and a lot of love to give.

“Would you return Sadie’s love?”

Nara

I am one of the sweetest cats at the Cranston Animal Shelter. I love to get brushed, and am a lap cat. Although I am 8 years old, I have many

more years to live and love.

“Does your lap have room for me?”

Chestnut

Chestnut is a great cat. He is very friendly and likes to be held and loved. His is still young, only

2 years old, and loves to play. He has also discovered his “motor” and spends most of his

day purring!

“Do you have the home for Chestnut?”

Cruz

I am a very sweet Chihuahua mix found astray on Route 10 and Cranston Street. I am friendly and calm and like to be held. I am a 5-year-old male

and am available for adoption as soon as I am neutered.

“Will you adopt me?”

Jaime

Jaime is still very much a puppy. She wiggles at the end of her cage hoping someone will notice her and take her out to play. She appears to be already housebroken, can sit when told, and is

very gentle when taking cookies.

“Come see me wiggle!”

Pinky

I am very confused. I was once very happy with my owner, but now I’m in a cage. My owner is homeless and now I am too. I am 14 years old,

very calm, and ready to go home—forever.

“Will you take me home—forever?”

Slinky

Slinky cannot walk without his daily dose of Prednizone. As long as he has his medicine though, he is very mobile and reminds most people of the dog in Toy Story. He is very loveable, can be held and cuddled, and would make a great companion for almost anybody!

“Could I be your companion?”

Queen

Queen is very timid when someone approaches her kennel; she doesn’t trust people yet. She is a

one-year-old pit bull mix and needs a home where she can be the only animal.

“Do you have the home for Queen?”

Edria

I am very afraid. I sit in my cage at the Cranston Animal Shelter, in a box with a blanket in it.

Most of the other cats come out and explore the room when they are cleaned, but I am too scared. All I want is for someone to bring me home with

them, where I cannot be afraid anymore.

“Is there room for me at your home?”

Leeza

Hi, I’m Leeza and I’m a retriever mix waiting for you at the Cranston Animal Shelter. I take treats nicely, like to play ball, and am housebroken. It

feels like I’ve been here forever and I’m very excited about getting adopted…soon!

“Will you end my wait?”

Papitto

Papitto has no reason to trust humans. He was neglected by his owner and left outside on a

chain to fend for himself. He is now very thin. Despite his past, he still gets excited when

someone approaches his cage.

“Would you love Papitto?”

Suma

Suma is a very beautiful and sweet cat. She likes to be held, and loves when you pet her silky grey

fur. This three-year-old is one of the many animals at the Cranston Animal Shelter searching

for a forever home.

“Is your home missing something?”

Lady

Lady is a great dog. She appears to be housebroken, obeys basic commands, and is very

gentle when taking treats. Lady would make a great addition to your home.

“Please love me.”

Kara

My favorite things to do are scratch my scratching post and be with people. I came to the Cranston Animal Shelter in August and my goal is

to be adopted by Thanksgiving.

“Can you help me achieve this goal? I’ll be very thankful!”

Roderick

I am a favorite at the Cranston Animal Shelter among the people, but I have hissed at other cats.

I am a 2-year old neutered male.

“Can I be part of your family?”

Twila

This little cat just wants to be loved. She is small, only 11 months old, and ready to go home. She is already spayed, vaccinated, and curled up

on a fleece blanket waiting for you.

“Come end my wait.”

Niav

My name, Niav, means brightness. However, I am not feeling very bright or cheery. I have been at the Cranston Animal Shelter for a very long time. I am a very sweet one-year-old tabby.

“Are you the one who will make me feel happy?”

Guinevere and Lancelot

Guinevere and Lancelot are a bonded pair, and cannot be separated. They are very calm and

sweet cats, who love to be together. These siblings are 2 years old, and are ready to go

home.

“Please come see us.”

Carnegie

From my cage I can look out the window. Every day when I get let out, I sit on the windowsill and

look at birds, squirrels, and people. Many people, as I have observed, drive right by the shelter, its residents, and me. My wish is that

one day one of those cars will leave with me in it.

“Will it be yours?”
