Meet Chip and Wicket

The Knauz Autopark Pets of the Month - August 2012

Meet Chip a three year old Italian Greyhound mix male looking for someone to rub his belly.

Sadly, I was picked up as a stray by a local animal control facility. I was so scared, but then I heard that I was going to Save-A-Pet and this was a good thing. I still wasn't quite sure at first. I was shaking and even curling up my lips a bit...but after a few days I started relaxing and realized that I was safe here. I love walks and once we have spent a little time together, I often roll on my back if you stop walking: that's the signal for a little belly rub. A little time and some TLC are all I needed to be back on my paws and to know that everything will be okay, especially once I find my new family.

Meet Wicket a female kitten looking for a new Mom or Dad

I’ve had a rough life in the few short months I’ve been alive. A nice lady found me when I was just a teeny tiny baby. I had lost my mom and so she brought me to Save a Pet where I had to be bottle fed. She gave me a little stuffed inch worm that I could pretend was my mother. I’m all over that now that I’ve grown up a little and I can eat wet and dry food. I’m pretty cute; I’ve got an itsy, bitsy, teeny weenie, white bikini and white back toes. My fur is black as midnight and I have the prettiest blue eyes. All that I am missing now is my new family. Won’t you be my new mommy or daddy?
