Virtually Pets<\/h1>\n

On November 4, Long Beach Animal Care Services<\/a> sent a happy bunch of dogs off to Alberta, Canada, for placement, thanks to the efforts of Wings of Rescue<\/a> and the Benevolent Animal Rescue Committee (BARC)<\/a>. Eleven dogs consisting of , mainly consisting of types that overflow shelters and can be hard to place, including Chihuahuas, pit bulls, senior and shy dogs, and one bonded pair will now have happy homes! Read about it on the shelter\u2019s Facebook page<\/a>\u2014scroll down a few.<\/p>\n

Another good idea that has taken flight is the presence of ACS\u2019s adoptive animals at the Long Beach Airport at the annual Fly-in event on Saturday (see Mark Your Calendar, below). This time, the animals will go from airport to loving homes here. Below are a couple of first-class dogs and, because I missed out on National Cat Day<\/a> on October 29 (likely because it\u2019s every day at my house), I included a couple of wildcat flyers as well. One or more may have been adopted by now, but there\u2019s guaranteed to be standbys!<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t make the flight, visit ACS on the shelter side of the P.D. Pitchford Companion Animal Village, 7700 East Spring Street, Long Beach, at the El Dorado Nature Center entrance (no fee charged to visit the shelter).<\/p>\n

\"Diesel\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Diesel <\/strong>is a two-year-old Staffie who looks as if the person in the seat next to him got the last bag of Blue Chips. If you have a few treats at home for him and want to give him the love he obviously craves, ask for ID#A548714.<\/p>\n

\"Shannon\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shannon<\/strong> is a gorgeous three-year-old girl who has recently had puppies. She knows sit very well, loves a walk and keeps checking in with you but is also aware of her surroundings. For this reason, she\u2019s allowed to sit by the exit doors. To grant her entrance to your home, ask for ID#A559599.<\/p>\n

\"JOan<\/p>\n

Three-year-old Joan Jett is aptly named for this event. She was found wandering on the shelter grounds by a staff member and is extremely loving. Obviously, she\u2019s smart enough to know where to go. Loving rock \u2019n\u2019 roll is not a prerequisite for adopting Joan. Ask for ID#A552916).<\/p>\n

\"DArby\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Darby<\/strong> looks like a kitten in this photo but she\u2019s actually eight years-old. She asked the airline hostess for a blanket and got one. She hopes for a nonstop to a loving home. If you can provide one, ask for ID#A558396).<\/p>\n
