 ADORABLE DOG SPOTLIGHT...Petra

Petra is about nine months old and weighs around 10-12 kilos.  She was found wondering the highway to Mismaloya.  She had already been hit by a car, requiring the vet to fix her broken leg.  She has completely healed and her broken bone is not noticeable.  
 Since April, Liliana and David have been her foster parents.  They tell us that although Petra may bark while at the library, at home she actually “talks”.  David calls her “a dog from another planet”.  Look for an upcoming video!!!
 Petra is super active, loves the beach and requires a home where she can get a lot of attention and use up all that bundled energy.
 And, we have an even more urgent need for Petra.  If we cannot quickly find her a permanent home, we are going to need a new foster family for her to stay with.  Due to some personal problems, Liliana and David need to find a temporary place for Petra to stay.  If you can help, please contact either Liliana or David (222-0513).  They will be gone from July 29 until August 16.

 ADORABLE KITTENS IN THE SPOTLIGHT
 Luz, our dear friend and dedicated volunteer, is fostering these cuties.  Please come by the library to get to know one of these beautiful animals and maybe take home one or more!

ADORABLE CAT SPOTLIGHT... 
Serafina
  
We are, of course, searching for a permanent home for dear Serafina but are also faced with the need for a new foster home immediately.  Please contact us if you can assist.
 Our intrepid volunteer Marj has this to say about Serafina:  “She is such a darling cat, if I could have another, I would surely take her.   I think that she would have been adopted when she was a kitten if her foster home had brought her in time, but alas, they waited too long and she grew.  She’s so gentle and gets along with every cat and person.  She doesn’t even come to adoptions in a crate, they just carry her and she’s fine with it.  Maybe if people see how beautiful she is on the outside, they’ll want to see how beautiful she is on the inside too.”
 So here’s another photo of this beautiful animal.
 Please, please contact us if you or anyone you know can assist us in taking care of these wonderful animals that just deserve a chance.   If you can assist, please contact us via our website (www.spcapv.com) or send an email to spcapv@gmail.com.  

To see all the animals available for adoption, visit our website (www.spcapv.com or
www.spcapv.blogspot.com).  The SPCA PV will continue to host adoption events at Biblioteca Los Mangos every Saturday from 10am - 2pm.  Biblioteca Los Mangos is located on Francisco Villa around the corner from Costco.
  
ADOPTION REPORT
 We had a number of animals (eight dogs AND eight cats) available for adoption, but alas no luck.  Hopefully some of these wonderful animals will find a home soon.  Please pass the word to friends and neighbors who might be interested in a companion animal to come to the library.
 Thanks for all the food donated by Cecilia Delgado.
 Kudos to all our friends who volunteer each week, particularly in this hot, humid weather amid trampled mangos!  This week’s volunteers were: Luz, Fernando, Maria De Los Angeles, Shannon, Lynnette, Veronica, Jessi, Alyssa and Natalia.  Last week’s volunteers included Marj, Jessica, Natalia, Xihuitl, Litzy, Angeles, John, and Livia.
 Special thanks to Fernado and Shannon, who helped in the morning setting everything up; to Lynnete and Maria de Los Angeles who helped at the end getting everything back to the storage room.
 As always, much thanks to Sandra for all the wonderful photos.

 HAPPY ENDINGS
 And this from Shannon:  “I adopted Cooper, formerly known as ‘Flash’, at the end of February, at Los Mangos Library. He was so tiny and timid, but that changed soon after he arrived to his new home! Cooper is now almost 8 months old, 46 pounds, and full of energy and love. His ‘sisters’, my two cats, have slowly accepted Cooper into their lives, but he does attend doggy daycare two times a week so he can play with other dogs and give the kitties a break! I’ve also kept in touch with his foster parents, who ended up adopting his brother, Xolo, formerly ‘Sparky’, and the brothers have had two successful play dates!” 
  
MISSING DOG
 The dog in this photo belongs to the Director of the Tribune and was lost over a week ago.  His name is Archie and is only 3 or 4 months old. His got out of the yard at his home in the Aramara area near Walmart.  Any help and information would be greatly appreciated.
 If you have seen him, please email David Plotz at dplotz@vallartatribune.com
