Fauja Singh completed the Toronto Waterfront Marathon at the age of 100. They had to create a whole new age division for track & field athlete Stanislaw Kowalski because he was 105 when he last competed! So don't count me out just yet. My name may be "Sissy," but I'm no shrinking violet. Yes, I'm 12 years old and about 10 lb with a heavily-sugared muzzle and the snaggliest of snaggleteeth. I'm a little old lady and proud of it! I'm also a terrier to the bone, which means I can still bounce six feet in the air and outrun a
ADDRESSING THE RUMORS... Hi guys, it's me, Bitty, and I just want to talk to you about something that's been on my mind. See, I've had people make assumptions about me that are based on, frankly, hurtful stereotypes, and I want you to know the truth. First of all, I know calicos often get a reputation for being sassy, spicy, or opinionated. Me? Pure sugar. The very sweetest. Cotton candy and marshmallow fluff. The most opinionated and demanding I get is when I want to be picked up so that I can cuddle on your lap. Once you do pick me
I'm Leo, I'm six years old, and I plan to become your next Best Buddy.What do I bring to the table? Um... you mean besides a set of lower teeth that look like the curtain call of a musical when the leading couple comes out? Because I think that's pretty irresistible on its own.I know, I know- you want real stuff. We're going to be together for life, right? So you want to know if I'll have your back (I will) and if I have good manners (I do) and if I'll pee on your floor (Nope. My previous owners

Look, you and I both know adopting me would be a bad idea. No, I hear you- "I'm torn, Peepers. You're just so darn cute." I get it. But do you REALLY want something this cute in your house? What if I outshine your decor? What if I outshine your children? Think about it. Who wants to spend their time playing with cats? Like, sure, you COULD watch me go nuts over a feather... or you could watch a fifth straight episode of 90-Day Fiancee. Just as much drama, less interaction. And isn't it nice coming home and having nobody
I'm Sapphire and I'm here to tell you all about me! Now, I could pretend that I'm the kind of dog who just loafs around all the time. Shenanigans? Never heard of her. My favorite activity is sitting quietly and being seen, not heard. I could tell you all that, but let's be honest- there's no way you'd believe me. Nor should you. One look at this cheeky smile and you'll know what I'm really about! I'm lively, curious, and tons of fun! I may only be about 30ish pounds, but I'm a force to be reckoned with. I'm smart and
Tall, dark, handsome, and best of all- totally available! That's me. Binx. The most eligible cat in town. Sure, it may be my thick hair and kind eyes that gets you to swipe right on me initially, but I'm more than just a pretty face. When we finally meet, that's when the real magic happens. Sparks will fly, human. Sparks. Will. Fly. I'm a loving, outgoing guy who gets along well with other cats and has lived with (and loved living with) dogs. I love being held so much that, if I'm being ignored, I'll put my paws up on your leg
Isn't it amazing how siblings, born and raised in the same home, with the same genes, can be so different from each other? My name is Merrick and, out of a family of spotlight-seekers, I'm the wallflower. I'm the kind of guy who would rather write a poem or study birds than stand up and do karaoke in front of everyone. That means, of course, that most of my family members strolled right up to potential adopters, charmed them immediately, and got adopted right away. And me? Well, I may take some time to find my home, and I suppose that's okay.
Here's the process for meeting me (JoAnn): First, maybe you peek into my condo from the hallway and think, "Aww! Look at that one with the squishy little face!" Or maybe I'm hanging out somewhere tucked away and you don't even see me. Probably, you think, "She looks kind of scared. She might not want to be friends."But... try anyway. I promise, it's worth it.You come in and reach for me and the first thing I'll do is back up away from you. I came here to the shelter after my person moved and left me behind. It's an overwhelming
You looking for a junior scamp? A little rascal? A baby rapscallion? Well, look no further! My name is Yuki, but you can call me whatever you like. I mean, I'm all of eighteen weeks old. Nothing about my life or identity is set in stone. I don't even have a family! I'm a silly goose of the highest degree. A certified imp. Monkeyshines are my full-time job. In other words... I'm a puppy! What breed am I? A mix of a mystery mom and a mystery dad. How big will I get? I dunno! Bigger than I am now! I
