You’ll think her kennel’s a kissing booth, but her constant affection isn’t for sale; it’s a gift from the 100% tender heart of this demure less-than-two year old American Pit Bull mix “Sadie,” a tan and white beauty so sociable she’s yet to meet anyone — dog or human, young or old — she doesn’t instantly enjoy.

He’s a soon-to-be-polished black diamond in the rough — Camp Chinquapin bound and armed with a superlatively cooperative spirit, a friend-winning outlook and the determination to improve his already high marks in house-training.

American Bulldog enthusiasts praise her breed as “loyal, reliable, alert and self-confident, with a genuine love for children,” and indeed lovely Charlotte fulfills each of these definitive traits, in her own sublimely beautiful way.

She’s all that autumn has to offer without the blazing colors; 2-year-old Fall wears swatches of orange, gold and tan as muted as her meow, and she’s as cozy as a fire on the first chilly night, too.

Tiny’s no longer tiny! He was so named because of his “teeniness” when he and his two siblings came to the shelter. Both his sister and brother have been adopted and now, at 5 months old, Tiny feels he’s ready to leave the nest.
