Sheltering Gifts

Day 27 of self-isolation and the initial burst of enthusiasm to 'get things done' had swindled to nothing.

Let's get organized

"Foster failure"

'I'm not abandoned. I'm a free agent.'

'He has a big heart. . . inviting his homeless friends in to stay dry.'

'No JAMIE,you're NOT keeping any strays! Now GET rid of him and go wash up for dinner!...' / 'Sorry kiddo,i tried...'

'It's looking good this time: I've been here for six months and the kids haven't lost interest in me as yet...'

"Can you believe he was the last dog at the shelter?"

'He's hoping to get out on appeal.'

SPCA: USED CATS AND DOGS

Thinking "Inside the Box."

'Very nice, but is there room to swing a cat?'

'It's only temporary until we can find a good home for the cats.'

'Mom! Dad! The thunder scares me! 'Billy! We're under here! (bed)

"What, no day spa? And you call this a luxury bunker."

"I've fixed the shelf, darling."

Reading in the rain.

Early House Hunting.

Dogs Home: Beware of the Human

"So what books didn't you get around to reading during lockdown?"

Cattery and kennels

"I'm thinking about moving out of the suburbs."

"That's better! - I can't bear the noise of the rain on my roof..."

Buster got religion in the pound and now works with other bad dogs.

"I'm a funny little person so I'm looking to adopt a funny little dog. Do you have one?"

"We’re ready when you are!"

Pet Shelter. If you can't decide which dog to adopt, try taking one for a walk. Leash to own!

"Trust me — we’re better off in here."

Puppy Doghouse

'The man at the shelter promised he doesn't bark at all.'

Lady sees 'Stop' sign above cat at shelter, thinks, 'Well ... I did ask for a sign.'

"Aw, geez. Was that vase expensive?" "No, but those were the dog's ashes. We should head straight to the shelter."

"You the couple interested in the German Shepherd?"

"Try to look housebroken."

'At least we have a roof over our heads.'
