Adopt This Pet: Conway the Miniature Pinscher Mix

The loveable canine was found as a stray and is currently up for adoption through Redmond-based Motley Zoo Animal Rescue.

 

Conway is a loveable and inquisitive 5-year-old miniature pinscher mix that was found as a stray by Redmond-based and is now looking for a permanent home.

Conway is both neutered, microchipped, flea-treated, dewormed and up-to-date on vaccines. He is currently having a tumor removed from his leg and it is currently unknown how or whether this will affect him in the future.

Notes from Conway's foster home: Conway is brand new in our care so we are still getting to know him! So far he has been a big cuddle bug with his current foster. He loves his people and likes to hang out near them. He enjoys playing with his toys and is quite a 'hopper'—which can be cute but can also be an undesirable way to greet people, so continued training to stop his jumping will be necessary in his forever home. Conway is a sweet-tempered and gentle boy who can be found burrowed under blankets when he's not playing. He does have a lot of energy so an outlet of activity will be good for him. He is a little cautious when he meets new people but warms up quickly if reassured by his people that the stranger is a friend. He's a great little guy who can't wait to find his forever home!

Notes about adopting: All potential adopters fill out an application, are interviewed and have the opportunity to visit the dogs. Fees depend on the veterinarian care that has been given. Because animal rescues are run entirely by volunteers, costs need to be reimbursed so the rescue can continue to save more dogs. All adoptable pets have vaccinations and are spayed, neutered, microchipped and flea-treated. Many have dental work done if they are older.

If you are interested in adopting Conway, or want to find out more about Motley Zoo Rescue, please visit www.motleyzoo.org  or www.motleyzoo.petfinder.com.

Motley Zoo Rescue of Redmond is a nonprofit animal rescue organization that is run by volunteers. Motley Zoo Rescue does not have a shelter location but instead houses all of its needy pets in foster homes.

Motley Zoo is always looking for foster homes. Fostering is a great way to "test out" your family to see if you are ready for a permanent pet. Call 206-453-8480 or e-mail volunteer@motleyzoo.org for more information.

We too, love having our Farmers' Market return! Opening day was a bit weather-challenged. ThankRead More you merchants for enduring the wet and cold for our new extended hours! What a wonderful sight will return to the plaza when the sunshine calls back all the families with happy, giggling children. Market day is a date of dinner out (side) & shopping (vegetables, fruits and now HedgeHog Toffee) with my husband. Doesn't get much better than that! SEE YOUR THERE! Susan Gerend

Agreed Mark, Much as this solution seems crazy, some things are worth paying for (law and order, aRead More decent safety net, good schools and yes roads). I do blame the tax hawks though. Washington already has a relatively regressive tax structure. The "choke the government" solution seems carried way too far.

I thank the author for his well thought out arguments regarding these important transportationRead More issues in Washington state. While I believe some of the ideas presented are debatable, for example I believe that a vital and well used transit system ought to be part of our congestion relief plan in metropolitan areas, the lack of realistic funding options for this system cannot be ignored. However, our legislature (both parties included) seems to place a higher priority on "no new taxes" than creating a sustainable future for the state in many areas, including the transportation system. More than that, though, we live in a state whose citizens have varied interests and priorities. Most of all, we need our government to set priorities so that citizen interests and needs can be reasonably served. It seems we are pretending that we can base tax policies and tax rates exclusively on individual self-interest, as is often the consequence "no new taxes" scheme (e.g. if I don't get a direct benefit for myself, I won't support paying for it). This seems to me to be as much a part of this problem as current transportation system priorities.

It gets worse folks. I was part of a selected focus group a few weeks ago of people who live alongRead More I-405 conducted by a well-known marketing research firm and paid for by WSDOT. They are considering options that would charge commuters to use a new lane on I-405 & charge for the existing carpool lane too (even if you have two people in the car!)
