			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know that it doesn&#8217;t matter to animals if they have names or not. That said, it&#8217;s still sad to see whole pages of cats and dogs on Petfinder who are sorted in the same way we might sort books in a library or merchandise in a store. I&#8217;m reminded of something that Gandhi once said:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I thought I would play around with some rough shading and textures in this sketch. It&#8217;s certainly a contrast to last week&#8217;s stylized line work. What style of sketches do you all prefer?</p>
<h2>Meet Michael</h2>
<p>Michael is a one year old male Cane Corso, which means he is going to be a very big boy! I&#8217;m of the opinion that bigger dogs = more cuddles, though, so I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;d be able to resist this guy if I still lived in NY. His Petfinder page says that <em>Michael will thrive in his forever home and be your faithful companion. He will be responsive to positive reinforcement training. Our experienced staff is available to talk with you, answer your questions and provide advice on how to transition him to your home. Michael is neutered, dewormed, treated to prevent fleas &amp; ticks and is up to date with vaccinations. His adoption fee is $200.00 and he&#8217;ll get one free exam at our vet&#8217;s office, one free month of pet health insurance and a microchip.</em></p>

<h2>Meet Hero</h2>
<p>Hero is a male Schnauzer, probably about 2 1/2 years old. There&#8217;s not much information about him, other than that he has been vet checked, neutered, microchipped and all his shots are current. He certainly looks like he&#8217;d be the life of the party, though!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today we have a special treat! Okay, maybe it&#8217;s not so special, but I&#8217;m happy about it. Today&#8217;s Shelter Sketch is by yours truly: ME! I&#8217;m trying to get in more drawing apart from my design work, and I thought this was the perfect opportunity. I chose an extremely personal subject too &#8211; meet one of our current fosters!</p>
<h2>Meet Storm</h2>
<p>Storm was a scrawny little thing when she was first brought to us by Ash&#8217;s dad, who found her wandering around his neighborhood for weeks before she started exploring his porch. She was so hungry that she didn&#8217;t care how close she got to people, she just wanted food. And shelter. And love. Ash and I couldn&#8217;t say no to her sweet, pleading face, and because she was more of a stray than a feral, we took her in as a foster in hopes of finding a home for her.</p>
<div id="attachment_877" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://iloverescueanimals.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/storm.jpg"><img title="storm" src="http://iloverescueanimals.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/storm.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">This is Storm</p></div>
<p>Her story doesn&#8217;t end there. When we did a combo test on her, we discovered she was positive for FIV. There are some vets out there, and some groups, who wouldn&#8217;t think twice about putting her down because of it (and often times, that&#8217;s the default thing to do for TNR cats), but fortunately for her, we wouldn&#8217;t allow that. Cats with FIV, it has been discovered, can live a long and happy and healthy life with the right family, the right diet, and enough TLC. Obviously she will need to be an indoor only cat. FIV can only be transferred between cats through the body fluids which means the only way she could really transfer it to another cat is through a deep, penetrating bite wound. This is highly unlikely in a well settled household of cats but to be safe, we are trying to find her a home where she will be an only cat, or have siblings who are also FIV+.</p>
<p>To learn more about FIV, please take the time to read this great article from <a href="http://www.bestfriends.org/">BFAS</a>: <a href="http://www.bestfriends.org/theanimals/petcare/cats_fiv.cfm">&#8220;FIV: Catching a Bad Case of Rumors&#8221;<br />
</a><br />
Storm is incredibly sweet and very playful. She loves playing with string and chasing balls of paper across the room. She goes crazy for catnip toys. She LOVES to headbutt and cuddle against you, and she&#8217;s a full-grown cat but she&#8217;s absolutely tiny. A perpetual kitten. Storm is already spayed and up to date on her rabies and FVRCP.</p>
<p>This cat lived her life on the street &#8211; she used to belong to someone and they threw her out. Who knows how long she wandered around before Ash&#8217;s dad finally found her. So we have taken up her cause. She&#8217;s had several people interested in her, but because she&#8217;s a special needs kitty, nobody has come forward yet and she sits and waits patiently for that one person to come take her to her forever home. Are you that person?</p>
