June brings sunshine and love for pets of the past and present
Photo by kaibara87 Foter.com CC BY |
June 16, 2014- The month of June not only brings sunshine and summertime but it also raises awareness for shelter cats and celebrates our animal companions- living and dead.
June is Adopt a Shelter Cat Month from the ASPCA and Adopt a Cat Month from the American Humane Association. It is intended to raise awareness about the joy of rescuing a cat from a shelter. There are so many loving, affectionate cats in shelters right now just waiting to find a forever home. The ages range from kitten to senior and the breeds are plenty. It’s hard not to find the perfect feline friend in one of the many shelters out there. Giving a senior cat a second chance or bringing home a kitten that was separated from its mother in the wild is an amazing feeling.
Real pets, real people, real stories
Do you love your pet? Guess what- we love you for it! We are looking for pets to feature on Paws For Reaction! Is your pet worth a feature! TELL US WHY!
Thanks to some wonderful readers we have told the world about Nova the loving cat who helped her owner get over her grief. We shared the story of Teddy- a remarkable rescue dog given a second chance at a happy life. We were able to get Keira the rescue dog votes in a fantastic contest!

"Zoe" Artwork by Suzanne Leonard Canineportraits.net |
Pet portrait artist honors pets with beautiful and detailed paintings
Pets are like family
members. They have personality, quirks and emotions. Pets are often treated
just like family- they get gifts, go on vacations and end up in family photo
albums. There are so many different ways that pet owners invite their animals
into the family circle.
Some pet owners chose
to honor their pets with a custom pet portrait. This special piece of art is
both home décor and a way to show your love for that special family member. The
number of talented pet portrait artists is rising and these artists are
constantly raising the bar. When a client commissions a piece they are
generally looking for a final product that is detailed, polished and true to
their pet. California based pet portrait artist Suzanne Leonard delivers a
finished product that is all that and more.

More about me- Keira!
I am a two year old Saint Bernard/ Bernese Mountain Dog mix. I am quiet and very well behaved so my parents reward me for that all the time with lots of outdoor adventures. I am really good at hiking, swimming and climbing steep hills. I love to jump over things and run real fast. I was rescued from a shelter from my first mommy but she ran into tough times. So she found me another mommy and daddy and they told me they will keep me forever. Its okay though- I love everyone and I'm always happy as long as I have a family. I really want to win to show other doggies that even though your in a shelter there is a family out there that is perfect for you and that will love you. Just like my mommy and daddy love me!
Keira's favourite things:
-playing with the ball
-squeaking her ball
-playing hide and seek, especially the seeking -going in the water
-going in the water when mommy and daddy say not to
-doing my tricks; high five, playing dead, rolling over. I can do anything!
-Rolling in poop (unfortunate for my two leggeds)
-snuggles and kisses
-spreading my love around and just being a dog, a really good dog.

Bath time blues
Kickin' it in the wetlands
Mommy and daddy gave me a job!
I love the water! This was my first time at the cottage and I can't wait to go back!
Sometimes I roll in dirty stuff...then I have to have bath time.
But I guess bath time is not so bad- it does make me look extra pretty!
This is what I do when mommy works on the computer- I'm doing in right now!
Daddy can't get away with not giving me belly rubs when he lays with me on my bed.
I play air guitar too! I'm so talented!
Sometimes I squish mommy...
...but I'm so cute she doesn't mind!
I love affection almost as much as...
...I love impressing people with my skills- I'm pretty good at playing dead, rolling over and high fives!
I always make sure I shake off near mommy on warm days to make sure she stays cool.
My zombie is the first toy my mommy and daddy gave me. Its my favourite. I sleep with it on the comfy bed with me until its time for me to sneak into mommy and daddy's bed. I know I'm not supposed to but they never seem to mind because they love me so much.
