Maverick - April
Maverick is a white and black super-friendly American Eskimo/Husky mix who loves to run off-leash and play with others dogs. He loves bacon treats and anything that squeaks! Maverick was adopted by his family a year and a half ago at an animal shelter and he's been a loyal companion ever since - other than a few *minor* excursions :).
Sunny Bear
March
February - Jefferson
Jefferson's owner, Zach, surprised the family on Easter with a puppy instead of a bunny. He is 8 months old. He is such a good puppy. He sits and stays. He will shake his paw with you and best of all he picks up the morning newspaper from the driveway and will bring it in the house. He loves his toys and loves to run.

December - Medo and Charlie
November - Bogy and Foxy
"Bogy" and "Foxy," are 7 month old Siberian Forest cats from the same litter. They are very dog-like....they come when they are called. They interact with people, greeting them at the door. Everything is a toy to them! They play all the time and especially love to play in their trees. They are 90% non-allergic. Their diet consists of raw meat daily. Male Siberian Forest cats get a mane around their neck and are not fully mature until they are 4 years old.
October - Princess Fergie and Princess Diana
September - Star
The Espositos saw a ad in the paper for a Chihuahua pup. When they saw her it was love at first sight. She was 9 weeks when they first got her. She is mostly brown with a bit of black on the back of her head. And she has a working on her forehead that looks line a peace sign. Star's favorite toy used to be swukies but now she likes small stuffed animals. She likes to hang out with her mom while her owner reads on her bed. She also likes to hang out with her owner's mom and her dog friend, Fluffy, in a bed under their computer desk. Star's favorite treats are veggie dogs and hard boiled eggs.
August - Cookie
Cookie is a 2 year old American Shorthair. In May of 2008, my art teacher heard a little meowing for a few days and did not know where it was coming from. So one day they finally found him under a table in their barn. Cookie's first night of being found he was under a bucket with a brick on top. And his first bed was a small pot. We wanted to get a new cat because our other one had a biting problem with people. Luckily, Cookie made the perfect pet. His personality is very interesting. He will greet people at the door and has a very low and long meow. He will always play chase and bite his toys such as craft puffballs and small toy stuffed animals. But he's never bitten anyone except for his big brother, Munch. He has a, "play love," relationship Sometimes Cookie and Munch will bite and chase each other. At other times they will fall a sleep in each other's paws. Cookie loves the outdoors and just got into a cat fight because of it. No serious bites for him but he got a freaked out mommy! We love Cookie and he's the most interesting character you'll ever know. Besides maybe Scooby-Doo, of course!
June - Bronx
Bronx is an 11 year old neutered male Redbone Coon Hound. Here is what his owners, Tim and Veronica, have to say about him: "Bronx came to live with us in 2001 when he was dumped at my grandparent's farm with no shelter but the bushes. He finally came out one day for my grandfather's breakfast; a blueberry muffin. Since his sadder and insecure days he has come to be such a happy and well behaved boy. He loves to play, howl, and follow his nose everywhere it takes him. He raises any puppy like it was his own and even at 11 years old will play with them until the sun goes down. His absolute favorite thing is going hiking! He has ventured many different trails from the White Tanks to the Penasquitos Canyon Trails and everything in between. He also has a love for water. He plunges into the ocean every chance he gets and has dragged us into lakes on countless occasions only to offer a big guilty laughing smile as we complain about being wet. He hasn't slowed down much in his old age and doesn't look like he ever wants to. At the end of the day he curls up on his big, oversized fluffy bed with a chew bone and snores off to sleep. He is the best addition to our family we could have ever asked for and we know he will always be the best ever. Thanks for picking Bronx for pet of the month. It means a lot to us."
March - Fluffy
Fluffy is a two year old Maltese. Her best friend is a chihuahua named Star. Her favorite thing to do is lick her mommy Danielle, especially her wet toes when she gets out of the bath. She loves all children. Fluffy recently starred as Sandy in the play Annie. The audience adored her. Fluffy loves to go with Danielle and is getting ready to travel to New York City and Seattle this summer. Fluffy is proud to be vegetarian like her mommy. She loves to eat vegetarian Avoderm and Peanut Butter bones from Jimbos.
February - Arthur
Arthur was a starving stray running loose in Escondido. He was living on lizards and garbage. He was skin and bones when he charmed his way into his owners' hearts -- and their home -- 4 years ago. Dr. Bill treated him for fleas and neutered him. He has been a patient of ever since. He seems to have forgotten his sadder (and slimmer) days.
