Meet Rupert

This week’s Pet of the Week is Rupert!

This 3-year-old has a personality as loud as he is! He’s the baby of the house and is best friends with his big brother, Peanut. But he’s been duking it out for “head of the house” with his big sister, Bella, for 3 years.

His likes include screaming, being sassy, aggressive nuzzling, and being adorable. His dislikes include being told no, lawnmowers, and his human leaving. He also has his human, Melissa, trained pretty well. Every morning he jumps on her shoulders to be carried to the kitchen for breakfast. The Help Desk loves Rupert and has decided to deem him “head of the Help Desk.”

Meet Harrison Ford

This week’s Pet of the Week is Harrison Ford!

Harrison is a nearly 3 year old tuxedo kitty. He was his human’s first and last attempt at fostering! Harrison’s name was inspired by his human’s love of Indiana Jones and Han Solo. When he’s not hard at work unraveling balls of yarn, Harrison enjoys long naps in the window and gazing at himself in the mirror. The Help Desk adores this little businessman and wishes him luck in his next feature film!

A Two-for-One PotW Special: PepĂŞ and Marrom

This week’s Pets of the Week are PepĂŞ and Marrom!

These two canine sisters were rescued as a pair, and they could not be more different! PepĂŞ, the smaller dog, loves to boss sweet Marrom around. And despite Marrom being larger, PepĂŞ still manages to be the alpha dog in the house. Although these two fight like any siblings would, PepĂŞ and Marrom get away with it because they are so cute!

Big thanks to their human, Gabi, for sharing PepĂŞ and Marrom with us!
