“JUNEBUG” IS A LOVEBUG

Helen Woodward Animal Center Pet-of-the-Week for May 14, 2012

Rancho Santa Fe, Calif.  (May 09, 2012) – Meet Junebug, the Pet-of-the-Week available at Helen Woodward Animal Center.  This sweetly affectionate Chihuahua Dachshund-blend mommy dog just licked the last of her pups goodbye as they headed off to forever homes.  Now Junebug is looking for a loving family of her own and couldn’t be more worthy of one.  Junebug is just over 7 years old and only 11 pounds.  She is a gentle little lover who adores human and animal companionship.  She is kind to everyone she meets and is housebroken too!

Junebug is waiting to meet you at Helen Woodward Animal Center.  She has been spayed and is up-to-date on all his vaccinations.  Her adoption fee is $264 and, as with all pets adopted from Helen Woodward Animal Center, is micro chipped for identification.  As an added bonus, Junebug also comes with two free passes to SeaWorld!

Helen Woodward Animal Center is located at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe. Kennels are open daily Monday through Thursday from noon to 6pm; Friday from noon to 7pm; Saturdays 9:30am to 6pm; and Sunday 11 am to 6pm (last application accepted 15 minutes before closing). For more information call 858-756-4117, option #1.

About Helen Woodward Animal Center

Helen Woodward Animal Center is a private, non-profit organization where “people help animals and animals help people.” Founded in 1972 in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif., the Center provides services for more than 57,000 people and thousands of animals annually through adoptions, educational and therapeutic programs both onsite and throughout the community. Helen Woodward Animal Center is also the creator of the international Home 4 the Holidays pet adoption drive and the Animal Center Education Services program, teaching the business of saving lives to animal welfare leaders from around the world.

Each week, we feature a great dog or cat looking for a new family… they are called Helen Woodward Animal Center’s “Pet of the Week!” Our animals are transferred to us through a cat rescue or a dog rescue group that needs help, through an overcrowded animal shelter where they simply would have “run out of time,” or even through a surrender by a family or individual. Our Pet of the Week is always a beautiful and wonderful animal looking to be adopted into his or her new family.
