Cats, Dogs, Ornaments, and Bow Ties!

Linda Banner cat ornament

The Gallery is gearing up for fall and getting in the holiday ornaments from our local potters like these sweet cat ornaments by Linda Banner.  She makes them in brown, cream and black glazes.  A great gift for the cat lover.

Handsome Simon needs a home.

 Simon is an 11 year old, very handsome kitty who was returned to BWAR when his family lost their home and couldn't find housing to accept pets. Simon was living with his brother, who passed away shortly before they were to be returned, a couple of small dogs and a 6 year old little boy. Simon does the cutest little trick where he sits up on his rear end and paws at the air like a puppy dog. Hopefully his foster momma can catch him on video soon, so everyone can see. This sweet, gorgeous, big hunk-a-kitty is really looking for his forever home, so he never has to move again and will have all the love her needs. Email Simon's fostermom to learn more about him at lisa.alford@me.com.

Goat milk soap

This great Dog Shampoo Bar of soap is the perfect thing to keep your dog flea free and skin healthy.  It is made at the farm with goat milk, saponified neem oil, Castor oil, coconut oil, aloe butter, rice bran oil, flax and hemp oil. Blue Belle Farms is a regional award winning goat farm.

Dalmatian and fire truck bow tie

Beau Ties of Vermont makes their ties by hand, using fabric of all kinds.  This is our favorite, with the bright red fire truck and Dalmatian dog.  Got a fireman in the family or a firetruck enthusiast? This tie is sure to be a hit with them.

Ella is available at Brother Wolf.

Ella is a large, sweet, female English Pointer with a great big heart to match. She was found as a stray and had 11 pups. She is quiet, loving and laid back, but can be playful, too. She loves people and is great with older kids. Ella doesn't get on too well with cats and likes some dogs better than others. She is about three years old and is house-trained. She has a very strong prey drive, so she must have a fenced-in yard. Come meet this great dog at our Adoption Center at 31 Glendale Avenue, Asheville, NC 28803 or call 828-505-3440 for more information.
