There was a great article in the Monday paper about the most common names for pets in our area. We have our own list of "too popular" names that we try to avoid whenever a pet comes into HAWS needing a moniker.
For the most part, staff has sworn off of names like Buddy, Fluffy, Blackie, Shadow...
Here are some of the pets currently available at HAWS with the best names!
ACORN
This handsome cat is a shorthaired gray tabby. Actually, Acorn was stuck up a tree and rescued by a HAWS staff member, so we can take credit for this name.
BLUE CRUSH
Blue Crush is a female Indian Ringneck Parakeet that was flitting around a business in Menomonee Falls. Another "stray," she was also named by our kennel staff.
BO & ARROW
These two darling Guinea Pigs were surrendered together and will be adopted out together. We're not sure if their aim is true but they DO "quiver" a little bit....
CHURCH
You've heard of a Churchmouse, how about a Church CAT?! Another shorthair, Church has a beautiful dense gray coat. He is 6 years old and a sweet young man who just needs some companionship.
SHREDDER
An American Mix rabbit, Shredder is just over a year old, and has been neutered. Don't be fooled - he's more of a "gnaw-er."
By the way - we are selling tribute paver bricks as part of our fundraising campaign for our new facility. We will continue selling the bricks even after we've reached our goal for construction, but what a great way to honor a family member or beloved pet, or just get your name "etched in stone"! Log onto our facility expansion page to download a brick order form, or stop by the shelter and pick one up!
