🍼 KITTENS, KITTENS, AND MORE KITTENS! 🍼

We have kittens everywhere you look at RRPR! Litter after litter has arrived, and they're all ready for big adventures in a forever home. 🐾

Our kittens are:
✅ Playful and curious
✅ Litter box pros
✅ Ready to go home

💡 Tip: Two kittens are twice the fun! When kittens have a buddy, they keep each other busy, so your curtains and toes get a break. 😹

💰 Kittens are just $25 to adopt this month. Two kittens for $50 is double the purrs!

Our cat sale runs through the end of October. Come meet our kittens during regular business hours!

🐾 MEET BLACKBERRY! 🐾
(Not the phone. Way better battery life. Zero dropped calls.)

AGE: 5 years old
BREED: Black Labrador Retriever
WEIGHT: 61 lbs. of pure love (and maybe 2 lbs. of treats)

Blackberry is a sweet gentleman with a goofball side. He's a classy guy who will still give you his best doggie grin and wag his tail hard enough to clear a coffee table. 😄

Blackberry's daily schedule:
🚶 Morning: Walk. Sniff everything. Walk some more.
🚗 Afternoon: Car ride! Ears out the window, living his best life.
👣 All day: Following you from room to room, just to make sure you're okay. Bathroom included. Privacy is a human idea.
📺 Evening: Curling up next to you for your favorite TV show. He doesn't mind what you watch, as long as he's on the couch with you.

At five, Blackberry has outgrown the chew-your-shoes puppy phase, so your slippers are safe! He's potty trained, knows a few basic commands, and will happily learn more for a treat (or ten). He gets along with gentle, friendly dogs, and he has never met a stranger. He loves EVERYONE.

If you've been looking for a loyal sidekick, a walking buddy, and a couch cuddler all in one handsome black package, Blackberry is your guy! 🖤

MORE DETAILS:
🏡 This dog requires a fenced yard.
🛋️ This dog must live indoors (he insists on couch privileges).

All dogs and puppies at Raccoon River Pet Rescue (RRPR) have been spayed/neutered, have age-appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, and have been treated for fleas, ear mites, and parasites.
