Community Spotlight
Pets with Personality
Every week we highlight four memorable pets from our community—one each: a dog, a cat, a bird, and a small-pet feature. “Small pets” includes mice, hamsters, gerbils, ferrets, guinea pigs, reptiles, and rescued squirrels or raccoons. We’re looking for animals with character: the calm companion, the mischievous troublemaker, the dramatic performer, and the quietly surprising friend. If your pet has a distinctive habit, a signature look, was adopted under unusual circumstances, or you simply want to introduce them to the community, we want to meet them.
