We Get Mail! A special letter in memory of ‘Cooper.’ “I adopted a dog. His name was Maximus, but I changed it to Cooper.  Cooper was a very sick dog and no one wanted him except me.  He was loved so much and was the most lovable doogie I have ever had.  He was happy and content and lived only for a short period.  Cooper passed away and it was the saddest day of my life.  He will always hold a special place in my heart and will never be forgotten. I know there will never be another Cooper, but I want to thank you all for giving me the opportunity to adopt him.”  L. Psarras

Crossroads is Waiting for You!Hello! My name is Crossroads and I’m a very refined gentleman! I’m may be 10, but that’s nothing for a sophisticated fellow like me! I prefer long snoozes and an independent lifestyle, with a good scratch behind the ears every now and then! I know we can make beautiful music together, so I look forward to meeting you soon! I’m hanging out in the newly refurbished Purr Paradise Cat Room at the Fort Lauderdale Adoption Center, 1870 S.W. 39 St. this Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
