What was your pet's Shelter Name?

[marysmerrycats]

And we added her middle name, Rose, after Rose Nylan (Betty White) on the "Golden Girls". Betty is a real animal person.

I have read that ... I loved that show! and I liked her character on the show, LOL. did you see the episode where she wanted to adopt the puppy?

Phred-- I had a dog when I was a kid, named Boots, he was black with some white, but his legs were black, except all four had white feet, looked like boots... I was about 4 I think, when I got to pick out his name!
I had dogs growing up, Poochie (Boots' mother) and she had another litter, or two( didn't do the spaying thing back then! )
and they were all given away when the time came, except one we kept for a while,a ndI got attached to her, then we gave her away, and as the people were getting back in their car I kept trying to tell my dad, them them her name is Sandy... tell them her name is Sandy! I was about 6.
I had a stray that hung around outside for a while, named her kitty.
Boots ran away after we moved, and I rode my bike around asking everyone I saw if they had seen him... no luck! I was 15.. no more pets til I was 20, Lucy..

Zeke was Augustus lol I didn't really like it to much Other then that I could call him "Auggie" which sounds cute

Lexie did not have one either, the lady at the shelter does not like to name them as it makes it too personal.

Kacey and Kiri were part of the "Winnie the Pooh" litter at the shelter. Kacey was Rabbit and Kiri was Kanga.

Hmm out of the 6 I have right now, the ones who actually HAD names there... were Asim and Isha...

Asim was Blare
Isha was Binky

[cali]

perky was biscut. blah! we hated that name, not to mention biscut does NOT suit a black and white dog

and Ripley, was rosco, he had been abused w/ the name rosco and got scared whenever we called him that, so we changed it to Ripley

Olivia: Ebony
Micah: Mike
Noel: Zuni

Yea....we TOTALLY changed those names....especially poor Noel...

I liked Olivia's name, but its so common for black cats...we all know I can't be common!!!

I adopted Storm from the Humane Society and they had already named him Storm. I thought it was a nice masculine name for a grey cat so I kept it. I don't think this was his original name though because it took him a while to respond to it.

When I adopted Sunny he really didn't have a name. The lady sometimes called him Mr. something or other I forgot. I had already picked his name out before I adopted him because I knew that I wanted a male orange cat. Well his name fits him purrfectly.

Before I adopted Cirrus, his original name was Flint. When he was adopted as a kitten, it was changed to Rocky. The lady had to bring him back because she became very allergic to him and his brother. He was then called Flint again. Since he didn't even know his name I wanted an s sounding name with a weather theme. Nomilynn, Naomi, thought of Cirrus and I liked it so that became his new name.

My RB Pepper was named Chocolate but I decided to change it to Pepper because I thought Chocolate was too long and he was a black cat not brown. I didn't realise at the time that the name Pepper was so popular.

I don't know about Corkscrew, but Tibby was named Judy. I didn't like it very much.

Soo many beautiful foster babies! It's a good point that people keep a pet's name if they are a few years old - it would just confuse them!

KELCEE was #1364. I adopted her over the phone after seeing her in the shelter. I was at work thinking about her and called to get more info. They told me that 'today' was her last day, and if I wanted I could put a hold on her. I did. When I saw her in the shelter I didn't even know if she was a boy or girl. That night I was watching TV, "L.A. Law" and when they said Anne Kelsey, I thought "OH Kelcee would be a cute name for the kitty". I had already had Tonee, the two ee thing going so wanted to keep that ee thing. Her middle name is Yorel. which is Leroy backwards, her brother before her. She is Princess Kelcee Yorel

That is how I adopted Pixel! I rang up and reserved her on the spot after hearing about her blue point coloring, half Siamese heritage and beautiful blue eyes

Dandy was just a number (no name), but Guinness was fostered and his foster mom named him "Boo"...i think he came into the shelter around Halloween.............

My horse was called Roch when I got him (he was saved from slaughter) I changed it to Ross.

One of my gerbils - the only one who actually had a name was Suki. She was previously Scampi.

The guinea pigs kept their names - Teddy and Rex and the last 2 from the rescue centre didn't have names - now Widgit and Wingit.
