Pets of Arete Living: April 2023

We love our furry friends! Check out some of our four-legged buddies below.

My name is Clover!

Pet parent: Michelle Coe, Executive Director, Avamere at Englewood Heights

Breed: Black Angus cow

I’m a lucky calf born on St. Patrick’s Day! My name Clover is a bit on the luck of the Irish.

Mom says I’m the sweetest girl around. I love berry treats and neck scratches. I’m a proud show girl and during my debut, I won in my class and Reserve Grand Champion!

Hey, I’m Precious!

Pet parent: Avamere at Englewood heights resident

I’m a social butterfly and love to dress up along with Avamere residents and employees! Last year for Halloween I dressed up as Princess Peach from Mario Bros. Residents adore watching me walk down the hallway in my costumes!

Nice to meet you! I’m Gizmo.

Pet parent: Jennifer Sloan, Life Enrichment Director, Avamere at Englewood Heights

Age: 6-year-old bearded dragon

I love running around and chasing my dog siblings (as long as there are no birds flying around)! When I’m tired, I enjoy resting on mom’s 16-year-old son. We’re the best of buds!

I love baths and eating greens, fruit, and insects. Mom says I’m quite the character!

Hi, we’re Laila and Baby Bear!

Pet parent: Lisa Coffey, Regional Director of Operations, Arete Living

Laila

Breed: Half Pom, half Yorkie

Age: 7

I’m a talker! I enjoy walks around the neighborhood and showing off my voice.

Baby Bear

Breed: Imperial Shih Tzu

I’m a cuddle bug! I love following Laila wherever she goes and when mommy returns from travels. We’re both mom’s side kicks!

Hello, I’m Beau!

Pet parent: Jackson Williams, Director of Sales and Outreach, Avamere at South Hill

My dad likes to decompress and destress in the form of some pet therapy from me, his trusty Golden Doodle puppy.

Prr! I’m Miss Kitty.

Pet parent: Eileen Harrer, resident, Avamere at South Hill

Mommy isn’t my only fan! Residents and employees like to say hi and give me love.

Hi, I’m Punky Brewster!

Pet parent: Chad Sewell, Director of Sales and Outreach, Avamere at Newberg

Breed: Mini lop and rex

I recently stopped by for a visit to Avamere at Newberg. I enjoyed meeting residents and employees – and bringing smiles to their faces!
