Pets of the Preferred Realty

When selecting a real estate agent there are many factors you may want to consider. Things like their geographic location, area of specialty, years in the business or maybe their style of communication. Or maybe you want to know if they're a pet lover...just making sure it aligns with your love of furry friends! At the end of the day...or transaction rather, it may not really matter, but we thought it might just be fun!

Jake
MY STORY

Jake is the first rescue we've ever had. We had 6 pure bred labs before him. We were dogless for the first time in over 25 years and a friend heard of this dog who was going to be put down within 24 hours if they didn't find a foster home for him. We brought him home and never let go! Not only has he been the healthiest dog we've ever had, he also has the most personality! He's somewhere around 10 and he still has lots of energy and loves to go on long hikes - he likes being in the woods along creeks the best.

EDGAR ALLAN POE
MY STORY

Edgar is a handsome Siamese cat with piercing blue eyes and a sleek, chocolate-colored coat. Born into a loving family, Edgar has always been a curious and playful feline, with a penchant for spending his days looking out the window and chatting with the birds outside.
When his human mom heads off to work each day, Edgar takes up his post at the window, watching as the world goes by. He's fascinated by the different birds that come and go, and often engages in animated conversations with them, using his soft and melodic meows to try and lure them closer.
Edgar isn't alone in his daily routine, though. He has a longer and more laid-back brother named Norman, who he loves to cuddle up with and groom. The two brothers are inseparable, often curled up together in a sunny spot, or playing chase around the house.
Despite his fondness for bird-watching and lounging with his brother, Edgar is also an active and playful cat. He loves nothing more than chasing after toys, batting at strings, and exploring new corners of the house.
All in all, Edgar is a charming and affectionate Siamese cat, with a personality as unique as his striking appearance. He brings joy and companionship to his family each day, and is sure to melt the heart of anyone lucky enough to cross his path.

Norman
MY STORY

Meet Norman Edgar's adorable little Siamese cat brother, a furry ball of love and affection! This little fellow is a true cuddle bug who loves nothing more than snuggling up close to his humans and giving them sweet, gentle kisses.
As far as food goes, this cat has a refined palate and his absolute favorite meal is spaghetti. He's been known to meow and rubs against his human's legs when they're cooking up a pot of pasta, just waiting for his chance to sneak a taste.
One of this cat's most endearing qualities is his enthusiastic greetings. He's a bit of a social butterfly and loves to jump up and greet everyone who comes through the door. And once he's made his introduction, he'll happily snuggle up in their laps for as long as they'll let him.
All in all, this little Norman is a bundle of love and joy, bringing warmth and affection to everyone he meets.

Ranger & Ripley
MY STORY

Ranger & Ripley, the dynamic duo of doggy mischief and charm!
Ranger, the German Shepherd, has earned his nickname "Houdini" thanks to his amazing skills at escaping and his clever food-stealing tactics. He's always on the lookout for adventure and "SQUIRRELS!" He loves to explore the world around him. Don't let his escapades fool you, he's a true gentleman at heart and loves nothing more than a back scratch from his humans.
Ripley, the Bird Dog, may pretend to be a hunting dog, but the only thing he is really hunting for is belly rubs! This lovable goofball is always up for a short game of fetch, a dip in the water, and chasing squirrels. He's never turned down a tasty treat. While he may not be the most skilled hunter, Ripley more than makes up for it with his loyalty and affectionate nature.
These two "dawgs" are like brothers from another mother, always getting into trouble together and making their humans laugh with their silly antics. Whether they're hiking in the mountains or playing fetch in the park, Ranger and Ripley are always up for an adventure - as long as it involves belly rubs!

Murphy

Murphy
MY STORY

I have a friend named Murphy, but sometimes I call him Murph
And if you ask me my opinion, he's the best dog on the earth
He likes to go outside, if just to sit and stare
Like he doesn't have a worry and he doesn't have a care
He likes his treats and cookies and chasing and smashing the cat
It's what he does to stay in shape to keep from getting fat
He enjoys going for a walk, sometimes out at the parks
And one thing you may notice is he very rarely barks
But he can get his point across with his expression and those eyes
He will listen to your secrets, but he won't tolerate your lies
Tell him you will care for him and love him, that's for sure
And he will be there every night, when you come home thru the door
He may be like a lot of dogs, you know, loyal to the end
But like i stated earlier, That's MURPHY,  and he's my friend!

MY STORY

Cozmo was a reccue in 2006 from Action for Animals.  I was in the cat section looking for a cat when I found him.  He is now in his senoir years and is still demanding when he is not sleeping.  Coal was a reccue from a Puppy Mill in 2012. When I first held him, I looked at his little face and thought his eyes and nose were as black as coal, so that became his name. He is supper cuddly and really likes people.  He thinks he can catch birds, which has never happened but he enjoys the chase.

Olivia
MY STORY

Olivia is a 6 year old Chocolate Lab who came home with her Brotherr Oitis(litter mates) who was a Silver Lab. Otis unfortuantley at 4 years old had a psyst on his spleen ruptured and he bleed to death at home. After that tragic day Olivia became the office greeter and started coming to work everyday. She brings a smile to everyone. When she hears the doorbell at the office she grabs her Paws Lite toy and runs to greet them. Some say Olivia killed Otis so she can be the only child. When not running the office she can be found in the summer in her pool or pool side waiting for ANYONE  to throw the ball. She loves to dive and also learned to hold her breath and open her eyes under water as to get that ball before it surfaces so no one can steal it. She is truly a joy to all who know her. Stop in at Butler South or to the Cha Cha Palace Poolside Bar to meet her. It will surely make her tail wag.

Pet of Rebecca Wilson
Chloe, Charlie & CoCo
MY STORY

I love each of these pups dearly because each one brings a unique and special joy to my life. They have become cherished members of my family, filling each day with love, companionship, and laughter.

Chloe is a friendly and playful Pomeranian Yorkie mix who greets me every day with a wagging tail and a kiss. Her boundless energy and zest for life brings an infectious joy to our home. Whether it's playing in the yard or going on walks together, Chloe's presence fills my days with happiness and adventure.

The second dog in my life is Charlie, a black Lab. Charlie's intelligence and loyalty are truly remarkable. He is always by my side, especially when food is around.  His gentle and loving nature provides comfort and emotional support during challenging times. His expressive eyes and warm cuddles melt away any stress or worries I may have.

Lastly, there is CoCo, my mischievous mini Australian Shepard. CoCo's silly antics and playful spirit never fail to put a smile on my face. She has a talent for finding joy in the simplest things, whether it's chasing the other dogs or rolling around in the grass. CoCo's unwavering loyalty and affection make her a constant source of comfort and companionship in my life.

Having three dogs that I love dearly brings a sense of fulfillment and purpose. Each dog has their own unique personality, and their presence adds variety and richness to my daily routine. They provide unconditional love and support, and their boundless enthusiasm reminds me to live in the present moment and appreciate the simple pleasures in life.

Solo
MY STORY

I adopted Solo back in 2020. I knew I wanted a small white dog. When I looked on the shelter's website and saw him I went straight there to get the process started. In preparation to him arriving home, I went on Amazon and bought hundreds of dollars worth of toys, and guess what? He does not like to play with toys. Sigh.

His original name was Bull's Eye because he has a dark brown circle around his eye. However, his best friend's name is Han so I changed it to Solo. Get it?
He loves to walk around the neighborhood and spend time with our neighbors. He is more popular than I am. Neighborhood Watching, however, is his specialty. He will sit on the couch on the front porch and hang out all day snooping in people's business.

He is definitely the greatest dog I have ever had.

At nights when it's time for bed, he knows exactly that he should go in his cage. However, if he is standing, sitting  or even laying down,and you say " Charlie it's bedtime", he would lower his head flat as if he is sleeping, peek through his furry eye lashes and whenever you look closer at his eyes he looks away as if you never mention his name. After a few more calling of his name, he gets up and walks over to cage looking distressed.

When he's not doing that he is sleeping, there is no in between.

Biscuit (orange boy) and Zelda (gray girl) were born in 2023. They were found inside of an empty apartment and rescued by friends who volunteer for Oakland TNR. Oakland TNR Coalition is a 100% volunteer-run foster-based, 501(c)3 non-profit cat rescue founded in 2019 with a focus on TNVR in Oakland, Pittsburgh, and surrounding neighborhoods. Biscuit and Zelda were once lonely and left in the cold, but are happy, healthy and warm now thanks to this wonderful organization.
These two are inspeperable for most of the day. Biscuit has a funny side, as most orange cats do! He loves chasing his tail, a certain mouse toy and most of all, playing with his sister. He's also a tremendous biscuit maker, spending many hours in his bed perfecting his craft. Zelda is extremely affectionate towards any human. She loves burrowing under the covers, chasing her ball and cuddling with her brother. Both cats will sit in any box that is left on the floor, follow you anywhere you go and have made themselves at home! After all...Is a house a home without pets?
