This beautiful 3 yr old pure bred pug, “Bella” does not have a happy face to be looking for a new home…but her owners are moving and cannot take her.  She is excellent with kids and other animals.  She is free to a good home.  Please contact Craig at 860-966-3718 for more information and the chance to meet her!

We don't want to break any rules here...but look at that face!

uh oh

Be careful out there...

Dear Students,

Over the last few months, the Office of Residential Life and Physical Plant have found a number of unauthorized animals or pets in student residences.  This email is to serve as a reminder that the pet policy only permits fish in a ten gallon tank (maximum).  No other pets or animals are permitted in student residences at any time, even if for a brief visit.
Students and their roommates who have a pet or animal found in their residence are subject to the following:

1. Incident documented and reported to The Dean of Students Office for judicial action
2. Fine of $100 per animal each time it is seen in a residence
3. Immediate removal of the animal
4. Charged for any additional cleaning that may result from the animal being  in the residence

If you have any additional questions, please contact the Office of Residential Life at reslife@wesleyan.edu or x3550

Sincerely,

The Office of Residential Life Staff

Have You Seen This Dog?

His name is Killer. Killer belongs to two Wesleyan professors. He has been missing since yesterday and is wearing a Home Again tag. He is a very sweet dog and is greatly missed! If you know where Killer is, please contact russellhouse(at)wesleyan.edu.

puppy party

We have gone way too long without a pet parade! My deepest apologies to all those photogenic pets around campus and their web-browsing friends. Here are some updates.

   

This lil Lady made an appearance at a party! It truly was a puppy party. Maggie had a nice time playing and petting.

Ally is in the market for a new canine friend, and this image was a source of inspiration for her. That could be you Ally!

And Brody and Dylan are still having fun.


Again, we at wesPETS are so sorry for the pet neglect, but keep the cute images coming in so that wesPETS can remain Wesleyan's leader in pet news!

close bonds

Alec sent in these beauty shots of his pet groundhog. He writes:

"here are a few pictures of my pet groundhog that lives near Freshmen Fauver. Ze's a real cutie. We have kind of a strange relationship, though, because it's hard for me to communicate to hir that ze is my pet. I don't think ze knows. I'm not sure about the wesPETS standard re: mutual caring, but I think appearing on wesPETS would really help clarify my relationship with Alex (isn't that cute?). Especially in this difficult time of transitioning to a long distance relationship."

We wish you two the best of luck! Keep us posted.

There is also a brand new addition to the wesPETS family! Dylan is a Welsh Terrier fresh off the plane from Florida and Brody's new baby brother. We can't wait to see this friendship take shape.

a pet parade

Here is a sampling of wesPETS favorites from the last couple of weeks - on and off campus. Bask in the rays emanating from these springtime darlings.

a look back

I am so sorry for the delay my pet-loving friends! The wesPETS staff has been off campus and not in-touch with the animals recently. Here is a clipping from a February edition of the Argus. It seems as though wesPETS-minded students were already organizing to represent the pets back in 1974.

to the rescue

 

This cupcake is a rescue dog all the way from Alabama!

And this cuddly one came from Massachusetts to visit sis!

happy birthday brody boy!

Brody is 1 year old today! Here he is last April as a tiny puppy soon after he arrived home for the very first time. Eat some cake Bro!

nowhere to go

Because of the large piles of snow lining the pathways and the icy topcoat covering previously open lawns, this little guy had nowhere to go. Despite attempts to get past the ice and slush, his mom thought it best to keep him on the paths in the CFA.

wesPETS apologizes for our severe decline in posts this semester. The ice and snow don't make for great pet-walking conditions, and the pupulation around campus has gone inside. We are, however, working hard to bring you more exciting indoor pets. Keep wagging those tails!

welcome back pet peeps!

After a long time away, the pets are back on campus! While we compile some fresh faces to photograph and interview, take a peak at Gabe's loving former turtles Herbert and Shanequa.

not quite wesPETS

Because the team at wesPETS is currently dispersed throughout the country, here are some of my handsome canine relatives to hold you over until next semester.

Roscoe is not a pet on campus, but he is my cousin. This Boston Terrier is shown nibbling on a tasty bone just last week.

Welcome back Brody! He was a wee bit confused during his first foray into the snow...

lone wolves

This week, unfortunately, we encountered a few cases of pets sans owners.

 Hannah got up close and personal with this majestic kitty outside of Exley.

If anybody sees cookie, please do contact Sarah and Jenny! They are OBVIOUSLY willing to do what it takes to get their baby back.

a long tail welcomes a long weekend

This dumpling of a possum was perched outside Nics 5.5. Residents woke up on Tuesday morning to a pleasant but pale site.

THX Garren!

 

THX Faisal!

the colonal

wesPETS lost a great friend this week. The Colonal was a super friend and fish. His bright colors glistened as he provided Maggie with enjoyment and company for his short few weeks here. We'll miss you, The Colonal.

a dog's life

Andrew met Daisy when she was out for a brisk morning walk with her parents. She looks fab in her matching pink accessories.

Faisal captured an intimate moment with 2-year-old Coco. She was surprising chill while surrounded by a gaggle of strangers.


As wesPETS continues to expand, we are constantly challenging ourselves to meet more pets. One in particular has caught our eye, but due to sheer speed, we have been unable to get a hold of him/her. This beautiful dog was spotted pulling his/her roller-blading owner around campus a couple of times this week. If anyone sees this duo, please contact wesPETS as we would LOVE to get acquainted with this eccentric pair.

all animals welcome

We love Welsh Terriers here at wesPETS, and Ginger is no exception. She was the epitome of cool in her brown and black coat as she graced campus with her presence. This Middletown resident should stop by more often.

Andrew also spotted this wesPET trying to break free from the leash.

sneaking in

Merlin visited Kristin as a special treat, so this bundle of joy had the chance to experience dorm life for a day.

meet sophie

When we met Sophie outside of Usdan, she was very friendly and playful. We hope to see more of this Beagle soon.

a pet for the masses

Piers sent in this candid of the groundhog that lives outside French Hall. Although "Furly Tomlinson" may not be your average pet, a certain group of students feels much love for this endearing rodent.
