PennySaverUSA.com Blog – The Best Resource for Online Classifieds, Coupons, and Online Contests!

PennySaverUSA’s Pet of the Week blog feature promoting pet adoption continues to grow in popularity and we expect this edition to build the momentum even more.

Why are we so confident? Well, because our latest Pet of the Week, Zac, is just so darn adorable, that’s why!

Adopt Zac for only $105 from the San Diego Humane Society.

Zac, a 1-year-old Shepherd/Pit Bull Terrier (mix) from Oceanside, CA, is a playful and sweet companion looking for a special family and home to call his own.

He loves to play and spend quality time with his favorite people friends.  He also enjoys getting his exercise and going for walks.  He’d be thrilled to accompany his new pet parents on their athletic pursuits and outdoor adventures. Zac is a great student! You will be amazed by how quickly he learns new tricks!

Zac will do well in a variety of homes, but a home with children 12 years and older is recommended.  He would also do best in an active home without cats.  His adoption fee is $105 and includes his neuter, current vaccinations, permanent microchip identification & registration, certificate for a free veterinary exam, and a license if resident of Oceanside or Vista. He is available at the San Diego Humane Society’s North Campus.

This week’s user-submitted pet adoption story is a real doozy. Thanks goes to PennySaverUSA Twitter follower @dublrs for sharing.

At work, there are some stray cats in the neighborhood, and one got pregnant and had her kittens on the roof in front of our building. It is covered in shrubbery and such, so not easy to see and we had no idea.

One of Mew's favorite activities is playing in the water bottle cases.

Well, for a couple of days we had customers telling us they could hear mewing coming from the roof out front. My boss and I went out, and climbed up on the AC unit to have a look, and we could barely make out the shadow of the baby, back in the back.

He was very skittish and we finally were able to get him down. He was the only one left of the litter that hadn’t made it down, possibly the runt. I took him home with me…he was so small.

Took him to the vet and had him checked out. He got the “OK” and we went home. Soon after, he got really sick, so sick that we thought he was going to die one night, so we took him to the emergency vet. They told me to feed him every hour some meat baby food, gatorade, and yogurt. I did this for a few days and he came back. Now he is nearly 8 months old and a very big part of our family.

My 12-year-old twins and me and the husband love him to death and he is always there inside the door when you come home and there when you are going to bed! (He’s strictly indoors now!).

His name? “Mew”, of course! If it weren’t for his loud mewing, he might not have made it.

PennySaverUSA is going into what we hope is an amazing Thanksgiving by running our latest Pet of the Week feature supporting pet adoption! In accordance with the lofty status of this traditional American holiday, we felt a special need to bring it with this week’s spotlighted pets.

We feel Pearl, a boxer/pitbull mix is the perfect Pet of the Week to carry us into the holiday weekend.

Give Pearl a happy home by adoping her today.

Pearl is a female, who is literally always smiling and just loves life!  When she first arrived at the shelter over a year ago, she was very shy.

Pearl was one of the 63 boxers removed from a 2 bedroom home in horrible conditions.  She is no longer shy and just loves to get out, run around and play.  Pearl is a very sweet girl who gets along well with other dogs and is very easy to walk too.

Her favorite thing to do is entertain herself in the yard by throwing her toys around.   She is just a joy to watch.  Pearl is truly a little angel on earth.

Please make her your new best forever friend today!

Now onto our Pet of the Week user-submitted story from PennySaverUSA Twitter follower @mikediegel. It was so incredible and such a doozy, we felt it deserved its own blog post. Please read it here.

We just couldn’t cut this incredible Pet of the Week pet adoption story down. Here it is in its entirety from PennySaverUSA Twitter follower @mikediegel:

The first time we saw Kaiser in the Appalachian Great Pyrenees Rescue kennel, we knew he was a wild thing. Bouncing off the gate was an extremely tall Pyr, maybe eight months old, who was like a gangly, hyperactive teen. No wonder they called him Bronco Billy. He was worse outside.

Santa has never been happier.

My son and I instantly fell for him. My wife, not so much. She had visions of something calmer and more placid, much like the female we’d lost about a year before. Two weeks later, we were taking him home.

The first days and nights were a challenge, as he discovered the fish pond, dug until he was a muddy mess and refused to let anyone near his paws to wipe them. He also was not used to the night lights and sounds of the dense suburban area where we live, barking at shadows and the sounds of nighttime traffic, generally ruining our sleep.

But we persevered, and he started to settle down after a couple of weeks and some training. After a few months, we decided he needed a playmate. Heeding advice not to mix two males under one roof, we visited a number of females, all of whom Kaiser ignored. On a lark back at the AGPR kennel, we introduced him to Charlie Bear. They immediately hit it off.

We were warned that CB was a tough case, a give-up who hadn’t worked out in other homes. Nevertheless, seeing the two playing so well together, we talked ourselves into taking him home to see what happened. Lo and behold, it worked and Charlemagne, as he was rechristened, became a grateful, happy part of our household.

Later, we agreed to foster Sylvia, a stray like Kaiser. As it turned out, she couldn’t handle staircases, which cost her several chances at adoption. X-rays revealed severe arthritis in one hip. Since she was still a young dog, we decided to do surgery. We’ve had her now more than a year and haven’t regretted a moment of caring for such an affectionate dog. We officially belong to the Failed Foster Club.

As if Thanksgiving, one of the best holidays of the year, wasn’t enough, it’s followed by Black Friday – the best shopping day of the year. Save Money Monday is here to provide a how-to shopping tips to help you get the most out of Black Friday.

The first key to a productive Black Friday shopping trip is to figure out what items are on your list to buy. That point is vital to remaining efficient in your shopping.

Once you have a list of items, the next step is to scout out which stores have the best sales for the types of items you are seeking. Coupon bloggers can be of great assistance in this matter. Some of our favorite coupon bloggers are The Realistic Couponer, Nifty Mom, Southern Cali Saver, Coupon Katarina and Coupon Mamacita.

Now that you know what items you want and which stores you need to target, you should figure out when each store opens when and plot out your trip. Some kick off at midnight, while others don’t open until the wee hours of the morning. That information is pivotal to your planning.

Use a site like Mapquest or Google Maps to get directions to each store and take that into account as well when deciding which route to take and which stores to visit first.

Finally, with everything planned, set a budget. Even on Black Friday, you can wind up spending a fortune if not careful. The last thing you need is to go into debt, while buying discount merchandise!

Have fun shopping everyone and share with us your strategies in our comments.
