Hello there, my name is Daisy. I am a beautiful calico with tabby stripes and luxurious long fur. I found myself at HALO after my previous owner had to move to an assisted living facility. I would like to be the only animal in the home, as I like to have all the attention! I enjoy being pet, however, I’m not one for being held. Sometimes when we are playing I like to give love bites. It’s just my way of letting you know that I am having fun.
I like toy mice and would love to have a cat tower that I cat stretch and sleep on. I would also like to remain an indoor only kitty as I have no experience in the outside world. Plus I will get to stay safe, clean, and healthy. My adoption fee includes my spay, my microchip, up to date vaccinations, preventative de-worming and an FeLV/FIV/HW test, which was negative. If you think that I am the girl for you, then come meet me today!

===== Payson is a town in northern Gila County, Arizona. Its location puts it almost exactly in the geographic center of Arizona. It has been called “The Heart of Arizona”. The area is often referred to as “Rim Country”.Payson considers its founding year as 1882, at which time it was known as Green Valley or Union Park. On March 3, 1884, the town officially established a post office. The town was later named Payson after a man named Levi Joseph Payson. Senator Payson was very instrumental in the establishment of the Post Office.Payson had its first rodeo in 1884.

Gabriel’s Angels

=====

Our Mission is to deliver healing pet therapy to at-risk children, nurturing their emotional development and enhancing the quality of their lives forever.
PHOENIX/TUCSON

Through the love of a Therapy Dog, children can discern tolerance, gain confidence and learn how to properly treat other living things. When at a visit, children have the opportunity to interact with a Therapy Dog team by listening to their heart, feeding them treats and brushing their teeth. They quickly begin to show signs of happiness; they’ll began to feel a sense of responsibility and what it’s like to feel needed and loved by someone. Once children learn empathy, compassion, and trust they are less likely to repeat the cycle of violence of which they were once victims. This positive reaction to the unconditional love of a pet has proven to be very powerful and effective and is the very foundation of Gabriel’s Angels. If you are interested in learning more about Gabriel’s Angels, the phone number is 602-266-0875 or click on the link to their website.

TESTIMONIALS

Hello Mr Moll

Sorry I blew it a little when I began the interview. I thought I was going to talk to you Al Moll. But Christopher Scott was the host.

Thank him for me will you. Just went to your site and played the broadcast…this croaky old guy was led through a nice discussion by Mr Scott.

Sincerely Yours

Dear Chris and Discover Arizona crew,

I just wanted to say thank you for all of the wonderful promotion for our Spring Music in the Garden Series. It was so wonderful working with you and I loved being on the air each week! Maybe this fall we can actually get those 500 people out here. Thanks again!

Well, it looks like doing that exchange has worked out for me. I got a call about 3 hours after the show, from a guy who does advertising. Seems that my SEO (search engine optimization) prices are cheaper than his current supplier. And he said that he can probably supply me with 3-10 jobs per week. That will bring me about $350 in profit per week, for about 6-10 hours of work. And this was the 1st time he’s ever listened to the show!
