For the Love of Shelter Dogs*

Goodness, I’ve been absent from here for a while. I got pretty wrapped up in classes, work, and the shelter that I haven’t had much time to get online and blog! But I’m back, so here’s a few updates:

The Amaizing Pet Adventure went very well! We had a great turn-out and raised quite a bit of money for the shelter. I’ll have a few pictures up in a couple days.

And now for some sad news. Unfortunately, Bambi didn’t find a home in time and had to be humanely euthanized on November 5. The only way I can look at it without being overwhelmed with sadness for her is to see that she’s not cooped up any longer. That, and her leaving opened the cage up for someone else to have a chance at a loving home.

And now, some good news! Carol Ann was adopted today! A nice older couple came into the shelter looking for a dog that would like to spend lots of time inside with them, and one of our lovely volunteers showed them Carol Ann. She took her out for them and showed how she tried to “hold it” until she was outside. Then she showed them how sweet she is when she’s in her cage – her comfort zone. They fell in love with her and took her home today. Now she’s in a home on a farm! I couldn’t have asked for a better ending than that for her!

I know it's blurry, I borrowed it from the shelter's website! She doesn't like to stay still...

Congratulations to Carol Ann!
