Easter Adoption Event

Happy early Easter to our followers!!

We had our second adoption event today. We arrived to find a greyhound rescue all set up with some wonderful, very sweet greyhounds also looking for homes. Susan, one of our foster mommies has wanted a greyhound for ages and was just ga-ga over them!

We also had Laura, our adoptions coordinator and Bridgette, another of our foster mommies meet us there. Susan brought her granddaughter along and she was a huge help, walking and loving on the dogs!

We had a person volunteer to help us out on adoptions days that came by to meet us. She and her husband have been helping with transports, another phenomenal way to help homeless pets if you don't have room or time for fostering. She will be stopping by next weekend and we're very excited.

On this trip we brought along Randy, Star, Lucky, and Andy and Barney again. Gracie stayed home but Bridgette brought along Alvin, the dog she's been fostering since last fall. Alvin is what I call a Kentucky Brown Dog. We think he's got some beagle and cattle dog in him, but we're not sure what else is in the mix. We've pulled more than half a dozen dogs exactly like him from the same shelter in Kentucky.

We had a lot of interest in Randy and Star again and I was so hopeful that tonight they'd finally be able to spend the night in their own bed, their own home, with their own family, but it just wasn't meant to be.

A lot of people thought the others were all cute and they were taken out and walked and played with quite a bit, but an adoption was not meant to be had today.

We did have a wonderful man come in and donate a large bag of dog food and a large bag of cat food and leave his phone number for us in case we ever needed anything else. He said he'd love to have a dog but his schedule just won't allow it right now so this is his way of helping. What a wonderful guy!!

We're back home and all the dogs are once again settled back in to their places. Dinner has been served, everyone has had a walk. The little dogs are all ready to be put in bed for night-time. The big dogs have found their beds and special places they like to sleep. Mornings always come pretty early for us, so we'll be getting ready to turn the lights out soon. We'll dream that at least a couple fur kids can find their forever homes this week so we can go save some more from the euthanasia lines at the shelters.

We'll be back at the Petco in Murfreesboro in The Avenue shopping plaza next Saturday from 11 through 4. We're bringing along some new dogs next week of all goes well. We've got all sizes and breeds, colors and ages. Stop in and see us!
