LJ spies an urban future |
Today marked the beginning of exciting times for 12 of The Animal Shelter's small dogs and puppies! These little ones are embarking on new lives in Hotlanta as part of a new partnership between the shelter and the Atlanta Humane Society.
A 95-mile drive is all that separated these dogs from being one of many to the rare jewels we know them to be.
What to do?
Climb in the van.
Board and staff members happily readied and loaded up their charges for their adventure, trucking them across state line and time line (the dogs need to reset their internal clocks to Eastern!).
Waiting for Check-in |
Each new city-slicker waited their turn to be checked over and checked in. After spay/neuter, they are up for adoption!
Be Part of the Excitement!
Up to 20 of our unadopted little ones can transfer to AHS on a monthly basis! The puppies need to be fostered for 2 weeks before their trip. Think about it - 2 weeks of puppy love! Yet no worrying about the chewing, or housetraining, or leash training to come. Can you foster puppies for a 2-week period? Please submit a volunteer application!! You will then receive further instructions on program requirements.
