the last two weeks at the shelter…

December 14, 2009 – 7:12 AM

Here are the dogs from the last two weeks. The first two are “sisters” (not really sure if they are real sisters but we think they came from the same place) who desperately need homes. They were at the shelter last weekend and this weekend and they are on “the list” unless they are adopted by tomorrow. Two very sweet, kind of scared (wouldn’t you be?) girls…

And then this little, older sweet girl still does not have a home – she’s as sweet as she can be and just needs a place to feel safe. Such a sweetheart:

And last week, there was a pug girl there…she was adopted by this weekend but she sure was cute. I really could have taken her home. She has a little bit of a Dodie face:

this weekend at the shelter…urgent needs.

October 26, 2009 – 8:06 PM

This weekend I didn’t have a lot of dogs on my list to photograph – most of them had either been there long enough that they have already been photographed or someone else had already photographed them – but the shelter is so full. So full, in fact, that some of these dogs, if not adopted, could be euthanized. Please take a look and if you are at all considering a dog, PLEASE visit the Newnan Coweta Animal Shelter on Selt Road in Newnan BEFORE 4pm tomorrow, Tuesday, October 27. So many sweet, innocent dogs…and they all need a home and a family to love them.

saturday’s shelter dogs

October 4, 2009 – 7:54 PM

Wow…it’s once again been a long time. I almost forgot how to log in to post! I’ve had a lot of things going on personally, but have at least been able to go to the Shelter most Saturdays. This Saturday, there were so many sweet dogs there…so many that didn’t seem like they should be there. Like the 8-year-old Golden Retriever who should be relaxing on a couple of acres, or the dachshund “couple” who were in cages next to each other but couldn’t be put together because they had not been spayed and neutered, and who were so frightened when we went to get them out of the cages for their pictures. And then there was “Buddy”, the big 112-lb. guy that was brought in as we arrived. Sweet as he could be, he just didn’t seem to understand why he was there. And honestly, I don’t either. There are some amazing dogs at the Newnan-Coweta Animal Shelter this week. And all need great forever homes. If you are thinking about getting a dog, I hope you’ll check out your local shelter or rescue organizations before contacting a breeder. There are puppies, young dogs and older dogs just waiting for someone to love them. For more information on these guys, please visit the Newnan-Coweta Humane Society’s website.

whew…it’s been a long time.

August 31, 2009 – 5:01 PM

I hadn’t realized how long it’s been until I was talking to Frank (my Saturday shelter dog handler) the other week. It has been a crazy time, personally, in the last few months, but I’ve gotten a new routine going and am back at the shelter on a regular basis now. I have a couple of months’ worth of stuff I could update with, but decided to catch up on the NCHS pictures for the month of August. I’ll break this into three posts, so that it’s not quite so much in one. Anyway, enjoy the beautiful dogs. They have all been great. There are so many that need homes…please contact the Newnan-Coweta Humane Society for more information.

the shelter in newnan this weekend

May 13, 2009 – 8:45 PM

Another weekend with many different dogs, each one with sweet, soulful eyes (as always). I so look forward to doing this each week – it just really puts things into a different perspective after a week of work, daily problems, and all of the other things that take my attention and worry me. These dogs don’t ask for anything except a home and a person to care about them. And they are so happy for a little bit of diversion. My assistant, Frank, kind of got attached to the dog in the first photos. He was a sweet one, too, and would watch Frank from his cage when we were doing the others’ pictures. Sometimes they do that. It has happened when my son helped us one weekend…one particular dog just connected with him. He wasn’t able to get a dog at that time, but it was sweet to watch. (And luckily and happily, that particular dog did find a home.)

This post is really image-heavy…I just couldn’t leave anybody out.

Please visit the Newnan-Coweta Humane Society’s website for more information on any of these dogs.

This poor baby was so matted that you couldn’t see any legs and there were like pockets of matted hair all over – I can’t even begin to describe it…it was something like you’d see on TV. I am sure they have him all shaved and cleaned up, but it was so sad to see him like that – all he wanted was some attention. Hopefully he’ll get a great home and lots of attention from now on…

newnan-coweta shelter this weekend.

May 4, 2009 – 7:39 PM

I had been out of town two weekends in a row so hadn’t gotten to the shelter. And although I’ve had a blast traveling to Mississippi and Alabama, it was good to be back. Of course, there was a whole different group of dogs this week, just like every week. And as usual, there was a great variety. It never ceases to amaze me. Anyway, as always, if you are interested in any of these available, beautiful dogs (and cats), please visit the Newnan-Coweta Humane Society’s website.

Just wanted to say thanks to my dogsitter and friend, Leonor, for helping out this week. My usual assistant, Frank, was unable to be there. We missed you, Frank – see you this Saturday!

Note about the cat: Most of you know I am not a “cat person” (although they are fascinating to watch…sadly I am allergic) but there was a cat (pictured below) that NEEDS a home badly. She’s been there for a long time and is soooo sweet. She just snuggled and loved on the person holding her and was just as sweet as any cat I’ve ever seen. It would be a horrible shame if she was euthanized so if you or someone you know is looking for a cat, she’d be a perfect one!

and also last weekend.

May 4, 2009 – 7:25 PM

After Pugs on Parade, I was lucky enough to get to spend the night with some amazing APRA volunteers who have a houseful of pets – dogs, cats and birds. And of course, I couldn’t resist taking a few pictures since there were so many adorable subjects just milling around. And these pictures do not represent ALL of the animals…I missed the cats and didn’t want to embarrass the naked bird. And a couple of the dogs were either shy or I didn’t get really great shots of them. Oh well, a great excuse to go back and visit!

So, once again, thanks Ginny and David for the wonderful accommodations, great dinner, tasty wine, and for allowing my pack to hang out with your pack.

and last weekend…pugs on parade, birmingham, al

May 3, 2009 – 8:53 PM

Last weekend was the event that we look forward to all year – Pugs on Parade in Birmingham, Alabama. It is Alabama Pug Rescue’s big fundraiser and it is nothing but fun and pugs all day long. I did a photo booth again this year, just trying to keep it simple. We had pugs, pugs, and more pugs, and then some non-pugs as well. They were all just adorable. And we also got some of the current rescues who are waiting for their forever homes. And as you can see from one of the pictures below, there were big benefits to being my assistant (thank you Steph!)…pug kisses.

This will be a pretty image-heavy post because I can never narrow them down. They are just so cute.

two weekends ago…mississippi

May 3, 2009 – 9:51 AM

So I got to go to Columbus, MS two weekends ago for the Mississippi University for Women’s Alumni Art Show. I had five pieces that were in the show and got to see a lot of old friends and the newly-renovated art building. When I was there, we were in a “temporary” building that ended up being the Art Department’s home for about six years. So it was really exciting to go and see how the renovation turned out. And it was beautiful. Worth the wait.

While I was there, I had to get some dog pictures. One dog that I got to visit and take pictures of was Samson (Sambone if you will). He is a little Yorkie who belongs to my friend, Katie Richard, owner of Image 4 Photography in Columbus. The little puppy is belongs to Katie’s next door neighbor. How cute is she? And of course the Boston Terriers are my son, Josh’s dogs. It was a good dog weekend!
