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…

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!
