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!

saturday’s shelter pictures

April 15, 2009 – 8:05 PM

I was amazed at the different sizes, colors, and kinds of dogs at the shelter this week. And this week I fell in love with one of the dogs, too. I bet those of you who know me can pick out the one. My assistant, Frank, also had one that he thought was special. Another thing that was amazing was how many brand new ones were there. I am not going to be able to be there for the next two weekends and I already know I am going to miss going. It is such a pleasure to go and meet these incredible dogs each week. Here’s hoping and praying that all of these guys have homes soon! For information about any of these dogs, please visit the Newnan-Coweta Humane Society’s website! two-up8

saturday’s shelter dogs (and a few kittens, too)

April 5, 2009 – 8:10 PM

Saturday I got to go to the Coweta County Animal Shelter with the Newnan-Coweta Humane Society to take pictures of the current dogs. I really missed going last weekend, even though I was having fun in New Orleans. When I woke up last Saturday morning, though, one of the first things I thought was “Oh, I don’t get to take the shelter dogs’ pictures this week.” But I was back this week! And my assistant, Frank (thanks, Frank!) mentioned something that I hadn’t thought about before, that we have such a big variety of dogs that come through there. It shouldn’t be hard for people to find the perfect best friend – there are dogs for everyone! Oh, and by the way, I don’t take pictures of every single dog, so if you are looking for a companion, please visit the Newnan-Coweta Humane Society’s website to see the full selection of wonderful dogs and cats looking for a home.

Speaking of cats, I did get to take a few cat pictures. Mostly they were kittens. One of the pictures below is not the best technically, but the kitten was so little. I have never seen one that young. This one and its siblings were with their mother, who looked worn out after an apparent caesarean.

So here are the dogs (and kittens):

a little behind schedule…

March 26, 2009 – 10:42 PM

But still here. These are this weekend’s shelter dogs. As usual, they were awesome and so beautiful. My son was in town for Spring Break (I know…poor guy. Had to spend it with his Mom) so he went with me Saturday and fell in love with one of these guys. The whole time we were there, he and his “friend” were watching each other. I really think they connected and it kind of made me sad that he is not able to have a dog right now. Almost all of the dogs there were new, and there had been a lot of adoptions during the week, so we were really grateful to hear that news. OK, as usual, if you are interested in adopting or finding out more about these dogs, please visit the Newnan-Coweta Humane Society’s website.

this weekend at the shelter.

March 15, 2009 – 8:14 PM

I was thinking on my way home from the shelter yesterday that it’s just like I guess visiting a jail would be. You have to sign in, can’t take a purse or cell phone. But the difference is that these guys have done nothing wrong. They are all so sweet…and many so scared and confused. And then there are some like the little puppy that was there, that just are so excited to have a few minutes of being the center of attention. Before I started doing this a few weeks ago, to be honest, I’d never visited an animal control shelter. They do a great job there, but there is only so much they can do. I guess it might have been the rain that made me think like that, I don’t know. But these guys were just as adorable and sweet as they could be. And don’t forget, if you are interested in anybody here, please visit Newnan-Coweta Humane Society for adoption information.
