Shelter Picture Time

Thought I'd post a few pics of some of our dogs I think you guys would enjoy. I was in a hurry when I took some of them, but I'm planning on getting better pics tomorrow!

This is Radar, a yellow labby boy. He has 2 applications and will be going home this weekend!! I didn't have time to take him out of the kennel for a picture because we were closing down and I just ran in to snap a shot real fast.

Here's Zeyden, a shepherd mix. She's REAL sweet!

These are some Dachshund mix puppies that were abandoned at our door. They're little yappers! I am taking them to a fund raiser tomorrow at Saks Fifth Avenue.

And here's Bear, the gentlest, sweetest dog ever!!! He doesn't pull on his leash, he has wonderful manners, and he'll sit right smack in your lap! He's a big lover. He defines the term 'gentle giant'. His pictures don't do him justice at all. And he's a LOT bigger than he looks. He got adopted today!!!!!!

Loved the pictures!

Bear looks like a sweetie. I think he looks a little like Drake except that Drake is lighter in the face. They both have the fuzzy fluff on the ears :D :D

Oh, Aly, they all look so wonderful. It is obvious that your shelter does a wonderful job caring for these dogs and placing them!! What great success stories you were able to report!! :D

Aly, I'm DYINGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!! OK, I think it's time to step in here and give some "air time" to Radar!!! Star thinks he's a hunka-hunka labby love, and is sending out HER radar and is locking on!!:) And what about those ADORABLE Daschy buttskies!!:D Some of you may know that Star has a tendency to turn me her "best butt side" when being photographed. (As you can see, this started in puppyhood!:D) So take it from a pro, those are some of the cutest little hineys in dogdom!;)

Awww, Star has a cutie patootie!!!!

I had no time to take more pics of the pups today. I took the Dachshunds to Saks Fifth Avenue with me today for several hours for an Outreach/Fund Raising thing. I got SOOO attached to them! My friend who I work with is adopting the only girl (black one). She has another Dachshund at home and is very excited. The boys are SO sweet and they got several applications at the outreach today, all of them are Saks employees!!! By the end of the day, the puppies had lipstick and perfume all over them from being cuddled and kissed by the nice women :)

There's a sweet Golden mix we have at the shelter right now named Honey!! I hope to get some pics of her and some more of the puppies and a few others.

It was actually our old PR person who set it up, but the SAKS here likes to do these type of events every couple of months. There were also other tables set up around the store but of course I got ALL the attention because I had pups! I have no clue what other organizations were at the other booths. Looked like one was making some kind of slushy drink.

It really helped that the puppies didn't have any accidents :o They're only two months old and I was expecting it so I layered their pen with gobs of towels but they were good boys and pottied outside.

I would contact the managers or PR people at several different businesses like SAKS to see if any of them are animal friendly. You may luck out and someone could really love animals and allow you to do it. Another option would be asking if they would allow a booth set up right in front of the store.
