Sunday's Loveable Furballs - 8

You've heard the phrase it's raining cats and dogs, right? Well, Clay County Animal Care and Control is flooded. They are busting at the seams and in need of adopters, fosters, or rescue groups to help get their animals out.

Clay County is a kill shelter that is trying their hardest to do that as a last resort. So, considers helping save a life by adopting from them. One animal out helps another live an extra day. Their shelter is out in the middle of no where. (Really, you'll probably think you're lost trying to find the place). They also have an adoption center in Fleming Island where you can meet potential family members and ask about the others at the shelter.

Namath and I try to volunteer here once a month, it's almost an hour drive for us to get there. We've met a lot of great dogs and people from Friends of Clay County Animals (FOCCA). If you can't adopt from them, please consider adopting from else where when you want a fur baby. Adoption is the best option!

Did you save your fur baby from death row?

Here are some great pups courtesy of Pavlina Sanborn Photography. This amazing pet photographer volunteers her time to help get beautiful photos of animals needing homes.


Tally: She's about 7 and was dropped off by her owner for being too old. Jerk off... She's very sweet and hates being at the shelter. It's making her upset. Maybe you want to take her home?

 

Blitzen: He's about 2 and super smart.  He's kind of in his punky teenage stage, so he'd really do well with some obedience training. He will work for treats!

 

Daisy: She's about 2 and loves the tennis ball and treats.  

Sunday's Loveable Furballs - 7

We were dog walking machines this weekend. Namath was able to get today off, so we went twice this weekend instead of our usual Saturday. Since it is a holiday weekend, a lot of people go on mini trips, so there weren't as many people as usual.   We tried to walk as many as we could the few hours we could go. It has been great weather wise and we were able to meet a lot of new dogs.  :)

This week's Love Furballs is dedicated to a couple of the long term residents.

*Click on their names to see 'em on the Humane Society's Page*

Mekha:

She's a nice girl. Her appearance makes me laugh. :)  She can sit and walk nicely on a leash. Mekha doesn't care for other dogs, so she should be an only child.

 

Faith:

Here is the another Faith. She's been here for a while and hates it. :( Faith hates having to go back into her kennel. She can be a little bit aloof when you first meet her, but super loving once she warms up to you. She can walk nicely on a leash and can sit and likes to play. Isn't she pretty?

 

 

 

 

Sophia:

Want a dog you can take on a boat or the beach? Sophia is your gal. She LOVES the water! Sophia is a newer dog, so I don't know too much about her...BUT she's sweet, loves to play, be loved on and the water. Put out a kiddie pool and she'll jump right in.

AWESOME NEWS:

 

Benny!

 

Charlie!

 

 

Love to OKC

We made donations to the Central Oklahoma Humane Society and Central Oklahoma Chapter of the Red Cross. I hope you find a way to show love an support to those in need.  Every little bit helps make a difference in a life, big or small.

Sunday's Loveable Furballs - 6

Any animal over six months is free! 

There were a lot of new faces this weekend. I can only hope they find homes soon.  The Jacksonville Humane Society is going to be a participant in the Rachael Ray 100k Challenge.  I'm hoping we can be top competitive shelter. :)

Tippy:

A sweet hound dog and pretty too! Tippy walks nicely on a leash. She loves to sniff everything. :)

Gus:

Handsome and smart! Gus can fetch, sit, shake and stay. He likes to play even if he's a little "older." Age is a state of mind, right?

Layla:

This sweetheart is one of my new favorites. She's sweet and laid back.  I think she might have been used to pop out babies, but not anymore! Now she can focus on being a great dog. :)  I love her eyes and under bite. 

Great News: 

Faith is recovering nicely.  She's now eligible for adoption again.

Sunday's Loveable Furballs - 4

Even though it was raining all weekend, we managed to get quite a few pups walked before it started to pour. There are a lot of new wiggly butts we are getting to know. :) 

*Click on their names to see 'em on the Humane Society's Page*

James:

He's a young pup (about ten months old).  James is sweet, silly and loves to play.  He's learning to walk better on a leash and could use some training.  James is willing to do anything for a treat!

 

Pretty Girl:

Pretty Girl is a young mommy who is now ready to go home with someone.  She's super sweet and willing to give lots of kisses. 

Charlie:

Here's another sweet old man.  Charlie is super laid back and loves tummy rubs!  If you want a chill companion, he'd be perfect for you.

Great News:  

One of my faves, Jeannie!

Bad News:

Sweet girl Faith was returned with a dislocated hip. :(  She is recovering in the hospital.  Namath and I went to visit and give her some love.  She's sooo loving.  Tail wagging even though she's hurting.  People make me so mad. I hope someone is willing to give her a wonderful spoiled life once she's out of recovery.

Sunday's Lovable Furballs - 3

It's a little late posting, but this weekend wore me out. :) 

The Humane Society had a big event this weekend. All of the animals were $25.   I went out both Saturday and Sunday to walk dogs.  
A lot of fur babies were adopted, but here are some that weren't.

Ginger:

She's so sweet and quick to give kisses.  She's a little shy at first, but warms up quickly. Isn't Ginger a pretty pup?

Queen:

She's a sweetie and walks well on the leash.  I just met her on Saturday and enjoyed my walk with her.

Janice:

She's a young mama who had a litter not too long ago.  She's sweet and loves to gives kisses and is real curious about what goes on around her.  Janice also loves to play and will go to town on a toy. :)

AND for some awesomeness...Here are the adopted bunch! I hope they found good home and won't be returned. (Yes, people do that)  I will find out this weekend.  Here's to happy thoughts.

Jeffrey 

I was sooo happy to see him with a family, and lucky enough to get some goodbye lovin'.

Dexter

Sunday's Loveable Furballs #2

The rain this weekend sucked.  Not a lot of people came out to walk the doggies in the morning when we went.  We tried walking as many as we could. Luckily, the rain let up for a couple of hours.

Here are a couple of great dogs we walked this weekend.  If you are in the area an looking for a doggy, please check these pups out.  If you are looking for a kitty, they have loads of cuties.  I cannot play with them because I'm allergic, but Namath is sure to tell them "Hello" when we come in. :)

*Click on their names to see 'em on the Humane Society's Page*

DEXTER:

He can sit, and play fetch. He's super sweet and walked nicely on the leash.  He loves belly rubs. Dexter does like to jump up on you, but he's still young, so some obedience classes would be great.

 JEFFREY:

He is a smartie pants.  Jeffrey can sit, play fetch, shake, lay down and stay. He loves to play like a puppy.  And I know I said ATREYU probably would sound like Morgan Freeman, well Jeffrey would sound like Ron Perlman. Look at that jaw line!  Jeffrey has a great disposition and would be a great dog, even if he's a distinguished old man.  He's one of our favorites, and we hope everyday that someone will see how great he is.  Seriously, if we had the space, and he and Kodee (we aren't sure how Kodee is with other doggies) got along, he'd be home with us! Stop by and give him some love!

JEANNIE:

All she wants to lovin'. She's super sweet and laid back. Jeannie would rather cuddle up with you than run around playing.  Need a great reading buddy? I'm sure she'd be perfect to curl up with.  :) 

LUCAN:

He walks nicely on a leash and loves to play.  He has lots of energy and loves running around.  Lucan loves to sit for a treat.

Sunday's Loveable Furballs

Walking the dogs at the Humane Society for the past couple of months has been lots of fun.  We used to go a couple of times a week, but now with Kodee we can't go as much.  Namath and I do make the time to come every Saturday morning.  

The Jacksonville Humane Society is a no kill shelter and they are working on building a bigger shelter once they raise enough money.  That will be so awesome.  

Here are a couple of great dogs we walked this weekend.  If you are in the area an looking for a doggy, please check these pups out.  If you are looking for a kitty, they have loads of cuties.  I cannot play with them because I'm allergic, but Namath is sure to tell them "Hello" when we come in. :)

FAITH:

She was hard to get a picture of because all she wanted to do was cuddle. :)  She's super sweet and can sit and walks pretty good on a leash. Faith LOVES hugs and gives lots of kisses in return.  She looks like she could be Kodee's long lost mommy.

JEREMY:

Isn't he pretty?  He's super sweet and rather gentle.  He loves to chase tennis balls, but doesn't like to give them back. He will come back to show you he got it though. :)  So far he can sit and walks nicely on a leash.

ATREYU:

He's a sweet old man.  (Don't forget, old dogs need loving homes too.) I envision him having a voice like Morgan Freeman.  He's laid back and loves for you to love on him.  He'd make a great movie watching companion.

MAGGIE:

Maggie had such a bad case of mange when she came in.  She had to wear a little vest to stay warm! Her hair is growing back, and as you can see, she's going to be oh so cute.  :)  Look at those golden honey eyes.  She's a super sweet pup.

I'm going to start posting every Sunday in hopes it might help an animal find a home.

Last week, a couple asked me about a dog, and I told them all about him...Next thing I know, he wasn't there on Saturday. Yay!!
