Shelter Sunday: Adoptable Dogs Moved to California Ahead of Hurricane Ida

Greater Good Charities mobilized planes and organized pilots to pick up 60 animals from Louisiana and take them to the Helen Woodward Animal Center near San Diego and the San Diego Humane Society.

Camp Run-A-Mutt volunteers were helpful on the ground with unloading the animals as they arrived.

Kudos to all involved.

Good day, and Good dog!

If you’re a football fan, you might know that Cleveland Browns fans sit in the Dawg Pound endzone and that the team mascot is a Dawg.

So it only makes sense they would use their training camp to encourage dog adoptions. For the 7th year, they have partnered with Sugardale Foods to bring puppies from the NE Ohio SPCA to camp for fans to adopt. Continue reading Shelter Sunday: Cleveland Browns Pound Puppies

Shelter Sunday: Jodi / K-9 Freekz Rescue / Grand Island, NE

Jodi NE

Meet Jodi! Now y’all know how I am about those long hound ears. Someone better go snap her up before I make my way out to Nebraska! Here’s what Jodi’s rescuers have to say about her:

Jodi is a new mama that finished weaning her baby. She is now ready for her own forever home! She’s 2 years old and weighs about 50 lbs. She is people and dog friendly, but seems to have a bit of a prey drive with squirrels, so cats and other tiny animals might not work for her home. She is the most kind and sweet girl with her amazing brown eyes! She is kennel and house trained, but not fully vetted yet, as we need to wait for her milk to dry up before her spay.

Jodi is currently a guest of K-9 Freekz Rescue (love the name!) in Grand Island, Nebraska. If you’re lucky enough to be nearby, please contact K-9 Freekz to learn more about Jodi and all of her friends. Call (402) 525-5900, send an email to [email protected] or fill out an online application.

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Shelter Sunday: Buddy / Loving Paws Adoption Center / Crocker, MO

Buddy MOMeet Buddy! This senior gentleman is a Chocolate Labrador Retriever mix who is neutered and up-to-date on his vaccinations. Here’s what his rescuers have to say about him>

Sweet Buddy spent the first years of his life tied outside 24/7 and was finally given to a neighbor when the people moved. His rescuer took him in and found him an awesome home where he lived in luxury till his owner passed away. He is now back with his rescuer and looking for a home to spend his last days again and comfort with lots of love. Buddy is truly one of the sweetest and funniest dogs! He loves car rides, his walks, absolutely loves bully sticks and bones.
He gets a burst of energy and let’s you know when he is ready to have some fun. He jumps and spins around with a little howling, it makes you giggle. He loves everyone, all sizes and ages. He has been with different dogs and cats, but seems to be dog selective especially toward larger dogs.

Buddy is currently a guest of Loving Paws Adoption Center in Crocker, Missouri. If you’re lucky enough to be nearby, please contact Loving Paws to learn more about Buddy and all of his friends.

Shelter Sunday: Luna / HANDDS To The Rescue / Traverse City, MI

Luna MI

Meet Luna! This beautiful girl is extra large, spayed, and up-to-date on vaccines. Here’s what her rescuers have to say about her:

Luna, a 3 yr old female Mastiff/ Boxer mix, weighs 105 lbs. Luna is housebroken and crate trained, she is closer to Mastiff in size and Boxer in personality. This girl can be quite the clown. She loves just about everyone she meets and enjoys going on walks and saying hi, Luna does not realize how big she is and needs to be reminded not to jump on people when greeting them. Tennis balls and rope toys are her favorite playthings, lounging on the couch is great too! While Luna does get along and likes to play with other dogs similar in size, she tends to get jealous if other dogs are getting attention from her humans, so she needs to be the only dog in the home and have regular play dates set up.
