100 Dogs – 100 new chances at life
Wicked
It’s hard to believe all the destruction in the past few years caused by natural disasters, so many wicked storms…. lives, homes, neighborhoods, families.. destroyed. I’m sending prayers and healing thoughts today to those affected by the storms and tornadoes out west. My sisters son, wife and new baby boy were in a closet in Arkansas last night waiting out a storm, I’m hoping all are OK today.
A few Dog Days pictures from this past weekend of families with their adopted dogs below…
Mediterranean Turkey Burgers and a DD update
We’ve had another successful Dog Days Adoption Event! I did not take pictures during the weekend because I was too busy with the adoption interview process, that was my roll this weekend. It’s not an easy job because sometimes I know the people and the dog they think they want are not a good match. I did turn two people away because they were unable to give any references, and we insist on those before we let the adoption go through. I don’t like to disappoint or hurt people’s feelings, but our first priority it the well being of the dog. When they don’t understand that and get angry, they weren’t the right people to adopt anyway, in my opinion.
There was another photographer on site, I’ll post some of the adoption stories once she has posted her pics. There were many tears of joy, for sure.
For now I’ll share with you this great turkey burger recipe I got from Joey of The Fitness Connection a while back. Made it last night and it was delicious after eating crap all weekend on the fly. The photographs are not mine, but show you the variation of how you can serve turkey burgers.
And.. we’re ready to GO DOG DAYS, GO!!!
Yesterday was take-in day… the transports come from down South with their shelter/rescued dogs. The local shelter dogs will be brought in this morning. Southern Rescuers and dogs are thoroughly exhausted by the time they get to us. We’ve got paperwork ready and the local vet on hand to check each and every dog out, plus check their paperwork to verify they have all their innoculations and de-worming and are neutered or spayed. All are a requirement to come to Dog days. We charge absolutely nothing for entry or adoption, that’s why we’re always fund raising to hold these events. Here are some pictures as we went through that process…
Kennels set up at site, disinfected, name and information of each dog attached to it’s cage.
