While most of our dogs found holiday fosters, a few were still behind. However, our dedicated volunteers and staff have gone the extra mile to provide enrichment for them. Volunteer Ginny reported: “I’m so proud of Kade after our field trip today! He is a pro in the car and tried out every seat. He was even dozing off by the time we headed back. We went to see our friends at Nashville Pet Products. He greeted everyone with tail wags, showed off his “sit” in exchange for some cookies and even did ok around the shop cats. He was very interested in them, but was easy to redirect and quickly went back to exploring other aisles. He was not phased by all the hustle and bustle of the shopping center including running kids, small dogs, cars and shopping carts. He was appropriately curious but followed my queues when I kept space and never fixated or tried to drag me around. We stopped by Hank’s coffee shop and did a little photo shoot in his pjs, he genuinely seemed to like them and made it very easy from me to put them on and off 😂 He is a strong boy, but he kept a very happy and calm temperment and was an all around great adventure buddy”
Stop by to meet Kade on Monday when we reopen at 10am!

UPDATE: Slate has been adopted! Thank you foster family!

Holiday foster update: Slate

Here’s what his foster family reported: “Everything is going great. He gets along great with Casper and loves playing. He likes toys but soft toys are definitely out. He will pick up anything off the floor, so we have to be super careful. He’s going well on the leash and is beginning to lay down and chill. He has only had two accidents in the house but he was standing by the door. He gives cues just have to be quick to respond. No food or water aggression. He loves riding in the car”

It’s the little details that are absolutely worth their weight in gold. Slate is one of our longer term dogs and we have learned so much more about him from his holiday fosters! It also brings much joy for volunteers and staff to see our pets enjoying themselves. ❤️ Many thanks to all the foster families for sharing their experiences!

Holiday foster update: Rocco

His foster writes: “I wanted to share a few pictures of Rocco. He is the sweetest boy. He knows how to walk on a leash, he is house trained, and sleeps in his crate all night!! He also loves to fetch the tennis ball and likes to go on long walks in the woods. He also loves to play with the cat😂 I could go on… he is not destructive, is laid-back, and loves his bed. He is great with our kiddos.”

We love seeing our pets enjoying their vacation! We are closed today, but will reopen on Monday morning at 10am!

Holiday foster update: Titan

His foster reports: “We’ve been enjoying having Titan here with our family! He’s an awesome pup who loves to be with my teenage sons, is house trained, walks/heels well, sleeps 9-10 hrs in his crate, plays fetch, couch naps with me, loves squeaky toys and earning treats. He’s kept me safe from backyard deer and the neighbors golden retriever 🤣. My senior dog is tolerating him now 😊. If my husband would let me have two dogs when not on school breaks, we would scoop him up!”
