Our last feature for adopt a shelter pet month is Tucker! Tucker was adopted from the SPCA of the Triad in NC. When he was adopted it was clear he had a special affinity towards children so when he and his owners moved to GA a few years later they joined CAREing Paws. Now his favorite place to visit is The Schenck School!

Here’s another great adoption story from Kim:
“Ginger arrived at Atlanta Boxer Rescue at 4 mo old with a broken leg from abuse and a belly full of worms. She was immediately taken into surgery and recouped with a loving foster mom. I had a senior dog in hospice at the time but I fell in love with Ginger’s sweet little face and just knew she was my dog, but the timing was bad.
Fast forward 3 months later…I was out of town and saw a message on the ABR volunteer page that Ginger was returned after 10 days for being what she was: a crazy, mouthy, 7 mo old boxer! I jumped at the chance to adopt her!
She has grown into a sprightly 10 yr old who still loves to hike, share my bananas, and share her loving spirit through therapy work.”

Time to feature another one of our amazing rescue pets this month! This time its Beau who was rescued from Hero Rescue when he was just a puppy. His owner Kelly likes to call him a “muttilicious” since he is delicious mixed breed. He has spread lots of love and cheer being a therapy dog!

Our next spotlight for adopt a shelter pet month is Lexi! Lexi was adopted from the Cherokee County Animal Shelter in March of 2019. In the summers of 2021 and 2022 Lexi had to have TPLO surgery on each hind leg, each summer. During both surgeries, the Dr found bb’s/pellets in her legs and removed them. Luckily, it didn’t affect her personality at all, and she’s the sweetest and most loving therapy dog!

October is Adopt a shelter pet month! Throughout the month we will be highlighting our CAREing Paws dogs that were rescued! Up first is Boo! His pregnant mama was rescued from a shelter and at 8 weeks old, the rescue group brought Boo to Pet Smart to look for a home. Christine said she was only there for dog food, but how could she resist those ice blue eyes?

Check out the second picture to see Boo and his Mama!

When we think of pet therapy we tend to think of fun happy events. But, pet therapy also has a way of lifting the spirits of those who have experienced a tragedy. All this week we have therapy teams visiting with people affected by the tragic events at Apalachee High School. We hope that in doing so we are able to assist in the healing process. If you would like to donate to help the staff and families please do so through the Barrow Community Crisis Fund (https://barrowcommunityfoundation.org/barrow-community-crisis-fund/)

We are excited to share that Richard King and Luna will be starting a new READing program at Sara Harp Minter Elementary School this school year! We are so thankful for the outpouring of support we have received from the administration. The school principal created this cozy reading nook, purchased this comfy bean bag chair, and an extra soft bed for Luna. The kids are going to love it!

🚨 New therapy team alert🚨 Kate Frost and Pippa the Siberian cat! Kate said - I’ve done pet therapy in the past with my dog and since having Pippa I recognized her demeanor is right for therapy. It’s also a wonderful way for me to bond with Pippa while helping others.

Annie, the therapy dog partner of our founder Melissa Saul sadly passed on June 12th after 13 amazing years of accompanying Melissa on countless visits as a certified therapy dog. She also assisted Melissa in evaluating new teams for CAREing Paws and enjoyed teaching new pups what it’s like to be a therapy dog.

Thank you Annie for your impact on those you visited and those you helped teach to carry on the torch. CAREing Paws wouldn’t have been the same without you.
