My post…

Loads and loads of dogs every year face euthanization because humans like Ashley and Alison don’t adopt them.  That is why I wanted to write about October being the American Humane Association’s Adopt a Dog Month.  There are so many great shelters in Atlanta that are overflowing with pups in need – who may not be as cute as me - but who need a loving home.  There is a pup in our neighborhood, Buster, who needs adopting.  His picture is showcased below.  If you would like to help him, please contact his foster parent at aatosca@bellsouth.net. 

Other than that, please visit these great shelters for more information about adopting pups in Atlanta.  Atlanta Pet Rescue, Paws Atlanta, and Atlanta Humane Society.  There are many others, but these are the ones I chose to highlight. 

I hope someone ends up taking Buster.  He is a good, sweet boy who likes kids, laps, and walking.

I love the Kirkwood Feed and Seed located on Hosea Williams Drive in [tag]Kirkwood[/tag].  Joann, the owner, has opened her arms – and doors - to rescue groups, vaccination clinics, pet training events, and so much more.  She offers lots of great treats, toys, collars, and organic and healthy food for cats and dogs.  (Brutus loves the Chicken Soup for the Dog’s Soul selection of dry food.)   You can bathe your dogs in the “Doggy Swimmin’ Holes” or let one of her groomers do it for you.  Point being, it is a wonderful, local, friendly place to get all your pets’ needs.  It is a tad more pricey than a big box pet shop, but hey, supporting locally owned shops in your neighborhood(s) is what it is all about.  Go visit and enjoy running into one of the store’s resident cats, Fred and Ginger.  (Pictured below is sweet Ginger.)
