Dog of the Week: Rey

Published by Tricia Walker  ~   0

Meet Rey!

By Tricia Walker, Foster Mom

Why did you decide to foster Rey?
Well, I am a total sucker for brindle dogs, but really there is a giant pet over population problem in Georgia. Rey was hit by a car and ended up at Animal Control in Fayetteville. Once her stray hold was up she was going to be euthanized due to her broken leg.

Does Rey have any nicknames?
Yes! Fats, Hippo-Dippo, Fat Puppy, Chub-pub and Mush. She’s a big dog, that’s just her body type, but none of it is muscle.

How would you describe her in three words?
Playful, goofy, loving

What is Rey’s favorite thing?
Chicken fingers.

Describe Rey’s perfect day:
I think that’s pretty easy. She would probably like to go for a run, chase her buddy Bumble Bee around the backyard, go out to eat with us and then end the day with some couch-bone-chewing-snuggle time.

Describe Rey’s ideal family:
Rey would love a family who will include her in whatever they’re doing. She’s also truly good in public and would love it if her family took her to brunch and for walks when the weather is nice. She’s already had a rough start to life and is currently one of several foster dogs, so she needs a family that is going to make her their number one. She loves to be by your side, cuddle, chew her bone and is pretty attentive to her human.

She’s only about two, so she has a lot of playful energy. She loves to play with toys and is pretty obsessed with other dogs. However since she’s a 75 lb puppy, so whoever adopts her will need to work on her manners. She doesn’t always realize how intimidating she is to other dogs and could use some coaching on what appropriate play is.

Overall, whatever family adopts her will be very lucky because there isn’t another dog like Rey.

Dog of the Week: Pennie

Meet Pennie!

By The Tucker Farm, Foster Parents

Pennie is lucky enough to have been fostered by two of our rockstar foster families, The Tucker Farm and Sarita Vaughn. This has made her an even more well-rounded puppy because she’s gotten exposure to different dogs and children.

Why did you decide to foster Pennie?
We love the experience of fostering and the joy each new foster brings to our lives. At only four months old, Pennie and her litter mates have already had to beat parvo. We wanted to give her the shot she deserves to have a great life. Although she is a little reserved at first, she warms up pretty quickly and will give you puppy kisses.

Does your foster dog have any nicknames?
The Tucker Farm kids call her “Puppy”!

How would you describe her in three words?
Sweet, Shy, Gentle

What is her favorite thing?
She loves curling up in laps!

Describe her perfect day:
Pennie loves playing with toys and spending time with our other dogs.

Describe her ideal family:
Pennie would love a family with another dog who also loves toys! She’s also a sucker for kids.

Dog of the Week: Amos

Meet Amos!

By Rebecca Sorrel & Travis Grooms, Foster Parents

Why did you decide to foster Amos?
The rescue got an urgent plea to help Amos. He was 41 pounds (he is now at a perfect weight of 65 pounds) and had a hole in his neck from being attacked by another animal, which caused a bad skin infection on his neck and chest. You couldn’t see his left eye because he was so swollen. He was a forlorn dog and he needed us.

Does he have any nicknames?
Moose, Moosehead, and Meat

How would you describe Amos in three words?
Cuddly, Active, Smart

What is his favorite thing?
Cuddling and getting belly rubs!

Describe Amos’ perfect day:
Amos would love to go to the lake and play fetch with some floatie toys in the water; then, go home for a nice long nap that involves him lying on top of you on the couch.

Describe Amos’ ideal family:
Amos gets along with other dogs and loves children. He would do well with an active and strong owner that will continue to train with him and provide endless cuddles.

Dog of the Week: Bambi

Published by FTTF  ~   0

Meet Bambi!

By Rebecca Sorrel & Travis Grooms, Foster Parents

Why did you decide to foster Bambi?
Bambi and her mom were found in Henry County. Henry County Animal Control does not have an adoption program for pitbulls. On top of that, Bambi was only a few days old which meant her immune system was very weak, which is not good for a newborn puppy. We already had another foster at the time, but she hadn’t even been given a chance at a good life and we wanted to give her that.

Does Bambi have any nicknames?
Bambles, Little Bambino, Bamble Wambles, The Little Golden Nugget

How would you describe her in three words?
Bubbly, Active, Sweet

What is Bambi’s favorite thing?
Being outside!

Describe Bambi’s perfect day:
Going for many walks and playing outside all day, and lots of treats throughout the day.

Describe her ideal family:
Bambi loves other dogs, cats and kids. She would do great in any home that is willing to give her time to adjust to being in a new home and take her for walks in the neighborhood.
