We've been busy!

We've been busy here at ARC for the last few days!

To start with, Charlie and I went off to the shelter on Friday to see about saving some animals from deathrow. I always say that this is one of the best AND the worst parts of rescue. It's great to be able to go in and pull animals that would have otherwise been euthanized. But it's terrible walking out of there, knowing that some of the ones you left behind won't make it out.

Friday, we were able to pull 3 dogs into the rescue, so it was a good day. The first is Molly, a Schnauzer/Poodle (or Schnoodle, just because it's fun saying it) mix. Molly is about 2 years old and while she danced and jumped in her cage, when Charlie walked in, she settled right down. You can tell that she has a lot of energy, but she keeps it contained. She's an adorable little dog with a huge personality. She rode great in the car, walks great on a leash and is the perfect size for a lap dog. Unfortunately, the only camera that I had with me was my cell phone camera. Add to that fact that it was getting to be twilight (not a good time for a mediocre camera) and that she is a dark color and you end up with enclosed picture...it does not do her justice at all.

The other two dogs that we pulled are awaiting pickup by their fosters. Once their fosters get them, send pictures and name them, I'll write all about them. They're great little dogs, too!

The weekend ended on a great note...Chloe, the senior Himalayan cat, was adopted! Chloe was the only cat that wasn't adopted at our CATapalooza event last month and I was saddened by the fact that we couldn't find someone to overlook her age. It turns out, we did...her adopter saw her at the CATapalooza event and couldn't get her out of his head.

All-in-all, it was a great weekend! We have three great new dogs (don't forget to check back for more information on the other two, a Pomeranian and a Chihuahua mix) and we should be getting in a couple of cute kittens, as well!
