Of course Evan was great in class last weekend...

Evan has really been excelling in class lately.  At the shelter he has been much more eager to meet new people and once you get him out of his kennel he walks right up to strangers looking for pets and nuzzles.  I took him out during a volunteer orientation the other day to talk about fostering opportunities.  Evan is a dog we would love to see in a foster home until he can get adopted.  It is quite the commitment because we need a special person who would be willing to continue his training until we found him a forever family, but we would provide them with guidance, support, food, medical, and a crate. 

As a community, we can change this dog's life.  He started off as a stray on Evan's Mill Rd years ago and we hope to see him in a loving home, whether that be permanent or foster by the end of th year.  While he is making great strides here, we know that he will go much further in a more stable and secure environment.  If you would like more information about fostering Evan or any of our other dogs please contact Laura at lmckelvey@pawsatlanta.org.  I would love to set up a time with you to meet him and to discuss his future!

In the picture below Evan is playing with his friend, Nacho, who was just adopted yesterday.  It is an ongoing idea at PAWS that as soon as a dog plays with Evan they are sure to get adopted soon.  This is great for them, but we hate to see Evan watch all his friends go.  Let's make it Evan's turn this time!

Nacho and Evan's Play Date--We all had a blast!

Not Enough Time in a Day

There are so many pets at the shelter, and they all need so much attention.  Thank goodness for volunteers.  Sometimes, depending on the weather, only a few people show up though.  Play groups are always fun, but they are imperative on these days.  We can get a lot more dogs out, they can stay out longer, and they can go to bed sleepy.  In the above picture, Evan is playing with the incredibly sweet Zamora.

 

Evan, Frannie, and I decided to go check out what the vet techs were doing.  We had already run around for some time, but we needed to settle down before Frannie went to Fox 5 and became famous on Good Day Atlanta.

 

 

You can clearly see how happy Evan and Frannie are together!  Okay okay.  They might have also been happy about doing some basic training drills in order to get treats.
