Bark in the Park

Were you one of the lucky ones who came out to see us at Bark in the Park? We hope so because that would make you very lucky. It was a beautiful day and Rural Hill is a gorgeous park! We had a blast handing out treats, talking about All Wags and meeting new friends. Did you and your pups enjoy all of the freebies, raffles and contests? Did anyone bring home a new friend from Bark in the Park? There were so many rescues there with so many adorable pups needing homes. We kind of wanted to take them all! Hope you had a blast this afternoon and, if you didn't get to go, we hope to see you next year!

Can I come live with you?

Hi! My name is Ralph! I got a second chance at having a great life after being brought from the shelter to All Wags. Now, I am lucky enough to be staying at All Wags with all the nice people and other pups. I am a full-blooded bloodhound just like Rosie! The vet thinks I am about 1 year old and I am getting my shots and getting neutered. I'm a really nice guy and people love me, now I just need a forever home. Will you take me home with you? Next time you come to All Wags, ask to meet me. I'd love to meet you and be your new best friend!

Duncan's Cross Country Road Trip

Duncan had been coming to All Wags since 2006, pretty much since the doors opened, and we were sad to see him have to go, but are super happy for him and his family who moved to California. Wouldn't you know that Dunc-a-lunk got to take the coolest trip across the country too to get there. His Dad didn't want Duncan to have to go in the storage area of a plane and he's a bit big to fit in the cabin, so Duncan and his Dad drove from North Carolina to Charlotte and had a great adventure. They saw many of the great sites in our country and Duncan viewed them all from a fabulous back-seat spot amongst boxes and houseplants. What a lucky boy! We'll miss you Duncan, but enjoy your great new life with your very loving Dad! I'm sure you will get plenty of opportunities to play ball in sunny California!

Look forward to a day of puppy play, food, animal rescue, music and tons of fun!

Bark for Life

We had a great turn out for Bark for Life this morning and a great time! Our team raised $710! Thank you to all of you who helped us to reach that goal! We had a great time with all of the pups and enjoyed eating our Chick-fil-a biscuits and TCBY yogurt and a few pups may have gotten a few bites of some of those things too. The pups had a great time walking through uptown Charlotte and it was great seeing the people who stood out to watch the pups go by! We're so glad we could help the American Cancer Society raise money for their awesome cause!

Tyler is a Daddy!

Guess what? Tyler is a Daddy! His son, Eli Alexander Hartsell was born on April 3 at 6:22pm. He came into this world as a long little boy at 22 inches and weighing in at 7 pounds, 3 ounces. He's already started out as a tall boy like his daddy. Next time you see Tyler at All Wags, be sure to congratulate the new daddy. He has many, many sleepless nights in his future, but they are all for the best reason possible. Don't forget to congratulate grandma Karen too. We all know how much she loves grandbabies!

Have you been doing some spring cleaning?

Check out this dog tip from Woof Report:


Now that springtime is here, an annual spring cleaning is likely in your future. And as you sort through things, keep your local animal shelters in mind. Running a shelter on a tiny budget takes creative solutions, which includes gratefully accepting donations of basic, everyday needs. To find out what your community shelters need, give them a call and in the meantime, set aside these often requested items: kennels, carriers, cozy pet beds, bedding and blankets, towels and cleaning supplies such as bleach, sponges, and laundry detergent. And there's more: baby gates, digital cameras, gently used Kongs, dog toys, dog collars and leashes, and various office supplies. 

Hiking pups!

Are you going to be enjoying some outdoor adventures this weekend with your pup? The week's weather has been pretty nasty but the weekend is supposed to be gorgeous! Here is a tip from Fido Dog Treats:
Many of us take our dogs with us when hiking or other extended outdoor activities. In addition to fresh water, dogs on an outdoor journey need to be nourished. But be careful when sharing your treats with your pooch. Although common in the trail mix that we may eat, both raisins and chocolate can be very dangerous to our pets. Plan ahead by bringing along foods that are safe and nutritious for hard-working dogs. Peanut Butter treats provide a high amount of energy and are considered to be irresistible to most dogs. K9 Granola Factory has taken things one step further and they offer all-natural granola treats loaded with carob, honey, and peanut butter. You can also make your own high-energy dog snack foods including peanut butter covered apple chunks.
