Happy 1st Birthday to Kaiah!

Guess who is turning 1 today? Little baby Kaiah! Can you even believe it? She's such a big girl! Kaiah has really become the All Wags mascot over this past year and we hope you all have enjoyed watching her grow up and will continue watching her grow up as she hangs out at All Wags. She loves being around the pups and loves going back in the back and seeing them. I mean, how could she not, pups are such a huge part of her sweet little life. Check out those gorgeous eyes on the beautiful little girl in pink, perfect! The All Wags family is so happy to have her be a part of it! Be sure to wish Miss Kaiah a very happy birthday!

It's a start!

Monday night our city leaders made some changes that are a step in the right direction for all of the pups out there who are tethered outdoors. Pups who are tethered must now be on a chain that is at least ten feet long. It is now illegal to tether a dog who is younger than four months old. And, the tethered dogs must have easy access to food, water and shelter. It doesn't seem like much, but at least it's a start. The Coalition to Unchain Dogs has been helping to get these rules changed and is happy for this little victory, but there is a lot more to do. Most dogs who are chained, are chained 24/7 and this tends to make dogs more aggressive and is not good for a pup's health. Of course, all of the All Wags puppy parents know this, but there are many who don't. Want to help? Contact the Coalition to Unchain Dogs. They need people to help build fences and help them at events. We may not be able to help every pup, but we can help some and it will make a difference to those pups!

1st Spay/Neuter Transport

So, why does Bailey have such a huge smile? Well, that would be because we helped 7 very lucky pups get spayed/neutered! The first set of pups was picked up from All Wags yesterday morning and transported to the SNIP clinic and their parents were able to pick them up this morning. All 7 pups did fabulous and they are happy and just without a few parts. That's 7 pups who won't be out there creating more pups who need homes, 7 pups who won't be more apt to escape their yards, 7 pups who will be at a lower risk for certain health problems, 7 pups who's behavior will be easier to manage... I'm sure you get the picture, 7 very lucky pups who's lives have been changed for the better. We are so thankful to SNIP for being able to partner with them!

Who's got Team Spirit!

Does your pup have team spirit? Football season is upon us. Are you are your pup ready? Does your pup have gear for your favorite college or NFL team? We would love to see those photos! Check out Miss Ella... Her Daddy loves the Steelers and so does she. They weren't on TV here today, so we'll forgive her for sleeping through the game, but she would have been cheering in her own way if she could have seen it today! Send your photos to Ella's mama, Kelly, and she will be sure to get the photos up on All Wags' Facebook page to show off how fab they look in their gear!

2nd Annual Woofstock

Do you have plans with your pup tomorrow? How about heading out to Woofstock at Amos' Southend? Woofstock is a fabulous festival with shopping, music, food, drinks and, most importantly, you can bring your pup!
