Charlotte Dogs Publication Party

We all know and agree that Charlotte Dogs are especially special and now there is a book to showcase them and prove it! Charlotte Dogs is a book of essays and photos that were contributed by pups and their owners and compiled together. Maddie, an All Wags pup who went to the Rainbow Bridge in 2008, is one of those pups who is featured in the book. Park Road Books is having a publication party for the release of the book this Saturday, November 20th at 10:30am and you and your pups are invited to come out and celebrate. The editor and many of the featured dogs will be in attendance and you will also be able to purchase a copy of the book. Let's celebrate Charlotte Dogs!

Some doggie humor for your midweek delight...

Anyone who has a pup who likes to eat random things can get a good laugh at this one... Especially if you need a laugh after paying a vet bill because of that swallowing... I'm sure all dog owners can relate, though! We love them and they are worth every penny! What is the strangest thing your pup has ever swallowed? Do you have any hilarious stories? Hopefully, no one can compare to poor Randy here in this cartoon!

National Shelter Appreciation Week

In celebration of National Shelter Appreciation Week, November 7-13, The Humane Society of Charlotte is waiving the adoption fees on thirteen of its most special residents.  Four dogs have found their forever homes so far this week.  Four more dogs and five cats have been at the shelter far too long, and are in need of loving homes.  Please come and visit them.

Staff at the shelter will be on hand to provide detailed information about all adoptable animals to potential adopters. In addition to the waived adoption fees, these featured cats and dogs will be spayed or neutered, tested for heartworm (canines) or Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), vaccinated, and receive 30 days of complimentary pet insurance, microchip identification and a bag of pet food. Based on a ten day stay at the shelter, these services are valued at $750.
National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week is a perfect opportunity for community members to become acquainted with their local shelter and to help homeless pets.  
Even if you are not able to adopt a pet at this time, National Shelter Appreciation Week is a great time to show your support by making a donation to help the Humane Society of Charlotte.

Happy Birthday, Golly!

Golly is having quite an amazing week! First he was featured in the All Wags newsletter as one of our dogs of the month along with his brother, Willie, and then he had a birthday. I mean, right, what an amazing week. Of course, we celebrated at All Wags. Golly got to wear a fabulous birthday hat and we snapped this adorable photo. Plus, Golly's mama got a magnet of this photo to celebrate. For those puppy parents reading this who are new to All Wags and your pup hasn't celebrated a birthday with us, look forward to your pup bringing a home a magnet to you on their birthday for you to cherish.

How about some Pepsi?

On of our All Wags employees, Brandon, transformed Pepsi into Pepsi on Saturday! How adorable is that?! He had a 2 hour lunch break, an empty Pepsi box, masking tape, scissors and, of course, Pepsi the dog! Pepsi looks quite content in that Pepsi box costume too, don't you think? Quite a creative and ingenious bit of cuteness we'd say...
