Adoptable Pets from Animal Care and Control

These guys didn't make it into our newsletter in time, but they very much need good homes. Is your new year's resolution to have more love in your life? I bet these guys would be happy to help you out with that. If you are interested in meeting either Grayson or Paisley, contact Animal Care and Control.

Grayson

A791428

In foster

Chihuahua

Gray/Brown

Neutered Male

2-3 years

19 lbs

Confiscate due to owner abandonment

Meet Grayson... Paws Up he is a fantastic little fellow. His fur is a wonderful grey color and soft like velvet to touch. He is a really cool little dude. He has Cherry Eye in one of his eyes... and I think people over look him because of it...this is easily corrected! Grayson loves to go outside with his people and do the dog thing...sniff...play...run...and explore! He is small at only 17 lbs and still a very young boy with many years of love to give.  He loves to be inside hanging out with his family and getting some love time. He is perfect for inside home or apartment.  He is very very affectionate and loves to, give kisses and snuggle.  Grayson is active and very excited to get out of kennel but once he has relived some energy he calms down. He loves to learn new things... We are working on his leash walking, but because he is small even if he pulls he is easy to handle. He is eager to please and likes to get treats and that makes training easy. He comes when called which is fantastic.  We visit the farm animals at the shelter and he seems to really enjoy that. He likes to go up to the fence and sniff and say hello.  Please come to interact with him and help him to put his best paw forward with his new family.

Paisley did very well during her health check exam. She was tolerant, friendly, and loving the entire time. She is in a foster home with two other cats right now.

Help out pups in need

Do you want to help out pups in need and the people who love them? We are having a food drive this month for the pet food bank at Animal Care and Control. The pet food bank helps people get to keep their pets. Often with a bad economy, extras like dog food can be the first to have to go out of a family's monthly budget. We will be collecting all sorts of dog food; dry food, wet food, treats, etc. There is a box in the lobby. Please donate what you can and just bring them when you come to All Wags!

January Issue of the All Wags Newsletter

The January issue of the All Wags newsletter has been posted to the website, and you should have received  it to your email also. If you didn't receive it to your email, will you let us know? That means we don't have your email address and we certainly don't want you to miss out any emails from All Wags. We have two dog families of the month, 4 very special pups in total. There are also a lot of adoptable dogs this month, one who has been living at All Wags for quite a few months now waiting for his forever home and he is ready for love! Don't miss this month's coupon, $15 baths to get those pups cleaned. Happy New Year! Go 2011!

Want to get in one more tax deduction before the end of the year?

Are you looking to get in one more tax deduction before the end of the year? Consider a tax-deductible charitable donation to an animal welfare group. The Humane Society of the United States has a goal of raising $1.2 million by the time the clock strikes midnight tonight and they are pretty close. You can help them reach that goal and help out animals all over our country by clicking here. Want to keep your donations more local? Then how about a local animal rescue, The Humane Society of Charlotte and Hounds4Heroes both accept online donations so you can get them in today still so it would count toward 2010. Do you have any suggestions for organizations? Please share!

Not sure if the story is true, but the photo sure is cute!

We got emailed this story and photo and story today and who knows if the story if even true but the photo is adorable and definitely worth sharing! The supposed story behind this photo is that a dog-owner in Maryland came home from work to find this scene and figures that the fawn followed the dog into the house through the doggie door. It seem possible, we guess, but more importantly the fawn and the dog snuggled up together are just adorable! If anyone has any way to verify this story, let us know, something interesting definitely happened here!

Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night!

We hope that you have had a delightful Christmas Day with your pups (or, if your pups are staying with us, we hope that you are enjoying your time away with other loved ones)! What sort of special stuff did you do for your pups today? Any fabulous presents or special meals? We'd love to know! We love hearing all about the All Wags pups' fabulous lives. Did your pup get their Christmas gift from All Wags? Please let us know if not. Dookie here is loving his new toy and his mama says that he hasn't put it down since he got it. Don't you just love the sound of your pup squeaking a new toy? It's definitely music to our ears, the music of puppy joy!

Holiday Hours

We hope that you are all enjoying your Christmas Eve! All Wags is closed today for daycare but we will be open for boarding drop-offs if your pup will be spending Christmas with us. Tomorrow on Christmas day we are going to be closed and won't be doing drop-offs or pick-ups from boarding. We will be busy celebrating Christmas with the boarding pups all day and getting lots of Christmas snuggles! For New Years next weekend, we are going to be open for a regular day on New Years Eve and then we will be closed on New Years Day. As always, if you have questions, please ask! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
