WOOF! You have undoubtedly heard about the rescue efforts which have happened because of Hurricane Michael? Barks, Lab Rescue was one of the dog rescue organizations who went to shelters in the North and South Carolina areas ahead of the storm to rescue dogs who had been lost or abandoned by their humans and ended up at the shelter. My pawsomely grand friend "Lab Lady" brought by this sweetheart for you to meet! Annie May!

Annie May is very shy since so much is new to her! She prefers things to be a bit quieter! She is looking for a "Forever Home" in a rural or suburban single-family home.

WOOF! Annie May is staying with some pawsomely nice pups! One of them thinks she has dirty ears because she washes them every day! Another one always want to play! She goes chasing squirrels with them and is learning how to play with squeaky toys. She is learning about playing fetch too.

Annie May has such pawsomely-learned house manners that her foster Mom allows her to roam around the house when she is out. She loves sleeping on her big round dog bed.

Annie May would love to have a "Forever Home" with other dogs to learn from and play with! She's a bit nervous when it's windy out and doesn't like sudden movements or loud noises.

Annie May thrives on attention! She wants a human(s) who will spend lots of time with her! She loves ear rub and neck massages. Barkingly, she loves being outside and going for walks.

Annie May is good with other dogs she's met, has no known history with cats and is approved for mini-humans ages 10 and older.

WOOF! WOOF! It's so pawsome to catch up with my friend "Miss Joanne" from Operation Paws for Homes! She moved far away and I haven't been able to bark or paw with her in a while! She brought by a pawsomely handsome fella for you to meet! Sears!

Sears is an active fella who is looking for an active human too, paws, be active with him! He can play by himself but loves to play with humans too. He's a master at fetch and tug-of-war!

Barkingly paws, Sears playing with my foster's kitty! Watch their video here! He is very careful with her since she's smaller than him. He is respectful of cats! He gets along with other dogs he's met too.

Though he's a young fella, around 1-year-old, Sears has his housetraining skills pawfected. He finds it a safe place and comfortable.

Sears has learned many basic commands and is a quick learner. He loves to learn tricks and commands, especially when followed by treats!

Barkingly, with proper introductions, Sears does well with humans. He's met mini-humans and loves them. Paws, a home with lots of mini-humans coming and going with lots of loud noises or unexpected activity wouldn't make me as comfortable as I need a quiet and calm environment.

If you would like to learn more about dog adoption, pawlease visit the Operation Paws for Homes Dog Adoption Guide.

Interested in meeting Sears or applying to adopt? Pawlease complete the Operation Paws for Homes Dog Adoption Application.

MEOW! MEOW! It's me Samson! I hope you've had a pawsome week! My pawsome friend "Cat Lady" from PetConnect Rescue brought by a handsome cat named Fezz for you to meet!

Last September, PetConnect Rescue joined other rescues to "clear the shelter" of a West Virginia shelter who had a total of 8 cages hold cats and kittens! Shelter staff are often faced with having to make some very tough decisions but on that day, the shelter staff went home smiling. Paws, so did Fezz.

Fezz is a pawsomely outgoing boy. He loves to meet humans with hugs, he will stand on his hind legs and place his paws around your neck, and headbutts. He's a purr-machine and kneads the air in pawfect contentment. He will even let you cradle him like a baby or slung over your shoulder. Meows, he's happiest receiving affection from his human.

Meow, he will be the happiest being your one-and-only cat too! He wasn't phased when around a cat-friendly-dogs in his foster home.  He enjoys mini-humans of all ages.

If you would like to learn more about adopting a cat from PetConnect Rescue, please visit the PetConnect Rescue Cat Adoption Guide.

If you would like to apply to meet or adopt this handsome fella, pawlease complete the PetConnect Rescue Adoption Application! Once submitted, an Adoption Coordinator will contact you.

Veterinary Technician Week, Oct. 15-19, 2018

"Veterinary Technicians at Ohana Veterinary Care, Bristow, VA"
(C) Welch Photography

Thank You Veterinary Technicians!

WOOF! BARKS! Maybe even a few growls here and there - though my human doesn't like it when I do that and fusses at me to stop - paws, I have to let you know my opinion about going to the Veterinarian! WOOF! 

I am blessed to have to mostest bestest Veterinarian Technicians ever! When I go over there for a physical examination or even another issue, they treat me like their friend. Barks, then, they ask me why I am there. A question I wonder myself but my human quickly answers! We talk a few minutes so they can confirm what medications I am taking, what food I eat, what exercises I am doing, and all about me that they'd ever want to know and then some! BARKS! 

I think these pawsome humans work much like a human's nurse would when they go to the doctor or the hospital. Barkingly, I have to admit, I think the Veterinary Technicians job is more rewarding! WOOF!

October 15 - 19 is Veterinary Technicians Week. I salute all the Veterinary Technicians who works so hard to help maintain the health of the animal's in their care! Barks and paws! 

Dog Adoption!

WOOF! WOOF! It's been a few weeks since I heard from my pawsome friend "Lab Lady" from Lab Rescue. I got worried and concerned about her so I sent an email only to learn she hadn't been getting my emails! Am barkingly happy that she is alright, for "Lab Lady" - this is! WOOF!

WOOF! Harvey and Floyd are looking for a "Forever Home" in a single-family home with a fence! Bark! The pair will need to be adopted together because they are bonded paw pals!

The boys make pawsome company to their foster parents as they alert them to humans coming to the front door.

Harvey and Floyd love snoozing on the couch with regular visits to the backyard wandering and smelling all the scents they can pawssibly sniff! With the cooler weather coming in, the boys like to enjoy more time outside- as much as pawssible.

Harvey loves lying in the warm grass and has a playful side. He loves to play tug-of-war and running in the yard with his foster brother.  Floyd is pawsitively satisfied to watch the antics from his comfy spot on the couch! WOOF! Barks.  Barkingly, occasionally, the pair like to do zoomies in the backyard.

Harvey is the extrovert dog who comes up to you wanting to be petted and have his belly scratched! Barks, Floyd tends to take it all in before allowing new humans to give him scratches and pets. The boys love the comforts of air conditioning to fresh air. Harvey loves chasing tennis balls and playing in the house while Floyd is happy to watch! BARKS!

The boys are older dogs whose demands are few! WOOF!
