Mabe and Maria – From Dumpster Dog to Certified Therapy Dog!
“A few years back a lady brought to the the Humane Society of Northwest GA, 5 pit bull mix puppies that she found in a garbage dumpster. Three were adopted quickly, the fourth a year later, and finally the last one “Mabe” much later. Mabe just passed her CGC and Therapy Dog Certification from Therapy Dog International. Mabe came from being thrown away in a dumpster to providing patients in the hospital with healing. A great testimonial for pit bulls and for rescue dogs.” Micky Burrows
Update on one of our favorites- Zoey!
Here is an update on one of our favorites- Zoey, or as we knew her Lacy or Lazy. Nathan reports that she is doing great and really coming out of her shell. She listens well to verbal commands and he lets her spend time off leash while she is in the yard. She is a bed hog, and not allowed in the bed, however during thunderstorms, Nathan says she is coming in the bed and he has no say in the matter! (Makes me feel bad when I think about her on the hill during storms…) Looks like Zoey is enjoying her soft bed and lots of toys- I am so glad that she is pampered! Nathan and Zoey send hellos to all the HS volunteers and were sorry to miss the Strut, but Nathan volunteers at a sports camp in Alabama that weekend and couldn’t be there. They promise to visit soon!
Millie Says “Thank You” for her new home and sends her best to the HSNWGA!
“Hi there,
Summer is more than halfway over, and Millie has enjoyed every minute of her Cape Cod vacation. She loves the screen porch where she rests up from her activities. Here she is just back from a walk to the beach surrounded by her “people”. She is also going to school;… she has proven to be a very fast learner. We’re now working on heeling which works better in the classroom than it does outside where she is tempted by the multitude of bunnies that seem to be taking over our neighborhood.
She sends her best to all…” B.
