Belly Rubs and Bakery Samples

A volunteer and I went to visit Skye at Taj Ma Hound yesterday, and she was so excited to see us and show off her new life.  She kept rolling over for belly rubs.  She looked so happy and so healthy.  Her coat was shiney and soft like velvet.

 

 

Skye is available for ADOPTION!  Please let your friends and family know about her.

 

 

 

 

Skye is at Taj Ma Hound!

If you are in Oakhurst today, you should stop by the dog bakery to meet Skye!  She is hanging out, enjoying the delicious smells and company.

When she is home she is bonding and even napping with Jon.  The training that Jon and Elizabeth are doing is really going a long way.

Please share Skye's story with your friends and family!  Contact Laura at lmckelvey@pawsatlanta.org for more information.

The Exciting Month of May

Skye has come so far in her foster home in such a short period of time.  Elizabeth and Jon have been absolutely amazing.  They have worked very hard to help her get the essentials she will need to go into a loving home, including housebreaking.  She is still working on it, but we are seeing progress!  A wonderful trainer named JD gave us lots of good advice and how to train her in the home.  One of the things Elizabeth and Jon are doing is feeding Skye in different parts of the house and dropping treats throughout the house so that Skye does not want to go to the bathroom inside.  They are taking her out often and praising her when she does go outside.  Many people are under the mistaken impression that adult dogs cannot be trained, but that is not true.  They love to learn and find security in routine.

But life cannot be all work and no play!  She spends a lot of time getting spoiled--licking the last bit of peanut butter out of the jar, playing with other pups at the park, and chewing on sticks.  She is very attached to Elizabeth and does not want to leave her side for anything.

Skye LOVES playing with dogs her size and smaller, but she will play with larger dogs if they are the ones available.  She lives with a real big fella.

Make sure to look out for Skye in Atlanta Intown Newspaper this month!  She is their featured pet, and she couldn't be more beautiful.  You can grab a free newspaper at many Atlanta restaurants and bookstores.  I always get mine at the pizza place in East Atlanta!

Skye loves her foster family, but she really needs a permanent home.  Please share this blog with your friends and family.  Skye is a sweet, beautiful pup, with a coat of velvet.  Someone will be very lucky to be loved by her.  lmckelvey@pawsatlanta.org
