Olivia was Adopted-- Yeah!!!!! :)

I am so happy for her. What a sweet, gentle little dog-- I am so glad she found a great home!!! :) I spoke to one of her vet techs this morning and apparently Olivia's condition was genetic. It was not contagious to either humans or dogs, but she will need monthly treatment for the rest of her life. I am so glad someone has taken her in-- she's a lovely dog and deserves great life! :)

Here's another little cutie I have spent time with at the Savannah Human Society :) His name is Pokie! (he's a shepard/husky mix :)

I've taken this guy on a walk and also spent time brushing him and hugging him. He is a lovable dog who seemed to want petting and hugs even more than the brushing!-- what a sweetie!!! At one point this morning he had both his arms on my shoulders while I petted him :)-- what a cute doggie!!!! He will be at the doggie carnival in Forsyth Park tomorrow too it looks like-- I hope someone gives him a great home!

I Started Volunteering at the Humane Society!!!


If there is one thing I may love even more than art, it is dogs!!! Seriously, if I had any skills in science I would have become a veterinarian or something. I just love doggies!!!!

To get my dog fix, I decided to start volunteering at the local humane society here in Savannah, GA. So far I walk the dogs, and pet and hug them :) They are so sweet and need lots of love. (so if anyone in Savannah needs a dog, they have a lot of sweeties)!!!

I am particularly fond of "underdogs"...you know, the ugly and or disabled dogs...I just can't help myself. This photo is a stock photo, but I thought it was appropriate. I am especially fond of this dog at the Savannah Humane Society named Olivia. She is a sweet little dog that once had a severe case of mange. She has been there a few months and no one yet has adopted her :(...I know she had mange because at one point on her cage was a photo of how she looked-- like a burn victim. Natually my heart went out to her. She is now cured of the mange, but has a bit of the scarring and may not be as cute as other dogs. She is so sweet though, and needs a good home.

I currently live in an apt where I can't have pets, but I would love to adopt her!! I hope someone does-- she's such a sweetie!!!
