Then the next day - Sunday, July 17th, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. is a Dog Adopt-a-thon at Superpetz in Troy, OH! 

Allow me to introduce you to some of the great dogs who you can meet at these events!

First up is Bear!  Bear's actually had his very own blog entry on this site - you can read all about him at:

Bear will be at both the Furry Fun Fair and the Adopt-a-thon!

Next up is Ginger!  Ginger is an 8-year-old Sheltie/Chow mix who is spayed and weighs 65 pounds.  She's high energy & very friendly to all - she loves companionship with people and other dogs!  She loves attention & will bark to get it - she will also bark to "protect" her house & yard.  She's good on a leash & doesn't pull, but she needs a fenced in yard because she loves to run!  Ginger will be at both the Furry Fun Fair and the Adopt-a-thon!

This is Chloe, one of the cutest workers at one of the past adopt-a-thons!  Chloe is a 7-year-old spayed female Lab mix who weighs 50 pounds.  She's low energy, loyal, and non-aggressive, and she loves companionship with people!  She needs a little training to walk on a leash but seemed to do okay when I was walking her at the adopt-a-thon - sometimes she tugs because she's so curious to see what's going on!  She jumps a bit when she's excited but she's not a barker.  She's a little shy with strangers & children, but warms up quickly.  It's recommended that Chloe go to a home that has a fenced in yard!  Chloe will be at the Furry Fun Fair only!

Meet Shep (left) and Zoey (right)!  They were saved from euthanization at the Shelby County Animal Shelter and are looking for a good home.  They were rescued together as puppies from a shelter in Florida and lived with their owner in Ohio until a few months ago when the owner had to move & was unable to take them along.  They are definitely bonded - true best friends!  Shep is a 2-year-old neutered male Shepherd mix and Zoey is a 2-year-old spayed female Lab mix.  Both are up-to-date on their shots and are heartworm negative.  They have happy dispositions, high energy, love to play, and get along well with other dogs & people!  They enjoy being indoors or outside, and have good manners, though they could still use a little training with walking on a leash.  Shep and Zoey will be at the Adopt-a-thon only!

Last but not least is Pepper!  She's a 2 or 3-year-old Black Lab who weighs 83 pounds.  She's spayed, up to date on her shots, and is heartworm negative.  She loves to play in water and loves balls!  She enjoys other dogs and is VERY friendly!  She also enjoys car rides and companionship with people.  She is housetrained but is still working on her leash training.  She likes being inside or outside.  She knows "sit" and is learning the "come" command!  She's going to be at the Adopt-a-thon only - this will be her first adopt-a-thon and I can't wait to meet her!

Be sure to come out to these great events this weekend - you never know, your new best friend might be waiting there to meet you!  :)
