The Georgetown Dish covered Saturday’s Doga event!
First, a confession, I almost didn’t post the link because I really don’t like the photo of me. There were about ten photos taken but little Daffie just did not want to look at the camera. I guess I’d rather the cat look cute and me look odd than the other way around, but oh, my vanity!
The event was a lot of fun, despite the insanely hot day. We had Gaby, a full-blooded-with-papers German Shepherd who was surrendered by her owners. We figured out that her coat problems were because of a corn allergy and her new coat is growing in nicely. She’ll still look like a German Shepherd/Wolverine crossbreed for a few weeks though until the new growth comes in completely. She absolutely loves people but got stressed and overwhelmed by the dogs so she got to chill on the RV with ice water for the second half of the event.
I spent most of the day in the cat room with 4 awesome cats, including Daffie who got a great application that day so should be going home soon! One of the cats we brought was Cindy, a super affectionate little girl who has only one eye. When she first came to the shelter, she had an ulcer in one eye and the vets were unable to treat it. However, they were able to successfully amputate her eye and now, this little girl is happier than ever. She loved headbutting people and purring while being petted.
Hopefully someone will read that Dish article and come to the shelter to meet some of our animals. The events are great fun for most of the animals, but what we really want is for them to find their furever family.
That's great publicity… and folks ARE looking at the critters, not the humans, so take heart! (PS, you look just fine… we're always so critical of ourselves!).
So glad to hear Daffie had a good app. And I just know Cindy abd Gabby will find good homes, too. Caroline at Catonsville Cats had a one eyed sweetie in her facility who found a nice bean quite quickly!
