I'm trying to get the word out before I publish this in papers, but I wanted to see if anyone is interested (or know of anyone interested) in a free AKC registered with papers, fawn Boxer. He's almost 3 years old (August), weighs 95 pounds, neutered and house trained. However, there is a reason we are offering him free (going through it all so you have all the answers you need in one email). He goes to the bathroom a lot and it seems like every 3-hours he needs to go. He will tell you, but if you don't take him out within 15 minutes of him "telling you", you may have a mess on your hands. He is crate trained, but has been known to have accidents in the crate too (just urine). He hasn't had a crate accident in a while though. He can also be a nervous dog and has been that way since he was a puppy. Because he is so nervous, you have to really pace him with the water he intakes. He will gulp a whole bowl in one drink if I let him and that sometimes causes air bubbles and it will come back up because his stomach is sensitive. When I give him water, I pace him and force him to drink slower. We had to discuss this with the Vet and that was the resolution--pace him or put a huge rock in his water so he has to work to get to it (that was over the top for me and he'd end up eating the rock). I was told Boxers have one of two traits--nervous or a big baby.... he's both! He will bark like he's a real dog, but he's kind of wimpy. He's a good guard dog by sight, but don't expect him to actually do anything cause he's a big baby. He scares people if strangers walk up to the door, which usually does the job (if they only knew!!). He also has Alopecia. Sounds bad, but all it means is that he is bald on his sides. This is another trait Boxers are known for. It's not contagious, not painful, not itchy, not a bug or parasite, not anything--just bald. It's the same baldness that men get in older age, but it effects Boxers. The Vet has him on thyroid meds for 2-months to see if that will stimulate his thyroids to make the hair grow back (and then he won't be on meds). We haven't seen any hair growth yet. The Vet also said you can put over-the-counter hair growth on them and that helps, but I don't care enough about it to go to that extent. If he's not in pain or bothered, it's just cosmetic at that point. However, enough about the downside. He's actually a very loving and sweet dog. He loves kids (very protecting) and loves other dogs (although sometimes he doesn't realize how big he is). I say that because my Pug is the alpha dog and Champ could probably eat Pugsly, but he doesn't realize that. He loves to play with toys and will walk around with his "baby" in his mouth, which is a teddy bear. He loves to play and loves tennis balls (he usually tears everything else up--surprisingly the teddy bear is not torn to shreds yet). He is also obsessed with socks. He gets all crazy in the eyes when you wave a sock in front of him. He will also try and sit in your lap like he's a little dog. That's a sight to see (he tips my husband over in the recliner--very comical). He will jump up and hug your neck when you get home and just genuinely a very loving and silly dog. He also has a thing for the couch and pretty much takes up the whole thing. Why are we getting rid of him? I already have a demanding Pug and Champ is more than we can handle anymore. We don't have a fenced in yard so he's not getting the exercise he needs and he does need your attention--and I'm just tired of all the pets in my house. My allergies are a wreck and it's bad enough with my Pug, adding two dogs has me on strong meds (and still not 100% effective). We don't have the extra $$ to get a fence since the price seems to skyrocket every year we get a quote! So, if you know of someone who is interested that can handle the above, then please let me know. You can email here at work or at maryfries@bellsouth.net. I can provide pictures. I have about a million of him!

Betty Needs A Home!
Betty came to visit us tonight for a bath and while paying, I found out that she is actually a foster dog for the woman who came to bathe her. She's a 3-year old Golden Retriever and just a DOLL! She was so good for her bath, and actually looked like she was really enjoying the attention! If you want more information on Betty, please email Greta @ greta.r.ulvad@vanderbilt.edu

Sam The Boxer Needs a Home
From Sam's Mom:
My name is Tammy Cothran, I'm Sam's mom. Sam just had
his first birthday Jan 6th, 2009, weight 71lbs, full blooded with papers, is not
fixed. Sam's dad wanted to breed him one time. Health is good, sees
the Vet regularly.
My husband was a retired police detective
and worked 18hrs. per week. He wanted Sam and for Westie Jack to
have a brother. Unfortunately my husband went to heaven in November.
When I have to be on site for work Sam is in his kennel because we do not
have a fenced yard. He is kennel trained and sleeps in it at night but I
have a hard time knowing he is locked up all day. Sam will ring jingle
bells on the back door when he needs to go outside. Last summer after just
2 days he jumped off the back of our boat went swimming to the bank to take care
of his business. We just call his name tell him to come and he will swim
back to the doggy ladder, and get right back on the boat. He will sit,
stay, come, heel and understands when you lead correct. He did attend 4
out 6 of his dog training classes. Due to my husbands illness we missed 2.
I will check but I believe the trainer will allow him to attend again for
no charge.
Sam loves children, playing and loves to love.
Jack is only 14lbs but you would never know the way they play together.
Sam will roll down on the floor for Jack to pull on his ears.
I just want my wonderful big boy to be able to
get out run and play during the day. I'm looking for someone who
loves dogs and treats them like one of the family. This is hard for me but
not as hard as knowing my Sam is in his kennel.
If you would
like to know more or see Sam please call 615.804.9849, we are in Bellevue. Enjoy his
pictures!!
Lexie My Love
So our recent Lucky Pup adoptable "Lexie" (now Fiona) has come back for a visit today. Her new mom dropped her off this morning for a bath and some Lucky Pup time! I love this dog SO much!!! However, Cohen my Yorkie is not so sure about this situation....ha.
Lacey the Pit Bull Needs a Home!
From the owner:
My name is Adam. I have a 6 year old pit bull who is very loyal, nice and house broken. I've had her since she was a pup and now I have to get rid of her because I'm moving and can't find a place for her. I don't want to give her to someone who is going to mistreat her. If you would please email me and let me know something i would appreciate it a lot, I am moving close to the end of this month and running out of options. I've attached photos of Lacey. Thank you. Adam
P.S She has had her shots but is not spayed. She is okay with dogs after she gets use to them; she use to live with two other dogs awhile back. She recently lived with two cats in my apartment, she didn't like them at first but she didn't mind after awhile. Not sure about kids, she has never really been around them. She is in antioch tennessee.

Slim Needs a Home!
Slimfast was found running on the highway by a good Samaritan. He
is an 18 month old Weim/whippet mix that weighs 53 pounds and is crate trained. He is up to date on shots and HW prevention and
has been neutered . A volunteer is keeping him at their home,
but cannot keep him long. He is good with other dogs, indoor cats and children.
Outside, he will chase cats,
however, but that's all he does. He has beautiful brindle markings which include black around his eyes that look as if he
is wearing eye liner!
Won't you consider giving this boy a forever home? Please call Mona at (615) 230-1082. You will be happy you took the time to
inquire about this fellow! He's a real gem!

Lannie Needs a Home!
From Lucky Pup part-timer and doggy photographer Angela Bertrand:
I took photos of this dog, her name is Lannie, last week for MTGRR (Middle Tennessee Golden Retriever Rescue) as they are trying to get her adopted into a good forever home. She currently resides with foster parents but they are looking to find her a permanent home. She is a Golden mix (maybe some border collie in her??), somewhere between the ages of 3-5 (but the foster mom and myself think she's more like 3 yrs old...she seems pretty young still) and she is the biggest sweetheart! She can be a little shy/timid at first but is so sweet and is a beautiful girl! Some of her photos kinda looks like she's a fox haha! She's fully grown at around maybe 50 lbs I think. She is great with people and other dogs as she currently lives with 2 other Goldens (not for sure about cats since the foster mom doesn't have any, but she has a really good temperament so I am sure she would do fine). She LOVES to be outside and loves to run! Whoever adopts her needs a large fenced in area for her. She is very laid back, is pretty calm and loyal. She would be a great dog for someone/family. Not sure what her story is completely, I believe she was found as a stray, but I am sure Sarah at MTGRR could tell you more about her if anyone is interested.
Anyone interested in Lannie can contact:

Scooter's current foster is in danger of losing his home, so Scooter needs somewhere safe and cozy right away!

DogTown - National Geographic
I caught this show on the National Geographic channel one night randomly, and fell in love with it! Not a show for the faint of heart, but definitely one for dog lovers, DogTown follows the trials and tribulations of The Best Friends Animal Society in Southern Utah.
Every year, countless numbers of dogs are given up on.
They
are unwanted, abandoned for medical or behavioral reasons, the result
of extreme abuse, or the unfortunate victims of circumstance, many of
these dogs will be unable to find permanent homes, and euthanized when
individuals and institutions throughout the country, and the world, are
unable to care for them any longer. For many of these dogs, Dogtown
represents a dog’s last chance for redemption, hope, or survival.
Dogtown is a last resort.
DOGTOWN follows these dogs from their initial arrival at Best Friends, through their various medical and/or behavioral transformations, all the way through adoption, a lifetime spent at Dogtown, or in rare medical cases, death. While most of these dogs deserve homes—unfortunately, not all will find them.
Through the eyes of various Dogtown staff members, The National Geographic Channel will follow these dogs’ stories—learning different methods to combat behavioral issues, and various symptoms and treatments for a myriad of medical conditions, with the hope that eventually, these dogs will undergo a transition that somehow makes them, more ‘adoptable.’
Can Dogtown’s veterinary staff stabilize an older dog with a brain tumor so he’ll have a chance to live out the remainder of his years in the comfort of someone’s home? Is there anyone out there, who would consider adopting a neurologically-impaired dog, who stumbles into things, and drools constantly? Is there any hope of change, for an abused dog, who doesn’t know any better than to protect itself through biting viciously?
A story of second-chances, DOGTOWN is about people who believe in, and inspire possibility— and of dogs who win against the odds.
Fridays, 10 pm ET/PT, new episodes starting March 20th!

Wally Goes Home!
I was so excited when I recently heard that a really nice woman from Minnesota had decided to adopt Wally, one of the adoptables from Camp Chaos that we have featured on our new Adoption Wall at the store. What a great story. When photogrpaher Adrian Hitt sent her photos of the adoptables off to be printed by a company in Minnesota, the girl that handled the printing fell in love with Wally's photo! She flew all of the way to Nashville this past week and flew back home the same night with Wally the Pit Bull! Here are some photos of Wally and his new mom standing in front of our Adoption Wall and the picture of Wally that she printed and fell in love with! Two of the ladies from Camp Chaos were there to show their support and thanks! Congrats Wally!!
Honey Needs a Home!
This
is a mama dog that an officer rescued. Her and her 6 pups were picked up one freezing morning
from a call he went on. The pups were probably only hours old and there was no
food, water or shelter. So he took them in and he has had all the pups adopted
out but of course no one wants the mama. He has no fence so he is forced to keep
her in a crate all day and she is very cramped and unhappy that she cant get out
and stretch and run around in a yard. She has not been spayed either due to his
financial situation, as he has 3 dogs of his own and he said he is just worn
out. If you are able to help Honey, please contact: jeanette.bebout@

Lexie still waits patiently for her family...
Lexie is still looking for her family! Come say hi to her at Lucky Pup!
A few things I've learned about Lexie:
- She loves to curl up on tiny dog beds (aka my 12 lb yorkies' bed)
- She likes to be held like a baby on your hip (yes, even at 40 lbs)
- Her left ear will pop up when she's interested in something, but her right ear simply does not know how to pop up. So she is forever, one ear up, one ear down.
- She likes her men tall, dark and handsome: AKA her boyfriend "Judah", a mutt she is being fostered with at her foster mom's house! They REALLY love each other. Judah is also looking for a home. They sure would make a great pair of dogs!! Here is a pic of Judah:

Tina Needs a Foster or a Home!
Tina is a female pit-mix, 1-2 years old and such a love muffin! She is timid, but very loving once she get's used to you. She would probably do best in a household as an only dog, or with one other dog that is very playful/submissive, since she is a little timid and nervous around more dominant dogs. I saw her wag her tail for the first time when another female dog wanted to play and she joined in for a romp! She would also probably do best in a household without kids since she is a little nervous. This baby has been hanging out with me at the store all day and I can tell she just wants to go home and snuggle with someone in bed! Let me know if you are interested in meeting her or possibly fostering her!

Archie Needs a Home!
Here is the message I received from the woman who pulled Archie out of the shelter when he had run out of time! Thank goodness she could not resist a scruffy face! What a handsome boy!
I had the pleasure of meeting Archie this past weekend when I volunteered to pay for his boarding and pick him up to bring to his rescue group. Archie had run out of time at the shelter and like me, Lavonne (who runs the rescue group) could not resist a scruffy face. Archie really impressed me with this good leash walking skills and his sweet demeanor. He didn't know who I was, but when I took him on a long walk in the woods he really enjoyed himself and started making eye contact with me and gently taking treats. I don't know if I taught him or simply reminded him how to sit, but he was sitting every time I asked by the end of our walk.
For more info on Archie, please visit his web page!

He moves w/grace and is built for speed. I am sorry I was unable to cut him loose to see him run because I am sure he is a sight to see. He is about 60 lbs but should weigh more. When we arrived at adoption day, Archie found his voice and has the best deep hound bark! He was just excited to see everybody and settled down pretty quickly, but what a voice! Archie is staying at a doggy daycare and has great fun with all his friends. He hasn't had any difficulty and only complains when they put him in his room for the night. I can't give you all the information I usually can because I am not fostering Archie but I was struck by how sweet he is and how much he is longing for a family of his own.

Troy Needs a Home!
I came across this guy on Petfinder tonight and had to post about him, simply becuase he has my husband's name!
Troy
Young
What a great young dog Troy is! He is a German Shepherd mix and is 16
months old. Troy is so gentle and friendly and good-natured. He loves
attention and affection and will be one of the most devoted and loyal
dogs you could want! He has fine manners, enjoys going for walks, and
loves to play. Troy is very bright and eager-to-please and should be
easy to train. He already knows the sit and shake commands. Troy is
very affectionate and will stand up on his back legs to be hugged. He
will be the BEST family dog!

Bark Magazine Covers Emmylou & Bonaparte's Retreat!
On a sunny late-autumn afternoon, two bark-happy Chihuahuas, Jade and
Coco, sprint across the grass and jump on Emmylou Harris. We’re in the
spacious back yard of Harris’s Nashville home, which doubles as
Bonaparte’s Retreat, a fostering service for unwanted dogs.
“Good girls,” says the legendary country singer, gathering the two dogs close to let them nuzzle and lick her. “Both of them were abandoned. The night we rescued Coco, she gave birth to five puppies.”

Ginger Needs A New Home!
Here's the story, from an email I received today:
I have a neighbor that is undergoing Chemo treatments for Cancer and would like to place her dog in another loving home. She is usually pretty well down for 5 days after her Chemo treatments, and her husband travels with his job 3 nights a week, so taking care of Ginger has become hard on her. She and her husband have Ginger who they rescued from Sumner Co Humane 3 years ago as a puppy. She is now 78 lbs and the sweetest calmest girl you will meet. She is fully vetted and totally indoors, so must also go to another inside home with fenced yard. She is an only dog in this home, so I do not know how she feels about cats or other dogs. She is wonderful with kids, my friends grandkids can hang all over her and put their hands in her mouth and she does nothing, just enjoys the attention. Loves tummy rubbs the most! Look at her picture, she is so cute, could stand to lose some weight, she's b een given lots of treat that have added the lbs on, but daily walks would be great for her and YOU. If interested call me Jo Ellen Rice 615-498-3575 or email joelvis@comcast.net for home visit.

seems to be a very affectionate happy boy. The AC officer likes him a lot...
Now his stray time is up and he needs a place to go!!!!
If you are interested
in adopting Bradley, please call Greenbrier Animal

Some of Today's Visitors
Today was a great day! We had a couple of very generous customers come in and purchase a few of the remaining gifts for the Camp Chaos christmas stockings, so THANKS! I think we only about two items left to be purchased! Amazing.
We also received a visit from miss Honey....you guys might know her from the pink poster that has been sitting next to the jar on our cash wrap, asking for donations towards the full hip replacement she will need in order to save her life. She is SUCH a sweet baby. She came in for a bath and a new collar, and when she was done, she not only looked good, but was nice and tired and took a nap on our floor while Laura and I chatted. Honey will need both hips replaced, one at a time, costing a total of almost $10,000! We are thinking of donating a months worth of 5th baths here at Lucky Pup in either January or February to help pay for her surgery! Here is her beautiful photo. Thanks for visiting Honey and I hope you feel better soon!
This sweet Pit-baby also came in for a warm winter coat, and we fit her beautifully into one of our iDawg Bomber jackets, which is also a favorite of my pit bull Lucy. They are so cozy and warm and also waterproof!! Something that will be greatly appreciated with all of the rain we have been having lately!

Leash with a Cause
Supporting dog adoption is such an important thing to me, and I'm always looking for new ways to do it. That's why I got excited when I came across Found My Animal in this past months issue of Modern Dog because they allow you to support dog adoption in a chic, fashionable way! Each of their leashes are hand-crafted by professional New England rope-makers and topped off with double-ended brass clips and a brass tag stamped with a unique number, reminding them of how many leashes they have sold. 25% of all profits from the leash sales goes to Louis Animal Foundation, a unique non-profit group dedicated to spaying/neutering
and providing homes for animals who have not yet 'found'
their people. This is such a great gift for the animal lovers in your life this holiday season, or any time of year!
