Some exciting news for the WAG ‘n Walk – part of our entertainment will be Gail Mirabella and the Dynamo Disc Dogs! Gail has been featured on Animal Planet, been part of Ringling Brothers Circus, and made hundreds of appearances with her talented pack of dogs. Don’t miss her electrifying performance here in GA!<br /><br /><div class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: center;”><a href=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kmtnYTwiNlE/T4JZTU2h9zI/AAAAAAAAAhY/rFSOTxWpMyc/s1600/banner-1000×200-Gail_the.jpg” imageanchor=”1″ style=”margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;”><img border=”0″ height=”78″ src=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kmtnYTwiNlE/T4JZTU2h9zI/AAAAAAAAAhY/rFSOTxWpMyc/s400/banner-1000×200-Gail_the.jpg” width=”400″ /></a></div>

Another happy ending – Rosie, the pup who recently suffered a growth plate fracture, has mended and found a fantastic new home. Now named Lila, she’s already snuggling up to her new best pal, Lydia.<br /><br />We’re grateful to everyone who donated or contributed to make Rosie’s surgery a success. The smiles make it worth every penny!<br /><br /><div class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: center;”><a href=”http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wzYMN2WTN-I/T4JXadrSTXI/AAAAAAAAAhI/58XB8SSfZRI/s1600/Rosie.jpg” imageanchor=”1″ style=”margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;”><img border=”0″ height=”400″ src=”http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wzYMN2WTN-I/T4JXadrSTXI/AAAAAAAAAhI/58XB8SSfZRI/s400/Rosie.jpg” width=”300″ /></a></div><br /><div class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: center;”><a href=”http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XFX3HhTJubs/T4JYA5m5dJI/AAAAAAAAAhQ/6ZOlr1NHGvE/s1600/Rosie+Lila.jpg” imageanchor=”1″ style=”margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;”><img border=”0″ height=”300″ src=”http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XFX3HhTJubs/T4JYA5m5dJI/AAAAAAAAAhQ/6ZOlr1NHGvE/s400/Rosie+Lila.jpg” width=”400″ /></a></div><br />

Congratulations to Maverick – he’s on his way to a new home in Colorado with Kristina Johnson! Lucky dog – he’ll get to roam the great outdoor range where the deer and the antelope play. We took Maverick to meet Kristina in Conyers, then said our good-byes and watched them drive away on a long journey home. Another happy rescue and adoption!<br /><div class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: center;”><a href=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wMG_TtDh-gw/T3-9GdlnTbI/AAAAAAAAAhA/GKoBBQS5oPg/s1600/428776_229170190513547_147067788723788_408737_1680280159_n.jpg” imageanchor=”1″ style=”margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;”><img border=”0″ height=”400″ src=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wMG_TtDh-gw/T3-9GdlnTbI/AAAAAAAAAhA/GKoBBQS5oPg/s400/428776_229170190513547_147067788723788_408737_1680280159_n.jpg” width=”272″ /></a></div><br />

Well, it’s time to take a short break – a couple of our fosters have a respiratory infection and need to rest for a couple of weeks, so we’ll give them some time and start adoptions back in 2 weeks. We love finding new homes for our pets, but their health comes first so we’re gonna give everybody some rest and relaxation and time to get well!<br /><br /><div class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: center;”><a href=”http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LGKDAof73fw/T30hBoFTXYI/AAAAAAAAAg4/kS6qYZ3AOmU/s1600/bulldog-with-headache.jpg” imageanchor=”1″ style=”margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;”><img border=”0″ height=”239″ src=”http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LGKDAof73fw/T30hBoFTXYI/AAAAAAAAAg4/kS6qYZ3AOmU/s320/bulldog-with-headache.jpg” width=”320″ /></a></div><br />

Haven’t shared this news yet, but our WAG friends continue to amaze us! In early March pet lover Michelle Hatfield donated a large 10 x 16 storage building to us  – totally free! An awesome gift. Taylor’s Wrecking Service in Monroe gave us a great price on moving it – and watching them wiggle that truck/building around corners and into place was impressive! Here are a couple of pics:<br /><br /><div class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: center;”><a href=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nSdViUAjBN8/T3iyPREVHdI/AAAAAAAAAgY/-M4ZD42Gve0/s1600/Taylors+wrecking+service.jpg” imageanchor=”1″ style=”margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;”><img border=”0″ height=”225″ src=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nSdViUAjBN8/T3iyPREVHdI/AAAAAAAAAgY/-M4ZD42Gve0/s400/Taylors+wrecking+service.jpg” width=”400″ /></a></div><br /><br /><div class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: center;”><a href=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wAj8XNKQ0nY/T3iyXBRJpeI/AAAAAAAAAgg/s_aakJ7U2gg/s1600/Taylor+bldg.jpg” imageanchor=”1″ style=”margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;”><img border=”0″ height=”225″ src=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wAj8XNKQ0nY/T3iyXBRJpeI/AAAAAAAAAgg/s_aakJ7U2gg/s400/Taylor+bldg.jpg” width=”400″ /></a></div><br /><br />The building is at our foster coordinator Melanie’s house and we’re using it house more animals. It’s a great…

Great day at adoptions – Charlotte, Chloe,and Claire found new homes. Heidi is on “trial” adoption, hope it works out for her, too. Take a look at Cloe and all her new stuff! I love happy endings.<br /><br /><br /><div class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: center;”><a href=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bOxWI7rRM90/T3iD1wszfPI/AAAAAAAAAgI/zjlWozpqpRc/s1600/Chloe+toys.jpg” imageanchor=”1″ style=”margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;”><img border=”0″ height=”320″ src=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bOxWI7rRM90/T3iD1wszfPI/AAAAAAAAAgI/zjlWozpqpRc/s320/Chloe+toys.jpg” width=”240″ /></a></div><br />

Come join us at the Loganville Petsmart this weekend, Sat., March 31. We have lots of dogs needing great homes: puppies, young dogs, old dogs and everything in between. Adoption hours are 11 am until 3 pm.<br /><br />Stop by and say hello!<br /><br /><div class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: center;”><a href=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0XrFKSwtMww/T3TEa6_EnDI/AAAAAAAAAf4/Oj43H8CVmOI/s1600/Adoptpic.gif” imageanchor=”1″ style=”margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;”><img border=”0″ height=”320″ src=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0XrFKSwtMww/T3TEa6_EnDI/AAAAAAAAAf4/Oj43H8CVmOI/s320/Adoptpic.gif” width=”233″ /></a></div><br />

A big thank you to everyone who donated so Rosie could have her orthopedic surgery. She has a couple of more weeks of crate rest and is going bonkers! She’s still a young pup, after all. But recent x-rays show her fracture is healing well and her bone is growing as it should. And the best news is she’s already found a wonderful home! She won’t leave until medically cleared the first week of April, but we’re so excited for Rosie and her new life.<br /><br /><br /><div style=”text-align: center;”>Rosie at the vet clinic, pre-surgery.</div><div class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: center;”><a href=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lE_1j3Rg0rc/T3TCK6th9yI/AAAAAAAAAfg/xQRRV7rQLFg/s1600/Rosie+pre.jpg” imageanchor=”1″ style=”margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;”><img border=”0″ height=”213″ src=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lE_1j3Rg0rc/T3TCK6th9yI/AAAAAAAAAfg/xQRRV7rQLFg/s320/Rosie+pre.jpg” width=”320″ /></a></div><br /><div style=”text-align: center;”>Rosie going home after surgery.</div><br /><div class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: center;”><a href=”http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z-LiAi3jvrs/T3TCaW1FtEI/AAAAAAAAAfo/WmRRAhIfFlA/s1600/Rosie.jpg”…

Something different for this Saturday – come out to the WAG office and get your car washed. Several industrious 4-H members and their friends will offer a $5 car wash from 11 am – 4 pm this Saturday. And best of all, they’re donating all the money to WAG! An awesome idea, and we’re very grateful.<br /><br />The WAG office is located at 3904 Oak Grove Road, the brick house directly behind the Racetrac gas station on Hwy. 78 at Brand Rd.<br /><br />Hope to see lots of dirty filthy cars there!<br /><br /><br /><div class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: center;”><a href=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZVHk-lbKF7I/T2v6a3ZI-jI/AAAAAAAAAfY/X9C-3f1P4Qg/s1600/carwash_3851c.jpg” imageanchor=”1″ style=”margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;”><img border=”0″ height=”237″ src=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZVHk-lbKF7I/T2v6a3ZI-jI/AAAAAAAAAfY/X9C-3f1P4Qg/s320/carwash_3851c.jpg” width=”320″ /></a></div><br />

No adoptions at Petsmart this weekend – we’re giving our dogs the weekend off and let them indulge in a little spring fever along with the rest of us! But we’ll be back on Saturday, March 31st.

Hope you can attend the next WAG meeting on Tuesday, March 20, 2012 at 6:30 pm at the WAG office, 3904 Oak Grove Road, Loganville.

Another lucky weekend for some rescue dogs! Oliver and Asia both found new wonderful homes. It was a busy Saturday – thanks to our volunteers Katie, Breanna and William for their help during the day. We’ll be watching the shelter website <a href=”http://www.waltonpets.net/”>www.waltonpets.net</a> this week and hopefully can help a few more animals.

Get ready for another adoption day this Saturday, March 17, at the Loganville Petsmart, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. We have some old/new furry faces looking for loving families. Who knows – they may even be wearing St. Patrick’s Day green! Volunteers are welcome – if you’d like to come out just drop us an email at wagvolunteer@yahoo.com by Friday night so we know to look for you.<br /><br /><div class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: center;”><a href=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hKe4NStvUJs/T2ELCqjQh1I/AAAAAAAAAeo/2WDwOQpvtv0/s1600/adopt.jpg” imageanchor=”1″ style=”margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;”><img border=”0″ src=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hKe4NStvUJs/T2ELCqjQh1I/AAAAAAAAAeo/2WDwOQpvtv0/s1600/adopt.jpg” /></a></div><br />

She’s a sweet boxer mix, about 7 mos. old, already spayed and will make her first appearance at the Petsmart adoption on Saturday. Come out and visit her!

Unfortunately he tested positive for heartworms. Heartworm treatment is rough – two painful instramuscular injections – but Cheyenne was a well-mannered gentleman throughout. Once a few weeks have gone by, he’ll be ready for a new family. He’s a big beautiful boy, 66 lbs., and will make a great companion.
