There will be MANY rescue groups, vendors and even David Norris (http://www.davidnorrismusic.com/)to entertain attendees.

Please come out and support all the rescues that give tirelessly of their personal time to find homes for the needing animals in the tri-county area.

We will have some awesome dogs, as as some new puppies looking for their forever homes!

Come meet Jeff and Mutt Mutt, an odd companion pair that showed up at a rescuers house and the owner never came forward. These two are totally vetted and are best friends. They really need a home together and they go paw-in-paw....

I think their foster Mommy already named one of the pups "Braveheart" because he goes up and down the stairs like a champ! The other two are still a little afraid of them! They are cute!

Oh wow are the first pups eyes blue? They are some pretty looking pitts. Do you know what they are mixed with? Also where is this place? Think i might come check the pups out.

Pepper's Pet Pantry is located in Solomon's...from St Mary's side, once you go over the bridge to Solomon's, you'll see some shops on your right - a boater's place (Boater's World I think), True Value, and Pepper's is located by Solomon's Vet and the rib restaurant. If you see Food Lion, you've gone too far.

We are in the plaza with Patuxent Adventure Center, the Island Spa and Solomons Veterinary Hospital. There will be tents set up in the parking lot and a lot of dogs and people! (The cats will be inside the store.)
Still begging Mother Nature to be kind to us: pleasant temperatures, low humidity and NO rain.
Not stuffy like today :hot:

WOW! What a turn out! THANK YOU to everyone that came by today! It was HOT but thankfully the rain did not come and there was a nice breeze -- not too windy so as to make the tents have any issues but enough to help out with the heat (some). The doggie pools that were set up were quite popular!

And guess what? There were at LEAST 4 dogs adopted and one cat for sure, and there are a number of additional applications. We might have found "forever homes" for as many as 6 to 8 pets today -- and that makes it all worth it!

THANK YOU to everybody that made this possible!

Rocked the house again today. :yahoo:

Great job today volunteers. We have the best group of peeps ever. :huggy:

Looks like Ms. Polly will finally get adopted. What a :love: ( I didn't have to compete with Softballcrazy and got Ms. Polly oh I think for about 5 mins) :lol:

Meaty is a love and looks like He found a new home with a really nice couple.

Had a nice family looking at DJ and wanting to adopt 2 more.

KK had a couple that wanted to take Rags right then and there. Rags is a Labradoodle. They went home and brought back their boxer to see if they got along. It seemed they got along great. :huggies:


Anyway it looks like several of Second Hope Rescues pup pups will be leaving and living in loving homes.

Thanks so much to the foster homes for taking care of SHR dogs and bringing them out today. :love:

The weather held up and I got my tan still workin! That's the only reason I go btw, is to work the tan. :eyebrow:

KK's favorite was the couple that wanted to take Rags right then and there. Rags is a Labradoodle. They went home and brought back their boxer to see if they got along. I'm like, I don't think so. Sweetpea the boxer didn't want anything to do with that Labradoodle. You know its all about them when it comes to boxers. Oh speaking from experience here. :lol:

Not sure!? I helped walk Annie the rat terrier around some, brought my mom too!

I sent some girls from the office to see the rat terriers, can't wait to see if they adopted someone! I am partial to hounds, so I fell in love with the search and rescue bloodhound. Also, met the super nice girl with the 3 pups inside....they were incredibly sweet!

It was a great day and thank you to everyone who came out.

You guys do all the work...I am glad to have a place for you to bring the animals. If Don and I fostered, I am sure we would be "foster failures!"

Definitely a great time was had by all. We were interviewed by the paper and it should be out in a couple of weeks, in that there should be a picture of Polly the AmbassaBull in the swimming pool, proving that there must be labrador in her genes somewhere......

I am surprized there were no pix of humans in the pools...it was pretty hot!
Wasn't David Norris awesome? I bought his other CD's and have the Kitty cat children's CD's for sale.
Was Polly adopted as a result of the event? I know we had the 3 tri-county pups adopted and a kitten from the Humane Society of CC. I understand the groups got a LOT of applications...please keep me posted!

We had a great time and thanks for all you do!! I have two apps on my foster dogs from that event and took our foster puppy to her new home on the way there, she was also adopted from your last event!!:yahoo::yahoo:

Was Polly adopted as a result of the event?

We are checking on 3 applications that were submitted.... Lots of people took aps but haven't heard much else.

I may have to adopt Polly myself.... The thought of her being gone breaks my heart, we even took a nap together this morning, when I should have been getting ready for work....

I saw Polly tonight while mowing the lawn at Second Hope. She came running through the jungle ( I use jungle loosely) :lmao: (loveya KK) to come see me. :lol: I was like Holy Shiat! Ms. Polly jumped on me and was nothing but kisses. Every time I see her I want to take her home. :smoochy:

:poorbaby: There will be other Polly's...and Ernie's and.....


unfortunately you are right.... there will be more Polly's and Ernies....

I have to laugh (to keep from crying), some dogs come in to rescue and grab your heart and won't let go, you have to find them a home to continue doing what we do... then there are other dogs, that are so hard to place, they are another reason we can't keep some of the Polly's and Ernies....as they are in our homes until they either get adopted or they don't....

unix.... my jungle.. .you are doing a great job getting it mowed down...!:love:

Kat,

I'm not allowed any more babies, but if you stumble across a teacup sized baby - think of me. :angel: I know you tend to get bigger babies, but this last monster is still dragging me around.

TIA

Miss seeing you lady!

I'll keep you in mind. The Teacup one's I normally get another group to take. I have 10 year old llahso now, just diagnosed w/cancer, so I need to find her a hospice home. She's sweet and still healthy doesn't appear to be in any pain....

Sorry Unix - I definitely LOL when I got your message....

I know we had the 3 tri-county pups adopted and a kitten from the Humane Society of CC.


There were 2 kittens adopted from the Humane Society of Calvert County :yahoo:

One of the pups from Tri county was brought in after being neutered. "Buddy" will be living on a boat with his new parents, a kitty and a bird. From the looks of it, he is adored by his new Mom! :yahoo:

Sounds like Brady is going to be well loved, too! I love happy beginnings :smile:

Two puppys from tri-county got adopted today! YAAA! I did a transport today for Prince, a Husky... we flew him to State College, PA to a Husky rescue up there. He was fine in the plane, slept the whole way. It was a 4 hour turn-around trip, sure beat 10 plus driving up there and back!

Did you fly him in your plane since I hear your a pilot?

Yes, it was the only way I could see to get the job done -- it was either a 90 minute (each way) flight or a five to six hour drive (each way). Let's see, a 10 hour driving day or four hours total, and back in time to open the store for the Tri-County ladies (who adopted out two collie mix puppies this weekend! YAA)

The only direct cost was for the fuel for the plane, about $200. Fuel for driving would have been at *least* two and probably three $60 fill-ups, so that was comparable overall.

Plus, it was a fun flight!

We did have more dogs then volunteers and was a lot of work, but thanks to all the volunteers that showed. :howdy: We missed the rest of you guys and gals. :huggy:


Looks like a few adoptions may happen :huggy: and that's always a good thing.

See you all next time and come volunteer at the kennel. KK is killing me :lol: Like I said, she's lucky I :love: her.

That swimming pool looked pretty good! It was hot- that's why I stayed in the air conditioning :lmao:
To date, we have had 13 doggies and 7 kitties adopted out... Hopefully you all got a few good applications and we will have more to add to the stats!
I don't have anyone lined up for the 27th yet- the people from Greenbelt cannot make it. Anybody up to it??
