Kodi Gets Adopted and Four More Show Up



Kodi



I walked into the lobby this morning and found a man and young boy standing there.  Knowing that the staff might be busy in the kennel area I asked the man who was holding a leash if he had been helped yet.  My thought was that they were here to pick up a boarded dog.  He said that they were here for Kodi, which stumped me for a moment.  "Our Kodi or your Kodi?" I asked.  He indicated the Kodi that was posted up on our adoption wall.  Then I remembered my boss Augusta had mentioned a family had met Kodi and were interested in adopting him.  Alright, seeing one of our friends get adopted is always good news.  On my way to work I was going over in my head who I might walk today, and I thought I would begin with Kodi, because he's such an easy walk.  Now, Kodi belongs to someone else.  Perfect.



Augusta was busy with chores at her end of the property so she asked me to complete the adoption paperwork.  I have done two adoptions solo I believe and both of them were a year ago so I was a little rusty, but we got it done.  The adoption list just got a little shorter.  Until....

Until a tall man appeared in the lobby.  "Here to pick up a dog?" I asked.  Not so.  The man explained that our local vet Robyn had been in touch with Augusta after this man found four very large pups abandoned by a neighbor on his property.  Augusta said to have the man bring the dogs to the shelter and we would take a look at them.  Augusta was still busy over at her place so I asked the man to show me the dogs which were crated in his truck.  I don't usually get too goo goo eyed over new dogs brought to the shelter but I took a look in that large crate and OMG...these pups are adorable.  Three black and one black and white, all from the same litter, maybe three to four months old.  If it wasn't for the multi colored one I would have thought they were black Labs but maybe they are a Lab/Pointer mix. Whatever, they are pretty darn cute. The new arrivals will be housed over at Augusta's, away from the main shelter, because pups can carry some nasty bugs.  So it's quarantine and an add will be placed in the paper should someone want to claim ownership of the dogs.  If no one steps forward the dogs will be placed in our adoption program.  I'll post pictures of the dogs once I know they belong to us.

That's it from me tonight, I wonder what tomorrow will bring.
