Help Rome find a home! {Nashville Dog Photographer}

Okay, my community of awesome, dog loving people - I need your help! This handsome fellow is not one of our fosters, but he does need a home asap! Rome is a medium sized border collie mix, he's got SUCH a cute face! He's a little over a year old and is up to date on all his shots & heartworm medication. He's been in lots of training to be a service dog this year! He walks great on a leash and loves to play & go for runs. He's good with other dogs (we don't know about cats) and loves kids!

Rome has had a pretty great year really. He was taken out of a kennel and into a wonderful foster home in February of 2012. They have been working with a trainer weekly and he is a very well behaved guy!  He is great with basic commands: sit, down, stay, wait, leave it, halt, heal, front, walk, up, off, speak. He can also get his leash and bring it. And as we were doing photos he just laid there as bikes and people walked by him-attentive but staying right where he should be.

Unfortunately the wonderful people who have been fostering him will be unable to keep him for much longer. They are moving and can't take him with them during this process.

If he goes back to the rescue group they are fostering with he will more than likely be kenneled until they find another foster or forever home for him. We want to avoid that so he doesn't lose all this great training!

If you are interested in meeting Rome please contact Stephanie at spikegannar@gmail.com, and fill out an application for him at http://www.proverbs1210rescue.org/. He'd love to meet you!

Our new foster pup - Louie! {Nashville Dog Photographer}

If you follow me on any type of social media you have, of course, already seen the super cute foster puppy we have - Louie! Louie has been with us now for just 5 days, and he's doing great! So, a little about Louie. He's about 8 weeks old now, and still a tiny thing - much smaller than our two cats (which they like :) He is a shepard mix, and although it's always tough to say how big a little puppy will one day be - it doesn't look as though he's going to be huge. We are thinking more in the medium size range.

He is just wonderful. Curious, playful, sweet - LOVES to nap on your lap! He's is only getting up once during the night to go outside (which is great for his age) and he is really getting the concept of potty training and has been doing really well with it. So, in a nutshell, he's pretty wonderful.

He could be yours! Just contact me or East C.A.N. directly if you are interested in meeting this sweetie!

Earline - our new foster puppy! {Nashville Dog Photographer}

What better way to ring in the new year than introducing our newest foster pup with East C.A.N., Earline! She is the absolute sweetest little gal! So, a few facts about her:

-She's about 16 weeks old.

-She was found with her brother (Earl) in Shelby park, and the pair followed their finder home.

-She is a Plott Hound mix, brindle with a darker stripe across her backbone - very pretty :)

Now, those are the facts, but this is the info that makes her really special:

Earline is a sweet, sweet girl. She loves nothing more to be upside down on the floor at your feet to get a belly rub or just laying in the room you are in watching what you are doing. She is getting along great with our dog Rosie, and is completely ignoring our two cats - which is amazing because most of the puppies we've had have had at least one lesson from the cats on personal space :). Not Earline, she just leaves them completely alone and they aren't stressed around her at all.  Earline attended her first New Year's get together last night and also ignored our friends 7 month old baby. Of course we watched closely, and the little one was in her activity center (so not on the floor), but she had no interest in her at all.

Earline is also doing great with potty-training and crate training.  She loves to play fetch & is already learning to sit - a smart girl for sure!

So, if this glowing report didn't sell you, just take a look at this sweetie.  Please contact me or East C.A.N.  if you are interested in meeting her or her brother Earl (who looks just like her, except he's a bit taller and thinner).
