East C.A.N. Adoptable Pups {Nashville Dog Photographer}

I really love working with East C.A.N., and in my opinion, they have some of the best pups around! This past week I was able to photograph four more of these cuties who are up for adoption (or will be soon!) If you are interested in meeting any of these dogs please contact East C.A.N. You may not see them on the adoptables page yet, but part of that is getting these photos up - Penny is there under her full name Penelope and Kate is there as well :)

First up, Penny! Penny actually stayed with us for a week while her foster was out of town and I have to say we fell for her just a little bit ;) She's about 40 pounds and loves to love. Those while marks on her face are just white/grey hairs & they just add to her already awesome character.

Next up - Kate!! Kate came into East C.A.N. with a litter of sweet puppies and while they've all been adopted long ago, Kate's still waiting on her forever home - and none of us can figure out why. She's a sweet, athletic bird/hound mix and she wants to come home with you!

Now, let's talk about these two pups - Buckethead and Roscoe. They were living on the porch of an empty house until kind neighbors decided to try to tame them and get them off the streets. Buckethead is moving along well in all of this and may just be the most  photogenic dog ever. Roscoe is taking longer to warm up, but is such a cute pup, I know they will both be great!

First up: Buckethead

And his buddy Roscoe:

East C.A.N. Dogs for Adoption {Nashville Dog Photographer}

It's that time again! Another sweet bunch of pups from East C.A.N. need you help them find their forever home, and in a couple cases a more permanent foster home as well. I have so much fun during these shoots - it always amazes me how dogs can be neglected, forgotten and left behind and still be so sweet and love people so much!  And just a warning, this is going to be a long post - really because these pups were so photogenic I have to share lots of their photos! Now, on to the good stuff - pup pictures!!

Meet Zeus!! Zeus is a sweet, large, 6 month old puppy. He's most likely a boxer/great dane mix, he gets along with other dogs, is good on a leash, and is crate and potty trained. This face. Love him.

Next up - Buddy! Buddy is a pit mix and is about 9 months old. He's good with other dogs, in fact his new bestie is his foster's border collie mix. He's doing well on a leash. He needs a home with no cats and he's good with older kids. And he has the kindest puppy eyes you've ever seen.

And here's Barney! Barney's a shepherd/boxer mix.  He's an energetic young guy, but is full grown at around  45  lbs - a perfect size! I'm a sucker for brindle coats, and his guy is just awesome!

Last, but certainly not least, we have Winnie and Iris. East C.A.N. does not normally get little dogs, and we know they are going to get alot of great attention. Right now, they need a permanent foster or a forever home will work too! (their finder already has 4 pups & 4 cats, and took these two girls in as well).  

They were abandoned by their owners, and were a bit skittish at first, but have really warmed up! These are the kind of pups who will want to be with their owners all the time (and probably in the lap of their owners if you want to get right down to it). They are both crate, leash and potty trained and both get along great with the other dogs & cats in their finder's house!

Winnie is the bigger of the two, and is an approximately one year old Jack Russell mix. She is very social, and really wants to be with her person.

Iris is a Chihuahua who is about 5 years old. She's a little more independent and mellow, but still loves being with her person as much as she can.

Please let me or East C.A.N. know if you are interested in adopting any of these pups! If you don't see them on the adoptables page just yet they will be there soon!

Thanks and please share,

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!
