Beach Party!

Saturday was CASPCA's Midnight Madness Adoptathon. It was a beach party theme and ran from noon to midnight. I took Jeep in on my way to work in the morning, as well as the three pups I was fostering. The pups all got neutered that day. I went back after work to spend time there with Jeep and to check on my pups.

Jeep (Jeeves is his CASPCA name), didn't have a great time at the beach party. He's terribly shy and isn't really a party animal. Apparently he spent most of the day in his run with his back turned towards everyone -- not a great way to be adopted. Of course, Jeep thinks he has a home already and isn't interested in being adopted. He was glad to see me and we spent a couple more hours hanging around the lobby. In a situation like that he is very clingy with me. He sticks close, tries to wrap himself around my legs, gives me lots of kisses, and does what he can to make sure I take him home, which of course I did.

One of the pups came back home with me for another week because they want his skin condition to clear up a bit more prior to adoption. Another pup got adopted almost as soon as he hit the adoption suite. The third one will probably go today.

The one who got adopted went to a very nice young couple. They were nervous but excited to have him. I'm glad I got to meet them and to see him off.


















I hated bringing home just the one pup to be by himself, so I brought home three more to keep him company. They had just come in and are on a stray hold. All four pups will go back next Thursday. I don't know the final count, but it appeared that more than a dozen dogs got adopted at the event, so I'd say it was a big success. These events are a lot of work for everyone involved, both staff and volunteers, so thank you to everyone who made it happen.
