It's raining cats and dogs. . . .

As I have already blogged, my official job at the Charlotte Humane Society is interviewing the cats up for adoption and writing their descriptions.  Just how long did anyone who knows me well think I could keep on ignoring the dogs.

A new friend named Maria Goto is the volunteer photographer of both the cats and the dogs.  We meet almost every Monday afternoon to work together on the cats and today she asked me if I could stay a little longer and help her with the dogs.  I was hooked.

It breaks my heart to see how many large dogs end up at the HSC. The older dogs, especially the pit bull mixes, are the hardest to get adopted. Fortunately, we are a no-kill shelter.  That's why I was delighted to snap photos of Starsky and Hutch, because they have both just been adopted and are on their way today to their "forever home".

Starsky

The Infirmary, checking in a new arrival.

His name is Keeper and he'd love to be one.

This is Bon Jovi.  I wonder if he sings.



This is Bono.  I think he's musical also.

The Charlotte Humane Society does an incredible job getting both cats and dogs adopted to loving homes and I love feeling that I may be helping that happen, even for just a bit.  Maria photographs the dogs out of their cages, with help from someone a lot stronger than me.  I couldn't resist taking my own photos of just a few of the dogs whose names made me laugh out loud.  Here's hoping that some of them find their forever home before long.  They certainly deserve to.
