What a face - UPDATE

  

More than a dozen people reached out to help this puppy. So there is happy news about cute-as-a-button Maya:

She was adopted by a friend of  Lucky's Mom who actually lives in Vinings and came down to meet her.

Lucky's Mom (our neighbor we know by her dog's name) sent her friend the original email and she fell in love. We think Maya will have a magical life riding shotgun and sleeping in the bed with her new mom.

Thanks to the 14 people who contacted us about adopting her.

Please remember to spay or neuter your dog so that there are less little puppies like Maya facing abuse and neglect. Also please be aware that it is now illegal in Fulton county to tie out or chain up your dog.  

best,

What a face

  

Nadj and Melissa sent out a message yesterday, looking for a new home for 12-pound Maya.

With all her shots and a clean bill of health, this miniature Doberman is ready to bring some one a bit of love.

Read below and contact them:

One of the renters on our street adopted this puppy and then realized they did not have the means to feed her or take care of her basic needs. We took her in after she was left out in the rainstorms without shelter or food for a week. The family will not take her back. This is our fourth rescue animal this year we have vetted and rehomed. Please take a look and see if you have room for a sweet little cuddler like Maya. She is about 12 lbs and will be small as an adult. We think she is about 4 months old. She has the coloring of a miniature Doberman and is mixed with something else small. She has been spayed, had all her shots ( including rabies) and been wormed and heart worm tested. She has also been micro-chipped. She is very sweet-tempered and gets along with dogs and people. We rescued a kitten about the same time and the two tend to play together and eat out of the same bowl. She likes to be under the covers and sleep next to you. She sleeps through the night and she is trained to use a dog door. If she is hungry, she will carry her empty dog bowl. She will eat anything including lima beans. She likes rawhide toys and hoofs and has not eaten anything she shouldn't like shoes or the remote, but if it smells like hamburgers (McDonald's bag) you will need to put it out of her reach. She is good on a leash and has a new blingified collar. She did very well at the new College Park Dog park last Saturday and had no problem returning when we called her name. She is a very good little dog. We would like her to go to a home with either another dog or a person who is home a lot. To have her vetted was $60 if you would like to adopt her and can provide a home within the neighborhood where we will see her happy, we would ask that you make a small donation to Pets Are Loving Support (pals atlanta) or one of the groups helping animals affected by flood instead of paying us.

For those of you with dogs that haven't been fixed yet, please note that Fulton County still does FREE spay and neutering for animals within the county--call the Fulton County Animal Shelter for more info...

thanks,
Nadj and Melissa

Flood assistance, to give and to get

Frog Hollow neighborhood resident Carey Hardy is doing best what neighbors do, helping out. Carey is looking for assistance to help folks digging out from flood damage. 

An estimated 10,000 families throughout Metro Atlanta have lost household items  from flooding. Repairs are expected to cost more than $200 million around the region. A powerful video shows some of the damage and how people are coming together:

Hardy's work - Nuran, a interactive marketing agency, has teamed up to help the rebuilding at HopeATL. Hardy would like to collect items to assist families. 

There is no goal to meet, the company just wants to do its part and help people out, Hardy said.  He She would like to see donations made through Oct 10. 

From tools to help build homes to baby clothes, the Web site -  HopeATL - has a list of urgent needs. 

Hardy is willing to pick up donations at people's homes. If anyone has unsold yard sale items, the stuff may go to better use than taking up space in the attic.

Email him her at chardy33@gmail.com or on his her cell at 404.895.8241.

Meanwhile, there is government aid for individuals:

Individual Assistance can include temporary housing assistance for eligible applicants such as rental assistance and repair assistance. If you sustained damage during these storms and live in one of the designated counties, I encourage you to register with FEMA by calling 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or TTY (800) 462-7585 for individuals with speech or hearing disabilities.
