FurrButt Friday!

Let me introduce you to this week's Featured Adoptable FurrButt, "Chile"!

She is believed to be a Rat Terrier / Italian Greyhound / Mixed (short coat) and is about 2 years old.

Here is her info from her webpage:

Chile is a darling little girl who we found in a kill shelter in PA after she had been found wandering the streets of Philly. She was dirty, very thin, and very scared!
Now she is doing much better and is ready for a new family. She is 7.8lbs, approximately 2yrs old and has been vetted!! She does very well in her crate as long as shes taken out every few hours (tiny dogs have tiny bladders you know).
She is still timid in new situations and because of this and her size, we will NOT be placing her in a home with very young children. She does fine with other animals of ALL sizes.

"Chile is very affectionate, very playful..loves to run around the yard like a windup toy...fine with other dogs and cats...loves loves loves attention."

OK so here is my view of Miss Chile!
First let me say that I typically am not a fan of the small breed dogs, I love me some bulk! :)
I was prepared for a shaky little thing that would be difficult to take pictures of. But I actually really like this little girl! Even though she was a bit nervous and didn't like the camera much she is SUPER sweet and you can just see that she want's Furrever bad!
She is very curious and even though content to sit in a lap, want's to play and explore. So even though she had a rough start she is not completely fearful of the world.
She is dainty but solid for her size, she is just a real neat little dog and
I have to say I am very surprised that she has not been adopted!

Her ears are so stinkin cute!!

Agh another moment that I love to be able to talk about because I also have this thought that all little dogs are "crazy lickers" but she is content to just sniff and give a little love :) at least from what I saw.

If you are interested in this adorable babe please contact DAAWGs today!

Wordless Wednesday!

FurrButt Friday!

This week's Featured FurrButt is Miss Pia!
Available for Adoption!

If you visited for Felicity's Feature, Pia is the calmer version of her. She is super sweet, very loving and just beautiful!

Here is the information from her webpage:

Pia is a lovable mixed breed mutt who we found at a kill shelter just after she gave birth to her babies. She was a stray and was never reclaimed, so she and her little family came to DAAWG.
Pia is very well behaved, and must have been someones pet at some point. She does very well in the house and her crate and loves everyone. She gets along fine with the other dogs, but does need to fed alone...too many nights without food have left her a bit piggy with her food. If her lovely face speaks to your heart, the way it did to ours, then please fill out an application for her today!

In my time with this Gorgeous babe all I saw was a big ol lap dog!
She just needs a sofa and a lap to put her head in.
Long walks where she can look around at every little thing.
She is one of those babes you just KNOW will be totally dedicated to her family.

As you can see she want's to be pampered :)

Curious, intent and focused! Highly food motivated and very cooperative given that we were at a meet and greet.

She had no interest in getting "in the face" of the visiting children but loved it when they scratched her head. It seems that she would be more of a Mommy figure with younger children instead of a playmate.

She just wants to be a Family Dog!

In this picture: The pen in the background holds her last two babies, she stayed close to them whenever she could but such is her life that the lady in the picture is looking at the babes while Ms. Pia goes unnoticed.

If you are interested in Pia Please visit DAAWGs!

Sneak Peek! "S" Family

Readers please note: I have not been able to publish to my blog for quite a few days so FurrButt Friday and Monday's posts will be moved to this week. - Katie

Sneak Peek!

Ok so first I am going to tell you all a secret, When I post my Sneak Peeks I usually never put in my absolute favorite images from my sessions. The reason being is that I want my clients to get excited but get to their album and be wowed. I don't want to give it all to them right away and it is real difficult choosing which ones to show.

I did this session this past weekend with a Fabulous Family, I was there with a purpose and that was to capture this wonderful old soul "Eiko" you see he has Cancer and "Mom" knew it was important to capture him now while he still has some Puppy in him :) and that he does.

Sue & Family, thank you for sharing your home, your wonderful Family and "Eiko's" life with me, it was a pleasure and I look forward to seeing you all again!

So here is my absolute FAVORITE Portrait from that Session!
(click to view larger)

The Man of the Hour! The Bugger :) as soon as he found out I had treats he wouldn't stop asking for them! I have a ton of pictures of the end of his mug in a bark :)

The is "Eiko's" girlfriend, "Sugar" With her around I saw a lot of Puppy in that old Man!
She is a sweety and another bugger, she wasn't waiting for the treats, she was going to come right up and get them!

Lil "Roo" oh how cute! A little shy of the Camera but not bad,
I can't wait for "Mom" to see the rest of this baby!

My Model for the day!! "What sit, look here, oh up here, OK no problem, now where's my treat?" This little girl figured out real quick if she did what I asked of her she was getting treat after treat, the one "Mom" thought may be the tough one ended up being a cake baby!

Thank you, Thank you for having me out!
I can not tell you enough how much I enjoyed this Session and Meeting you all!
Enjoy your Sneak Peek!

Katie :)

Sweet "Chile" oh what a love!

This beautiful babe went to another group but you can still inquire with DAAWGs

"Pia's" babies! Above is "Wesley" what a snuggle bug!

I don't see this babes page so I am hoping that means "Adopted"!

"Widget"! Funny looking little guy but super friendly!

So I was told that "Henry" is part bat! hee hee

Wordless Wednesday!

"My Life" on Monday

Happy Memorial Day!!!!

FurrButt Friday! (a day late)

Meet Shadow, this weeks featured Adoptable FurrButt!
She came to visit with CompAnimals and a couple of her FurrFriends.

This is Benji! You can visit her page here.
She has the most Beautiful eyes!

And Sweet Ellie, her page can be found here.
I think she looks like she came from the Orient!
Beautiful Dog!

Here are the excerpts from Shadow's webpage:
Shadow is an adorable little rough coat Jack Russell, 6-7 yrs old. She was recently returned to us when her handicapped owner could not keep up with her.
Shadow is actually kind of mellow for a JRT but she does have that terrier personality.
Shadow loves going on walks & flushing little critters from the bushes! She is also a little snuggle bug and loves to cuddle. Will even let you sleep in on Sundays!
Shadow is 110% housebroken as well as crate trained. She is an opinionated little dog and might decide that she needs to protect your house from wandering UPS men - would do best in a home with JRT experience or someone familiar with (and able to practice) Cesar Millan type training/behavior modification. Shadow is good with cats & other dogs (although she can be a little bossy). She thinks it her her job to wash ears & eyeballs!
Shadow would do great with an active person who can take her places. She is a great little portable size & makes a good driving buddy! Shadow has been spayed, vaccinated & is on heartworm prevention. She is staying at our Adoption Center in Landenberg - visiting hours Wed-Sat 12-5. Please email for more information or fill out an application at www.companimals.org Adoption $100.

Well usually I write something about these babes but they already did such a great job! I will add that I think she is Super Cute and do not see her as an older Dog. She has a very cool attitude and was willing to do what I asked of her, for the most part :)

She LOVES treats and will work for them, I think she could be taught some neat things because she highly food motivated.

She is Child tolerant, my 3 year old was able to give her treats without her snatching them but she wasn't real interested in him until he was riding on his bike. She would do best in an older child or adult home.

See that Terrier coming out?! Shadow is such a great sized dog sturdy and small and would be a great addition to your home!

CompAnimals has an Adoption Center on the corner of New London Rd. (Rt. 896) and Flint Hill Rd. in Landenberg, PA across from Hill's Auction.
Stop by to see some of our animals for adoption Wednesday through Saturday from 12 to 5pm (Sunday by appointment). Many of our dogs are in foster care and they will come visit us from time to time. Our cats are available at the Adoption Center during all of our open hours. Please email for more info!
