Adopt-a-Puppy Day- Day 2

Adopt-a-Puppy Days Day 2

Saturday was the 2nd day of our adoption fair with the Surry County Animal Shelter. We were so excited because five had been adopted the day before and we were unsure what to expect!! So, we rolled up our sleeves and got ready for Saturday...

These were some of the little guys that were waiting for adoption!

This nice young man selected this little pup and was thinking of the name, "Sweet Pea".
Brianna and Hailey came on Friday with their parents to look at the puppies. After thinking it over, they came back on Saturday and adopted this little puppy.
Blackjack got a great home with Amy. She saw him listed on the website and fell in love with him. He really is a beautiful dog!

Jimmy, Alexis and Makayla adopted this litte puppy. They were excited to get him home and pick out a name.

[ Patty picked out her puppy and named her "Molly". Such a sweet baby pup.

Madison came with her dad to adopt this little guy. They were going to wait a few days to see what personality it had before giving him a name.
Stacy picked out this great puppy. Her mother and sister, also animal lovers, were excited about the new addition to the family!
Kayla, a volunteer for the two days (THANK YOU!!) came and adopted Ruby, this great dog. She has the most amazing brown eyes and best personality!
Lori Riccitello , owner of Meadows of Dan Trading Company on Main Street, and her husband, John, adopted two shepherd/lab mixes. They are going to a great home. Stop in at Meadows of Dan and visit Lori at her store.
Tamara from Meadows of Dan Trading Company fell in love with beauty. Her husband named him Newman and he was the sweetest dog. Several people wanted him. We had a great time playing with him at the store while we were waiting for Tamara to get off work.

Christopher got this American Bull Dog boy puppy.
We dressed Newman up in our baseball jersey and let him roam the store while we were waiting for Tamara to get off of work to pick him up.

Claudia, from Thelma Lou's Puppy Parlor, came by to wish us well and she gave out cards to all new adoptees for a free bath at her grooming salon.

My son, Max, came to look at the puppies. Here he is with dad.

Melanie is a volunteer at the Surry County Animal Shelter. She does an amazing job putting the pictures on Petfinder and helping with their promotions.
Linda Harris from the Surry County Animal Shelter administered the shots, vaccines and paperwork and answered questions about the dogs. Thanks to her for helping us organize the event so the puppies could find homes.

Pet Connection Adopt-a-Puppy Days Day 1

The pups arrived and they were ready to play. Play the movie and see how they romp about.

Day 1 was certainly a success! Linda arrived with the puppies!! Everyone was so excited. They were so adorable and ready to play! Several were adopted and we were so thrilled that they found loving, wonderful new homes. Here are some of the great families that took home their new babies.

This little guy was so adorable and the first to be adopted. His new name is Brownie.

The next adoptee was adopted by Kelly. He has not decided on a name as of yet. Both puppies came from the same litter and were approximately 10 weeks old. Linda, from the Surry County Animal Shelter, administered all the adoptions and collected the $90.00 fee. The fee included age appropriate first shots and having the pup spayed or neutered.

Three more adoptions took place on our first day! Autumn and Nate took home their little black, white and brown baby.

Pedro, Elizabeth, Eric and Bryan chose this beautiful little puppy. They were considering the name, Lucky, which sounds like a great name to me.

Mira came in and adopted our last baby pup of the day.

We are really thrilled these guys found homes and we look forward to tomorrow and placing more puppies in great families. Please check back for more great stories and also be sure and check our website for new additions to the Surry County Animal Shelter. We continue to run the pets they have available on our home page at http://www.petconnectionpetshop.com/. You can also call the shelter at 401-8481 if you have any questions about their adoption program.

After a long day of play and constant attention, these pups have had enough and they were getting some serious zzzzz's. These three little babies will be back tomorrow for another opportunity for them to find that permanent family.

These customers nearly got licked to death. Check back tomorrow!

We got more stuff!

No more green snakes, but we did get more rabbits, some iguanas, dalmation hamsters, and silky hamsters.

Here Comes Peter Cottontail

Easter is this weekend. We have a few rabbits left. We also will be doing an adoption fair this weekend with the Surry County Animal Shelter. We will be giving away a free doggie easter basket on Saturday so come by and register.

Going Green

The last green snake is gone. Hopefully there will be more on the stock list on Monday.
We have three little bunnies left for Easter. Kelly is writing a care sheet on them which I will post here when she's done.

Little Emerald Jewels

A customer called the other day asking for green snakes. We haven't seen any available to us in about five years, but I took her name and number and told her I would call if any became available.

The following Monday I got the new animal list and lo and behold there were green snakes! I called the lady and told her, she said that her granddaughter had been praying to get one.

They came and got one and now he is in his new happy little home!

Inagural Blog

Hello, welcome to my first posting. If you read the "about us" profile you know that we are a Pet Shop. I thought it would be neat to create this blog as a place where we could post some of our daily ramblings, and things that we see or things that happen in and around our Pet Shop.

Other than taking care of the animals at the pet store we personally have our dog Grace, which if you've ever been in the store you've no doubt met. Sometimes she gets a little protective over the counter area and barks at unsuspecting customers. :)

At home we have two goats, Billy and Blaze who went on walk-about yesterday! I came home and they were on the outside of the fence looking in!

We just acquired four Guinea Hens, they have been penned up now for about a month and a half. I intend on releasing one at the end of the month so he will hang around with his buddies and doing the same with the others so they will hang around and help rid us of ticks.

So keep checking back for updates about what's going on, both at home and at the pet store.
