We are foster parents

Meet Hannah!

As stated above....we are fostering Hannah. After a crazy....semi ridiculous....afternoon we were lucky enough to be able to pick up Hannah. Hannah's story begins with the fact that she was going by the name Lola. We already have a Lola, and she (Hannah) was not answering to Lola, so we have changed it to Hannah. She was placed in Cherokee Animal Shelter after her owner was foreclosed on. She seems to be in good health, and good shape. She is a major lover...so cute, but very timid.

This organization called "Angels Among Us" let us know today about a Beagle, Honey, who was going to be euthanized tomorrow morning at 8am. She was in South Carolina, so we would get her tomorrow. Then at the very last minute she was adopted, so they called Jacob and told him. We figured it just wasn't our time to get a foster dog yet. Then at 3:30 they called and told us about Hannah. She was in a town 20 minutes north of Atlanta, and we had to get there by 5:30 because that was when they would be euthanizing her. Well it was north of the city, during Friday's rush hour....but we took off against the odds. We hit three different stand stills, and got held up in many congested areas. Literally pulled into the animal shelter at 5:15, ran through the parking lot.....and made it of course. But the lady at the front counter was not very nice, and she almost seemed upset that we were taking Hannah off of her hands (or out of her hands).

She is getting along with the Larkin Zoo so far. She is really timid, and doesn't know how to take Lucie and her crazy, hyperness, but she is relaxing more and more. They think she is about a year old. She is a Boxer/Hound mix. She is a gorgeous red color, with pretty white and brown markings. She is a super lover. She just wants to cuddle and relax all the time.

Now as I said we will be fostering her. We are in hopes we can find a nice house for her really soon. We have never fostered before, so I know giving up the first dog will be the hardest, but I also know that by truly fostering we can help many more animals than if we kept them to ourselves. So we are really really really really really really saying we will be finding her another home. But as I type this she is laying across Jacob's lab watching TV. Look who she has wrapped around her paw already. As we get more pictures of her and zoo we will place them here. Make sure to check them out every now and then!

Well needless to say I will be doing puppy duty tomorrow, so no long run. I have to admit I am excited to sleep in a bit, but will miss my run. I will probably try to go out after Jacob gets home tomorrow night.

If you know of anyone who is interested in our beautiful Hannah please let me know. She is doing great with other animals...no idea about how she does with kids. Let us know if someone is interested. We want her to be placed in a wonderful home :)
