Quite a few dogs and puppies found forever homes, but we ask that you follow Angies Friends on Facebook to help spread the word about some of our sweet four legged friends that still need homes.  Thanks to everyone who made it out to Highland Park Village this past weekend to help support these organizations.

Ozzie (formerly Henry) - a happy rescue from Angie’s Friends that spends his time between Lake Tahoe and Scottsdale with his family

 

As some of you may know, last year, we hosted FoundDog Day at Highland Park Village with Angie’s Friends.  It was such a wonderful success (you can check out the recap here!), that we’re thrilled to partner with Angie’s Friends and White Rock Dog Rescue to bring some more loving pups to Highland Park Village - right before Valentine’s Day we might add.

Here’s a letter Angie’s List received this year from Ozzie’s new mom!

Hi Amanda, thanks for contacting me regarding Henry. His name has been changed to Ozzie! We have always had Bulldogs, when our Bucky passed away suddenly we were devastated. We went without a dog for 6years. We finally healed & decided we would like to rescue a dog. We wanted a smaller dog we could travel with between our homes in Phoenix & Lake Tahoe,Ca.

Ozzie is an amazing,fun, sometimes naughty dog!! We love him to bits! He has matured so we experience much less naughtiness I was visiting my sister in law in Frisco, Tx. She drove me to my favorite mall. I was thinking about rescuing a dog.Had looked in Phoenix but only found pitbulls, large mixed breeds & Chihuahuas. Then there he was! Soo cute & perfect!! I rescued him the end of January 2013 at the Mall in Big D!!

 This last year has been challenging & fun. He has made our world! He is such a character & so funny! He is starting agility classes next week and has been chosen to appear in a commercial. He spends his winters in Phoenix & his summers in Lake Tahoe! He has the life of Riley!!

Here are some pictures of him. Please get them to Angie for me. I tried to text them to her awhile back but apparently she can’t receive them with the phone she has. She is such an amazing person! She does so much for animals in need.

FoundDog Day Success at Highland Park Village

Jeffrey Doman with Chowder

This past Saturday, Highland Park Village was honored to host FoundDog Day with Angie’s Friends and White Rock Dog Rescue.  We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful Saturday. Thirty puppies made a visit to Highland Park Village over the weekend – ready to meet their new families.  Because of this event, nearly 20 dogs have found new homes!

Our hearts were warmed when Jeffrey Doman took home a Brindle puppy he named Chowder for his little boy.  It was the first adoption of the day. Next, we saw a family playing with Oliver – an adorable Labrador mix.  They submitted an application for him right away.  Anita took home a sweet Terrier mix, Henry, and he was wagging his tail when he found out he had found a new mom.

Thank you to everyone who came out this past weekend to celebrate the first FoundDog Day with us at Highland Park Village.  We can’t thank you enough for your support .  And, we are so happy for all of the families who are welcoming a new furry friend into their homes.

Larry is still looking for a loving home and could use your help.  Do you know a family that might be able to care for him?  He’s a very sweet dog.

FoundDog Day

Charlie is approximately 65 pound mix that is about 5 years old. She was abandoned at Bark & Purr, but we don’t understand why since she is nothing but sweetness. Charlie is easy-going girl, loves people, and is good with other dogs. She loves to play fetch and is a total goofball. She also knows how to sit on command – if you know Spanish.

 

Instead of celebrating GroundHog Day, Highland Park Village is celebrating FoundDog Day! There are so many dogs in need of a good home and on February 2nd you have the opportunity to take a home a new addition to your family. Please join us and help support FoundDog Day.

We hope you can join us with DFW Furgotten Friends and Angie’s Friends.  We are excited to give all of these dogs forever homes at this upcoming event at Highland Park Village.  We are so grateful to the amazing volunteers who save these dogs lives each and every day.  Be sure to check out the local animal rescue and education group EARS too.

Event: FoundDog Day

Date: Saturday, February 2nd, 2013

Location: Center Court between Lela Rose and Billy Reid

Time: 11am-4pm

Reason: Provide rescued dogs with a good family and safe home

Ila was abandoned at Samuel Grand Park with her pals, Izzy and Isaak. Ila is a super sweet girl who you can tell is appreciative of being rescued. She’s enthusiastic and has an easy temperament. Ila gets along great with children and other dogs and would be an excellent addition to an active family or a great running companion.

Isaak is about 2 years old and is a very sweet and playful boy, but is also kind of a macho guy. Isaak really thinks he has to be in charge and would be best with a one-dog family. He’s curious and affectionate and good with kids. Isaak was abandoned at Samuel Grand Park with his pals, Ila and Izzy.

Izzy: this beautiful boy is about 1 ½ years old and is an all around joyful dog. Izzy was abandoned at Samuel Grand Park with his pals, Ila and Isaak. He’s very social and affectionate and is guaranteed to make you smile. He gets along great with children and other dogs and would be an excellent addition to an active family or a great running companion.

 

Larry is a goofy 7-month old lab mix who is estimated will weigh 60 or so pounds when full grown. He was found on the street with his sister, who has already found a home. Larry is a sweet, affectionate, curious pup who will be a great addition to a family.

Peaches is a pit mix who adores people and longs to spend time cuddling up to you. She’s great with kids and other dogs, as well. Peaches came into rescue after being abandoned in the yard when her ‘family’ moved away. Peaches truly can’t get enough lovin’ and will be a great companion.

Timmy and Julie

Timmy and Julie are almost identical Chihuahua mix siblings. They are only about 7 months old and estimated to weigh 10 pounds when full grown. They are sweet and playful, without the anxiousness often associated with little dogs. These two are good with other dogs, kids, and cats and will be great companions.
