FoundDog Day 2015: Meet the Pups!

Feb 3, 2015 By Highland Park Village in Social No Comments Tags: founddog day, highland park village

We’re counting down to the big day this weekend. This Saturday, we hope you can come celebrate FoundDog Day with us at Highland Park Village. We will be hosting a dog food drive as well and will be accepting donations of food, toys, treats, and more - anything that can help support our furry friends in need! Everyone that brings something for the food drive is entered to win a $100 Highland Park Village Gift Card. Read the full event details here.

Meet a few of the dogs you’ll be seeing this weekend!

LUNA AND NALA

* Luna mixed color, Nala brown

These beautiful girls came to Angie’s Friends when they were only 3 or 4 months old. They were born to a dog who is chained in a yard and they never received any human affection or interaction until coming into rescue. Although Angie was not able to get Momma off the chain, she did at least get her spayed. Luna and Nala are still very shy but are learning to trust and love each other dearly.

NUGGET

This guy was found wandering the streets of west Dallas all by himself when he was only a few months old. He was desperately searching for food. Fortunately, Nugget is a smart, friendly pup and he came right to Angie to get rescued! This sweet boy can still be shy in the beginning, but opens up if given a chance. Nugget would be a wonderful and devoted family pet. He’s good with kids and other dogs.

SHADIE

Shadie is a silly Catahoula mix and is 3 to 4 months old. This cute pup wandered up to the door of one of Angie’s friends one rainy day. Unfortunately, Angie’s friend couldn’t keep Shadie, but Angie was able to squeeze her into the program. Shadie is very social and loves people. This gal isn’t afraid to speak her mind on occaision. She’s good with kids and cats.

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.

The details for this year’s event are:

What: FoundDog Day at Highland Park Village with Angie’s Friends and White Rock Dog Rescue

Date: Saturday, February 1^st

Time: 11am-4pm

Where: Center Court near the Clock Tower. Between Billy Reid and Lela Rose

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.
