Life on the Leash

I stopped by a recent Good Dog Rescue adoption event over at Dogma Dog Bakery in Arlington.

Swoon City.  The place was filled with adorableness.  One of the first faces I fell in love with was this one:

Sweet Koa is a 2-year old former rescue dog – and now a goodwill ambassador of sorts — who is living happily with her new people.   She was at the event hanging out and making friends while her person took care of the logistics of the day.

Koa let me in on a little secret … she said “See that dog over there?  The white one with the spots?  She doesn’t like other dogs too much, so I’m keeping my distance.”

White-spotty dog managed to rise above her anti-dog feelings and didn’t freak out over the close quarters in the store.  Way to go!

This little lady, four-month old Venus, was a parvo pup who made a stunning recovery.

She was decked out for the occasion, but didn’t seem to appreciate her adoption-day finery:

Venus was the youngest pup at the event, and she racked up an impressive array of admirers:

What’s one of the best parts of holding an adoption event at a dog bakery?

Leftovers!

Mary’s goodies prompted many smiles:

And many full bellies:

It’s my hope that by the time you read this post about the lovely Good Dog dogs, every single one of them will have found a new home.  Unfortunately, fate keeps making room for more adoptable dogs, so think about being a hero to a homeless dog!
