Posts Tagged ‘Project HALO’

There was lots of good news this week and I can’t seem to blog fast enough about all of it. Project HALO has adopted off dogs left and right. I can’t even begin to say how much that warms my heart, actually my soul. So please keep coming to events if you have room in your homes for a new furry friend or even volunteer your time. I promise that there is nothing like the feeling of giving back to helpless animals.

There is a Project HALO event today if you can join.

Time: 11:30am – 1:30pm, Location: Wachovia Atrium Street: 301 South Tryon Street, City/Town: Charlotte, NC

Here’s a pic of some of the wonderful volunteers with Project HALO from the last adoption event. Laura and her hubs not only volunteer their time at events, but they were also the foster parents for Nugget. Notice I said were the foster parents – Nugget is headed to a new home for a overnight trial – so cross those paws that it is a forever home for this great pup. Thanks to everyone at Project HALO for everything you do and your wonderful volunteers.

p.s. Special thanks goes out to Laura’s husband who makes Fluffy look so manly! :)

Where do I start about Wally? He loves the camera. Wally walked over to me and started posing as I snapped shot after shot of his cute little head.

He came to Project HALO covered in matted fur and they shaved him down to make him comfortable. Less fur does not mean less personality; this little guy is full of spunk and love.

My favorite part about Wally is not just his ability to cuddle at any time, but his little legs. I love how he stands like a dancer in perfect form.

Wally would make a great addition to any home. He’s such a charmer!

Nugget doesn’t care for the paparazzi like most HALO pups. As soon as the camera came out Nugget gave me the cold shoulder.

But I didn’t mind waiting around for her to warm up to me. And once she did, it was all smiles.

Nugget is a black lab mix who is being currently fostered by some really awesome folks. It doesn’t take long to fall in love with her.

Maybe it’s because I had a malti-poo for a brief time in my childhood, or maybe it’s because she’s so sweet, but Princess really tugged on my heart at the adoption event. She’s very calm and quiet, but very playful once she is around the other dogs, regardless if they are big or even small. She is almost a year old, but reminds me of an old-soul.

You might think you are seeing doubles on the blog, but Roxy is still searching for a home. She is a very sweet dog with awesome wrinkles on her head. I could see her in a home that enjoys long walks or a huge backyard. So, who needs a running partner?

Instead of tons of pictures in one post, I decided to feature each HALO dog on their own post. All pictures were taken at the adoption event at Birkdale Village in Huntersville, NC. The events are held monthly on the third Saturday of the month.

We’ll start with Fluffy.

Fluffy lives up to his name. He is super cute and so soft to pet. He loves sitting in laps and getting loved on.

Here’s a little sneak peek of this past weekend from the Project HALO event. Meet Punky - a beagle mix with a heart of gold and the sweetest personality. More to come soon of Punky and the rest of the adorable dogs up for adoption.

A few weeks ago, Project HALO held an adoption event at Birkdale Village. There were lots of wonderful adoptable dogs and even some super sweet puppies. Here are a few featured at the event. If you missed this last event, not to worry! Project HALO will be back at Birkdale Village in Huntersville, NC this Saturday at 11:30 AM. Please come out and see all the fuzzy faces and maybe even take one home. Hope to see you there!

As you can tell, I am a little behind in posting. Hopefully I can get back on track shortly. Here are some pictures from Bark in the Park 2009 at the Knights Stadium in Fort Mill, SC.

Buster, the first dog showcased here stole my heart. He is cute, small and such a cuddlier. He is also this month’s featured pet for Project HALO.

Next up from Project HALO is Trump. He’s a little shy, but eventually he warmed up to the crowd and me snapping away.

Our last fuzzy friend at the park is Piper. She’s so sweet and loved getting belly rubs. Well, what dog doesn’t, right?

While on the subject of cute dogs, here are a few extra pictures shot from Bark in the Park. From the biggest…

to the most wrinkles.

Project HALO came out to Bark in The Park this past Sunday. Lots of cute barking pups and a little rain didn’t stop the Charlotte Knights from showing everyone how to play ball. More pictures coming soon.
