If you have not figured it out already, there is a special place in my heart for rescue dogs. Whether they are adopted from shelters, rescues, or fosters, they are all special friends to me. For that reason, I decided to use my celebrity to draw attention to the deserving dogs available for adoption. Initially, we are focusing on shelter dogs local to me in the Atlanta metro area, as well as the state of Georgia, but we plan to expand our reach to a national level.
With interesting and entirely coincidental timing, Mom recently added two puppies to our home temporarily after hearing their story. We think they are Newfoundland/Lab mixes, and they are very cute, fluffy balls of fur. They are quite active, playful, and energetic. Yesterday, I posted a video and some pictures of them, as well as their back story as the first dogs posted on Spike’s Shelter Dogs.
If you are interested in adopting either of these puppies, or any of the dogs listed on Spike’s Shelter Dogs, check out the contact info for each of them. Also, if you are a shelter, rescue, or foster interested in having an adoptable dog listed on the site, check out the Ask Spike Online Contact Us page. Something that we are doing differently to help gain attention for these dogs, we are utilizing the social media power of Twitter and Flickr to raise awareness. To be the first to know about additions to Spike’s Shelter Dogs, follow @shelterdogs on Twitter or become a contact on Flickr.
Feel free to spread the word about my newest project to all you know, especially those who are looking to provide a forever home for a four-legged friend.
