There's just something about Hairy!
For the past year this handsome hound has been the resident dog ambassador at @bobbyhotel where he's been a guest favorite, greeting all visitors (2- and 4-legged alike).

Now it's Hairy's time to check out of the hotel and into the home of a U.S. veteran living within a 40-mile driving distance to our partners @nashvillehumane.

Application deadline is Monday, May 31 - Memorial Day! 🇺🇸

What you should know about Hairy:
❤ Loves frolicking in the yard and working on his frisbee-catching skills
❤ Adores car rides - a great travel buddy!
❤ Visits to the beach? Yes, please!
❤ Expert snuggler, couch curler-upper
❤ Active household that loves adventure - a must!
❤ Good with both dogs and cats...furreal!

Veterans living within 40 driving miles of our partners Nashville Humane Association must apply both to the shelter and Pets for Patriots by Monday, May 31. Hurry for Hairy!

Freedom ride for Florence!!

This 4+ year-old brindle beauty was in the shelter since mid-November without any takers, despite her love of people and other dogs. For most of her life she was left outside with little care til her rescue.

But last week her ship came in! Florence (now Maze) set sail with Kalani, who serves in the Navy, and who shares that:

"She’s living the life and she’s so affectionate! Glad that she’s in my life."

Thanks to our partners @norfolkspca for giving Maze the time she needed to find her humans, and for waiving adoption fees for the veterans we serve. Anchors aweigh, Maze! ⚓

Benjamin is a Marine Corps veteran who spends his days traveling the country with his wife and rescue hound. It is a far cry from the stealth and danger he faced during his many years of service.

"Ozzy is so amazing and smart. He knows to clean or dry himself coming in from outside. He never begs for food. I never saw a puppy so polite and friendly and so in tune with us and when outside the house...

...I will never forget what you have brought to this home and our hearts." ~ Michael, Air Force veteran, during his 6-month adoption check up.

Thanks to @annearundelcountyacc for helping us make this amazing match!

"We’re coming up on two weeks, and so far the worst part is how long he insists on taking to use the bathroom. Lol. He’s sweet, cuddly, barely barks, loves car rides, and never leaves my side. He’s apparently never met a stranger, either, as he is eager to meet everyone...

So, basically, he’s perfect. It hit me last night that it has been less than two weeks, but feels like he’s been with me his entire life. He bonded with my son instantly, which made him happier than he has been for a while. We’re really happy to have him in our lives." ~ Jason, Army veteran, with 5 year-old Nero.

Thank you @fultonanimalservices for this amazing match - one of three Atlanta-area @lifelineanimal shelters that waive adoption fees for veterans we serve...woot!
