Amelia Update...


Crate training is going well... she loves sleeping in her crate!

We were so excited and hopeful yesterday because we were pretty sure we had a good prospect for a home for Amelia but they decided against her... for all of the right reasons and we are grateful for them passing on her to make sure she gets the perfect home.

We did get some great news yesterday... One of the most amazing trainers in NOLA, Ann Becnel has offered her services to whomever adopts her... (note from Ann - "I will give free dog training to whoever does have a place in their home for that precious girl. Puppy Kindergarten and Group classes in City Park, basically training for the first 14 weeks of her new life."

Thanks so much Ann and thank y'all for cross posting and helping us find a home for sweet Amelia.

If you have not done so, read Amelia's story here.



I love these two!



This morning...

Two of our clients were on this flight this morning... please keep them in your thoughts as they continue travel. Thank goodness everything worked out well.

Baby Amelia

Buzi teaching Amelia how to walk on a leash...

I am thrilled to report that sweet baby Amelia did great last night. Thank goodness for Sawyer and Buzi. Sawyer reports - she is eating like a pig, crate slept last night from 11pm - 3 (went out to TT) and went back to sleep until get up time. She is playing with the kitty cats and very playful. Sawyer said you can tell she is feeling better "like a new puppy" this morning!

Stay tuned...

Had a hard day... Need a forever home!

If you sent us an email and have not heard back from us, please forward your email to nolapetcare@aol.com .



This morning I received a telephone call from a guy who had just rescued this puppy running toward someone who dumped her around Earhardt & Broad. I posted the photographs below this morning and this afternoon I read this Facebook post from one of our clients... By the way - she posted this before I posted my post about her.

Her (HY) post...

"ohhhh wow! i had the best experience this morning!! it could have been such a bad thing...

BUT: i saw a dude run across BUSY broad st and right behind him was this tiny yellow lab-like puppy. it appeared to me he dropped the puppy off at the car dealership and tried to run. i was driving and watching in my rear view mirror and circled around to try and go get the puppy - praying traffic would stop! the puppy just stood petrified in the middle of the street!

and, then, a suburban stopped right in front of it. a guy jumped out and got on the side street. he got down on his knees and called the puppy....the puppy went running to him shaking his entire little body with pure joy and innocence!!!!!!!!!!!!! the guy scooped him up in his arms! and the puppy was wagging his tail looking up at him! it was soooo sweet!

i drove up and the guy asked if the puppy was mine. i told him no but that i had seen someone run right before the puppy was in the street.

i hope he gets to keep him! if not, we talked about maybe taking the puppy to freret st and michelle at zeus' place. either way, that puppy's whole life changed in a matter of seconds. it was awesome."


Indeed - her life changed and it is awesome...


Her angel (the suburban) is Matthew. He took her home and gave her a bath to get all of the nasty fleas off. Matthew phoned me because he heard that we may be able to help. He rushed over and we had already made the calls necessary to start getting her ready for her forever home. Before he left, I asked him to name her and he choose Amelia because she was flying all over Earhardt and Broad! I can't say enough about Matthew and if he is willing, we will be certain to make sure she gets to spend time with her angel!


He put her in my arms at 10am and she has been to the Vet and is resting at her Foster Home.


Amelia is eight pounds, eleven ounces. She is approximately eight weeks old. Our wonderful Vet at Riverlands Animal Hospital is pretty certain that she is a Rat Terrier/Lab Mix. We got her first set of shots, etc... naturally, she is full of worms so we are treating that.


She is the most amazing little girl... we cuddled all morning. Her Foster Mommy (Buzi) and Foster Mom (Sawyer) are making sure she is starting potty and crate training TODAY. Buzi has a few kitty cats so she will learn to love kitty cats too.


We are looking for a home for sweet baby Amelia. We would sure appreciate if you would please cross post for us. If you are interested, please email us @NOLAPetCare@aol.com.


Matthew & HY - thanks for saving her life... When I think about the person that dumped her in the middle of a busy intersection in New Orleans - I want to punch him in the head but HY (Facebook) is spot on - her life will be awesome now and she deserves it!


We will post more photographs soon.



@ the Vet waiting to get checked out...

Our little 8#11oz situation... Her name is Amelia. More on her story soon. Stay tuned!






What we have here is a situation!

Stay tuned!
