Belize Found A Forever Home, But Strelka is Looking Again!

Strelka's parents split up and neither one of them feel like they are in a position to care for her.  I am picking her up tonight but, as before, there is really nowhere for her to stay longterm.  I need an adoptive home, and I need one fast.  Please share with your friends!  mckelvey.laura731@gmail.com

She is up-to-date on shots, spayed, and microchipped.

Strelka Found Her Family!

Strelka is in an amazing home, being loved by and incredible family.  She has the affection and attention of 2 women and their two children.  I am so relieved, though I obviously miss her. She found her perfect place!

Tomorrow, I start taking down all the flyers I have put up!  If you see one, please feel free to take it down for me.

You are never going to believe what I found!

Strelka is in a temporary home.  I do not know if it is going to work out or not.  I, clearly, cannot keep both of these girls, however I found this baby in my driveway today.  I am afraid I have become a dumping ground.  She is hungry and clearly not taken care of.  I am desperately searching for a foster or adopter for her.  Please contact me at mckelvey.laura731@gmail.com or (770)374-1338 if you have any suggestions or if you are interested.

Strelka Makes a New Friend

I have not written in a minute because Strelka was with another woman for a trial adoption.  She is back with me now, but it was due to unforeseen allergies.  The woman that had her fell in love with her right away.  She even told me that Strelka was the best dog she had ever met.  She mentioned that she had some accidents in the beginning but, once she got through the adjustment stage, she was completely housebroken.  She said Strelka was very affectionate and got along with all the other dogs she introduced her to, even one that usually does not play well with others.  The woman was heartbroken about having to let her go, and I was too because she would have been the perfect home for "Strelks."

That being said, I was glad to see her again.  I had been missing her since the night I took her to the other home.  I thought and talked about her all the time.  We are back together again and having a good time, mostly just snuggling.  She is glad the election is over so that my attention is more focused. 

Strelka is still available for adoption, but now she has another person who is deeply invested in her future.  Two people to vouch for her charming personality and her always-entertaining-playfulness.

The First Annual Bully March

 Strelka and I attended the First Annual Bully March at Piedmont Park this weekend, and we had a blast.  I was feeling really under the weather, but I am glad we went anyway because she LOVED it.  Seeing all those other happy, well-behaved pit bulls made her wanna play and bound and walk for days. 

 
 
 
At the end of the march, she decided it was time to roll around in the grass.
 
 


A few children popping their heads out of a tent was a pleasant suprise for her.  She loves kids and is always very curious about them. 


 
When we got home, I needed to take a nap, drink plenty of juice, and try to regroup, but Strelka still really wanted to play so Sergei and her ran around the backyard for a bit before I put her in the crate for our nap.

 
The Atlanta Bully March was a great event, and I look forward to attending it again next year.  I hope to see a lot of you out there too!
 
 
Shelter Angels posted this video on their Facebook.  You can see Strelka and me 2:23 to 2:33!

The Life of Strelka-Lelka


Strelka and I met up with Melissa and Thai on Thursday night.  We went to the East Atlanta Farmer's Market.  Strelka showed off her pirate outfit, though she decided the hat was not neccessary for the ensemble.  The lovely lady at Big Daddy Biscuits gave her a cookie and took her photo to post on Facebook later.  We ended up buying some delicious chedder/bacon biscuits.

 
Then we went back to Flat Iron for Soysage reubens and a beer.  Strelka crunched on her treats and watched all the new people walking buy.  She even met an adorable little baby that is also available for adoption.  I believe the puppy was part of the group called Southern Hope.  Let's hope baby and Strelka both get a home soon!
 
 
 
 
Tomorrow is the first annual Bully March in Atlanta!  I am super excited and so is Strelka.  We will attend the march together and then I will be at the Bully Rally without her later.  Hope to see you there!  And, as always, this little pirate is available for adoption and ready to go home with you!
