Karl - Doberman mix
This fun loving people dog just wants to play play play but hasn't realized yet that he's got to learn a few rules as well. Someone willing to put a bit of time into training this guy will get an eager and loyal companion for life.

Your photographs are just beautiful, I hope ALL the pound dogs are given a chance to shine through your lens and not just the picture posted on the adoption website.
ReplyDeleteYou give us the stars and the moon with these gorgeous photographs, can I ask for the world as well? What are the chances for updates on these dogs? Now that I have become attached to them on your blog I would love to know where they end up - especially the 'unamed' dogs like the poodle, doberman, german shepherd and husky (these one especially touch the heart, not even having a name). I occasionally see an update, does it all depend on whether the new owner sends you this - is it as random as that? When I see all that you write and do (as well as holding down a job and caring for a family!) I know it is a lot to wish for...but I still do! Don't blame me for asking, you got me hooked with these photos!!
ReplyDeleteHi Anon, unfortunately it does depend on the new owners sending in info and photos in order for me to provide updates of any interest. With regards to the general outcome of the dogs posted here on the blog, the vast majority of them - as in 99.9% or something like that - get adopted. The only time a dog doesn't make it out of adoption, that I've seen, is if it health and behaviour deteriorate for some reason to the point where it is suffering and a good outcome is unlikely. I've posted on those rare occurrences as well and it's sad for everyone involved but I can't say it never happens.
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad there isn't a profile for 'Pesky Fan with too much time on their hands' - one last question. Do you meet the adopters or do they see your pictures online - or do they just go by the TAS website to find their future pet (or a bit of both) ? If I hadn't read the article in the Star about you, HOW DO PEOPLE DISCOVER YOUR BLOG, is it advertised at TAS? Is it just kismet if you happen to be there while someone is adopting, hence the update from the owner? I think if more people saw your pictures there would be a real swell of interest although 99.9% adoption rate isn't bad!!! I don't live in Toronto so I don't know how these things work! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Anon, some people know about this blog because of a previous blog I did called One Bark at a Time. Other people might know about it through their friends or other online links from other websites. I guess the rest just get here via Google. This blog isn't advertised at TAS or on any TAS website as this blog isn't anything official. The adoption rate I mentioned is just for the dogs shown on the blog. There are, unfortunately, many dogs, who for various health, behavioural or legal reasons (re:Ontario's anti-pitbull law), don't make it into adoption.
