New foster puppies at the Whitley house - Athena & Odysseus {Nashville Pet Photographer}

Hi friends! The blog has been a little quite with fall and my busiest season arriving, and so I'm really excited to share a new blog today  - our new foster puppies Athena & Odysseus (Odie). We've had them for four days now and they are just the sweetest, cuddliest (is that a word?), most squishy little ones! They are 8 weeks old, and mom is a 45 pound shepard mix (who knows who dad is). They are very curious, smart, and playful. It took a couple days but they did win over our dogs, especially Don Draper, they love to play together!

They've also had their first two rounds of shots and are healthy as can be. If you are interested in adopting either (or both!) of these precious pups, or any of their 4 other siblings in foster care please contact me or East C.A.N. (the organization we foster through) directly. Whoever gets applications in first gets to meet these babies first, and trust me, puppies don't stick around very long so don't delay.  We've had several friends around them and no one has been able to resist the cuteness.....you won't either. I mean LOOK at those faces!!

Meet East C.A.N. Adoptable Dog-Captain Louie! {Nashville Dog Photographer}

You all may remember we had a little Louie here about a year ago and this IS that same sweet boy. Here are his puppy photos if you want to get a look to refresh your memory! Louie was adopted by a sweet couple who are now relocating to NYC and just can't take him with them. They are heart broken and are committed to finding him a great home before they leave. I did these new photos of Captain Louie last week and fell in love with this sweet dog all over again. I'm serious people, he is a special dog and you need to meet him! He's very handsome and (in my opinion) the perfect weight at about 45 pounds. Louie's a mix of shepherd/dobie/many other things and he's got the best giant ears ever!

Captain Louie is 1 year, he's neutered, up to date on all his shots, AND  he's completely house trained! He loves being around & playing with other dogs, and has been good with the kids he's been in contact with. Sweet and attentive, he's eager to please. He doesn't chew things and doesn't chase other animals (like squirrels). Captain Louie is timid at first, so he took a few minutes to warm up but once he did I was hooked (and you will be too)!

Please consider adopting Captain Louie - I think you'll be glad you did! If you are interested in meeting him please contact East C.A.N. on their site or email them at info@eastcan.org!

P.S. It's funny, as I was posting these I noticed you can see the progression of how he was feeling from start to finish. At first he wasn't sure about me, then at the end - totally relaxed! (all the the span of 3o minutes)

Opie, Jax & Roger {Nashville Dog Photographer}

You are going to see a lot of sweet dogs on the blog this week! First up are the two super cute babies we are fostering right now - Opie & Jax! (Yes, we do love to name pups after our favorite TV shows).  Opie (the fluffy boy) and Jax (the smaller pup) are 2 out of 4 puppies rescued along with their momma, Sassy, last weekend at an abandoned house.

The puppies are only 6-7 weeks old now, which makes them the youngest we've ever fostered. Also, this is our first time with two puppies at once! The puppies are healthy, sweet, and curious little guys. They've had their first round of shots and are weighing in at 5 pounds. Their mom is a small brown heinz 57 - a true mix and we have no idea who their dad is. They are ready to go to their forever homes!

I also photographed several of East C.A.N.'s adult dogs last weekend and am so excited to share them on the blog this week as well. Starting off the week we have Roger! Roger is a fun loving, energetic, 11 month old pup that loves to hike, walk, play, and  canoe. He's a black & white mix weighing about 40 pounds. He is great at the dog park and loves playing with his foster brother and sister. He aims to please and is a great learner.

This was so true during his photo shoot - he was really trying to figure out what we wanted him to do! He knows how to sit, stay, and a partial rollover. He is on the East C.A.N. website as adoption pending, but that is no longer the case- Roger's potential adopters had a change of situation and could not complete the adoption process.

If you are interested in these sweet boys please contact me or go directly to East C.A.N.'s website and fill out an application. All applications for introductions to the dogs and puppies are based on who put in the application first, so don't delay!

Also, I know that the wonderful ladies of East C.A.N. are doing a lot of updating to the website this week - so if you don't see these pups on there just yet don't worry!

Meet Opie. I mean come on, how sweet is this face!

Okay, Jax is just as sweet and a curious little guy! I really can't get enough of either one!

The boys together!

And here's Roger - love those ears - very Yoda! :)
