Layla & Daphne - East C.A.N. Adoptables! {Nashville Dog Photographer}

January 30, 2014 Mandy2

I promised more pups and today we have two sweet ladies that really want to find their forever homes! First up today is Daphne! Daphne is a beautiful one year old blue brindle mix and weighs about 45 pounds (which I think is the perfect size!) She loves to play and run around, but also loves to snuggle when time for bed. She even likes to get under the covers!

Daphne is a people-pleaser and enthusiastically wags her tail when she sees her person. In fact, her foster parents nick-named her “Wiggle-Butt.” She is currently living with her foster parents’ two dogs, and is doing great, but she'd probably do best in a home without any cats. Daphne loves going for car rides and knows the commands sit, shake, and wait. She will not eat until given permission. She is house trained, spayed, and up-to-date with vetting.

Next is sweet Layla. Layla was SO good during our photo shoot. She just posed and posed some more for me! Layla is a mellow girl and is only 35 pounds, so she's a pretty small gal. Layla is doing great in her foster home and recently hung out with her foster's 9 and 10 year old cousins and loved them! I just love her little serious face. She is about 2 and ½ years old. She loves to play, go on walks and is a huge cuddle bug. She is terrific in the car and is housebroken!

If you are interested in meeting Daphne or Layla (or any of the pups I've been blogging this week!) please email info@eastcan.org or go ahead and fill out the application on East C.A.N.'s website!

Here's DAPHNE!

and LAYLA!

Barney & Mick - East C.A.N. Adoptables {Nashville Dog Photographer}

January 28, 2014 Mandy2

I promised a lot of dogs on the blog this week and that is exactly what you are going to get! Up on today's blog are two sweet, big boys - Barney & Mick! First up is sweet, happy, energetic Barney. He currently lives in a foster home with 8 other animals. Yep, you read that right. So, Barney is very animal friendly. He had some super sweet playtime with a very little puppy while I was there photographing him. Barney is about 1 year old and really loves to play.

He's just a lovable goofball! He has been neutered and is up-to-date on his vaccinations. Barney wants nothing more than to be near his leader and will wait patiently for instruction once he knows what’s being asked of him. Trying to play fetch with him is hysterical. He will chase the ball…but only for a second before he runs straight back to his person with those eyes begging for acceptance and love. There really is something special about this boy, and we can’t wait to see him flourish in a home that gives him the life he deserves. He will be an amazing companion!

Next up is Mick. He is a gorgeous big boy with the softest fur ever. Seriously, it feels like velvet. And those ears!! A very handsome boy for sure. Mick came into East C.A.N. when a member saw him get hit by a car. He managed to survive the accident without any major injuries! Simply put, this boy is amazing. He’s bounced back from his accident so well and he’s a sweet guy who wants nothing more than to hang out with you and get a belly rub or an ear scratch.

He’s a big strong guy, so he would likely do best with older children, but he’s also a gentle enough soul that he should be fine with younger children with proper supervision. He’s smart, very eager to please, and very responsive when you tell him what he’s supposed to do. He also LOVES treats, which helps so much with training. He’s crate trained and is learning his leash manners. Mick weighs about 65 pounds, he’s fully vetted, neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations and microchipped.

If you’re interested in offering Barney or Mick a forever home, please contact info@eastcan.org. Learn more about the adoption process at East C.A.N.'s website - while you're there check out all the sweet adoptables (more pics coming to the website soon!)

Opie, Jax & Roger {Nashville Dog Photographer}

January 27, 2014 Mandy2

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!
