Adoptable Pet of the Week!!

I was cruising the adoptable list at PAWS Atlanta and came across this sweet fur kid. When I read her story my heart just broke. I can't believe people would be so cruel to an animal who's only goal in life is to make you happy. Please help Nilah find a home!!

Here is her story:

Nilah is one of the most mellow and kind-hearted dogs you will ever come across, but she has been through a lot in her young life.  She was adopted as a puppy, with her sister, from PAWS Atlanta.  6 years later she showed up, with her sister, at a local animal control.  Her owners were nowhere to be found, but her microchip showed that she had come from PAWS.  We drove out to get them both right away, and we were horrified by what we saw.  They were both emaciated and had possible burns on their paws.  Nilah would scream if anyone moved too quickly around her.  She has really come a long way since then and meets all sorts of strangers every day.  She loves people, being brushed, taking short walks, toys, and treats.  She grows more trusting every day and, no matter how scared she is in any given situation, she has never shown aggression.  She does not treat people the way she herself was treated.  She has been at PAWS Atlanta for a year now, and she is more than ready to get into a good home with people who will be gentle with her and give her the love she deserves.

Birthday Parties at Bark ATL!!

Have you considered celebrating your pups next birthday Bark ATL style?? Would you like to know more about our birthday party package?? Then keep reading because I am going to share with you why birthdays celebrated at Bark ATL are so special!

 Not only is your fur kid the star that day, but we dress him/her in festive party attire and their guests get to wear fun hats!

On the menu you will find pupcakes (our own secret recipe filled with yummy goodness safe for our furry friends to eat) and Lick A Lots doggie ice cream.

 The pup of honor also gets a cool cake like this one to take home!

 I haven't met a pup yet that doesn't like our pupcakes!

And the lick a lots are always a big hit. No need for a party to have them though. They are the best way for your pup to cool down on a hot day!

The birthday pup has a photo shoot with world renowned photographer, Morgan B! Well, maybe he isn't world renowned, but he is the party and holiday photographer at Bark ATL and we think he does an awesome job!

But the best thing about birthday parties at Bark ATL is that your pup gets to party with five of their closest daycare friends till they are full and tired!

Now on to the fine print-

If your pup has a friend(s) they would like to invite that do not come to Bark ATLwe can accommodate them. They just need to be current on vaccines and be spayed/neutered and be a well behaved dog! We will treat the birthday party like a temperament test and if all goes well (and why wouldn't it if they are friends with your pup!) they are welcome back to Bark ATL any time. Please contact us at 404-688-2275 or info@barkatl.com with any questions or to reserve a party spot for your birthday pup.

Bark ATL's Little Student of the Week: Watson!!!!

Bark ATL's little pup student of the week is Watson!! This two year old wire-hared dachshund is one of the more popular kids in school. If you were to meet him, you would know why. 

 

 

Watson has a very laid back and chill disposition. He's cool with running around the room with friends or chillin on top of the play cube.

Watson is a total party animal. Can't cha tell??

Watson is also a ladies man. Here he is with his oh so stylish friends Prada and Puppi.

Watson is a man of mystery and disguise. If he wants to be seen, you will see him. Otherwise he is incognito. 

All of Watson's friends say the same thing about him. If you ever need someone to talk to or lean on in rough times Watson is the best guy for the job.

Watson says he loves all dogs, big and small. He hopes one day to break outta the little dog room and make his way over to the bigs. Hate to tell him that isn't going to happen!

So for now he hangs with his buds in the little pup room. Quincy said he's glad Watson has to stay. It just wouldn't be the same without him!

I've also been told that he is a good kisser!

Congratulatios on being Bark ATL's student of the week!! You deserve it!!

Adoptable Pet of the Week!!

Today's adoptable pet comes from Atlanta Pet Rescue. His name is Ollie and he is too cute!!

Ollie is a  male Terrier mix pup. He probably has a little bit of Basenji in him, judging from the wrinkles on his forehead and the smile on his face. Ollie is cute as a button and very intelligent, too. He has high energy and needs daily playtime and exercise as well as time in your lap. He also likes to play with other dogs. If you are looking for a great family dog in a small package, Ollie is the one for you!

 

What my foster parents say about me:

4/21/11: Ollie is always happy and ready to play!  He enjoys wrestling and running around in our backyard with our dog.  He LOVES to play fetch and he actually brings a toy/ball back as long as we throw.  He also loves to chew on stuff, so please get him a lot of chew toys!  Since he plays so hard during the day, he calms down in the evening and enjoys watching TV with us on a sofa.  When he is not playing, he really enjoys being in his person's lap.  He is crate trained now and sleeps through the night without any accident.  He'll be great for anybody, especially for an active, fun loving household!

Help us find Ollie a forever home by posting this on your facebook wall, email it to friends and shout it from the rooftops!!

Bark ATL's Big Student of the Week: Vivi!!!!

Bark ATL's big dog student of the week this week is Vivi!! This lovable Vizsla has been a Bark student for quite some time. Vivi is great at making newcomers feel welcome and helps by showing them the ropes.

But her favorite person in the world is her little sister, Ava! This is their first Halloween together.

And how adorable are they celebrating their second Christmas?? I love that they aren't afraid to get into the holiday spirit with festive head gear!

I think Ava and Vivi love the Holidays! Here they are getting ready to go trick or treat.

Too bad Vivi didn't bring her princess costume home from school to

wear out!

    

Vivi said this picture doesn't do her justice. She feels she makes a waaaaay better rein-dog than an elf. I promised her that this year we will try a different costume!

And who couldn't resist this adorable bunny face?? I know, Viv, enough with the costumes already!

Congratulations on being Bark ATL's student of the week, Vivi!

Bark ATL's Walk in the Park!!

Many of you know that we are now offering special services, one of which are walks in Piedmont Park! We have had several pups take advantage of this and they all LOVE it. We take very small groups (1-3 dogs of the same size) to Piedmont Park for an hour of fun in the sun (and grass)! We don't visit the dog park, but we do give your dog a nice leisurely walk around the pond and through the walking paths. Cost for the one-hour outing is an additional $25.00 extra (added onto your regular day care / boarding invoice).

For an extra $15.00, we'll snap a photo of your dog with the Atlanta skyline as a backdrop. Fergus was happy to smile for his photo! Talk about a city dog! These pups loved their walk, too.

Sebastian's Birthday Bash Bark ATL Style!!

We celebrated Sebastian's birthday last week and wanted to share some of the pictures from his birthday bash, Bark ATL style!!

 All of his best friends were in attendance, including Ginger Belle

Joey and Mikey

Bailey

 And Sebastian's sister, Emma!

 Once all the guests arrived it was time to bring out the Lick A Lot's doggie ice cream.

Ginger Belle loves the yummy peanut butter taste!

 Joey is kindly letting Mia know that this is his ice cream and that she already ate hers!

 Mikey said to hurry up and take the picture so he can eat his.

Mia says she smells the pupcakes!!

That got the crowd excited!!

Birthday boy first....

I think they are a hit!

 I love that they are all sharing the pupcakes.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Now that we are full it's time to par-tay!!

Looks like someone spiked Mia's punch!

 Mia is trying to give the birthday boy a smooch but he is too excited about his party to notice.

Ginger Belle just told the funniest joke to Mia: "A dog walks into a bar and says to the bartender, “It’s my birthday. How about a free drink?” “Sure,” says the barkeep, “the mens toilet is on the right."

I think the kids are tuckered out from partying all afternoon. Time to go in for some AC!

Happy Birthday Sebastian!!
