The Happy Wag

Poser pooches wanted

I take a lot of pictures of my pets. Judging by how slow my husband's PC is lately, I would say I take way too many photos of my pets. But you have to snap a bunch to get a couple of good ones, and mine are never quite frame-worthy, really.

If you would like to have a nice portrait of your pet that is indeed worthy of a frame, and you like to help local nonprofit groups dedicated to the love of pets and people, then check out this deal from Kevin Hurley Photography.

On March 6 and 7, you can book a photo sitting for your pooch or kitty for $49. I guess you could also book your fish, parakeet or turtle, but I would think you could probably photograph your own turtle no matter how slow your shutter speed. I mean, not a lot of action there.

For your $49 photo session, you will recieve one 5x7 and two 3x5 prints, and Hurley will donate $25 of the fee to one of three local organizations of your choosing: the Roanoke Valley SPCA, St. Francis Service Dogs or the Roanoke Dog Park.

Sittings are by appointment only and you have to be prepared to pay in advance, and there is no refund for a missed appointment. Call 345-3055 to book a sitting and for more details.

And thanks to Christa of Black Dog Salvage for letting me know.

Foster homes for the holidays

The Roanoke Valley SPCA is participating in the national “Foster A Lonely Pet For the Holidays” pet fostering program.

Over 13,000 pet rescue organizations nationwide are trying to empty the kennels for Christmas, encouraging families to open their home for the holidays to an adoptable pet waiting for a forever home.

Fostered pets can be picked up between December 18-23, and can be returned to the RVSPCA between December 30-January 2.

The RVSPCA will provide all needed supplies and support to the temporary families. You can view all of the pets online at www.rvspca.org, or visit the shelter to meet them.  The goal is to have each of these pets into a home by noon on December 23.

Ann Marie Sweeney, foster coordinator for the RVSPCA, will answer questions about the program for people interested in making this Christmas a happy holiday for a pet in need.  Contact Sweeney at 344-4840, ext. 208 or e-mail asweeney@rvspca.org.
