Psalms 68:6 "God makes homes for those who are abandoned; He makes free those who are bound with chains." Tuesday, 8:44 AM - Remington, or “Rem” for short, was one of several owner surrendered dogs that were turned in to the Walton County Animal Control shelter on March 19, 2018. His owner had hip surgery and could no longer take care of such a big boy. With the shelter getting near capacity, time was of the utmost importance. I had several dogs lined up for photo sessions this morning. We had to move some dogs out to adopters and rescues quickly to avoid bad endings. “Rem” was a bit nervous in the kennel and it showed in a couple of his shots. But that is understandable after being removed from a home you grew up in and put into a loud kennel. But with a few pet photography tricks, I managed a bit of a head tilt and smile. A squeeky toy or ball thrown above the head can work wonders in getting those ears perked up! I wish I had more time to give him a chance to relax and get more shots, but had to move on. That’s how it is in an open intake animal control shelter. They can’t turn people away surrendering animals and you never know when the next one is coming in. “Remington” was photographed for the Walton County Animal Control shelter in Monroe, Georgia, USA on March 20, 2018. He was placed on the shelter’s website, www.waltonpets.net to find him an adopter or rescue. He was rescued on March 26, 2018 by Ollie's Angels Rescue!

Remy now lives with us in NY on Long Island. He loves to ride in our boat on the lake in the Berkshires and is adjusting nicely. We have had him since late July 2018. He loves people and is spirited and sweet!
