Dolly Parton and Max Mitchell made their return featured appearances on Friday’s Furry Friends. Dolly was a star in late April and Max in late March. Neither has had many meet and greets since then, which is a shame. So it was another opportunity for the two lovebugs to show their stuff July 14!!
Friday’s Furry Friends featured some beautiful eyes, belonging to Charlie and Lucas (adopted)!! The two loving dogs showed why they should be furry friends!!
Bruno (Adopted)
Do not judge a book by it’s cover, first impressions are not always correct! That is the case with many GCHS shelter dogs, who have gate reactivity, which in turn hurts their chances of having a meet and greet with potential adopters. GCHS’ trainer, Joy, explains what gate reactivity is and what the real outcome is when you get past the gate reactivity on Friday’s Furry Friends June 16 segment. Bruno is one great example…he is a loving dog, but shows otherwise with his gate reactivity.
Cameron and Honey were featured on Friday’s Furry Friends June 9! Cameron was soon adopted after and Honey definitely made lots of friends after her appearance!
Marshall and Snow were quite the duo on Friday’s Furry Friends May 26! So much in fact, Snow was soon adopted after!! Marshall is still waiting, make his day and visit him at GCHS!
