Junkyard Dogs

Junkyard Dogs
I spotted these two mischievous, I almost want to say demented looking, dogs while taking pictures at a home where police ar investigating the deaths of a number of dogs found dead at a home on Mitchem Road near Ranlo on Thursday October 13, 2011.

Hooters for Neuters

Hooters for Neuters
Brandon Dougherty, 7, and his mom Cathy Dougherty pet a dog from the Gaston County Animal Shelter up for adoption at the Hooters for Neuters event at Hooters on Saturday November 6, 2010. The shelter brought eight last-chance dogs to the event, with several, including this one, finding homes.
Adopt Me
Two kittens wait to be adopted during the event, put on by the Gaston County Low-Cost Spay / Neuter Clinic.
Sloppy kiss
Caleb McCraw-Guyer, 8, gets a sloppy kiss from a dog in the back of a Gaston County Animal Control truck on Saturday November 6, 2010 at the Hooters For Neuters event. Friends of McCraw-Guyer's family adopted the dog at the event, and while he won't be the owner, he said he will be seing the pet all the time.

Mayfair Uproar


Bernice Fuller, above, in front of her home at Mayfair Apartments. Fuller received notice she is being evicted for placing food outside for a stray cat she nicknamed Bojangles after his love for the chicken from the restaurant of the same name.

Below: Dr. Chandra Meachem-Tucker, left, gives Bojangles an exam at Riverside Animal Hospital. Bojangles was brought to the hospital by the Humane Society at the request of Fuller after she received an eviction notice.

Bojangles was diagnosed with Feline immunodeficiency virus (the feline equivalent of HIV), mild heart worms, fleas, cuts, bruises, and other ailments, but according to Meachem-Tucker he could live a long and happy life with treatment and caring owners.
