“ I have always thought of Christmas as a good time; a kind, forgiving, generous, pleasant time; a time when men and women seem to open their hearts freely, and so I say, God bless Christmas!".

"It's not what's under the Christmas tree that matters, it's who's around it."
“Charlie” Schultz 😍

There are a lot of great Charlies around, you should really have one at your house. At little about myself, I am only 10 months old and have already had 4 kittens. They have all found good homes for the holidays and now I am hoping for one too. I am very friendly and have been fully vetted and spayed. If you would like to meet me, contact Lynn Water at [email protected]

The mission of BCAWS is to help owners keep their pets safe at home and out of shelters by providing resources such as fencing, kennels, and shelters. When possible, we assist with urgent vet care needs, provide spay/neuter services, food support, and help with rehoming. This cannot happen without the help of the community and volunteers. Changing the life of animals in need can start today with you, a simple donation can make a difference. Please visit our website and consider volunteering or becoming a monthly Angel Donor to help us be there for those who need us the most. https://www.bcaws1.org/donate-2

It’s always extra special when the last puppy of a litter gets adopted.

Congrats to Ajax! He was part of the six Addams family pups that left mid-October to head up North with Homeward Bound Dog Rescue of New York. He has had to wait a little while but he got his Christmas miracle this week. After getting his picture taken at the Paws with Claus event at the lovely Indian Ladder Farms, Ajax had a love-at-first sight moment and met his forever family!

Congratulations again to Ajax--now Doug--and the Hickling family for the story that will be told every year! ❤️🎄

“Cookies and Milk what a Treat, Santa’s Snack is Super Sweet”

And we have a Special New Cookie from the Land of Holiday Treats. Our Cookie has beautiful blue Sapphire eyes and an alluring gray coat. She is fine with dog-savvy cats - those that won't run from or hiss at her. There are also 2 other dogs in Cookie's foster home - they do ok together although she is a bit of a resource guarder. Working on that. She has been fully vetted, spayed, is leashed trained, and housebroken. She is the full package. Well there is one thing, Cookie has eaten too many Cookies and is working on losing a few pounds to get back to her girly figure. She had to renew her gym membership and is now eating weight management food. If you would like to meet her or learn more about her, contact Kristin at (865) 599-4262 or pm us.

“Christmas Times a-Comin” by the Carter Family (Spotify)

Yup that is me, Mabelle Carter, or you can just call be Mabel. I was also known as Mother Mabelle, June Carter’s mom who was married to someone who liked to sing also. We definitely are a talented family. https://encyclopediavirginia.org/poor-orphan-child-2/

More about me, I am family focused, confident, playful and joyful, the whole package. I am good with humans of all ages and I do like to sing. I am only two years old so I have a whole lotta living still left to do. If you would like to meet up with me and do some “pickin and a grinnin “ , call Kristin at (865) 599-4262 .

“Underneath the Tree or All I Want for Christmas is You” , yes those are famous Kelly Clarkson Christmas songs. Some do say my voice sounds just like hers when I sing at 6 am. Grace Kelly, why yes, I do have those same sculpted cheekbones, symmetrical features, regal pose, and timeless grace. Also, Kelly, which is Irish, means bright headed, lively, and warrior. I think I like that sound too. Well since I am only one (still a baby), I think I can be whatever I want to be. If you would like to meet me, the one and only Kelly Jr., contact my friend Kristin at 865-599- 4262. I would love to meet you for Christmas so we can sing holiday songs together as a family, I will even let you lead.

Hadn't received doghouse requests for a few months. Weird. We thought "maybe there is less need now and all the doggos have good shelter". Nah....when it rains it pours. 6 houses went out the door last week, and 6 more this week. Got to keep these babies warm and dry. Thank you Charles and Mary!
