ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – Summer temperature levels suggest overcrowding for lots of city Atlanta shelters. Shelters depend on rescue partners to help look after pups, both companies depend on fosters, like Rusty Walton.
Walton has actually been cultivating animals for more than twenty years.
“I usually take in dogs that need some rehabilitation, that other people are not…able to handle,” said Walton, who is a professional photographer and artist.
Doggie Harmony is the rescue that assisted set Rusty and Luna. The not-for-profit counts on neighborhood members to step up and foster dogs.
”What we are attempting to do is divert animals from going to our overcrowded county shelters,” said Jaime Sprague with Doggie Harmony.
“I guess (Luna) had two original owners that gave her up. Both of them couldn’t handle her,” said Walton.
She has actually been challenging. It has actually taken some time for her to react to commands and get in touch with a human at all.
“She is getting to the point where she is very little work. She will come, off the leash. Her recall is great,” said Walton.
Luna has labels. Mama Hen is among them. Named after chicks in Rusty’s yard that appear to gravitate towards Luna. She takes the job with a gentleness and interest that has actually won the hearts of almost everybody who satisfies her. She is kind, complete of energy and love.
“When you get down to it, she is a fantastic dog. She is a special dog in that she is completely self-confident,” said Walton.
She is trying to find her permanently home and thanks to Walton, she doesn’t need to wait in a shelter, she can hold tight in a Atlanta community, where life is calm and the living is simple.
