Our final fling for this year’s Downtown Farmer’s Market

Today started out chilly (so in many of the pics you’ll see cute sweaters and jackets on the dogs), but the sun was shining and the crowd was happy so we had a great time at this last adoption event for the 2009 Downtown Farmer’s Market.

We didn’t have any adoptions today – but the doggies had a lot of great exposure to people and some visiting dogs. We took a couple of videos, as Bixby made his first appearance at an adoption event! He found a really BIG friend to play with and then found one more his size in Madison.

We always enjoy the Downtown Farmer’s Market. We’re looking forward to more invitations in the 2010 year. Till then … enjoy some photos from today!

September at Memphis Farmer’s Market

Today was really a glorious day. You could feel that fall was on its way to Memphis. Even the flowers for sale at the Farmer’s Market in Downtown Memphis brought to mind a fall day.

We had several of our fabulous dogs at today’s farmer’s market. Lots of traffic and nice folks who came over to pet the pups.

A big shout out to the faculty and students of Baptist College of Health Sciences’ School of Nursing for helping us show and tend to our dogs during the event. What a great way to study “attachment”!

Here are a few pics from today’s event. Most of the dogs posted below are still available for adoption – so be sure and visit our website at http://gdrescue.petfinder.com to read more about them and others who are up for adoption.

Remember that next weekend, Sept. 18 & 19, we’re having a Wag the Tail Garage Sale to benefit Real Good Dog Rescue. This is being held at 2331 Carrollwood Lane, Cordova, TN, which is in the Countrywood subdivision – and Friday and Saturday, the 18th and 19th, are the dates of the H-U-G-E garage sale in our community. We’ll have a variety of things for sale, with all proceeds benefiting the rescue group and going to pay the bills we incur in our efforts to rescue and save these deserving dogs and puppies. Please come see us and make a purchase.

Our set up at today’s Memphis Farmer’s Market.

Little Mocha was adopted. Now she’s called Ladybird! She’s really going to LOVE this family!

Dexter’s a cute terrier mix. Today was his first adoption event. He was ready!

A full body shot of our Ginger.

Ginger really looked at the camera – which is great, considering she’s so shy.

Ginger is an adorable young dog.

Today was Ginger’s first adoption event. She did really well.

Donna June gets some loving.

Donna June’s favorite spot was in any one of our chairs.

Donna June enjoyed chewing on a knee joint in the chair.

She takes a really good close up, our Donna June!

Hallie enjoys relaxing on the green green grass.

Scooter couldn’t be any more personable!
