Please welcome Lysander

Written by a CP volunteer



Lysander was picked up as a stray by animal control and brought to a high kill shelter outside of Atlanta, GA. I was sent his information from a shelter volunteer, and I forwarded his info and photos to intakes. I, Naggy Nancy, inquired on his status a bunch, and felt the least I could do was offer to have him come hang out at the barking boys ranch (aka my home).

Maureen, Deb, and Laura, were instrumental in getting him out of there, taking him to the vet, and putting him on a plane to Connecticut. His flight was on my birthday, so Mo volunteered to go to the airport and fetch him for me.

He is a sweetie, full of affection and kisses, and great with dogs, kids and adults. He loves scritches, naturally. Walks well on leash and is easily handled and very tolerant of poking and prodding. He is very playful and spunky and races through the yard with my other young foster girl.

Lysander is not more than 2 years old, and about 15 lbs. So far he demonstrates good house manners. He is attentive to tone of voice and fairly obedient. Welcome to Col. Potter!

Lysander rescued by CP!

Written by a CP Intakes volunteer



Well today surely was a lucky day for Lysander! This smiling boy found himself at a very high kill shelter, with his time up. Thanks to a dedicated shelter volunteer who visits regularly to see if she can find rescues for the urgent ones, Col. Potter was contacted to help. After a couple of false starts trying to get him, we got the shelter OK for today. Deb and her granddaughter drove to bring him into the loving arms of CP.

He is estimated to be under two years old, and sweet as can be. He loved Deb's granddaughter, and smiled for the camera. From all accounts, he will be a wonderful addition to a very lucky family!

He is getting his spa treatment- and will be looking for a loving foster home following that.

Welcome, Lysander!
