Hammer does the Meet-and-Greet at Petco
March 16th, 2010
Hammer and friends met for an “adoption booth” at Petco last Saturday. He loved the attention from everyone, especially kids. I had to go slow with him when around other male dogs, though. He is not neutered yet. I shared some photos and wrote about Hammer last week – he has a condition called thrombocytopenia, his surgery was put on hold for a while to make sure his platelet count is up. He had a very fun time and came home one tired dog.
3-16-10 update: Hammer will be re-tested and hopefully neutered, microchipped, teeth cleaned, etc. tomorrow! He is on the hunt for his forever home. He is such a sweetie!
Who will come through those doors next?
Ready to meet and greet and roo and stretch and get some loves with Rosie and Baccarat.

They all look so sweet and eager.
Rosie (fawn) and Baccarat (black dog in center) are old pros at this – they are pets and are the adoption ambassadors. They loved showing Hammer the ropes.
Wonderful photo! Rosie, Baccarat and Hammer all look intent on ‘meeting and greeting’!
That is such good news. I hope his numbers are up and that all this doggie maintenance stuff goes well. He looks so much like my Ginko (who is lab+greyhound), I cannot help but love him.
I cannot help but love him either, Roxanne. He is soooo sweet. The fostering experience has been great for him (and us!). We have fine-tuned house-training, he learned that counter-surfing is not acceptable, etc. He is going to make such a wonderful pet for a loving family or person.
