Rescue Story: A friend of a friend took in a pregnant pibble that was living at their neighbors house and was not being taken care of! Nash was one of 4 puppies left about to head to the shelter and he was the cutest brindle baby and I could not resist! I know what happens to pibble puppies and I sprung into action.
Baby Nash!
What is your favorite pastime as a family? We love to take Nash to the park to chase the BALL!! He is obsessed!! He runs himself silly and you have to make him take breaks. He is very agile and also loves to catch the frisbee!!
What is life like since you rescued Nash? Non-stop and crazy!! I would not change it for anything! When we go out of town I miss all the animals like crazy!!

Photographers Note: I met up with Carissa & Chris over on the West End area of Atlanta. It was a beautiful fall day and true to what it says in his story, Nash played ball for me and could have kept going I am sure for hours. He was having a blast. Course I had to get him to slow down for a few close up here and there. I have such a soft spot for beautiful brindle pibbles and their gorgeous markings.
Carissa & Chris mentioned they have a rotating cast of fosters coming through their home. Well if the foster is a pit bull type dog I always offer to take some additional shots of that dog to help them get adopted. They brought their current foster with them, her name was Heidi. I took some photos of her but also fell in love with her little potato body and round fat head. So those photos never saw the light of day because my partner Dan & I adopted her two days later! More to come, as she will get her own story eventually but here is a sneak peak of the newest member of our family who now goes by Clementine! We are so thankful that Carissa & Chris approved us to be her forever family!
