Day: June 2, 2025

Thank you to Castaways for allowing us to film the interview on your beautiful patio.

Meet Rockford! This guy is about 4 years old and is as handsome as can be! Rockford came to CAAA from Georgia, and was a bit shy when he first got here. With lots of love and playtime from volunteers and staff, this guy has really come out of his shell! This guy now boasts a friendly, happy-go-lucky attitude and is always excited to see the person coming to hang with him. He loves spending time with anyone who will show him a little love and attention. Rockford had a bit of rough luck when he still lived down south, and unfortunately the poor guy was hit by a car and left on the side of the road. Luckily though, a kind person stepped in and brought him to a vet where he could get treatment. Although he healed up well and doesn’t seem to be letting anything bother him, we are still listing Rockford as a special needs adoption, due to any conditions that may arise in the future as a result of previous injuries. Rockford is an anxious boy who isn’t a big fan of being confined, so a crate may not be the best idea for this cutie. He is looking for a family who understands his quirks as well as an active family who like to go on long walks or hikes everyday. Rockford is now a part of our Extended Stay Program, so we have lowered his adoption fee in hopes that he may find a home a bit easier!

Did you know Yella on the Water (Western Ave) is open on Mondays?? Very convenient for my Margarita Monday celebrations. I asked for any kind of fruit flavored margarita and Ewan suggested strawberry and there you go. A strawberry margarita at a table by the window along the boulevard to celebrate Margarita Monday! The sour mix was delightful and the service excellent. It won’t be our last visit!! Cheers!
