This past weekend, we took the sweetest mom & daughter duo from Habersham County Animal Shelter on a little adventure around downtown City of Clarkesville.

Brylee is 2 years old & Brandy is 1. They were both pretty nervous when we first met them, especially Brylee. When she gets scared or unsure, she makes herself as flat as possible on the ground. It's almost like she's trying to disappear.

Getting dogs out of the shelter for a few hours may seem like a small thing, but it can make such a big difference. Shelter life can be overwhelming with all the noise, activity & unfamiliar surroundings. Giving them a chance to get away from their kennel, experience new sights and smells, explore and just be dogs gives them an opportunity to relax and decompress.

And you can actually see the difference it makes. Their tails start to relax, their ears perk up and, little by little, you start to see their personalities come out.

Brylee & Brandy had quite the adventure! We explored downtown Clarkesville, visited Mauldin House, stopped for pup cups at Scoops Clarkesville &, of course, did A LOT of sniffing along the way. 🥰

I shared their entire adventure on the blog, along with photos & videos. If you'd like to see what happens when two nervous shelter dogs get a few hours to simply enjoy being dogs, check it out here:

And if you can't adopt, remember that there are still so many ways you can help shelter animals. Sometimes, a few hours of your time can mean more to them than you realize.
