Local Dog Rescue Hosts St. Patrick's Day Party For Adoptable Puppies

This St. Patrick's Day, the festivities aren’t just for humans.

The holiday celebrations continued Sunday at Helpless Hounds St. Patrick’s Day Puppy Party, a party President Amity Edwards says is centered around hound breeds.

“We take in hounds with the long floppy ears like bluetick coonhounds, all the coonhounds, bassets, beagles and bloodhounds,” she said. 

Nearly two dozen puppies from three separate litters are hoping to find the perfect fit.

“They’re ready to go to their forever homes, we just continue to work with the adopters until they’re fully vaccinated,” said Edwards.

Edwards says she knows these puppies would be a lucky charm for the right family.

“We play match-maker a little bit but you can spend time with multiple puppies while you’re here today and see if one really connects with your family," she said.

10-year-old Conner Geddings is on a mission. He's hoping to convince his parents to get a new puppy.

Although his family already has three dogs, he says the puppies are too adorable to resist.

“Because they’re really cute, and this one here’s biting my finger, but all of them here are really cute,” said Geddings. 

And whether the puppies got adopted today or just got some love, this animal rescue is creating a safe space for them - filled with love, luck and endless tail wags.
