FOTAS is hosting a book reading and signing event for Colton & Casey Mason’s first printing of “I Just Want to Snuggle” today from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Aiken County Animal Shelter. The beautifully illustrated children’s book is about Cooper, the sweet black and white mixed breed they adopted from the County Shelter in 2020.
Cooper will be with Casey, ready to snuggle with attendees while she signs books. Books will be available for purchase at the event, with a portion of the proceeds donated to FOTAS.
Following today’s book reading and signing, visitors can create their own storybook ending from 1:00 to 4:30, as all adoption fees will be waived during this time period. That’s right. You can adopt your own dog who “just wants to snuggle” for $0!
The shelter is full of terrific, adoptable pets but please be sure to visit our canine residents who have been here the longest, including:
Bam Bam. One of the shelter’s largest dogs up for adoption, six-year-old Bam Bam weighs in at 73 pounds. He walks well on a leash and is cuddly. If you’re looking for a couch companion, Bam Bam is your guy.
Faith. Sweet, senior mixed breed Faith loves people, especially children. Nine-year-old, 51-pound Faith has tagged along with FOTAS during school visits and each time she behaved like a rock star. She would be great as an only pet or possibly with a calm, larger dog.
Butler. Handsome, four-year-old. 45-pound Butler is a playful dog who loves being with people and would be a great companion. With his big personality and athleticism, he is a great dog for an active person or family.
Diesel. Mixed breed Diesel stands out not just due to his white coat but also because he is quite a character and appreciates every bit of affection he receives from people. This three-year-old, 38-pound pup would love a fenced-in backyard to play in.
Dipsy Doodle. This sweetheart is our smallest long-term resident and loves to fetch tennis balls. With her cuddly personality, this four-year-old, 51-pound mixed breed will make a wonderful pet for a single person or couple.
Suzie. Nicknamed “Super Suzie,” this wonderful pup loves other dogs. She is a tad shy at first, but quickly warms up to you. Three-year-old, 45-pound Suzie loves to play in water and go on walks.
Their lives are in our hands.
