#BWLuckyDog: Rocky

Meet Rocky!

Our fifth #BWLuckyDog is Rocky, from Lucky Labs Rescue!

Meet this week’s pup! Rocky from Lucky Labs: Rocky is a lab-mix stray that was rescued from a very small shelter in SC. He is only about a year old and is still very much a puppy!  Rocky is fully house trained and loves to play.  He gets along with his foster lab sister and all the furry friends at doggy day care.  Rocky needs a family that will love him and give him lots of attention.  He is very smart and needs to be kept busy, either playing with another dog his age or with an active human that will take him for walks everyday or the doggy park, or even to work with you!  Rocky goes in the crate during the day when we leave, but not at night.  He loves to be with his people when they are home and will snuggle beside you on the couch or by your feet at night. As active as Rocky is during the day, he is just as ready to sleep at night – and sleeps straight thru the night! Rocky will be an awesome dog for a family willing to take the time to play with him.

#BWLuckyDog: Repa

Meet Repa!

Our fourth #BWLuckyDog is Repa, from Long Trails to Happy Tails Rescue!

Repa was found in the backseat of a repossessed car. The car she was in was towed to the lot, and left for THREE days before any pictures were taken of the car. When they opened the back door, they found Repa sitting there on the seat. She is truly a miracle too, because she was left in the car during days that the temperature was above 75 degrees each day. Repa is almost 4 months old, crate and potty trained, and she’s learning basic commands. Repa loves dogs, cats, and kids of all shapes and sizes, and is just a great girl! She is truly our miracle baby, and we couldn’t be happier to feature her story through your campaign!

For more information on or a chance to meet Repa, please email Long Trails to Happy Tails Rescue at longtrailshappytails@gmail.com.

Meet Gidget!

Our third #BWLuckyDog is Gidget, from Carolina Big Hearts Big Barks!

Gidget is the perfect combination of silly and sweet all rolled up into one. Gidget is a boxer/pit bull mix who is approximately 2 years old, smaller in size at only 35 pounds and still looking for her forever home. She is completely house broken, crate trained and 100% love bug! She is either entertaining her foster parents with her silly antics or curled up in a ball cuddling. Gidget spends most of her day playing with her four legged foster brothers. She does great with other dogs of all sizes and cats, once given an opportunity to learn they don’t want to hurt her. Gidget was rescued from a shelter after being held as evidence in an animal cruelty case. When she came into rescue she was a scared little girl who has blossomed and discovered it is ok to trust, love and have fun. Now all Gidget needs is the happily ever after she deserves.

For more information on or a chance to meet Gidget, please email Carolina Big Hearts Big Barks at carolinabigheartsbigbarks@gmail.com.

#BWLuckyDog Campaign

Black Wednesday Introduces “Lucky Dog” Campaign Presented by The Waggle Company

 

Today we launched our 4th series today; the 13-week “Lucky Dog” campaign, presented by The Waggle Company: Charlotte’s premier dog walking service, will feature available black dogs under the care of local rescues.

 

The Lucky Dog campaign was inspired by the company’s love for dogs and in acknowledgement of the “Black Dog Effect,” the idea that black dogs are less likely to get rescued because they are either intimidating, hard to see at the shelter, or unlucky. Black Wednesday has engaged local rescues South of the Bully, Halfway There, Carolina Big Hearts Big Barks, Long Trails Happy Tails, Carolina Paws, and Lucky Labs.

 

Each Wednesday throughout the campaign an adoptable black pup will get posted to Black Wednesday’s social channels; In the spirit of supporting the new family, one who adopts a #BWLuckyDog during the campaign will get a “welcome home package” including $30 in dog walking credit from The Waggle Company, $35 worth of services at Spay Neuter Charlotte, $100 off a training session with KeenDog, a dog bath from the Dog Salon, $30 off an exam at VetweRx, a custom flag from Flagology, and more.

 

“Every dog should have a good home; working with the local rescues and dog-loving brands to support making that happen is so exciting,”  says BW owner, Corri Smith.

 

“We support dog rescues and the wonderful people who adopt so we are thrilled to partner with Black Wednesday on this campaign,” says Meggie Williams, co-owner of The Waggle Company. “We want to make it as easy as possible for someone to make the decision to adopt a rescue dog, which is why we’re giving $30 in Waggle credit to for each rescue adoption through this campaign.”
