What was your dog's shelter name?

• chewbecca Posted : 6/21/2007 8:23:12 PM Ella's shelter name was Havannah. Pretty? Maybe. But not for me and Ella is definitely an Ella. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• IrishSetterGrl Posted : 6/21/2007 8:24:54 PM Riley's name was Karl......which leads me to believe that with 30+ pups coming in at once they were desperate for name ideas, lol...... 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• houndlove Posted : 6/21/2007 8:27:13 PM Conrad was Simba. That was his name from his former family (clearly the kids named the dog--the same kids who then lost interest in the dog they wanted so badly, which is how he ended up at the pound).   Marlowe was Bubba because there is some law saying that all hounds taken in by shelters must be given names like Bubba and Cletus and Daisy Mae. Maybe some day I'll learn his original registered name if I ever contact his original breeder.     BTW Boudicea was a British Celtic queen. She led a resistance against the invading Romans. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

LOL, that is too funny!  The shelters around here just kinda do a half-hearted attempt at naming the animals...they must just pull out a name book, flip open to a random page, and slap a random name on the critter.  I guess they probably do that everywhere, and that's why it's so funny to see what they come up with [] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• kyda fett Posted : 6/21/2007 9:19:25 PM We didnt change Charlie's name because when we got him he was already 2 years old. I wish they had picked a more creative name tho, it seems every male dog is named Charlie these days :/ 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• fuzzy_dogs_mom Posted : 6/21/2007 9:32:12 PM Max was called Mookie at the shelter.  He only had that name for the 10 days he was there so he probably wasn't even aware of his name change.  I have no idea what his previous owner called him since he was found with no ID tags. Someone told me that they give them names at the shelter because when their pic goes in the paper as up for adoption, a name gives them a little more personality and makes them seem more adoptable.   Joyce 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• griffinej5 Posted : 6/21/2007 10:38:48 PM Max was named Bruno, and Georgie was named Rosie. Millie, who we had before, was named Millie, and Betty, our first dog, was named Betty. We had a cat once that was named Rage (I wonder why he was having a hard time getting a home) at the shelter. We changed his name to Peanut. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• SeaNymph Posted : 6/21/2007 11:13:24 PM Popcorn's name was originally Tanya...her previous owner named her that, I suppose.  She didn't answer to it, anyway. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
