Barker


Back in January of 2005 (I think) my husband and I adopted Barker, a redbone coonhound, you had at your facility. I wanted you to know that he is doing really well. He now has a fenced-in backyard to run in and loves chasing the squirrel that lives in the big tree in the backyard. He also loves attending doggy daycare to play with all the other dogs and going to our cottage in the summer where he enjoys swimming in the lake, all day long mind you.

I am pregnant and due September 2 and we look forward to Barker being a big brother. He loves children and have no doubt he will be a great companion to our child. He has truly been a great addition to our family and we feel so lucky to have been able to adopt him. We cannot imagine our lives without him.

Sign


Sign is doing great and is fun to have around. Thought I would attach a picture of our two little shelter "puppies" bonding. Aspen will always be our little 85lb pup!

Lucy - formally known as Muffin


Lucy is totally at home with the dogs and snuggles with the female (Tia) that we got from you folks a year of so ago. She plays with a variety of toys but her favorite seems to be playing hockey on the kitchen floor with a plastic bottle cap. She gets along fine with our two other cats unless she goes into a sustained attack-mode, and then they just meow at her and seek shelter. We try to watch for the signs and will separate the players if the old fuddy-duddy cats get tired of the rough-housing they get from Lucy.

Clover


Clover is doing incredibly well and we are absolutely in love with her! She seems to have adjusted and knows that we're "her people". We go for a walk around the park every morning - some days I actually have to talk her into getting out of bed - and once we're there she has to greet every dog she see's. We're probably a little excessive with the toys and treats but we figure she's had a tough go of it and deserves to be a princess! She spends her days sleeping on the couch, taking a stretch then moving to our bed, and sometimes she even takes a nap in her bed!
She has the funniest habit of taking her various bones and a few toys out of the toy basket and placing them in a sort of line in front of her. Then she alternates chewing on a bone, tossing a toy around, choosing another bone to chew on, tossing another toy around, then another bone, then another......
I'm attaching some pictures, hopefully the package I sent will arrive soon as well.
We really are so glad to have her, thank you.
Nicole and Perry

Cierra - formally known as Peachy

Cierra is having a great time here. She piles all her toys into one spot and then tries to grab at least two of them at a time in her mouth. She also loves the tennis ball!!
Cierra is loving life with her new family in Greendale, Wi!

Bailey - formally known Ruby

This is the dog we adopted-her name was Ruby - but we changed it to Bailey - she is so good.
She now lives in Voyager Village at the end of a cul-de-sac, dirt road, we are the only house in the circle. She loves the woods. She is such a good dog. We love her so much.
