Alanna

Josie (formerly Alanna) seems to be adjusting quite nicely. She had her stitches out this morning and the vet will follow-up with me on the fecal sample. Josie is no longer afraid of getting in and out of the truck. I took her on several long walks after a rise so she would know that a car ride does not necessarily mean going to the vet. She has also learned to climb stairs since I live on the second floor of my house. She seems eage to please and comes (usually) when called although I always have a leash on her when outside. Your video is quite helpful and I look forward to helping Josie learn her manners and a few tricks.Erin

Pia and Huey

Hi there, our little babies, renamed "Hannah" (Huey) and "Emily" (Pia) by our daughter are loving their new set-up! Our daughter loves holding them and would 24/7 if I would allow her to! We have set certain times up during the day that the cts get a break and they usually nap! We also have a room that is their "safe-zone" where they cn be completely alone and free to eat and then another room to use the box in privacy. We can hear both of them scrambling around wrestling each other when we leave them alone, and they just love to quiet down after playing and sleep all snuggled up by each other! We are still waiting for them to be a bit more relaxed and holdable but understand that its gotta be a bit overwhelming with the kids chasing them around! So, I'm sure it'll come after time. We will definitely let you know if questions come up but for now we are fine. Thanks for the opportunity to bring even more joy into our home!

Beautiful Bargain Beauford

The day we came to your shelter to "just look at the dogs" was one of the best days of this year. The beautiful golden eys of an oddly colored dog caught our attention. The next thing we knew Beauford was leaning against my husband insisting on playing fetch. He won us over with his enthusiasm and determination.

Three months later we still don't know how long he will play fetch; we tire out long before he does. An unexpected bonus is that we are losing weight and toning up due to our increased exercise.

Speaking of bonuses: Beauford came to us neutered, micro-chipped and vet checked for a cost that is less than a few month's gym fees.

You folks are not only contributing to the health and well being of the pets you serve, but also their new owners!

Thanks and keep up the good work,

Karen
