Crosby

Thought I would drop a line and give you an update on Crosby. He is a wonderful addition to our family, he has fit in so well it is like this was meant to be his home. I do not have too many pictures of him yet because he does not tend to sit still very much:) Crosby is doing wonderful with leash training and has learned how to play fetch like a pro. One of his favorite past-times has become chasing the shop-vac hose around the family room in the basement while we are in the process of trying to clean our corn stove. My oldest son is teaching him how to speak, shake and dance. It is adorable. Thank you all again for the wonderful opportunity to give Crosby a home.

Sorry it took me so long to send you pictures. We renamed Appleonia to Penny. She is a loved member of our family as you can see by the photos. Her older sister Phoebe also wanted a picture sent. As you can see, they are spoiled, and enjoy time resting on our bed. We also are avid boaters on the Mississippi river and pictures were taken there also. Brad and Wendy Pettit

Wilson

Our family recently adopted “Thomas” from your facility and I thought I would pass along a few cute pics of him.
He is loving life and really loving tormenting our great dane. We did change his name though, we call him Wilson.

Mason is doing great! He's gained 10 lbs. since coming home with us in July (weighing 85 lbs. now) and his hair has come in beautifully. He enjoys playing with the boys and their neighborhood friends. He loves stealing their footballs and galloping around as they chase him. It really is very cute.He also enjoys attending baseball and football games as the kids often call him their mascot. We often get questioned about him as he is quite unique looking, having grown into a very handsome boy.I've included some recent photos. We're so glad Mason is a part of our family. Thank you for taking such good care of him during his stay with you.

Sorry it has taken so long to give you an update on Bonnie Blue (name changed from Toni) whom we adopted on September 8. She is an incredibly sweet dog and her addition to our home has been amazing. Here she is with her new best friend, Dixie (previously Dezzy), whom we adopted from you last December 10. What beautiful animals--we are so fortunate to have been able to give them a home. They get long walks twice a day--and only rarely have to be left alone. They are always together. Bonnie has really grown alot since we brought her home last month. She is a vigorous eater, though what lab isn't. Bonnie is really a snuggler-don't tell her she's getting too big to sleep on your lap. She wants nothing more than being close to us-even if it means sharing limited space on the recliner. Thanks much for allowing us to make Bonnie and Dixie members of our family.

Happy Puppy Tail....We got our puppy from you back in the summer of 2005. He was born from a mother dog that came to you, pregnant, and soon gave birth to 9 puppies. Cooter is a German Sheperd mix (terrier?). Exactly what we were looking for. Cooter is now 4 yrs. old and happy living at our 50 acre farm with 2 horses, chickens, 6 kids and my hubby and I. As you can see in the picture, we have a crick (the Eau Galle) right across our driveway and the boys love to bring him for a romp in the water. He is best friends with our little guy, 4 year old Haydon. Cooter also has a special playmate, Lucky, our 8 year old blue healer/border collie. Cooter is very well looked after, very happy and very loved by all the family.

In his spare time, he likes best to hang with one of our old horses, Lori. She recently had some infection in her leg and he never left her side during all of her shots, cold hosing, special feedings and TLC. He even got locked in her stall with her (accidentally) for a couple of hours and when we went to care for the horse again, he just came trotting out like, "She's ok. I've been watching out for her." You can truly see the love between them.

Thank you so much for giving us Cooter (from the Dukes of Hazard...). He has been a wonderful addition to our busy, but loving family. Truly a blessing to us all. He is such a good dog. Very loving, independent, strong, smart and full of energy to spend with our kids. Thanks you, Cassie Langer

Dear Hsbc,
It has been a little over 1 year since we adopted Baby Girl, and a little over 2 years since we adopted Joe (Gordy). I can't thank you all enough for making our family complete. Baby Girl has really come out of her shell over the winter/spring and is now a very confident, loving dog. Her and Joe get along so great! We just love them both to death. They both really enjoy playing fetch, wrestling with each other, chewing bones, hanging out with us, cuddling, and going fishing with us. Joe enjoys the water, but Baby Girl does not. Maybe she will more as we take her around it more often. Anyway, I just wanted to write and say thank you once again! Here are some recent pictures of our sweet puppies.
Love, Ben, Becca, Joe and Baby Girl :)
