Bess

Hi. We had noticed that you didn't have a picture of Bess now known as Bailey in your sucess stories. Please see attached. Bailey had just celebrated her 2nd birthday last week. She weighs in at 102.5 lbs and is loving life. Thank you for bringing her into our lives! Sincerely, Keri and Kevin O'Neill

Tahlia

Thought you would like an update on Trixie...I have attached a picture of her most recent grooming! She is doing wonderfully, and we love and adore her. Trixie LOVES running through the leaves in the backyard, and chasing the squirrels! Thanks, Kim

Mary Jane

My husband and I adopted Mary Jane (now known as Lucy) in March of this year. We wanted to write to give you an update. Lucy has done exceptionally well in our home (starting from day 1). Our other dog Benny, a Boston Terrier, and her were instant best friends! Lucy now joins her brother at doggie daycare where she has made other doggie friends. She especially LOVES to go on walks, car rides and curl up on the couch. She has been such a great addition to our family, we can't imagine life without her. Attached are a few pictures we have taken. Thank you so much for sending Lucy to us and thank you for everything you do!

Trouble

Trouble is doing great! It's like she's always been here. We bought a gentle leader and we've been practicing with it with a lot of success. She is only in her crate when we eat or if she decides to go in there on her own (which she does quite a bit!). I think at times our home is a bit over stimulating but she has really fit right in with our family. The kids are just absolutely smitten with her. She is getting more hugs and petting than she knows what to do with and the kids are doing great about leaving her alone in her crate. Owen keeps saying, Trouble is just right for us, we're going to keep her forever. It's really beautiful, a boy and his dog! I have to set up my camera to load pictures to the computer and when I do I'll be sure to send you some. Thank you for so much for thinking of us when Trouble became available, she is just perfect for us! Nella (this is an old picture of Trouble, we'll post new pics of Trouble with her new family once we get them!)

SweetPea

Wanted to give you an update as today was a very busy day for us! We went to our first Agility class this morning and she did well- wasn't too sure about the a-frame or the tunnel but we did it! :-) Also, this afternoon we passed the CGC & TDI test! :-) So, I hope when we get the tag I can start taking her to work one or two days/week. She passed the test with flying colors and did great! It was soo cool. Right now, she's got her bewitching hour and I need to go preoccupy her! She needs more entertainment- Frisbee wasn't enough! Hope all is well with you guys. Gillian (SweetPea was a dog from Kentucky who's owner brought her into the shelter to have her euthanized. He abused and hit her, and poor Sweet Pea had finally had enough and one day turned to snap at him while he was beating her. The shelter staff pleaded with him to just surrender her rather than euthanize and he finally agreed. She sat in the shelter for two months and didn't do well in that kennel situation, being that she is a super smart dog and high energy. They became crowded and her time was up. We got the email, we love the breed and know it well, and agreed to take her and knew she had tons of potential if given the right opportunity. This is a case where a lot of people would have just given up on this precious dog, but look at the outcome! We worked with her when we got her, we placed her in the right home, and now she is a certified therapy dog and takes agility classes! TRULY AMAZING). Thank you to Gillian, for believing in our rescue enough to know that this was the right dog for her, and for knowing in her heart that SweetPea had it in her to be a good girl, if treated like dogs deserve to be treated. (Now don't you just feel like going back to her original owner and giving him a piece of your mind?!)
