Second only to finding homes for our animals is the joy of hearing back from their new families. We invite you to read along with us. If you should decide to open up your heart and home to one of our angels, please send us a note and photo to tell us how it is going! We will post it on this page so others can share in your happiness. And while you're here, enjoy this lovely video created by Jade, one of our teen volunteers ~ such talent and such a heart!
Dear Judy,
I want to thank Dawn Craig for convincing me that I wanted to be a “Foster Mom” a week after we put 2 of our Rottie's down September '08.
This “Foster Mom” stuff has been such an adventure of a lifetime. First Rosie and her 5 puppies and then Blossom (we named her Sabrina) and her 9 puppies.
There has been quite a few more litters & single dogs intermittingly too. We may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but we sure are a sucker for those "kicked to the curb Mommies and their puppies." I think you all have one fine organization.
I'll be a Foster Mom until I am no longer capable of doing so. It really is the most satisfying job I have ever had. Anyone who wants more information on Fostering they are always welcome to contact me. ~Maggie R.
I just wanted to let you know that Bella and Blue our Weimaraners just love Tulip. And so do Tia and Taj, our girls. We put her bed in Taj's room and she slept there last night.
She eats very little, but we hope she gets on the schedule with Bella & Blue.
She is so sweet and we just love her.
Thank you for her,
~Tanya M.
Hi Judy!
Snapped the best picture the other day of Heffernan and Honey (our other dog - chihuahua) and I had to share it with you. Remember Heffernan? I believe he was staying at your house before we adopted him. He is doing great! Just wanted to share this picture with you and your crew.
Love,
Lindsey and Jeremy
Massive achievements have been made in the last week that you won't believe! We are renaming him Tucher (Too-ker). It's a German beer (Stella is named after Stella Artois---a beer lol). Thought we'd keep with the theme. And it fits him in a strange way.
Well, I couldn't keep Tucher from exploring and I couldn't keep Stella locked up in her favorite spot, the closet. So, I just supervised them. Stella hissed quite a few times and SOME swats. But then, I pulled out the laser, her toy. And suddenly, it's like they had a common goal! I thought it was going to take months, but it's only taken days! Stella is not afraid to play-fight with him and seems to be adjusting really well.
Some other fun things. Tucher can play fetch just like a dog! And let me tell you, my boyfriend loves him to death because of this (you know he didn't want another cat lol). He's alot of fun and totally affectionate.
Henry has been so amazing and I love him to death. I have been training him and he's gotten so good. He's so smart and loves being trained. He knows sit, up, crawl, down, high 10, high 5, paw, and roll over down pat. I'm working so hard on the come and stay part.
He's a great dog and a good companion. He actually gets jealous when you're paying attention to someone else and not him. He'll bring you his toys and whine at you when he wants to play. At night when he's calming down he just likes to lay down next to you. He's such a cutie when he sleeps. It's hilarious because he makes all these crazy noises when he's pretty much passed out. It's almost like he's groaning.
I am so glad that I adopted this dog. He's so wonderful and I just can't imagine my life without him. He's my little baby now. Thanks Judy for everything! -Katelin
