Our little Yager is wonderful and gets along good with big brother Shelby, he does not leave Shelby's side. He is still timid and adjusting to the good life. He knows how to use the doggie door but does not realize yet that he needs to use it when it is potty time not just to go out and play in the yard. He loves all the chewies and the squeaky toys and the shoes with laces if we leave them in sight. He sleeps on a big pillow at the foot of our bed and he cries if I shut him out of the bathroom when I shower.

I renamed him Hemi and he is doing wonderful.  He really is loving his new home and is a great companion.  Thank you for checking on him.  It is wonderful to know that someone really cares about him as much as I do.

Jack and Sadie are doing fine.  They play together all the time and Jack loves the lake.  They are both sleeping through the night!!  All is well.  Thanks again for your devoted work.

We adopted Lily (Morticia), one of the Beagle mixes found in the cemetery. You had told us when we adopted her that you wanted to know if she ever got over 30 pounds. Well...... as of last week, she was weighing in at 33 pounds! She's a VERY healthy puppy, and although she is still very much a Beagle, she's a little bit longer and more leggy than a purebred. She also has one long tongue !! She is adorable, and she is the best puppy. She's fit into our family so well, and we are just so thankful for ya'll helping us find her. She's still a bit of a chewer, and she can destroy a knotted rope toy in about a week! She's a  snuggler and loves curling up for a nap. She's very social with people and other dogs, and she loves to ride and go camping.

We have fallen in love with her already.  She is such a cutie pie.  She loves to be with you but is also ok with staying by herself.  She likes her crate and sleeps and eats in her crate.  We try to keep her in the house most of the time since we are still house training.  She has only had one accident in the last three/four days.  She was at the groomer's yesterday and the picture shows her new 'doo'.  The groomer said that she has some fur on her legs but most of her seems to be hair.  Hopefully, our allergies will not be bothered by her.

Just wanted to tell you what a delight Dixie (now Pixie) has been!  She handled the 10 hour drive to Florida very well.  Now that we are home, she has settled in as if she has lived here her whole life!  She is such a gentle soul and we just love her!  I couldn't ask for an easier dog to take care of.  Our kids adore her and they love it that she sleeps with them at night.  It's been particularly heartwarming to watch her with Jake, our child with cerebral palsy.  She comes to say "good morning" to him every day when we go to get him up.  She also sits in his lap and Jake has begun to use his hands in a new way to pet her.  Thank you for such a wonderful addition to our family. 

We are enjoying Ember (Curly) as a new member of our family.  Yes, we're experiencing those normal problems of "house" training.   Ember has been  playing with a large 9 yr. old chocolate Lab we're taking care of for a  while.  She has shown how entertaining and playful she can be with the lab  who is not always interested in playing.  Still, they are quite a pair and  right now, both, are sleeping quietly at my feet.

It already seems like Teddy has been a part of our lives forever.  And believe it or not, I bet he wouldn't fit in that carrier crate anymore.  He's doing so well.  Walks quite well on a lead now.  Still has the odd "accident' in the house...but always goes when he's on his walks.  He's already figured out which shelf is food is on, and if he wants to be fed, bangs his bowl around and scratches on the bag (we're getting a tin container, because before long, I'm sure he'll figure out how to rip the bag open, too).

Charlie is doing well...and is adjusting to life at home. We are still working on housebreaking...but he's coming along.  Jesse, Charlie and I will be participating in a "Puppy Training Class" on Tuesday evenings...and we are very excited about it.  Charlie has decided that he REALLY likes sleeping on Jesse's bed...and absolutely LOVES to wake Jesse up in the mornings. I just say, "Go get your boy up", and Charlie RUNS to the bedroom, jumps on the bed and licks Jesse awake.  We are looking forward to many more happy memories with Charlie...he has added a lot of life and love to our family.

Spike is doing wonderful and we are so thankful that you took him in and let us have him.

Harley (Barkley) is still a terror; he is the food and cat box monitor. But gets along great with his sister, Tasha (Miss Kitty) and they both still love the dogs. We can't tell you how much we love them and how much joy they have brought to our lives, especially since our other 3 older cats have passed in the last year.  

Around my seventh month of pregnancy,  I had taken a really bad fall outside in the rain. I dislocated my shoulder and was unable to move or get on my feet because of my awkward belly. Shiloh proceeded to run to me, grabbing her leash handle with her mouth, and put her leash in my good arm while pulling me to my feet! She is an amazing and loyal dog whom we love more than life!  She has made the most wonderful addition to our family, and I cannot thank you enough for allowing us to adopt this wonderful dog!

Indigo, now Charlie, is wonderful. Every time I come home, he waiting right by the door and follows me around like my little shadow. He has to be right were all the action is all the time and has become best friends with out little dog Bosco. I was hoping that the two of them would tolerate each other, but they have become great playmates. His favorite toys are the 20 crazy balls we have scattered through out the house.  His crazy acrobatics keep me laughing. Thank you so much for everything. He is the perfect addition to out family. Best wishes to you and your organization. 

Just wanted to tell you how much joy Camilla Jane has brought to our home and family.  She has grown to nearly 20 pounds.  She became blind and has been confirmed to have "collie eye" which runs with the breed.  She can navigate our 2 story house with great ease.  She can fetch a ball and return it with ease.  She has learned the sit and down commands and is completely housebroken and loves to wrestle with our other dogs.  We love her very much and please know that she is very well cared for and very happy with our family.  Thanks for letting us have such a special little girl. 

We are very much enjoying having her.  She is a lot of fun.  She plays quite a bit with the toys that we bought her and she also like to play with the scrunchies that go in my hair. She seems to be adjusting really well.  The first night she meowed a little bit, but since then she has fit right in. She is eating really well and seems to like her environment. 

I think if Peanut (now Libby) could talk, she would tell you life is good here with her new family.

We love our new puppy! We changed her name to Zoey when we got back to Michigan. She was great to travel with, no problems at all. She has a new best friend (our 9 year old dog Xena) and she likes to "play" with our cat Jewel. Jewel doesn't like the playing so much but they're becoming better friends every day. She went with us to Ohio over the 4th of July to visit family and everyone wanted to keep her!  She is healthy and growing, and loves romping around the yard with Xena. 

Nikki has adapted very well into our family.  He is very friendly to people and other animals.  There was a transition period for our other dog, Daisy, but all is well now. Thank you for bringing Nikki into our lives and for your efforts of saving animals lives.

Jesse wanted me to let you know life is GREAT!  She continues to thrive here with us.  Even the cats are beginning to rub up against her and show affection.  I think it shocks her when they do that...she looks at them as if to say, "what in the world are you doing?"  She is still leery of strangers but not nearly as fearful of them as when she first moved here.  We are having some friends over tonight so she'll have the opportunity to warm up a bit more.

I wanted to let you know how much love and happiness that Brandy (now Buster) has brought into lives. Buster is a very special dog. He's very easy to train and learns quickly. He is well taken care of and is a major part of our family (he goes everywhere with us). He has a little sister now (Mandy).  I didn't even have to house break her, Buster did it for us!
