Hodge

Thanks for your help with the adoption of Hodge.  He is adjusting very well and he has been lots of fun to get to know.  I wanted to give you a humorous update on him.  When he got home he was introduced to our 3 level townhome.  He did not leave the first floor for his first 5 hours because he was scared of the stairs.  It took my female Weimaraner, Sky, to coax him up the stairs.  He is very playful and protective.  He is learning to respect kids and other boundaries.  Mostly he is very gentle though.  He is walking much better on a leash and he sits on command sometimes.  We are enrolling him in some training next month. 

Adopted February 2010

 

 


 

Archie

A quick update on Archie (formerly Nudge).  He is a wonderful dog, full of puppy love and so smart and kind.  He was crate trained in one day and potty trained in less than a week.  He definitely has his moments of "freshness", which is a sign that he is a happy and healthy pup, and welcomes our guidance and discipline which creates order in his world and ours.  He is a riot and growing like a weed.  We are committed to our life with him and he fills our hearts with laughter and love.  I want to make a special mention of "Guy" who introduced us to a number of dogs and was so helpful and patient.  We were so impressed with the facilities and the care of the large volume of animals you manage.

Lexee

Lexee wakes Brodee and Marlee up every morning and is always so excited to lick their faces.  I even think I may have some competition with my husband.  He calls her "his girl".  She has also claimed her spot on the couch, especially during animal planet.  We are so thankful Lexee has become a part of our family.

Lola

Lola is doing well and growing like crazy.  She is so silly.  We would love to see some pictures of her brother.  (Lola was bottled fed by Linda, one of the Customer Service Reps)

 

 

 

  


 

Ella Lynn formerly Seneca

I adopted a puppy from the Charlotte Humane Society about 6 months ago.  I wanted to write in and say thank you from the bottom of my heart.  This little puppy, who was rescued with a severe case of Parvo along with her brothers and sisters, brings joy to my heart every single day.  I have always been a dog person, and have had dogs from breeders before, but it is something about this little girl that has a special place in my heart.  Maybe its because she came from such a harsh life, or that I think she kind of picked me the day I went to visit her at the shelter.  Maybe is because she is an amazing dog that got a chance.  I'm so grateful for what you and your company do.  If I could adopt every single dog in the shelter, believe me I would, but this one is perfect for right now!

Adopted July 2009

 

 

 

 


 

Diesel formerly Lowell

Lowell is now named Diesel!  We all love him very much.  He is doing great!  He loves the kids and is quite the lap dog.  (He really likes full body massages too!).  He had his first vet visit this past weekend and he got an "A" on all counts.  He is now up-to-date on his shots.  He does seem timid when he eats yet he is already over 20 pounds.  He does pretty well with potty training.  He has had a few accidents, but overall doing great.  Thank you for all your help with our new family addition.

Charlie formerly Frisky

Charlie is doing great.  He settled in right away.  Its like he knew he was home.  He loves running around the back yard and gong on walks.  He listens and is learning how to sit...slowly.  He's been a great addition to the house.

Cami

I wanted to send you a Cami update.  She is doing extremely well.  Attached is a photo of her on the couch.  Her choice last evening.  she has not figured out how to potty outdoors yet, but she loves our cats as well as their toys.  We will stay in touch during her growth with our family.  We absolutely adore Cami.

Bear & Bruno

They are loving their new home!  They love their new yard and had a grand time running around.  They did great in the house, too.  Bear slept in our room in his new temporary bed and Bruno slept right outside the bedroom door.  When I woke up in the morning they were in the bed together.  Bruno has warmed right up and loves his rubs.  I think they are happy to be home with their new mom and dad.  Thank you all for bringing us our new babies, we were feeling so lost without our Dixie Dog and I know she would have been great friends with Bear and Bruno.

Baley

Thought you might like to see Baley's Christmas picture.  We took Baley to his first agility trial this weekend.  Baley was the hit.  Everyone that saw him wanted to take him home.  I was lucky to get out of there with him.  Even the ones that I didn't show him to went and got their friends and brought them back to see him.  He really is doing good.  Now that it has started to warm back up I am going to start working him a little more.  Will keep you posted on our progress.

Bastet

We adopted Bastet in September.  We wanted to give you an update on her first trip in the motor home.  She loves checking out the birds as she enjoys the view over the Gulf of Mexico at the Ho-Hum campground in Apalachicola, FL.  She is so gentle and sweet and we discovered she loves to travel.  Thank you again for our girl.

Adopted September 2009
