She’s doing really good, shes got a lot more spunk than I saw that first day but not like that’s a bad thing. She really likes going for walks and being outside and burying bones and of course chasing her tennis balls. She really took to me as her daddy really fast and momma finally came home yesterday so theyre getting accuainted today. Keda’s so funny cause shes always very curious whenever we do anything at all and never wants to be left out of any kind of fun. I could go on and on about her but Im sure you know. Shes being a very wonderful puppy and shes very happy

hi!

everything’s going great with her–except we still haven’t come up with a name! Ben wants to call her ‘cheese’ haha…yeah I don’t think so!
she’s a lil lover, and loves to play and bounce around and chew on things too. Typical puppy! It was funny, just earlier she went #2 and proceeded to run to the where the shovel is kept…so she’s definitely trainable! Can’t wait to see her grow up.

I’m one of those that always forgets the camera for stuff like this, but I’ve attached a couple of pics that I have of her. I’ve been calling her ‘baby girl’, hence the BG-named pics. Enjoy!

Btw, I was going to send you an email as well, asking about her parents. Is she full pitbull, or a mix…or do you know? I’m also curious about where her sister ends up, if the new ‘parents’ are open to that. I completely understand privacy too, and will follow whichever way this road takes me…but it would be cool to perhaps meet them up again one day, y’know?

thank you for sendin’ a lil love our way!

We were in a week ago Sat and adopted Nana. since renamed to Jasmine.  (the pup left in the apt by the previous owners)  We just wanted to drop you a note and let you know she is adjusting very well.  Needless to say she has taken over the house and everything in it.   ha ha……..She appears to have been house trained, we have had only one piddle accident to date.   I’ve attached several pictures of her running around the back yard and finding the perfect napping place.  ha ha……   She has since been bathed and groomed and has captured the hearts of many of our neighbors……….  Thank you so much for your help and for all you and everyone at the shelter do in helping all of God’s creatures…….

Take care, best wishes and keep up the good work.

Hunter is AMAZING!  We love him so much.  He is absolutely perfect for our family.

The girls and I just got back from a 2 hour stroll around the neighbourhood with him.  He is very excited and smelling everything in sight.  He has met a couple of the neighborhood dogs, and done very well.  The squirrels do get him excited though.  Overall, I am so impressed with how well behaved he is.  He is such a sweetheart.  I can not believe how quickly he is bonding to us (and us to him also).  He really feels comfortable with our family, and the girls just love him.  My oldest daughter has wanted a dog for a few years, and we wanted to wait until the youngest was old enough, and until we were ready for the committment.  Now that we have Hunter it just seems so perfect.  We are so happy.  Actually, as we can home from our walk tonight Crag was getting home from work, so he has taken him out again for another walk around the block.

Can you remind me when he should go for his next shots (booster?)  Was it 2 months?  (end of August).

Also, what brand of food was he eating?  And how often was he fed, ie)morning, night or both.  He did eat one bowl of food, but he has not had a big appetite, and no poo yet.  Perhaps the long drive upset his routine/system!?
He traveled home in a crate we borrowed, and last night when it was time for bed, he did not want us to leave him, he did end up crawling into the kennel/crate and sleeping there.  Not sure if he was crate trained, or if it was just because he got used to that on the drive home.  I did buy him a really nice soft bed/pillow.  I guess we will see how it goes tonight.  When I got him out in the morning he was coughing/sneezing/wheezing for quite a few minutes at the start of the day, although it did stop after several minutes.  Any idea what that might be?  Allergies, cough, or is it a normal thing?

Anyways, thank you again.  I really appreciate all you have done for us, and my experience dealing with you was excellent.  You were so nice and accomodating and helpful with info, and made us feel so good about our decision to adopt Hunter, and it was so worth it, even if we (Crag) did have to drive all day to get him.  Even though it has only been 24 hours, now that he is part of our family, I can not imagine life without him.

THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!  I can not thank you enough.

Esther, Crag, Jaime, Chelsea

PS I am sending you the only picture I have taken so far.  I took this tonight of Jaime and Hunter at her school field.  I am usually photograph crazy and I take pictures of EVERYTHING, but I wanted to let Hunter get settled first, and get used to us, and then I will take lots more pics.  I will send some your way soon.

Diane & Friends,

Everything is just fine with Petra….we did rename her though…her new name is “Fanny”…since she walks funny from the rear view and that tail is constantly going!!
I haven’t had time to take pictures yet, but will in the next few days….She is loving the huge yard and she sleeps at the foot or side of the bed.
As for Shrunch our cat?…Well….She isn’t too fond of the new addition and Fanny….goes crazy over her…..Time will tell and I guess a few good scratches to the nose will teach her not to chase the cat!

Also Fanny will definitely be going to puppy school….she listens good…fast learner…but rebelious :-)

Here are some pic’s of Fanny at home…She loves the yard…AND the squirrels!  Will send more as time goes by.

Thank You All So Much!

HI!

Mandy is doing VERY well! She is a Love and her house manners are impeccable. She likes to sleep on the bed with me but always waits to be asked first (not that I expect her to! ).

All the dogs are getting along great and she is bonding with me quickly.

She is wonderful to walk and very good in the car; at some point in her life she must have had a decent home.

I have renamed her Anouk ( a Belgian name) as a Mandy and a Maddy in the same house is confusing.

I accidentally made off with your leash, by the way, and will return it as soon as possible.

Thanks so much for her, she has found her forever home. I look forward to visiting your wonderful shelter again…

Hi, there.

Our trip home was very uneventful, as Diesel slept most of the way.  However, he was a little “gassy” so we definitely kept the windows open… :-)

He is…. awesome!!

He already knows sit, down, wait, and goes to the door when he needs to go out.  I love his happy, out there personality.

He has played with the toys we gave him, and taken another nap on his new bed.  right ow he is sleeping at my feet.

I am so glad his adoption worked out for me.

Thanks sooo much.

Hi All at the South Pacific County Humane Society.

I adopted Dani, your flat-coat retriever yesterday.  I just though that I would let all of you know that she made it home safe.  We took her down highway 30 and then highway 47 …47 is kind of a windy highway and so she didn’t really like that and puked … but considering that is was a 3.5 hour long car ride, only two pukes really wasn’t bad.  One of the times we stopped to clean it up, a man came over and asked us if we needed anything but he was a bit weird, Dani totally sensed that and got right on her protective guard-dog bark and stance.  It was kind of nice to know how protective she will be of us.

When she got in the house, she made it pretty clear that it was her house … We have a little futon that we had already decided that that is where she would sleep and she did, she slept on it all night.  We brought her to our neighbors house so that she could meet another dog, at first, I was a bit nervous, Dani was very vocal, but after a while, they were all over the yard and playing hard.  Dani definitly has power in her and a strong will.  Our other roommate loves her just as much as we do!

For the first night, she’s been great …

Thanks so much for everything.  You guys have been great

Hi Diana!

Here are some pictures of Houston, now called Jackson. He’s very happy and loves to swim and run and play. Whew! What a bundle of energy!

Thanks again for letting me adopt such a great dog!

Best regards,
