Cat (formerly Hazel)
Hazel Hazel adopted

She's doing well. She wants to sit in my lap all of the time. She follows me around the house or just waits for me to come back to den where her bed is. Stays there all nite. Took baby gates down so could have run of house when gone. So far, so good. Just explores little bit. Seems content/own bed. Barks good & growls when strangers over, but no bite. Let's them pet after while long as I'm around. Always glad to see me when come in. Makes me feel good and think her too. All's well thus far.

Budde
Budde adopted

Hi Elaine,
Just to give you an update, things are going great with Budde. He is such a mild mannered, sweet dog! We still can't figure out why no one wanted him, he fits in real well over here. Our cat is still trying to figure him out, but that's expected. Our other dog really enjoys trying to play with him as well, and I think he's starting to warm up to her. We're teaching him a few tricks like sit and stay and plan on taking him through a six week training program. He's starting to learn how to use a dog door too, which is great for everyone involved over here.
Thanks again,
Shaun

Auggie (formerly Roux)
Auggie Auggie Roux adopted

Hi Lisa,
Just wanted to send another update on Roux, who I renamed Auggie - seemed to fit his personality a little better cause he is such a goofball. He is great. He has turned into a big dog, you were right! At almost 9 month he weighs over 75lbs. But he is sweet, SO sweet and such a talker! He loves to make noises, especially before dinner he does the funniest low grunts until I feed him. He is a great companion and he gets along GREAT with other dogs. Really really easy going. Hope all is well and thank you again for helping me get such a great great dog.
Best,
Jamie

Ivory (update!)
Ivory Ivory Ivory adopted

Dear Holly,
Ivory, who is now Ivy, is doing great. She is getting lots of love from our family that includes 3 kid:, 10, 7, 5 yrs. She gets lots of play time at the local dog parks in San Francisco and takes walks along the Pacific coast. Not too shabby! She weighs about 40 lbs and turns 1 yr at the end of this month, according to the AR paperwork. We've had her for only 1 month and are taking her to a vet for a well check up. The shelter that had her before our adoption continued your commitment of giving her up-to-date shots etc, so that's good. Here are a couple pix of Ivy - please know your rescue efforts are greatly appreciated. And many thanks to you and the young man for fostering her.
Kind regards,
CC

Lisa,
Thank you so much for doing what you do! Eva Marie, we kept her name, is doing well. She walked into our home as if she knew that it was where she was supposed to be. She has done well with our cats and she loves our children! She is so very happy, snuggly and playful, we couldn't have asked for a better pup! Please tell Emily thank you as well, she was so sweet! Thank you again,
Shevy D.

Merry Christmas! I had been coming home to Cooper spreading soil all over the sidewalk from my flower pots and couldn't figure out why in the world he was digging in the flower pots.......until today! He's our own little (okay not so little) version of Marley! I've twice planted flowers in those pots and he has twice dug them up. I now know why! I hope you enjoy the photo! We are enjoying this big baby so much! Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Toni

Hi Elaine,
Just an update letting you know all is well! Toni has become a very well behaved ( and very spoiled) indoor dog! She really is a terrific dog! We could not have asked for any better! Although she much prefers the couch or bed, she loves playing in the yard with Sheena ( they get along very well now that they are used to each other) She loved the snow when we had it! I am sure she will enyoy it when we get more! Hope all is well with you!

Beauty Buster Baxter Bonnie
Beatrice Deacon adopted

Hi,
I just wanted to update you on how "Beatrice" has been doing, and relay some info onto you. First, we changed her name the first week to Savahana. My 5 year old really wanted to name her. She has been awesome, and we have fallen so much in love with her. She is so good with the kids, and so sweet to everyone she meets. She is the perfect family dog, and we are so proud to have her in our family. Also, I had the vet do a wisdom panel on her DNA to determine what breed she really is...and the results were shocking, but fun to learn. Well, take care and thanks again for everything!

Hi Lisa,
We just wanted to say thank you so much! He is such a good boy and is already fully part of the family. He already went to his first bike race and made friends at "work." He is wonderfully well adjusted to everything we've exposed him to so far. He must have had a great foster family, so please pass along our thanks.
Best,
Alli and Andy

Brodie (formerly Ranger)
Brodie Ranger adopted

Hi Lisa,
Brodie (AKA Ranger) is an amazing, curious, confident, outgoing pup. He refused to close his eyes last night until last curtain call. Wanted to explore all around his new home! When we finally got him to bed around 11:30pm he crashed. Woke up around 1:30am when we got up to BR. Dennis got dressed and took him out and brought him right back to his crate next to our bed. He fussed lightly for a few moments, then slept til 6:30 am, my usual wake-up time. This pup is everything we were looking for and more. Today he has napped and played and generally acted like a normal pup. We are so thankful he arrived safe and healthy. His big brother, Brier, is a bit shell-shocked by it all but adapting amazingly well. Thanks so much for helping to facilitate his safe delivery to us. You can rest assured he will be well cared for.

Hi Denise and Vicki-
Last January, we adopted Nina from your organization and she was driven all the way from Arkansas to New Jersey. She was 10-12 weeks old. We changed her name to Maple. She has grown into a beautiful 30 lb member of our family. She is very playful and highly intelligent. We just wanted to thank you for what you do and for bringing her into our family.
Thank you!

Riley (formerly Enzo)
Riley Riley adopted

Hi,
Just thought I'd share a photo of Enzo (now called Riley). Thanks to all who helped find him a new home and united him with us. We adopted him in Mid-December and he's growing fast - up about 15 pounds already. He's still shy and cautious in new situations, but he's brought much happiness to our family. He also is loving the snow up here in the Northeast. He just hasn't realized yet that he's not quite a lap dog as the picture will show!
Thanks again!
Jean S.

 

Mowgli (update - formerly Khaki)
Mowgli Mowgli Mowgli adopted

Hi again Everyone,
We just had Mowgli's genetic test done (saliva based) through Wisdom Panel. We thought we would share the results with you & you can pass them along to Mowgli's mom's owner & all the littermates' owners if you wish. Obviously these tests aren't completely accurate, but it is still fun to look at. I definitely see the ridgeback & possibly golden retriever- I don't know about the Yorkshire terrier though!! Haha. Here are some attached pictures of Mowgli & his new little brother Jake who we adopted from Oregon. One photo is of Mowgli in the moving truck on November when we moved to Portland, OR from northern CA. The one with 3 dogs is when we were dog-sitting our friend's rottweiler mix at thanksgiving. The one of Mowgli & Jake is the day we adopted Jake at 6 months of age. Thank you for everything, Mowgli is the most wonderful dog! We are continuing to give him lots of exercise & PLENTY of attention:) He is a much happier dog since we adopted a little brother for him too; they like to roughhouse all day. Take care,
Adam and Chelsey

Kasper & Kilo (update!)
Kasper Kasper
Kasper Kilo adopted

Hi Elaine, this is Joanna. I wanted to send you some more pics of Kilo and Kasper.
They are such good boys. They've adopted beautifully. We had a baby boy, Dylan, at the end of August. I was a bit nervous about how Kilo and Kasper were going to be towards him but they did great! They think they are still little puppies and they always want to be on the top of either my husband or me. Especially Kasper, he wants hugs and kisses ALL the time. Kilo is a little more independent :) They love snow! We had a big storm last weekend...it was so much fun to watch them jump through the piles of snow! Everyone is amazed how big they are! Their vet thinks they are not done growing yet, maybe another 20 pounds or so! I left my job and have been home with the kids and the boys so they are getting spoiled...lol. They have so much energy and want to play all the time and sometimes they are very rambunctious but I can't imagine our house without them!

 

Reese (update!)
Reese Reese adopted

Vicky,
Reese is now 7 months, 48 pounds and a real sweetheart, very observant, watching everyone and everything closely…she is especially careful to keep an eye on Kit. She helped Kit learn the dog door the first week by giving her gentle ‘nose pushes’ while going in and out… We just watched in amazement. (And wish we had it on video!!)

Ivan (update!)
Ivan Ivan Ricky adopted

Hi Vicky,
Ivan is doing wonderfully! He just went for his check-up last week and he is a very healthy and happy 80 lb. sweetheart! Incredibly smart, too - he loves 'figuring out' little puzzles - Santa will be bringing him a few more brain-teasing toys for Christmas. He loves playing ball too - he really enjoys playing soccer! Ivan also has a little adoptive sister, Tess - a lab mix, who keeps him pretty active, too :) They don't go anywhere or do anything without each other, it's the sweetest thing.
Merry Christmase & Best Wishes,
Morgan

Hi,
We adopted a catahoula puppy from your shelter in July this year and we are sending a recent photo of Sage. We love her so much! She is such a well behaved, loving, and intelligent creature. We are so lucky to have her. Thank you for your incredible work.

Reese & Maya (formerely Clarice and Clementine)
reese maya adopted

(These two pups are sisters and were adopted to two different families in CA and in two different cities. They contacted each other and let the pups meet.)
Vicky,
The ‘girls’ had a wonderful visit. It was so nice of Maya’s Mom and Pop to bring her over for a visit. The two pups took one look at each other and started playing and running. They didn’t stop for 3+ hours. Second day we met at the beach where they romped in the river. We hope to keep the two in contact over the years.
Thank you again for all your help adopting these two beauties and getting them to California!
Holly

 

Sammy (formerly Hilton -update)
Sammy Sammy Hilton adopted

Hi Holly,
It has been a little over a year since we adopted Sammy (formerly known as Hilton). I just want to thank you again for all your hard work. He is such a wonderful addition to our family. Unfortunately he lost his big brother Otto earlier this year in February due to a failing liver. His passing was really tough for us, and Sammy's sweetness and happiness really helped us through that rough time. Since Otto's passing Sammy and his sister Suzie have become so tight. Thank you so much for saving him, and giving him a second chance at life!!!! He truly loves life and is so, so happy!!

Pepper (update!)
Pepper Pepper Pepper adopted

Hi Paul and Vicki,
We hope this note finds you well! Just wanted to let you know that Pepper is still doing great and pass along some pics of some of the wacky things Californians do with their dogs. She was definetly a good sport, but in turn, received a lot of attention from the neighborhood kids. One person noted how festive her orange and black colors were--in addition to dressing up as a pumpkin, she became an 'unofficial' mascot for our home baseball team (go Giants!). We love our little baby!
All best,
Emily M.

Hello,
My fiancee and I drove up from Houston at the end of last month to pick up Ike (we're renamed him Gatsby). I just wanted to send you/Tana pictures of him so you can see how he's coming along since I promised them. How are his sisters doing? Hope you guys are doing well!

Tucker adopted

I hope this email finds you all well!
I felt compelled to send this photo and a message on the anniversary of our adoption of Tucker! We all went out on a limb, you all put him on a bus heading north and we drove to meet him in New Hampshire on sheer faith. We are SO happy with Tucker!! We just could not be happier or feel luckier to have him. He has exceeded our hopes and expectations. He's loving, grateful, cuddly, playful, smart, hardworking, loyal..... He's living a wonderful life here in Maine with us, our 3 yr old daughter just loves him to bits and they have a ball! He goes on lots of walks and my husband brings him to work everyday in a farmhouse office. He snuggles but is also incredibly active. We've gained a few big holes in the yard and he has terrorized the local squirrels, but we wouldn't change a thing!! THANK YOU for the wondeful work you do. Velda and Bob, thank you for giving him a loving foster home to give him a solid foundation and comfort until we could provide a home for him!! I do hope you continue to foster dogs if you can. Jefferson County Humane Society, thank you for saving his life!!
With great appreciation and respect,
Hester M.

Thought I would send some photos and an update on (Twinkle) Dot. We love her so much, she is really sweet. I am currently attending puppy training class at our local Humane Society. Dot is doing great. I take her to a puppy play group every Sunday and she really loves that! I'll keep you up to date as time passes and Dot grows, just wanted to get a short note out to let you know how she was. Thanks for all you do for the doggies. Blessings,

Mo
Mo adopted

Hi Vicky,
Just wanted to let you know that Mo is great and we love him. He has settled in quickly and seems to be having fun. He is my shadow in the horse pastures as I clean and feed and has no fear of horses. Unfortunately..he has no respect of them yet either but that will come with time as at some point he will probably get stepped on. My lab is so happy to have a play buddy. He has gone to 1 soccer game already. He was unsure of himself but the next game is in couple of days and I think he has gained alot of confidence since last week. Thank you again for your help.
