Reagan has been with me for two weeks and she already tells me wen she needs to go potty. We had our first road trip together this weekend. I bought her a booster seat for the car so that she would be able to see out and still be secure and safe. She loved the trip and we look forward to many more.

Skip had his first birthday with us on the 4th. He got lots of new toys from his friends, and he recently got a new brother(cat ). Skip says that he hopes you all had a good 4th, and that not all cats are bad, just most of them.

Hi! Its been almost 2 years since we adopted Vinnie and he is doing fantastic! He loves to play in our backyard with us and with his "girlfriend" Casey when she comes for a visit. He's comandeered the loveseat and runs his little kingdom from his perch. We are truly his subjects and adore every day with him. Thank you for loving him and saving him so that he could be a blessing to our family! With much affection, Terri, Jose, Vinnie & Tigger

Hi, Simon here! I just want to let you all know that I'm doing great! My new family loves me and think that I'm the greatest. Even the neighbors think that I'm the cutest dog in the neighborhood. I get invited to come play next door all the time. Since I walk and play a lot I've almost lost all the weight that I needed to. I went to get weighed at the vets this week and I'm down to 22.5 pounds. In fact my new mom thought that might have gone a bit fast so I'm getting a little bit more food now. It feels good to be lighter. I'm able to move like a pup again. Thanks for saving me from the shelter, Simon PS. Mom says Thanks as well:-)

Today we're celebrating Aussie's 2nd birthday! It's been 9 months since we adopted her and we are so glad she came into our lives! Her big brother Tucker is much more playful and content with her around. They love to snooze together on a dogbed in the sunshine and chase eachother on the beach. Aussie is the best! We are so grateful to Sound Pet, her vet, and all the foster parents for caring for her until her adoption. She is truly a joy!

We lost our two elderly terriers in 2010. Bonnie (age 16) passed away in January and Heather (age 15) followed in April, a week before our wedding. We mourned for them and still do, but we are pet lovers and the house seemed empty without a dog. Curtis, our rescue cat missed the girls as well. We spent time looking at various web sites looking for a dog to adopt. We didn't know what kind of dog we wanted, perhaps a Silky as Bonnie was a Yorkie/Silky cross and Josh was missing her terribly. I was browsing the Pet-finder site one evening when I came across the picture of Skip. I called Josh to come and see and we both agreed that he looked like "our kind of dog". We watched the videos of him on his page and right then and there we knew we had to have him in our family. It melted my heart to see this sweet, yet timid little Scottie-cross dog who had been abused and abandoned. The song that accompanied the video has the line: "Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements, even if it leads nowhere..." It brought me to tears. So we signed up for Skip and sat on pins and needles for the next week. On July 4, Josh was just about to fire up the grill when Skip's foster mom called and said we could come see him. We jumped in the truck and made the hour drive to Lynette's house. He was quite unsure of us and seemed a little scared but we could tell he was a good dog, we hoped he could tell that we were good humans! We were worried at the thought of not being able to adopt him. But Lynette let us have him after carefully questioning us about our home and background and calling our personal references. We decided to keep his name Skip and wanted to give him a middle name. In honor of the day we got him, he is now called Skippy Doodle! The next couple of months were a big adjustment for Skip. There were a few "accidents" in the house and he would sometimes hide under the furniture, but Skip was sweet and playful and very smart. He was respectful to Curtis the cat even though Curtis didn't reciprocate for quite some time. Right from day one we marveled at how we got so lucky to find our perfect dog. I got sick a couple of months later. It was the worst flu illness I had ever had. I was in bed for two weeks straight and that little dog barely left my side. He is very protective of us and we really appreciate that from him. One of his funny little habits is to take dirty clothes from our hamper and make a nest of them and curl up on them. He does this when we are away at work and he is missing us. And he is a very vocal dog. He has a large assortment of sounds that he makes when he is "talking" to us. One thing that amazes me is that he makes two different sounds for when someone or something is near the house. If it's an animal it's a soft, gruffing woof, if it's a human it's a sharp. loud bark. Amazing! Anyway, thank you SPAR, for the best dog ever. His days of chasing pavements are over forever.

It has been a year and Tag is doing great! Justed wanted to send a thank you and a few pictures to enjoy. We all enjoy him and he is the sweetest dog ever. He is so happy with us and loves Petey. He loves waking my son Alex up in the morning and likes to sleep with us. He is a fun dog. He still has aloofness to him and does not trust anyone he does not really know but every day gets better.

Just wanted to tell you how happy we both are!! This is our first of many anniversaries. Clara is the very best snuggler, happy all the time, and just plain fun to have around. She makes sure there are no squirrels or rabbits or any other vermin in my backyard and is so good with my grandchildren - even the 2 month-old one. She loves to get with my 2 granddogs as well. I enjoy her more each day. Thank you and your group for saving her and getting us together. Harriet

Hi! I adopted Cinnabon in November. She is a wonderful addition to my family! She was very shy at first but she's blossomed more each day. She's a perfect companion - very silly and an excellent cuddler! She's been learning some commands; it took her awhile to get used to her new home and to learn to trust me. Overall, she's a great dog and I am so happy to have found her! Love, Brenda, Boo and Cinnabon

Seasons Greetings! We adopted Thorne (now named Dakota) in September. We've learned a lot about raising a younger dog. At first he was chewing our furniture, then we discovered that he was just as happy to chew on a bone. Now we keep a cupboard full of various bones. He loves to play, wrestle, and hike. His personality keeps us laughing. He gives us little kisses and we give him big hugs everyday! This is our first rescue dog. We feel very fortunate to have found Dakota after the loss of our longtime pet. Thanks for making that possible for Dakota and our family.
