Hi Mickie, Just to let you know we are so thrilled with our GiGi. SShe has been fora long walk with us. Eaten and drinking wonderfully. (I think the cut up veal and roast beef helped). She goes right to her bed in our living room like she’s been there forever. She is great with our cats. She doesn’t even want to sniff the . I just gave her a sponge bath cause I know you can’t get those stitches and surgery wet. She was super. She comes when we call her and seems to stay when we say stay. A dream dog! You must feel so special making so many people and dogs happy. Thank you so very much. God bless you. Marie and Ted

We adopted Josie in November from one of your partner rescues in New Jersey, Love to Live. I know you guys see a lot of dogs come through your shelter, but she was with you a long time. Her earliest papers say she was 10 months old and she was 2 1/2 when we got her, so almost 2 years with you. I have been meaning to contact you to tell you that she’s very happy and loved in her new home and ask you if you know anything about her history and how such an adorable little girl could have not been adopted in such a long time in the shelter.
When we met Josie for the first time, she was such a happy little girl and loved to give kisses. We were looking for a dog that would get along with my boyfriend’s alpha personality dog, Maddox, but also a little girl to put him in his place. After we met her, we brought Maddox to meet her. They seemed to get along fine, and we loved her, so we signed the papers and brought her home. As soon as we let them loose in the back yard together, they just ran and played together until they tired each other out. Maddox has about 20 pounds on her, but she can still wrestle him to the ground and pin him and she can outrun him any day. They are perfect playmates and best friends. She is the most adorable little girl and so well behaved. Thankfully she was already housebroken when we brought her home and could be trusted to be loose in the house without destroying anything. She is so smart and very quickly picked up on the rules of the house. She is so loving and wants nothing more than to get a hug and kiss from you or cuddle up on the couch with us. I attached a few pictures of her. We celebrated her third birthday on Sunday and she tolerated a birthday hat long enough for me to take a picture. She knows how to look cute and she gives you what we call “Josie eyes” that just melt your heart.
I don’t know how such a perfect dog could have waited so long to find a forever home, but I’m glad she did. We are so happy to have found such a good girl. If you remember that little face and anything about her, please let me know. All of these dogs have a story and it’s always a mystery what their past was. Maddox is also a rescue from the south and was also adopted in NJ, but that’s all we know about him. I know you guys are very devoted to finding these dogs a good home, so I’m sure it’s good to hear about their happy endings. I appreciate your time if you can remember anything about her.
Thank you,
Heather

Hello! I just wanted to give you an update on Petey (aka Bear!) . He is awesome and we are so excited to have him. I am in love with him! He has adjusted quickly and been doing excellent in house breaking. He and my other female dog play and he has lots of new toys that he loves. He seems to love the squeaky ones!
I just wanted to let you know that we are blessed to have him. Thank you again for looking after God’s creatures!

Hi Everyone at GARD.
Thank you so much for letting us make one of your four-legged family members a permanent member of our family. We adopted Nuggette on June 20th of this year. She is a brindle/black mixed breed puppy, who looks like she could a mix of several different breeds depending on the angle, lol. She is beautiful and has been the perfect addition to our family. She has put the pep back in the step of our older dog Cyrus, who was also a rescue dog–and she certainly keeps us hopping. She has a wonderful disposition, and loves to snuggle when she is not running circles around us all at warp speed. We are so grateful for her, she has stolen our hearts and we look forward to many, many happy years with her.
I wanted to send you a few pictures – one from the day we brought her home, one chillin’ on the steps of the pool, one of her and our son, and one from our camping trip where you can see her and Cyrus chillin’ at bed-time.
Thanks again for everything you do,
Tammy P
