Hi Joy,
Dear Joy,
Betsy is just the sweetest little dog, and everyone who meets her (especially the neighborhood children) falls in love. She follows her mom around like a shadow and has discovered that her human’s bed is a wonderful place to spend the night and take daytime naps. She has her own chair where she can look out windows to check up on what’s
happening outside and watch the birds.
She was obviously well socialized for, when I took her for a walk yesterday, we visited with three dogs; her tail wagged a mile a minute while she urged them to ‘come play with me’, and she joyously greets every person she encounters. She is such a good girl that Shirley and I often wonder about her former home and why she ended up in a high-kill shelter before you rescued her.
Bless you for your wonderful efforts to find homes for these precious babies.

Hi Auntie Joy,
I wanted to let you know how happy I am in my new home!!!! I wanted to send you a picture of me in my St. Patty’s day tie. Another picture is with my brother Benny and me playing tug of war. I love playing with my toys!!!!!!! And the last one is of me with my big smile, the one that I show every day now. Thanks again for saving my life and giving me this chance to be happy and loved not only by my mom’s, but by my two brothers and sister and my cats. I love cats!!!!!
Love,
Murphy, now known as Mikey
Dear JOY,Nikki, Wanda and all at GARD:
Attached are photos of our dog Abbey who we picked up in Connecticut exactly one month ago today. How grateful we are to all of you for rescuing this beautiful dog whom we absolutely LOVE. Our 6 cats treat her as though
she had been part of our family for years. She is such a JOY to have, and this is what you are all about – bringing JOY into the lives of these precious animals you rescue and into the lives of those who adopt them. May you be blessed into the eternities for this extraordinary work you do to improve the welfare of these wonderful pets who need the compassion and dedication that you provide.
With love and appreciation,
Paula and Alex, Littleton, Massachusetts
Dear Joy
Mike said you wanted some pictures of Duncan. He is doing very well and is lots of fun. He sits and stays and comes when called some of the time. He does his business outside most of the time. He is not biting as much as when he first came to us. He has a wonderful personality and seems very happy. Thanks for all that you do
Joy,
Here we are just 2 weeks after having Buster join us in his forever home and he has created a special relationship with all of our kids (and us – he has chosen me to be the alpha leader!). But the most special bond is clearly with our 13 month old daughter. He is incredibly tolerant of her playing in his crate and playing fetch with him. I think the attached picture of her feeding him kibble from his bowl captures some of the magic between them.
We are so happy to have him as part of our family and he is blending in so well. I will continue to send updates but I thought that this might be something wonderful for your happy tails page.
Warmly,
Rebekah
