Hi joy another year with my beautiful camilla. She is the boss of the house !! I cannot believe the way she turned out to be from the little thing all sick when she got here to the 60 pound energy machine she is now. I’ll always thank you for sending her to us.
Hello Joy & Company.
I’ve been tardy in not getting in touch with you to let you know that our lives have been enriched with the adoption of Buddy (fka “Blitzen”).
In June 2012, my wife and I were discussing getting a dog since I am now “retired”. I think it was June 15, 2012 when my wife saw “Blitzen” in the Friday edition of The Savannah Morning News. We live on Skidaway Island (The Landings) and we drove out to Pembroke the next day to see “Blitzen” because my wife couldn’t believe that he was “that cute”. He was. We brought him home the same day. On Sunday, June 17th, we renamed him “Buddy”.
It’s been a wonderful year with Buddy. He’s super smart. He’s loyal, friendly, and most of all he’s ours. When we were looking at him to adopt, he made it easy for us. I sat down in the grass and he came over and licked my hand. We understand Buddy (Blitzen) was one of five brothers in the litter and that you talked the woman who had the litter in handing the litter over to you guys. Thanks.
We often wonder what happened to Buddy’s other brothers. If one of them was still waiting for a home, we’d take him in to be a companion for Buddy (and us too!).
Anyway, Buddy will be in the Savannah Morning News’ Newspapers in Education Pet Calendar. He will be in the month of March 2014. The calendar runs from September 2013 to September 2014. I’m attaching two pictures of him. One when we had him about 2 weeks (he was about 5 months old when we adopted him) and the other was just a couple of weeks ago which was taken by a professional photographer at his “photo shoot” for the calendar. Buddy is now about 19 months old.
Thanks again for publishing Buddy’s (Blitzen’s) picture last June, 2012. We sure love this little guy.
Just wanted to drop you a line to give you an update on how Swazy is doing, I adopted him from you last fall. He has turned out to be the best dog any pet owner would ever dream to have. He is fun, loving, playful, non-aggressive, extremely intelligent, and thankful to us that we have given him a loving home. I am getting ready to adopt another chocolate lab from Screven animal rescue so that he will soon have a girlfriend and playmate. Swazy is now up to 80 lbs and healthy as an ox. Swazy and our cats hit it off just right, in fact, Swazy and Lexi play (chase) with each other every day. Lexi will chase Swazy then Swazy chases her back but neither of them try to hurt each other they just run and play. Well that’s about all, just though you might like to hear how one of your adoptions turned out.
Respectfully,

Hello GARD
I just wanted to send you a note. We adopted domino about 6 years ago from you. He is doing so great and he is truly our daughters best friend. I have to say he is probably the best dog we have ever had. He loves kids, dogs, and cats. And best if all he is a big black dog. Just thought you would like to know how greatful we are to have him in our lives.

Hey guys,
Just wanted to give you an update on Marcel, now named Tuco, a lab mix we adopted back in may 2012.
He has grown into a 65 pound monster! He’s a huge part of our family and we love him very much.
Just wanted to thank you guys for what you do.
Hi Joy…how are you? just going thru my old mail and I see its been a while! I know you deal with a lot of animals, so to refresh your memory..”Sinbad” was a white Siberian husky you brought to our house in Savannah in July 2010..we re-named him Diefenbaker, and he is doing great! (do you remember?) he and our white kitty are inseparable, and I walk Dief almost every day after work…the yard was completely fenced in after Dief moved in..then concrete was poured under the fence once he started digging holes (his favorite pastime…he buries EVERYTHING!) I finally found a fantastic harness for him that he can not wiggle out of from “Walk Your Dog With Love” (check it out!) and now I have even started to take him into the Nursing Home where I work to do pet therapy! My husband Raymond is home most of the time with Dief when I am working, and he spoils him with treats from the kitchen. H e IS a needy dog, very timid, but I think he has come along nicely. He also is NOT afraid to express his opinion on things! (very vocal)And when I call him to come inside, if he does not want to come, he turns his head away from me, closes his eyes, and pretends not to hear or see me! Luckily for him, he has a big dog house with comfy cushions, and he mostly does this on cold nights when the moon and stars are out….in the morning he paws at our bedroom window to come in, tho. Thank you so much for matching us with our dog…and please come visit us whenever you are in Savannah! Berkeley Grady
