Cotton (Ollie)

photoIt’s been a year since I got Ollie from you. He gained 6 lbs. He was
10 pounds when I got him. He is still timid with men but he is a
different dog. He has brought me great joy and is full of himself
with me.  I named him Ollie luya. A play on alleluja.  I will send a
few more pics. I hope you are still strong in your mission and
continue ur work. If you need a trasporter let me know. I wish you
much joy.

kiwiDear Joy and others at the shelter,

Thank you for helping me find my new home!  My new family thinks I am great and tell me I am a good dog.  I am getting used to the new name they gave me and now I am called Kiwi…cause they have red fur on the outside.  I have a new sister (Jazz the Wheaton Terrier) and a brother (Jimmy the cat) and I really like them both.  Jazz and I go on walks with everyone in the family and it is really nice.  I learned some new things like how to walk up the stairs, that it is OK to go wherever I want in my new house, and kissing a cat gets you hissed at.  I just thought you would want to know how I was doing.

Kiwi the Golden Dog!

P.S.  in my picture I am smiling!

Ryleigh (Dolly)

dollyHi Joy,
I’ve attached a few photos of Ryleigh (Dolly). As you can see, she is doing great! She is the most lovable, sweet dog that we have ever had. She has adapted amazingly into our family and I can’t believe we have only had her 3 months……..seems like forever.
Enjoy the photos.

Buster

This was Buster who was used as a bait dog.  Pilots for paws took him to Florida.

I just wanted to touch base with you two about our newest and dearest family member. He is doing GREAT. He is eating regularly now. (thank goodness) He is the most loving thing we have ever meet. We got him some toys and he has his favorite that he carries around with him. He is so full of kisses and love in the morning. He climbs at the foot of my daughters bed everynight and helps wake up my granddaughter in the morning for school by sitting beside at the side of her bed kissing her until she wakes up. Thank you two for all that you do. We thank the good Lord that there are people like you out there because we think it would have been a shame for Buster not to be a part of this world. What a kind soul.

Dexter (Mullins)

dexterWe just adore him.  his name was dexter and we changed it to mullins.  i would love to know more about him and where he came from if you know anything that would be great.  i remember that he came from a kill shelter in sc and had some sisters but that’s all i know.  he was sick when we got him and very scared.  he had never been on a leash before and froze up when i put it on him.  he didn’t have normal bowel movements for a good month.  according to the vet even when he had gotten better he just had a very sensitive stomache.   even though times are tough with the economy etc.  we spend whatever we have on him.  we make sure he gets the best food and lots of toys.  we even try to get him organic treats.  he loves to play.  he tries to bring a toy with him whenever we go outside for a walk.  he loves the leash now and is not afraid of it at all.  it’s been great for me because he has me out walking more.  he has a room upstairs that he likes to go to and lay in the sun and look out the window.  he was up there sleeping this morning and i had become upset about something and he heard me cry.  he came charging down the stairs to my side the second he heard me.  i realized then how it is really them who rescue us.  it’s amazing how in just a few months he has become such an important part of our lives and i can’t even remember what it was like before we got him.  dogs have such great character and love us so unconditionally.  i feel forever indebted to him for all he does for us.  in return i do my best to make sure he has a great life and is spoiled, happy, and healthy.  i will send you a link to my website when i get it sorted.  we will try and get you some more puppy food too.

thanks!

Georgia (Rascal)

klyda 013Hi All,

Just wanted to send some pics to let you know how great Georgia is adjusting to her new home. Adopted on 7/18 here in NJ..our Greyhound Lucky was not so sure about his new sister. That’s all over and they are loving each other more everyday. She is just what he needed! Goergia is doing great, weighs in at a great 16 lbs and is just full of energy. We laugh every day since she arrived, she is quite the comedian! Hope you enjoy the updates and I have just sent her sample into Doggie DNA for testing, just to see what wonderful breeds make up this delightful dog!!! When folks ask us what kind of dog she is my husband’s answer is…”One that needed a forever home!” She certainly has one!

Best to All

P1010024Good morning. It was finely cool enough to take the girls to the beach with me. It has been too hot for them and alot of days too hot for me. Most of the summer ,I left them home in the ac. There were somedays I went to  the beach  and left because it was too hot even for me to sit there and living near the ocean didn’t help this much this summer.. Not our kind of weather, So, finally got our summer pixs. Rose and the girls.

Hannah
