Hi Joy,
Here’s Bella (formerly Reese) with her “big brother” Tanner. We just can’t get over how sweet and well-behaved she is! We had all of our extended family over for Christmas, and everybody just loved her. We’ll send more pics once she has filled out a little. 🙂
Thanks again!
Sara
P.S. What a small world?I was at my friend Dara’s house yesterday, and I found out that her new dog is also a rescue dog from GARD!!
Hi Joy,
Just wanted to show you some pictures of Tess and Emma. When I get more pictures of Tess (when she’s older I’ll send them to you).

Hi Joy,
Happy Holidays to you and your family!! I hope your holidays were filled with joy and happiness.
As you can see by the pictures Murphy is doing very well. He has been part of our family for almost 2 months now and we love him so much. He loves everybody and is so sweet. Remember how skinny he was? Well his first trip to the vet he weighed in at 23 lbs and he is now 31!!! He looks wonderful !! He loves to eat and has filled out so nicely. He loves to play and has so many toys but his favorites are the ones that squeek!! He also will steel your slippers if you don’t have them on! He loves to go in the car and for walks. Walks are a bit tough right now with this winter weather in NY. He didn’t really like the snow in the beginning but he really didn’t have a chose. That white stuff is here for a few more months. I sent you a few recent pictures. As you can see Murphy loves sleeping with my youngest son, Kyle!! They didn’t even know I took the picture. He is still a “scardy cat”and is afraid of a lot of things but we are working on that with him. I hope you have a Happy and Healthy New Year. Thank you for saving such a sweet dog!
Chris, Murphy and the entire Snyder Family
I’m a sweet Georgia Girl, I wished upon a star and found out that dreams do come true. I am told that my original owners, from Georgia could not afford me so surrendered me to a place that destroys dogs that they cannot find homes for. Lucky for me a nice lady from GARD, a rescue foundation in Georgia that has a no kill policy rescued me before I met a terrible demise. I was sent to Canada to a rescue foundation that helps out because there is so much poverty where I come from that people aren’t able to adopt homeless animals such as myself. I was adopted by some people that didn’t understand me and weren’t able to give me time to adjust into my new home when I displayed behavior that they weren’t willing to work with. I once again found myself in a Shelter waiting for my forever home.
Like I mentioned at the beginning of my story dreams to come true. There are no more broken promises in my life. I now live in a home that has more than enough love to go around. I live with two other canine companions, two cats that refuse to run from me, a bunny and two guinea pigs that give me what for if I get my nose to close. I am still wary of men but am getting more confidence almost daily. I listen really well to my people and have good recall. My mom says I play nice with the other dogs at the dog park. In the spring my boy,(the one who saved his money and rescued me), says he is taking me to agility…not sure what that is but it sounds like fun I can hardly wait.
Thank you to all the angels that worked so hard to see that I found my forever home. There is a special place in heaven for all of you.
Love,
Your Little Duck Tooler

Hi Joy,
Just wanted to let you know that we are all head over heels in love with Reese (now “Bella”)! She is settling in very nicely and is an absolute sweetheart. Thank you so much, and have a wonderful Christmas!
Best,

Hi There
I already sent you some pictures via “regular mail” but I wanted to share some more with how happy he is !! He doesn’t care for the snow or cold but he enjoys following my other dogs around the yard so they are helping him to deal with it better, he watches them plow thru all the snow & joins them quickly then runs back into the warmth of the house 🙂 I have to tell you also I see his “grin” ALL THE TIME!! & it’s the most precious face I’ve ever seen!!! I absolutely adore him!! he is extremely smart & great with my dogs. He is terrifified of the leash, it definately triggers something awful with him but once the weather improves I will patiently teach him it leads to a fun walk! Enjoy the pictures, and happy holidays!
Best,
Eileen
We wanted to let you know that Whiskey(Keebler) has settled in nicely. The 1st few days were a little dicey, but he is a LUV and has already learned sit, off, down, and lots of leave its!! He is great with my norwhich, and not so good with my cat!! The first time he saw a horse he barked for 10 min straight, but now they are just part of the back yard. The snow is great entertainment, good thing cause theres more on the way! thanks for our dog. we appreciate all your hard work. jim and kerry p.
Hello – we recently adopted one of the little Chihuahua puppies and thought you would like to see her picture. This is Tori Moon. She is doing very well, and getting along well with our other dogs. Thanks again for saving the animals.

Hi, Joy;
I have renamed Travis to Nicholas (Nicky) and he is settling in well ay my home on the Vineyard after two days at my girlfriend’s house in Newton, MA. He has been well behaved, playful with Tuxedo, and passed the toddler test on the ferry last night.
He is sitting at my feet right now, and has a Vet appointment this afternoon.
No chewing issues (so far), though he does have counter surfing tendencies. He is a sweet, lovely dog. He and Tuxedo have regular play sessions. What can I say, he is even better than Tux on a leash. How anyone could bear to give him up is beyond my understanding….

Jonesy (aka Theo) is coming along nicely since we adopted him in August. Still a tad timid, but just the sweetest, cutest dog ever-as you can see!
Merry Christmas,
Nancy Whitaker
