Pete

Joy-

I just wanted to let you know how great Pete is doing at his new home – he is such a wonderful, sweet, beautiful dog!  He and our lab Marcie are instant friends and he has been showering us with kisses.  He loves to be brushed and loved the peanut butter dog treats we shared with him!  Our kids were so excited when he arrived and he fits in perfectly with our family.

Thank you for sending us this wonderful dog – he is perfect and will be pampered and spoiled, as all dogs should be!  I will send photos and another update soon.

Best wishes,
Liz

Logan

loganHi Friends at GARD,

I just wanted to send you this Christmas picture of Logan (aka Dash) that we adopted back in March and let you know that he is doing extremely well.  I can?t believe he will be one year old this month. We feel so blessed to have him as part of our family.  He is a confident, friendly pup and very funny too.  He loves people, plays nicely with other dogs and even likes cats.  I think he shows great potential for doing therapy work in nursing homes and hospitals in the future.  We hope your rescue work is going well and wish you the best in the coming year.

Have a Merry Christmas!

Sincerely,

Lisa S.

???????????????????????????????Hi Auntie Joy,

I wanted to let you know that I’m still doing great in my home. It took a little while but I can really be myself now and I’m a crazy little boy. I play with my toys all the time, and usually bring five or six of them on the couch at one time. I get so excited about every little thing because I’m so happy. My mommies must really love me because they are always kissing and hugging me, scratching my back and especially scratching my ears, I love that!!!!!!

I hope you like the pictures. I love to pose for pictures!!!!! One is with my two brothers, Pablo (Pabi) and Benito (Benny). (My real name is Miguel, Mikey is my nickname.) The other is just with Benny, and of course I had to send one of me in my Christmas tie.

I hope you and everyone at GARD have a wonderful Christmas. My mommies will be sending a check soon for a donation for the holidays.

Thanks again for saving me, you are wonderful!!!!

Love, Mikey

Murphy

murphy4Dear Joy,
Murphy is doing great!!!! He has adjusted very well and is probably the friendlyist dog I know!! He was nuetered about a week ago and he has been fightling a bad case of worms. (probably why he was so thin) He just finished his meds so we will recheck him in another week. He is pretty much potty trained and he is sleeping in our bed at night. He loves his walks and definetly likes the car! Thanks for saving such a sweet dog. He is such a lovable and gentle little guy. If you know anymore about him please let me know.

Thanks again,
Chris

Sara

Just a note to let you all know that Sara just passed and got her Canine Good Citizen Certificate, at The Potter  League for Animals, our local shelter. She was in a group of 5 dogs and did very well. Next its the Pet Therapy Certification. I have already brought both mastiffs into Nursing Homes. I am so proud of her.  Rose Murphy

Latte (Remy)

remy2Hi Joy,

I wanted to take the time to give you an update on my new baby Remy (latte).

After making the long ride from GA to CT Remy was a little tired and received some much needed TLC. I am absolutely in love with her! She is such a ball of energy during the day and a cuddle bug at night I absolutely love her kisses!

She fits right in with our family and walks well on her leash. She enjoys all the new toys I have spoiled her with.

Remy says “thankyou for everything you did for me. I am very happy to have my forever home.”

Obi

obipicsTime flies!  It?s been a year since we adopted Obi and we wanted to check in and share some photos.  We are so happy we have him and we are thankful for the work being done to place such wonderful deserving dogs!  Here are some photos of Obi adventures

Tinka Tank

Good Morning!

I keep meaning to get updated pictures of Tinka Tank (our “little” brindle boxer mix), but every time I turn around she’s grown again. Tank is now up to 20 pounds and getting along great with Keesha, our cocker spaniel.  They both have a grooming appointment on Tuesday the 7th, Tank doesn’t need it, but I think it will be a good learning experience for her.  She’s been great with our pool training, she will only come as close as the concert walk way and will not venture any closer. We’re very proud that she’s learned this so fast, mainly for safety! She’s learning to sit, unless it’s time to eat (we’re still working on patience) and we are working on laying down and staying (I think stay is a little advance for a puppy… so we’re taking that easy). We’ll be scheduling her spay shortly… I’m thinking maybe late July time frame, since Brent will be on leave and can “baby” her constantly once she’s home from the spay.  All and all (now that she’s having less accedence in the house ;-).)  She’s a great dog and we thank you so much for allowing us to adopt her.

Thank you again!

Daisy

daisy2Hello Joy,

My husband and I adopted Daisy about a year ago. The time spent with her has been bliss.  She is everything you said and more. We’ve had so many adventures together and I look forward to so many more! She loves everything we do from our long hikes, swimming, playing ball,car rides and playing with her dog friends.  She makes everything in life sweeter.

Thank you for all you do! Lorraine
