Swazy

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,

Domino

dominoHello 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.

Marcel (Tuco)

marcelHey 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.

Sinbad (Diefenbaker)

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

Pictured left is his sister, Maddie. My husband has given Tot a new
name… Levi! And he is doing beautifully! Very smart and very
willing…. already has the leash down pat and responds to multiple
commands like “sit” “here” and “bedtime” Sooo cute and we love him to
pieces!

Naomi (Luna)

naomiHello!
I am sending you some pictures of Luna, previously known as Naomi mastiff mix.  She has already become part of the pack with her other sisters and brother, cats are still not too sure about her.  She is learning to run a lot better previously could not keep up with the long haired Chihuahua she is too fast for her.  She sleeps in the bed with me and the others, but she is growing so fast I might have to get her a bed soon and she snores really loud.  Luna is growing so fast she no longer fits in the small tub I use to bathe them, after only one month.  First thing she learned when she came to the house was to lie down on the sofa, my dad scooped her up and straight to sleep she went (first picture).  She has become a very happy puppy and will soon begin leash training; my dad (the veterinarian) said not to start her to early since it put too much stress on her young joints.  I just wanted to say thank you for the opportunity you guys gave me to adopt her, she has made our home complete again even the Chihuahua is happy again to have a friend to play with and boss around.  Thank You Heydie
P.S. I would send you a picture of her when she is fully grown.

Munken

munkenHello, I’ve emailed you once before but it’s been awhile so I thought I’d send you a more up-to-date photo.  Munken as we call her is still doing great with us.  We adopted her back in Spring of 2010 and she has been a wonderful addition to our family!  Thanks again!

Colette (Nicky)

coletteMerry Christmas to all of my friends at Georgia Animal Rescue and Defence. This is Nikki (formerly Colette). I wanted to say “Thank You” for taking care of me until my new Mom and Dad could bring me home.

I’m having a great time here in Florida. I have a huge yard to play in. I play with my toys, dig holes, and chase the squirrels and birds. I’ve even chased Miss Kitty up the tree a couple of times. We take walks together, and rides in the car. At night I sit with Mom and Dad watching TV.  It’s great fun!

I like my new vet, and my groomer. She did a wonderful job of making sure I looked perfect for my Christmas picture (see attached).

Again, I want to wish all of my friends there a Merry Christmas, and hope all of you find great homes in the New Year.

Best Wishes!
Nikki
