Our Happy Endings...........

Balto

Balto came to us from Animal Rescue early in March.
He a 5 yr old husky/lab mix who is totally blind due to birth defects.
Both Scott and I fell in love with him when we first met him as well as our other rescued dog JoJo who is his big brother.

He certainly has found his forever home and is loved by all, furry and human alike.
It didn't take him long to figure out our house and yard, or to climb up on your lap.
He loves to go for truck drives and has recently taken to swimming.
He loves going to PawPrints Doggy Daycare and has a whole group of friends there as well.

Despite Balto's life prior to coming to us included abuse and malnutrition he has got to be one of the happiest, most loveable dogs we know.

Thank you Animal Rescue for letting us adopt Balto as you can tell by his picture life at his new home is grand.

Hello Auntie Virginia.  Did you remember it was two years yesterday since you gave me to these people? They're cracked you know.  I have had such a hard time training them but they are finally starting to come around and understand that I AM the one in charge.  I Love when a plan comes together!!! My Daddy is a real sucker for me, my Mom not so much, but I think that's usually the way with families don't ya think Auntie Virginia.? I just cock my head to one side and my Daddy is a goner, but my Mommy is onto to my tricks.  She's a harder case.   Now I must say that I have my Auntie Chrissy wrapped around my paw.  She just loves me to death just like she should. My Lucy dog is not very well though.  I don't think she'll be running with me much longer.  That makes me sad cause I loves her a whole big bunch, even if she is OLD!  BUT I still have my little Koko to play with.  So, we have play dates with my other friends and I play out in Shubie at the lake with all kinds of puppies but I do miss my friend Berko (who tried to bite me!).  I thought that was just stuff "humans" did, not dogs.  Oh well. I have to go now.  It's time for me to whine and whimper so Daddy will take me for a walk.  We do this every night and he doesn't have it right yet..  He thinks I have to wait till he finishes his tea but I KNOW I should be walked first.  You wait thoough, I'll get him yet.  He's the weak link in this house!!! Love you Auntie Virginia.  I don't know yet whether to thank you or give you the "paw".  Ask me in another year or so. Love & Licks Brady

Chance

Chance - We have renamed Chico Chance and he is responding to it already. A very quick and responsive dog. Thanks for letting us have him. My wife says he snores just like me but we expect that will be fixed with his surgery.

Gina

Just dropping a line to say thank-you for the opportunity to have a puppy like Gina, now known as "Ginger". We brought her home Saturday and it hasn't taken her long to settle in as part of the family. She's done alot of exploring in her new home, and she sleeps rather well, as you can see in the photos ! We're bringing Ginger to Westwood tomorrow for her second de-worming and registration. We've already went out and purchased her a new girlie collar/leash combo. On Sunday morning after an hour or so, and a few treats later, Ginger will now sit on command..Fast learner she is. All the neighbour's love her, and she doesn't seem to mind the neighbourhood cats and dogs..actually she puts them in their place real fast with that mighty bark of hers.!! Thank-you again, we'll send more photos soon. David and Angela.

Gina/Ginger Update!!!!!

Hi guys,
It's me Ginger...Well it's been almost three months now with my new family, and things are GREAT..!!!!
I've got my own bedroom, a basket full of toys, plenty of delicious treats on hand (for when I do really good things), and mom and dad even take me to doggie daycare on a regular basis..!!!!
I really look forward to doggie daycare because I get to see all my other doggie friends that I've made in such a short time...
Mom and Dad even took me to a professional pet photographer to have my pictures taken...I think mom and dad really are truly happy to have me.
AAHH....Life is good...!!!!
We'll I have to go to bed now, so I've attached a couple of new photos so you can see how well I've adapted to my new surroundings..

Bye for now....Woof.

Hallee

Well, we got her and have fallin in love with her. It really is a shame that Pit Bulls/Am Staffs have a negative reputation because our girl is wonderful and I could not imagine our lives with out her. Hallee loves to play with dogs that are willing to chase her. She is so fast and will run slow to allow others to catch up... just before you reach her, she'll turn on the speed and she's gone. (smiling like pitties do) She loves naps, cuddling, and tugging on her ropes. She likes to push us with her paw (just like a little person) when she wants some love. I cannot thank you enough for allowing us to adopt Hallee. She's part of our family and we'll never let her go. Anna & Steve

Peaches

Hey I found a new family!!  Can you tell from my picture how happy I am?
Everyone in my new home loves me and I am so glad to be here.  It sure is a lot different from a kennel and I was a little confused at first and had a few accidents in the house.  But then I was shown the great outdoors and the rest is history.  And the treat I get afterwards doesn’t hurt either!
The kids here are great.  They love to get my toys out and play with me.  They hide my squeaky toy and I get to try to figure out who has it.  I get them every time.  Like they could hide my favorite toy from me.  They laugh... I bark... and we do it all over again.
I know how to sit, speak, lay down, roll over and even dance.  We are working on ‘sit pretty’ but I just get too excited and want to jump and dance.  I think mommy has given up on it.  I learned everything else really fast.  mommy says I am a very smart little girl who loves her chicken snacks.  I'd do anything for a chicken snack!
So all in all ... LIFE IS GREAT!! :)  A family who loves and adores me, fun toys, and long walks ... Who could ask for more?!

Ruby

Here is Ruby. When she was first brought into rescue she was  very  malnourished and needed  some TLC  that only a good  home and  people who love her could give.  Once she got some TLC she  quickly blossomed!!!

And here is Ruby today. Healthy and happy and full of life......here is what her new mom has to say.....


When ARC first sent me a picture of Ruby on Valentine's Day she didn't look anything like the little beauty you see here.  But in spite of being starved, Ruby's eyes looked bright and alert, as if she knew that her circumstances had just taken a turn for the better.  Now she lives in the country with two doggie brothers and four kitties.  Ruby especially likes our long hikes in the woods every morning...or is it the home made dog cookies...or maybe its those darn squirrels that just won't sit still and wait for her: )))    Ruby is part lab, part hound and perhaps shepherd too.  Whatever the mix, Ruby is all sweetheart and I'm really happy she is here.

Thanks Janet your one great mom!!!!!!
