Fozzy

We are in love!!! Archie (Fozzy) is our little boy now, and you can’t have him back!! We have bonded with each other so perfectly. I can’t believe how fast he fit in, like he was with us the past seven years! I’ve been able to brush him but his belly and back legs have some mats that need to be cut out. I’ll take that slow. I’m afraid his first trip to the groomer will leave him without those blonde wavy curls for a while. He did let me trim around his eyes and remove the black goo, so he can see pretty good and no longer paws at his eyes. He trusted me completely with the scissors that close! No fuss at all!! The pictures show Archie and me in the sunroom on the couch. The one with him nose to nose to a ceramic dog on the floor is cute. I made that dog in ceramics back in the late 70s to look like our first Lhasa. The greenware was of an old English sheepdog. My description of CheeChee and her long hair was misinterpreted by our instructor, but it’s cute anyway and was true to size of our little girl. The third picture is on our pontoon boat this past Friday. It was a beautiful warm and sunny day and Archie loved it!!!! We had friends over Friday also, and he warmed up to Donna right away.....it took longer with Sam, but he understood and gave him his space. He has also warmed up to Curry, a female labradoodle next door. The barking has even ceased when they meet. Other dogs and walkers get a loud but not aggressive bark. It’ll take time. So you see, he’s ours 100 percent!!! You can’t get him back. Turn in the contract! Thanks for all you do, and bless you for saving our precious Archie!!!!

Jack

Jack is doing great! He's settled in nicely to our family. He loves wearing sweaters and playing frisbee (and eating all the treats in sight!) I have plenty of pictures of him I'd love to share! Thank you so much for connecting me with my best friend!

Henry

We're in Zen . Have a wonderful evening. He seems to like the name BooBoo. I find he looks at me and wags his tail so the name has stuck. He's BooBoo now. He's a Rock Star. He loves to sit on my shoulder. We are THE MATCH. Thank You.

Reese

We are absolutely in love with Reese and he has been truly the perfect addition to our family. We just adopted him on the 4th of July, and he has adapted very well over the past 6 weeks. He has also been through a lot and has recovered remarkably well. Reese had the surgeries he needed with our vet - he had an infected tooth extracted, a tumor removed from his leg, ultrasounds for his lungs and heart, x-rays for his hips and back, and blood tests for his thyroid. X-rays showed that his hips and knees were ok but his back is bridging between L1 and L5, so we're going to keep him comfortable with continued joint supplements, Rimadyl , fish oil and daily massage therapy and Reiki. He was diagnosed with larangeal paralysis where his flaps in his throat don't open properly for him to breath as easily as he should. There is a surgical procedure that on down the road we may have to consider but it comes with it's own list of health issues. So for now the vet has us keeping him indoors in central air conditioning when it's muggy, hot or humid out. We go for short walks later in the evening or earlier in the morning and he goes out just long enough multiple times during the day to go potty. He loves exploring the fenced-in yard and he visits with the pot belly pigs and the chickens. We're getting ready to make that yard even a bit bigger and he'll have even more room when he's outside. We go for walks on a leash outside the fence - we have about 13 acres - but he gets short of breath easily so we don't go too far. We're working on "come" "stay" and "sit". These may take a bit - I don't think he's ever had any obedience training, but he's eager to please and does try very hard. He takes treats so gently out of your hand and he enjoys sitting on the outdoor love seat on the porch in the evenings with my husband. Reese seems to have taken to Kevin in a big way, though he likes me well enough. We had one other dog - a small Beagle/Boston mix when we adopted Reese - her name was Grace and she was 13 years old. We've been battling kidney failure with her for a little over a year, and this past weekend she went downhill quickly and was euthanized this past Tuesday. My husband was devastated as he had her since she was 2 years old.a However, when he came home from work that day, Reese made sure he was right there to greet him. Reese can be such a goofball and he made Kevin smile and laugh and really filled a big void that would have been more difficult this past week if Reese were not with us. Many thanks for all your do, for your kindness, and for giving this dog a very loving home.
