Mitzi is a gem!"Hello! We have had Mitzi (the pekingese) for six full months now, and she is a GEM. Affectionate and loyal, she enjoys our other dogs and is very much a part (if not the nucleous) of our family. This silky-furred pooch is no shy violet! She's loaded with personality and has a mind of her own. Her huge, doe-like eyes express exactly how she feels about everything that goes on. What a little chow hound she is! Every speck of food is devoured, which explains why she feels much heavier than she looks. August 07, 2011
Taofan is smart as a whip!"I wanted to write to thank the prisoner for training this fun little gal, Puddles. We do understand where she got that name though. She gets so excited, she makes a little puddle. She is smart as a whip and definitely spoiled rotten. She has learned to open the door to my art studio, and now refuses to walk in with me. Rather, she waits for me to go inside and close the door, so she can open it herself. She's a joy. I did change her name to Taofan. It is chinese for "escapee." I thought the name was a fitting tribute to her background. Thank you so much for taking her in and giving her love until I found her." July 13, 2011
Lilly is loved beyond measure!!To my new friends at safe harbor when I started my journey to find a new dog after I had lost my beloved dog sammy due to old age I had made a promise to myself to take my time look at every option and make a well informed choice not an emotional one.I also wanted a young dog so I wouldn't have to go thru the pain of a loss for many years. As I say that was my plan till I went to see the dogs..............There were a few dogs that I had seen online that I had come to see all young! The safe harbor crew were swamped so I just was looking at the dogs all cute, all playing and jumping around lots of people looking at them and then I saw these big ears on this little dog who was limping on a back leg and definitely not young looking around scared. I had brought my five year old grandaughter with me as well as my 12 year old dog gizzmo and it was my grandaughter who said grammy look at this little dog (janice) isn't she cute and their she stood torn ear and looking right at me saying I am full of love willyou love me? I'm saying to myself walk away no emotion susan no emotion and rembering reading her story online she had made it through the tornado in joplin a sad background and it was at that moment that it hit me shes not a old lookover dog she's a survior just like I am having made it thru two kidney transplants breast cancer and several other serious health issues lots of scars both physical and emotional yet I still love and live a life of hope. This little dog was mine!!! Life being life never gives you any guarantees reguardless if your one or ahundred so age really doesn't have anything to do with love. My heartfelt thanks to safeharbor for the wonderfull work you do also to allthe prisoners who put so much time andove in what they do. Lilly-Janice is the most wonderful dog I have ever owned she goes everywhere that we go and always brings lots of attention and love from strangers.It is my miss ion in life to give lilly all the love and care every moment of her life however long or short it may be. She will leave this world knowing she is loved beyond measure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" June 09, 2011
Thor is a good listenerI adopted Bongo on April 30th this year and we have had a blast ever since. We decided to rename him Thor because we already have a black lab named Zeus and my husband insisted we stay with the Greek God theme for our male dogs. I have 3 dogs all together; Zeus, Zoey and now Thor who fits right in with the other 2. They play all day long, my living room is now an elaborate obstacle course and my bed has no chance of staying neatly made but it makes for lots of laughs and fun. He is very loving and is the best cuddle buddy a girl could ask for! My husband loves how affectionate he is as well, I catch them napping together all the time. May 18, 2011
