Manley Stanley is home!

"First let me tell you how happy Stanley was to be home last night! When we pulled into the driveway, he knew exactly where he was and ran to the front door where he was greeted by his big sister, Bailey. They sniffed, wagged, and picked up right where they left off-romping and playing. After a reacquaintance with the rest of the house, we went for a walk to get back in touch with and "read" the woods on our walking trail. (Nothing like the scent of skunk, deer, and who knows what else!!!:) I don't know what you guys did with Stan, but if I didn't know it was him, I'd swear you replaced him with the good twin! He's so obedient and disciplined. Most of all he's free of the anxiety and hyperactive behavior that led him to seek out places to mark, and he doesn't feel like barking at everything! Instead of charging into the yard, he calmly went out to do his business and came back in this a.m. I have to believe that the combination of skilled training and the DAP collar have made all the difference in the world to this little guy. I can't thank you enough for your efforts and understanding. This is truly a happy ending, and wish all the SH dogs happy stories and loving homes. Blessings to you all."

Lady is a corporate mascot!

"Hello,
I'm just writing to let you know Lady is doing great. She has adjusted well, and seems to
be happy living here. She is such a good dog, that she goes to work with me and has
become our corporate mascot. She sleeps at my feet under my desk usually wrapped up in her blanket. We had a few "accidents" at first until she got adjusted; but now everything is wonderful and I truly love her. Thank you so much for this dog."

Pugger-Dooooooooo has a brother!

"Back in March, I came in adopted a pure-bred pug whose papers called him "Gable".... we have renamed him Pugsley (mostly we call him Pugger-Dooooooooo - LOL), but he is great! He gets along famously with our other dog, Blackie, a rat terrier/beagle mix. Pugsley is now 20+ pounds and solid puppy so he outweighs Blackie by a few pounds. Thanks again!!"

Breeze is very happy and loves to snuggle!

"I just wanted to tell you Breeze has adapted very well already. He acts like he's been with us for years. We have two cats, one that is indifferent to him, and one who is a little jealous, but is getting over it. He gets excited when he hears "outside" and has loved his walks. Everyone seems to be getting along really well. Breeze is very happy and loves to snuggle with someone while he's sleeping. I think we have found a great addition to our family. Thank you!"

Lucy adjusts to life in Washington!

"My parents LOVE her! The kids at school LOVE her (she arrived on Tuesday and met them on Thursday - what a trooper! I don't think I would have done as well with 20 kids crowding around me - she responded SO SWEETLY to them!) Everyone at work asks about her daily. Mom and Dad love us to come over there - they even have a "bed" for her and a toy and food and a bowl -- just in case, you know! :-)
My neighbor is shocked with how well Lucy has bonded to me. She thinks it is great. Her high school kids love Lucy too and the family was talking about her so much that the son in college had to come meet her last weekend while he was home. Lucy is my new alarm clock - consistently getting up at 6 (give or take 10 min) every morning. And if I stay up too late, she goes in and crawls on her bed. We love playing fetch with a ball, but she found an old tennis ball in the yard and that one is HERS. She plays ball BY HERSELF with that one - pushing it across the grass with her nose, then pouncing on it, then running around like someone is chasing her. It's a RIOT! I am definitely a very happy "adoptive parent"! Give the others at the vet office a big thank you from me. I love my new little buddy!!!"
