No more sad eyes for Carl!!"Hi, Knight was renamed Carl (by my Mother who is Swedish and says this is a king's name). He is so happy. He loves being a farm dog. He sleeps with me at night, but he loves being outside during the day. He has taught me several games including fetch and chase me which we play morning and evening. He has worn a path around the chicken coop and would love to catch one for me. My Mother said yesterday that he didn't have sad eyes anymore and I agreed. He does still cower around men and yelps and pulls his tail in if they come close. He is a VERY picky eater! I think his previous owners gave him mostly people food. He is eating now though (IAMS dry with yogurt)and has gained up to where the doctor thinks he needs to be now. He runs like the wind all the time so it is a challenge to keep him up to weight (wish I had this problem, ha). He loves being hugged around the neck, especially by the grandchildren. He found his first skunk last week. We had to throw out the collar and even soak his tags in tomato juice. Unfortunately we didn't notice until he got in the house, so it was a day long adventure getting everyone and everything smelling good again. Anyway, I just wanted you to know he was doing well and is the perfect fit for our family." November 19, 2008
Zippy is part of the family"We adopted Zippy a black Lab from you 2 years ago. He is doing great and he is the most spoiled dog we've ever owned. He is so very happy and will shake your hand or give you a high 5. He will chomp without barking on command. We just love him. He is my husband's best friend. Zippy watches out the window everyday for daddy to come home. He seems to be a lost pup when one of us would go out of town. He is spoiled rotten and considered one of the family members. Please share our stories as "Success Stories". We are so very happy that we purchased him from your organization. He is our baby and treat him as such. He is always going to be an inside dog. We keep up on his shots and use Iams dog food. He gets presents at Christmas just like everyone else. We want a play mate for him during the day and one that won't eat us out of house and home. Thank you for all you do and share!" November 18, 2008
Whiskey is perfect in every way!"My fiance and I took Whiskey home a couple of months ago, and I wanted to thank you all for caring for him before he could come to us. He has truly been perfect in every way! He only peed in the house twice, and both times were right after we got him when he was simply scared by a new situation. He gets along with every dog (and after some acclimation, every cat too) he comes in contact with. He's amazing with my 10-month-old niece; he only infrequently licks her, and is extremely careful not to bump into or step on her. He never chews on things he's not supposed to. He listens pretty well and knows his boundaries. He loves his back yard (though we're working on getting him to CHEW his bones and not bury them in the back yard). He loves tennis balls, but we're working on finding one that isn't destroyed after just a few hours of him playing with it. I could gush about him for pages, but the bottom line is, everyone he meets goes on and on to us about how blown away they are by how well-behaved he is. All I tell them is that we haven't had to do anything except continue to enforce rules we set, and the rest is either in his nature or was taught by someone working with Safe Harbor. Whoever it was that helped him become such a wonderful dog, my fiance and I just want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts and assure you that he's found a loving home for the rest of his life."

Luke is extremely smart and cuddly!"Hello. I adopted a member of the Brady bunch back in May. I came home with Peter, now named Luke. He is a wonderful dog!! He is extremely smart and cuddly! Originally, we were told he was a Lab mix but I have heard many different things. Most recently I have heard Shepherd/Border Collie mix. He has floppy ears but the coloring of a shepherd. He's just adorable and I absolutely love him! Thank you for his beginning training time because I can definitely tell he has benefited from that." November 12, 2008
Jaxson is a lover boy!"Jaxson is doing wonderful. He is such a little lover boy. He loves to play, he loves to be held, and he really loves to eat. For such a little guy, he seems to eat a lot. We really love him and so does Tessa the other Chihuahua. I can't imagine our life without him......Thank you all so very much!!!" |
