Sage & Sachem's Happy Ending

Take care Deanna Posted July 28/09

Hello Everyone,

We just wanted to give you an update on Sage and Sachem as they are doing great! They completely feel like they are part of the family. We have not put up a fence as the dogs don't run from us. They have ran off twice in 5 months b/c of chasing something, but I think we keep them pretty much entertained and exercised that they just hang out on the porch on the front lawn with us. We don't even need leashes unless we take them off the property and down the country roads.

Sage is a little traveler that likes to sit under the tires on my truck until I take him to work and he goes nuts when he gets his daily car ride. My husband has to run up the stairs and dive into bed before sachem so that there is room for him...LOL.

Half of sages face was paralyzed about a month after we got him, and we thought he had a stroke. The VET said it was no stroke and he has a thyroid disorder which we give him pills and eye drops as his eye was having problems blinking. The issue is starting to resolve itself and he is doing much better with the pills.

Anyway, here are some recent pictures of them so you can see how well they are doing! I still can't believe no one wanted these dogs.... They are Wonderful!

Star's Happy Ending

Good morning Andrea et al,
A quick note to let you know how happy we and Star are!!! She is the GREATEST dog. Star knows her name very well, comes, sits, lays down, loves to play fetch and adores Cassie and Jessie. She loves to go to the barn and help with the horses. She is soooo smart and obedient. It is lovely to see her going out to the pasture to see the horses, Her lovely tail up and wagging constantly. She's wonderful in the house, Must of had a home as the first thing she did after getting here was get up on the couch!! (That ended quickly!) She's getting used to all the cats, Still thinks there for playing with sometimes. The cats are getting her straight. One is already rubbing up against her! She's very quiet, Dosn't bar unnecessarily but lets us know if someone arrives. We've left her alone for short periods up to 2 hours and she's just fine. We made sure she had her own bed (blanket) and a toy, "hedgie" the little hedgehog she chose in the store. She even knows hedgies name and goes and gets it when asked. She has a beautiful smile! The sore on her back is healed. I used Proviodine solution and it worked great. Her incision is also healed. I really can't say enough about star!! She is the most wonderful companion to us all!!! Thank you very much for choosing us!!!!!!! Will send photos soon.

Sincerely,
Theresa

Spike's Happy Ending

Hi Everyone, We are so happy that Spike has come to live with us. We have had a very empty home since having lost our cat two years ago and our dog last fall. It seems that we spent a long time looking for the right cat. We must have been just waiting for Spike. One look at his picture on the website and it was a match made in heaven. Once we made our visit to your shelter and were able to spend a little time with your resident cats we knew that Spike was the one for us.

Mitzi's Happy Ending

Hi, My name is Mitzi and my mom tells me I'm not very photogenic and I'm much cuter in person...( she's right too ). The really great news is that I chewed up only 1 couch, 1 ottoman and have gone to smaller items such as shoes , reading glasses and I just love throw rugs ! I simply have no idea where I get the energy from to chew all this stuff because I run and swim all day long ... and I want another dog because my sister and brother are too old and can't keep up with me and the cats just roll their eyes at me like saying 'oh, brother " but mom says NO MORE PETS !!... 8 is enough !! and besides there's no more furniture for any more pets to lay on anymore.
