Hi Joy,
We adopted Elvira, who is now known as Vayder.  We couldn't have asked for a better dog.  She loves to play and be outside which is good because the nice weather is coming and we plan on being outside a lot. We took her to the beach the other day and she was so excited to be somewhere new where she could just run, play, and explore.  I must say, it was funny to she her reaction to the noise the waves make on the beach.   Anyway,  thank you so much for the opportunity to share our life with Vayder.  I have attached a photo of her at the beach.

Hi, My husband and daughter were in Pet Supermarket on May 24, 2008.  You all were there having an adoption day.  He adopted a visually impaired shitzu for me that day.  I know this is a really long time coming and you probably don't remember, but he has always wanted me to send pictures of "our baby".  I would always forget, but tonight I was watching Dog Town on tv and was thinking how greatful I am for people like you.  Without you and your work I would not have my Benji (who I call my "forever baby", he really is a mama's boy).  He's come along way and is doing amazing.  Most of the time you would never know he can't see.  I just wanted you to see some pictures of him and let you know how much your hard work is appreciated.
Sincerely.
Lisa
p/s I believe the name of the person who personally helped my husband that day was Joy,but we thank you all.

 

Buffy is thirty pounds of pure love.   Georgia Animal Rescue and Defence Inc.  was very helpful in answering all our questions and with the paperwork.  Buffy quickly felt at home and follows me all around the house.  She loves sitting next to us in the living room and going for walks in the park where she had this photo taken.  Notice no leash!  She stayed right with me!  She didn't like being left at the groomer, but she sure looks great!  Of course that doesn't make any difference to a dog.   LIbby

 

Hi Joy,
My family loves our new dog Cosmo!  Cosmo is such a sweet boy and he has transitioned into our family very well.  We cleaned him up with a good grooming and he is starting to put on some weight.  He follows our dog Jack around everywhere and is such a love with our two children.  We couldn't have asked for a better dog!  Thank you very much for all your hard work and dedication to these animals in need.
 
Sincerely,

Hi Joy.  Hope all is well with you and the rescued critters.  Lizzy Lou is doing great.  She was spayed yesterday and I have attached the receipt from Godley Station as proof of the procedure (per the adoption agreement).  She is feeling a little lousy today but is sleeping right now.  She is such a good girl and we love her to pieces.  We take her to our house up in NC every few weeks and she absolutely loves it up there.  I've attached some photos. She is a mountain dog for sure and has a friend, Chiquita, that comes over to play up there.  They are funny.  We also have taken her to the dog park in Savannah at the corner of 41st and Drayton and she has a blast with the other dogs.  It's funny how you get to know the dogs names before their parents names.  Anyway, take care.  I would love to get Lizzy a sister or brother from you one day before we move to the NC house.  We'll see.  Take care.

 

Hi Joy!
Just wanted to give you an update on our little Rascal!  We adopted him in January of this year and couldn't be happier with him.  He's a big old lazy butt, and loves spending a majority of his time on "his" couch.  The second we opened our front door he claimed that couch as his throne.  It took him a while to get used to the cold, but once he saw his first snow fall he was hooked!  He had the time of his life in the yard, jumping through the snow and eating the falling snow!  The neighbors get a kick out of him, they said they could watch him all day long!  He loves everyone and everything!  His favorite is hide and seek with the kids and chewing the feet off of Barbie dolls!  We couldn't have asked for a better dog he truly is a big part of our family now.

 

Hi Joy,

I just wanted to THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your help. Raven is gorgeous and so friendly! She was shy at first, but after about an hour she was a happy puppy! We love her so much already. We could not be happier with her.

Good luck with the rest of your puppies!

 

Dear Joy,
 
Betsy is just the sweetest little dog, and everyone who meets her (especially the neighborhood children) falls in love.  She follows her mom around like a shadow and has discovered that her human's bed is a wonderful place to spend the night and take daytime naps.  She has her own chair where she can look out windows to check up on what's
happening outside and watch the birds. 
 
She was obviously well socialized for, when I took her for a walk yesterday, we visited with three dogs; her tail wagged a mile a minute while she urged them to 'come play with me', and she joyously greets every person she encounters.  She is such a good girl that Shirley and I often wonder about her former home and why she ended up in a high-kill shelter before you rescued her.
  
Bless you for your wonderful efforts to find homes for these precious babies.
 
Lucinda

 

 

 

Dear Joy
Mike said you wanted some pictures of Duncan.  He is doing very well and is lots of fun.  He sits and stays and comes when called some of the time.  He does his business outside most of the time.  He is not biting as much as when he first came to us.  He has a wonderful personality and seems very happy.  Thanks for all that you do

 

 

 

 

I just wanted to drop a note to say Tank is doing very well. He was neutered on Thursday and is back to his normal self  already. I have attached some pix of him. The one in the snow was taken Wednesday the 4th. He is almost 50 pounds, very strong but very gentle. The other was taken in November with his best girl Millie who we brought with us when we picked up Tank. Millie was spayed the same day as Tank. Thanks for the great work you do.

Joy,

I wanted to thank you for helping me and Jarrett find Crimson a sister.  "Clover" is adjusting well despite Crimson's best efforts to keep her away from her things.  They are so cute together.  Enclosed are a few pics of them.

Thanks again,

Chelsie

 

Hi Joy:
 
I just wanted to let you know that Kylah is a treasure and she seems to be happy with her new home.  She spent four hours at the groomer yesterday who has a special touch with rescue dogs, especially terriers.  We checked with the vet on her records and learned that she's almost 8 years old, which explains her calm attitude and some of the gray hair.
 
So I am attaching pictures of the lovely Kylah (her new middle name is Zulu).  She is so sweet and as you suggested, she is a man's dog (but not for long).  Thanks for all you do and best regards,
 
Catherine

 

Sula has a wonderful life here on Nantucket Island. She gets three walks a day, one of them off leash with other dogs and just recently she has learned to stay with me out in the moors and be off leash. We have two cats who she sort of plays with, when they will, but she really wants to chase them.  She needs a dog buddy who she can play with, she is incredibly social and wonderful.  After I realized she had terrier in her I had to learn how to deal with that but now
things are moving forward really well.

This dog was one of the fifteen we were able to get away from a hoarder situation. 

 

We adopted Angel from you last May.  I just wanted to thank you.  She is the best family dog we could ever ask for.  She is spoiled rotten, but that is how it should be.
 
Thank you,
Susan

3 weeks ago we came to you guys in Pembroke and adopted a 16 month old Shepherd Mix. "Mo" has become a great pup and a great member of the family!  He is doing a great job with the house training so far and stands at the door when he needs to go outside! When we first came and walked our cute little brown and black friend he wouldn't walk on the leash at all and would just lay flat on the ground.  Now he is a joy to walk around and he loves going on walks and to the park. He is very sweet with other dogs and is just a puppy full of love!  Thank you so much for the work that you do and thank you for bringing little Mo and I together!
