Joy, I hope you're having a great summer. Lily is enjoying the pool as you can see. She is a great companion. I'm thinking about signing her up for agility classes. You may see her on the Big Screen someday !!! Haha. Take care for now and enjoy your summer. Chris and Lily |

Greetings, My name is Steven Guidaboni and a few months ago (November) I adopted Comet from you guys. I am happy to say that Comet is loving his new home in Stoughton, MA. He is socializing so well, and hes great with kids. We spoil him wayyy too much as well I guess. He has a nice fenced in kennel to run around in, he goes on his daily walks, and hes even gone swimming in the pool a few times! I just wanted to send a few pictures to keep you updated and to say thank you for allowing us to adopt such a great dog. He is such a little kid with his own mannerisms and personality, I honestly cannot imagine our family without him. Have a great holiday, and keep up the great work you are doing. Sincerely, Steven and Susan Guidaboni and Comet |

Hey Joy hope all is well down south I was going to
give a 1 year update on Ripley but when i checked the website and saw his
picture on the youtube link i thought to give his update now. After
meeting you and hubby in CT over labor day weekend Ripley has just been
amazing the neighborhood kids running of the school bus to look for him,
to our many daily hikes usually more than 3 miles, he never gets tired
just keeps going and going.He is the smartest lab that i have had, you
need to only tell him once and he understands whether he has done good or
bad.Being single and with no kids it is cool to have other dog
owners tell me what a handsome dog he is.then when i tell
them he was a shelter dog they are blown away.So not knowing his true
birthday or age i decided to make his birthday (he will be 2yrs
old?) the same as mine which is the 4th of
JULY (i will be 47) also reflecting his new independence on his life, I
thought that was pretty cool in closing I wish you and your group GOD
SPEED and keep up the fantastic work you do Mike

Joy ? Here is a quick slideshow that shows how Logan has grown since March. He?s still doing really well and is a lot of fun. He loves to play fetch and Dan is teaching him to catch in the air now. He has really been a blessing since we lost our Hannah Bear in February. It?s funny how he has certain personality traits like each of our former dogs, Hannah (a Newfoundland/retriever mix) and Chelsea (a cocker/basset mix). He has Hannah?s retrieve gene and Chelsea?s independent, secure personality and moochie appetite. In any case, he?s a good one! I hope all is going well with your GARD rescue group. Keep up the good work. Woof, Lisa |

Hi, Joy, I thought you might enjoy seeing photos of little Coco, the little poodle we adopted 3 weeks ago for my aunt. Coco and my aunt are doing fine together. They were meant for one another!!! We have found a wonderful groomer for Coco, and vet. He was checked out by the vet right after he went to his new home, and all is well. Thank you again for helping us find Coco for my aunt. Sincerely, Ben |

Dear Joy, We can not thank you all enough for our new baby. While we may not be the most imaginative as we named her Georgia, she has already made both us and our 12 year old dog, Keera, smile. "What is my big dog doing??" is a constant concern. And today, as we have some unexpected sad news about how long we might have Keera with us, Miss. Georgia made us laugh. She's only been with us for like 48 hours and she's already saved us all. We are thrilled! So too are all of Georgia's new people. She has quite the fan club. Thank you for her!! Hope the rest of Tom's travels went well. Really, thank you for her. All the best,-Kathleen |

Adopted Polly year and half ago. She was one of the pups that was left in Macon at a hunting lodge with her mom and a few pups. Just wanted to give you an update of what she looks like now. She is wonderful. Thanks for bringing her in our life. |

Dear fellow
rescuers and transporters, I am passing along this message of thanks from Pearl's new family. They adore her and she is doing very well in her new home. Without your help, Pearl would never have found her way into the lives of these precious boys and this wonderful family. After three long days of transport, Pearl's life has blossomed into a joyful one and I am honored to have had a part in this. Thank you for all you do from my heart to yours. Kim Cook, Blue Sky Rescue of Minnesota, (Pearl's receiving rescue) ********Hi
Kim! I just wanted to pass along these photos to you and to tell you
how thankful we are that Pearl is a part of our family! She's such

Hi Joy: I just made a donation to GARD but I also wanted to give you an update on Kylah the sweet giant schnauzer. I think she rescued us more than we rescued her. She has been such a joy in our life. She had a pretty bad bladder infection when she got here but that's gone and she has lost a lot of weight with a new diet and that has helped with the arthritis pain... So attached are some pictures. She likes to strike a pose! And she loves her dolls (a monkey and a racoon). Her groomer lives across the road. Kylah gets to wander around our property on leash and visit neighbors and friends for treats and a haircut. But as you shared with us, she is pretty stubborn and she mostly likes to nap. So in honor of you as a mother of lots of dogs of all ages, breeds and sizes, Happy Mother's Day. And thank you for the gift of rescuing Kylah. God bless you. Best,
Cathy |

Hello,
Just wanted to drop a line and let you know how one little kitten you rescued is doing. Back in May of 2007, I answered a ad in a paper up here in Vermont. I picked up a little gray tiger cat from a house in Bristol Vermont. I do not remember the name of the women. She told me that her daughter ran a shelter down south in Georgia, and that she just brought back some kittens so she could find homes. I saw this little girl huddled in a corner of a cage and fell in love. Her name began as Sweety, then changed to Tweety Bird when we found that she may not be so sweet, and now it is just Bird. The Bird has definitely had her ups and downs. She fell out of a tree and broke her pelvis in January of 2008. Patched her up and I think she has more energy. She has been a wonderful addition to our family, and we look forward to many more years with our little Bird. Thank you for all the work you do The Martin Family |
