Coco

Hi Joy!

We thought you might like this latest picture of Coco (crippled little toy poodle adopted May 6, 2009) and a Christmas stuffed toy, Santa Paws. Coco has bonded to me quite easily and we love each other dearly.  He is right here now by my chair as I type, telling me he is ready for “beddie bye” so I will put him in “our” (his and mine)  bed.   He is so sweet.  He goes for grooming every six weeks and loves the ladies at the grooming salon but it breaks both of our hearts when I have to leave him.  The owner always lets me pick him up in two hours, less than the usual time for pickup.  She understands our attachment.

Thanks again Joy for suggesting Coco to my nephew, Ben Gill, to adopt for me.  Couldn’t have been a better choice.

My best to you and all the “little people” at the shelter.  God Bless all of you!

Fran H. and Coco

Dear Joy,

Thank you so much for the joy that Heidi has already brought to our family. It’s only been 2 days but she feels like she’s always been a part of our family.  She is super, super sweet and such a good listener.  She’s pretty well trained for such a young dog.  She’s been sleeping in a bed on our floor and has had no accidents and when I take her out to the bathroom she stays right by my side.  She is very loyal and seems grateful for a loving home too!  Today she is going for her spay and then a grooming at the end of the week.  Thank you for what the wonderful job you are doing to get these pets loving homes.  We love her.

Bandit (Fitzy)

Hi Joy and Tom,

I wanted thank you both for all your help bringing Fitzy (formally known as Bandit) into our family. Fitzy a 5 month year old Schnoodle we adopted about 2 months ago is doing just wonderful. He loves to play and meet the other dogs in our neighborhood. He is the talk of the town and charms everyone he meets. He is so cute its sometimes hard to walk him because everyone wants to say hello but don’t worry he loves the attention! Here is a picture of Fitzy on Halloween dressed as a Bumble Bee. Thanks for all your help and for everything you do!

Navi

Sep 24, 2014 | Happy Tails

Hi, my name is Sandy, and I’m emailing you to give you an update on the border collie puppy I adopted October 3, 2009. I went to pick her up an hr drive from my house, with my dad and boyfriend, and when I saw her, I fell in love. I named her Navi, prounounced (nah ve). I named her after a fairy from one of the Zelda video games because its most commonly used phrase is “hey, listen” and that is what the little puppy does. She is doing very good and has gone from 9.8lbs to 18lbs. She’s still a baby though, and some mornings decides that she still wants to be carried down the stairs. She’s teething, so she’s been chewing everything, but other then that, she’s doing great. Navi is pretty much house trained, she’ll only have an accident if its really raining outside cause she doesn’t like to get wet, or even go out when its raining even though I hold the umbrella over her, not me. I figure its something that she’ll get better with in time. She now sleeps through the night without the need of a mid-night potty break. Navi loves toys that squeak and is starting to learn the names of her toys, she has a squeaky toy turtle that I told her to get today and she ran to the turtle, grabbed it and got half way back to me before she got distracted. I can’t tell you how happy I am, and her training will only get easier the more I work with it, and when she’s done teething, which the vet said should be soon. Enclosed is a picture of her outside 5 days after she came home. Thanks for bringing this little nut into my life.
