This is one of our dogs who went up north and stayed with a friend of ours. Her new mom could not go pick her up and our friend Cassie got her friends the pilots to give her a ride!!! We had Miss Madoo 2 years after we rescued her from a crack neighborhood in Garden city. She’s come a long way!!
Hi! Madoo is HOME! : ) She flew from PA to CT to meet her mom at the airport. Thank you so much Don and please thank your co-pilot for me! She was wonderful and Madoo wouldn’t be home if it weren’t for the two of you! I am so happy she is finally home! Madoo has been waiting two years for her forever family and now she is finally home where she will be loved and cared for by a wonderful couple. Cassie, thank you so much for putting me in touch with Linda! She is so sweet and put me in touch with Don who didn’t hesitate to offer his time/plane to help Madoo. I might have to learn to fly now! It looks amazing! Madoo was wonderful on the plane and looked out the window and then fell asleep over NJ. : ) Thank you so much for everything you all have done to help Madoo make it home. I miss her already! She is such a loving and affectionate dog. Thank you all for helping her! I’m so glad I was able to foster her and meet her and help her make it home. She was wonderful around my dogs and little sisters while I fostered her.

My daughter, Amy, has fostered quite a few dogs and lots of them she has brought over to show my husband and I. Of course they are all so cute and it’s always tempting to get another dog. (I had a mutt that was part cocker spaniel for 14 1/2 yrs. Abby was her name and she was the best dog ever. We had to put her down 4 yrs ago. What a loss that was.) Ever since then I wondered if there would be another.
So on a cold day in February Amy brought Rusty here to show us another of her fosters’. We went outside and played, wrestled and just had a great time. That night I went to bed and got just about zero sleep. I tossed and turned and imagined him outside working in the yard w/ me, going for walks, etc as my Abby had done. My reluctant husband agreed we’d “try” to see of he would work out. Well, here it is , July, and it’s the best choice I’ve made in a long time. My husband loves him too!!

Just wanted to give you an update on his progress. After we spoke, the vet gave him some fluids under his skin and he perked up in a few hours. He is now fully integrated into the family and is so loving. He gets along very well with the kids and they spoil him. He loves to play football (his squeaky) with one of my daughters, he follows my eldest where ever she goes. He has done very well and has adjusted to his home. I have had to experiment with his food, but I think we have found one he likes. Enjoy the pics.
Thanks

Hey Joy!!
Sorry I haven’t written earlier – I wanted to get some pictures of Blue (aka Banjo) to you. We’ve come to realize that when you live at the beach…..your summers are packed with guests :), so I haven’t had the time to get some really good pics of my 4 legged boys but I’ve attached what I’ve taken over the weeks with my phone. He is doing so great – just as if he was meant to become a Batiz member all along. My son and him are glued together (he calls him his “baby”) and Timber couldn’t be happier having a younger brother – the additional personality at home has been wonderful! It is time for me to have him neutered and I needed to talk with you about how to go about that. I had asked my vet a couple of weeks ago if there was a chance they would honor the neuter voucher and he said he would have to see – I guess speak with you and make an arrangement. If not, I need to get a recommendation from him on a close by clinic. If that’s the case should I get the voucher and then call them to set up the appointment or would you need to speak with them? Please just let me know and enjoy the pics! Have a great day!

Hi Joy,
Just wanted to give you an update on Mikey (Murphy), and he is doing wonderful. He is just a love and I have to say, out of all of our dogs, he is the best behaved and does whatever he’s told. He’s the first one to go outside and the first one back in. And he loves to go for rides!!
I recently had knee surgery and had to kennel our other three dogs for a week so that I could take it easy and we kept him with us. He stayed with me the whole time. He wouldn’t leave my side, not for a minute. And I now work from home and he stays with me in my office while I work.
In one of the pictures, he has taken a liking to one of our guinea pigs, Cocoa. He absolutely loves her!!! We have a three floor cage and usually rotate the pigs between floors, but we can’t move her, he’d be heartbroken!! He stares at her all the time and tries to give her kisses. I’m surprised at that, he’s a little stingy when it comes to giving kisses. He usually only gives them when we come home and he’s happy to see us. 🙂 She really likes him too. She was a rescue also, her previous owners kept her in their cellar for two years all alone. She has plenty of company with him now.
The other picture is Kita, Benny, Pablo and Mikey on the back porch hanging out. They all get along great and we’re so happy that we were on Petfinder the first night that we saw him and inquired about him. Thanks again.
Take care,
Carol
