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.

Dear JOY,Nikki, Wanda and all at GARD:
Attached are photos of our dog Abbey who we picked up in Connecticut exactly one month ago today. How grateful we are to all of you for rescuing this beautiful dog whom we absolutely LOVE. Our 6 cats treat her as though
she had been part of our family for years. She is such a JOY to have, and this is what you are all about – bringing JOY into the lives of these precious animals you rescue and into the lives of those who adopt them. May you be blessed into the eternities for this extraordinary work you do to improve the welfare of these wonderful pets who need the compassion and dedication that you provide.
With love and appreciation,
Paula and Alex, Littleton, Massachusetts

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

Joy,
Here we are just 2 weeks after having Buster join us in his forever home and he has created a special relationship with all of our kids (and us – he has chosen me to be the alpha leader!). But the most special bond is clearly with our 13 month old daughter. He is incredibly tolerant of her playing in his crate and playing fetch with him. I think the attached picture of her feeding him kibble from his bowl captures some of the magic between them.
We are so happy to have him as part of our family and he is blending in so well. I will continue to send updates but I thought that this might be something wonderful for your happy tails page.
Warmly,
Rebekah

Hi Joy…. Just wanted to let you know that B.J. & Cleo are doing GREAT!!!! Worf and Cleo have really bonded, and now that B.J. has gotten bigger and more active, the 3 of them go crazy in the yard playing keep away with balls, sticks and pine cones.
Rob and I are so happy we found your organization, and when the time comes will adopted again through you.

Hi Joy,
I wanted to let you know how Murphy is doing. We stopped at a Petco in Ct. and was able to have the little guy groomed Sat. night. We kept him seperated from our other dogs that first night so that he could relax and get used to his new surroundings. By the next morning, everyone was together. He adjusted really well and faster than we thought. He truly is a joy and a wonderful addition to our family. We have a male tiger cat that he absolutely loves and that tail goes a mile a minute whenever he sees him. He just gets right in there, he’s not shy at all. Thank you so much for letting us adopt such an angel. We’ll definately keep you posted on his progress.
Carol
