BRONSON AND LAURA

Peanut (Milo)

PeanutMy two boys absolutely love him and are so happy he’s here and they keep
saying we got the ‘perfect dog’.  I knew he’d be great and he’s won my
wife’s heart over as well (she hasn’t had great dog experiences in the
past).  We’re very happy and so is Milo.

Little Man (Gus)

This is Little Man (now known as Gus). He spent the first year of his life tied to a tree..now his life truly begins.  He was adopted by a lady in Massachusetts.
Gus_Lobster_1208v1littlemanHi Joy,
Hope you enjoyed the holidays! I have been meaning to send you some updated pictures of Gus (formerly known as Little Man). He is doing really great and I am madly in love with him! Since being here he has filled out and I think over time has lost all his old coat and it has filled in with a New England winter version. It has been bitterly cold here for the past few weeks but the weather does not seem to phase him and he LOVES the snow which we have gotten more than our fair share of in the past few weeks. There is probably over a foot on the ground now and he bounds through, rolls in it, digs — loves it. Actually he seems to love everything. He wakes up so happy and snuggly, rolling around in blankets and pillows. He is making up for lost time in the running department as well — loves to run — and he is as fast as a jack rabbit. As a result of all the exercise he is solid muscle and looks so great. Has tons of friends, all shapes and sizes, his best is Bosun, a Cairn terrier who he spends time with everyday. They are like 2 peas in a pod. There is also Marley the Golden down the street, Otis the sheltie, and of course, his girlfriend, Bella the Yorkie. I can’t tell you how much he means to me. Can’t imagine life without him. Just a sweetheart in every way. He is getting more comfortable and trusting of humans as well — even a few men.  He has breakthroughs everyday. I have attached some pictures I took during the holidays (my favorites are the ones with the lobsters — they were Xmas Eve dinner). He was initially puzzled with the concept of bringing a tree in the house and but was thrilled when Santa brought him toys and treats for being such a good boy! Love, love, love him! Thanks so much and all the best in 09!
Take care,
Kristen

My other rescued mastiff and her play all the time together. I will send pictures, of course I have lots of pictures.  Hope all is well! Rose

Scarlett

scarletJust thought I would update you on our three legged angel.  We changed her name to Scarlet.  She is doing great.  She is so well behaved that she gets to go to work with mommy from time to time.  Everyone falls instantly in love with her. She is the sweetest little pooch I have ever known. She loves to cuddle up on the couch and in bed.  She is truely a gift.  Thank you so much.

Wags

wagsThese are pictures of our first meeting with Wags (now Ruby) in New York.  Our 6 month old Caroline loves her new sister!  They are getting along great.   She is a great new addition to the family.  We think she likes the north but we keep warning her about the winter!  Thanks for everything you do there at GARD.  We couldn’t be happier!

Love,
The Sullivans!

Gladyce

gladyceJust sending you an update.. She is perfect!!! No accidents at all. I gated her in the kitchen last night but all she was doing before I put the gate up was laying in her bed anyway.. As soon as I put her new bed down she knew it was for her. She went to the bathroom outside when we got home. Then when we got up… And then again a few hours later on her walk.. She is so calm and relaxed and it doesn’t even bother her when the baby cries a little. She isn’t the least bit interested in any toys which is a good thing because she doesn’t even care when the baby is playing with her toys.. Here is a picture of her in her new bed… Oh yea and we did change her name to Jewels, we think it suits her better.. Thank you so much this is the exact dog we  were looking for.. She fits us to a T.

Jen

Aussie Puppy

Hello, to those who volunteer for GARD, our family would like to send our deepest Thanks to you all!!! We recently adopted one of yuor puppes… the black and white Aussie mix puppy, she is doing great. House training has been phenomenal and she is great with our children.!! We will send pics to add to your happy tails soon!! Again Thank you all from our family to yours!!! Danielle & Mike Bird

Bo

Hows Bo doing?  Well, he is VERY loved at our house.  Sometimes I think his fur is going to be rubbed off, hes loved so much.  He has mastered the stairs at our house, which is good because we live in a raised cottage and weve introduced him to the water.  He really has taken to it.  We have a little doggie ladder (basically a gradual step ladder) that lets Kelly sits on in the water and Bo walks down to him.  Yesterday we took him to Ossabaw and he just ran and played.  He was so wiped out in the evening, but is back to his same old self today.  Ive been doing a lot of reading, so were slowly training him  – or maybe he is training us.  Either way, again we are so very happy to have adopted him!  He is very good with children and other dogs.  Great personality.
