Booda

We adopted Gypsy Rose (formerly known as Booda) the week of Thanksgiving.
She is a "full figured" girl weighing in at 20 lbs. and was thought to be a little on the lazy side. The pictures below were taken just days after she joined our family and there is nothing lazy about this girl! As you can see she loves to play with her purple feather mouse and you should see her climb the stairs! With all
of this exercise she has even dropped a few pounds, She greets us at the door
when we come home and moves from room to room at night making sure we
are all tucked in and where we are suppose to be. Thank you for the gift of this
great addition to our family! She is loved!

The Storrs Family

Spike (formerly Madge)

Shady, my Jack Russel pup, needed a rough and tumble little buddy. Spike, formerly known as Madge, fits the bill. The girls patrol the yard and barn, run hard, and wrestle until both are pooped and then nap until round number next.

Spike fits right in!

Bo aka Willie

Willie became Bo as soon as I left the shelter!!! Just one week before I adopted Bo (Willie) I got a doberman puppy I named Bella. Bella was lonesome so when I heard about Bo (Willie), I knew he would be a wonderful companion for Bella. As in the pictures posted, Bo and Bella are learning to sit for their treats...Bo (Willie) is doing better this week he usually just wants to jump up and down for his treat but watching Bella he realizes she gets hers first because she is sitting pretty.
The other pic: they are snuggled up after a fun day of playing. Thanks to AAR for bringing Bo (Willie) into my and Bella's home...They will have a wonderful time growing up as sister and brother.

Feliz and Bella

We adopted both Feliz and Bella from AAR, about a year ago now, and we could not be happier!

From the start, Feliz, (the pit bull terrier), has been the most affectionate, sweetest dog. She loves everyone she meets, and always has a 'smile' on her face. :)

Bella is the Border Collie/Lab mix, and is a very goofy girl. She is extremely shy, and still not very good with strangers, but she has come such a long way in the last year. It took her some time to trust us, but she is now very affectionate, sweet, and loyal with us. Feliz has been great 'big sister', in showing her how to be more outgoing and trusting.

We love both of our girls! Thank you AAR for helping us find each other! :)

Trista (formerly called Lena)

Trista has been the perfect addition to complete my happy family. It has been two weeks since the kind people of AAR allowed me to take Trista home. She is the perfect playmate for her new brother, Barry, my 5 year old lab mix.

Maggie May (Formerly Demi)

I would like to thank all of the volunteers at AAR for allowing us to take home Maggie. As you can see from the photo's she is fitting right in. She is just about house broken and almost doubled in size over the past month. Maggie is enjoying the back yard a great deal, likes pulling me around the neighborhood and has my 10 year old beagle doing laps aroung the yard. Thanks again.
