Beau

We adopted Beau from AAR at Petco in Tomball August 13th. We saw him when we came in that afternoon, and I knew it was fate that we would keep him, but it took us a few hours to decide if we wanted to add another dog to our family.

Beaureguard is the name my dad made my mom give one of our kittens as kids in exchange for letting us keep him, and he still has the cat to this day, my sister adopted a cat name Beau a few years ago, and when I saw this dog's name I knew he was meant for me.

We have a 5 year old Corgi mix, and 2 kittens that are about 9 months old already. When Beau came home with us that day he fit in with our family perfectly. Mya our other dog just adored him from day one, and she has been acting like a young pup again now that she has another dog to run around the yard and play with.

Beaux loves rawhide bones and playing fetch with a tennis ball; he even taught our Mya how to chew on bones.

Jack loves his new home!!!

I adopted Jack on July 1st and love him so much!! He is growing very fast; he is already 16 lbs at 3 months old :) He loves to play in the sprinkler whenever he gets the chance. He is a very happy puppy who loves to visit with people especially little kids. He is doing so well at home with his training! He is also a big talker! He loves to say hello when I first come home and makes sure that everybody knows when he wants to be the center of attention which is often :) He loves to play with his stuffed animal toys or enjoy any type of chewy treat! I am so happy that I found Jack and am so thankful for all the fosters who took such great care of him before he became my new love! Thanks AAR!!!!!

Dazey

I volunteered at the AAR with my best friends church. My grandma (BJ) had been volunteering already, so I asked her if I could start volunteering there with her. The next day, I was outside walking dogs on leads, when I saw one I had recognized (Dazey). I said to myself, "oh, that's Dazey." I went over to her as she was barking. When I took her out to play, I absolutely fell in love with her! I put her inside, and heard that she was heartworm positive. My heart was wripped into shreds. I loved her to death. I began coming to the AAR almost everyday (she was getting worse), because I was scared that I wouldn't get to say good - bye. I had to stay home after having surgery, and I was very sad, I didn't know what was going to happen with Dazey. That day, Dazey was very down, and depressed. Everyone thought that she was very sick. My grandma told them, "It's because Maddie's not here." The next when I came, she was fine and up and her normal crazy self! Months later (Dazey had recovered
from heartworm), I was inside doing homework. I couldn't find my mom, so I checked outside. There was a big white puff of bouncy curls. I stepped back for a second. I said "Am I dreaming, like seriously, this doesn't feel real." I was really serious though! She's has been in our family for seven months now, and she fits right in! I am very proud to have given her a reason to stay strong, and to live through her horrible heartworm. I will never, ever forget that I changed her life... and she changed mine.
Thank you AAR!
