Sam's checking in!

Hello friends!
I came to my forever home in February just 6 months ago. Seems like forever 'cause my forever family is just wonderful. My BFF's here (all 5 of them) are the best. There is a picture attached of me with my BFF Pepper. He and I are so busy being busy everyday we have to take a break to eat! I am one lean and handsome fellow. My mom says I am doing fine and she has never seen anyone sweeter, she is always kissing me and petting me. We talked and she said she wants to put a plaque in the lobby of the new building in my name. How cool would that be!

I run and play, I have special places to rest and nap. I have good family, food and love.
Life is good and I am happy.

Wishing you happiness too,

Sammy Sam Patterson

"Timmy" now Chance

We adopted Chance one week ago today! We already have a female German Shepard and we thought she really needed a friend. He immediately stole everyone's heart especially our female Sadey!! She loves going for car rides but is hesitant now because she doesn't want to leave Chance! He is the perfect addition to our home, we couldn't be any happier!

Wesley

A couple weeks ago, we adopted a handsome little charmer named Wheeler. Since, his gimpy ear has perked right up and we've renamed him to Wesley!

He came with a full package deal: microchipped, neutered, and ignorant.
He went from not knowing how to use stairs to knowing his name and "no" within his first 24 hours. He reacts really positively to praise (which works so well in our favor >:)) and therefore, has stopped going potty in the house and knows exactly what to do if he needs to go out. At only three months, he loves to play fetch! He's a big ol' lover boy with some hardcore playing! I've never met a more well-behaved puppy (but then again, I may be biased..) We can't wait to let this natural born swimmer use his webbed paws!! He is saturated with love and affection!

Thanks for the help in finding a wonderful friend,
The Two of Us

Murphy

I adopted Murphy (formerly Maxwell) in November of last year. He has been fun, entertaining and a handful. He knows most commands such as sit, shake, stay, and drop it. He is so full of energy. I couldn't have picked a better dog to make part of my family.

More pics of Camber and Murphy

Too many pics for one submission!

Camber and Murphy

We adopted Camber (AKA Monte) in December. I cannot tell you how happy he made our family from the first day. It wasn't until June, when I was reading the monthly newsletter, that I realized that his brother, Murphy was still at the shelter. I knew we had to go get him!! After about the first 15 minutes of a very chaotic reunion, they were best buds. They are both sweet,smart and fun. I did not think there would be another dog that loved to pool as much as Camber, but Murphy does. These two are full of energy and never fail to entertain us. The only time they are separated is at night. Camber sleeps with one of my sons and Murphy with the other. They are too big to both be in one bed :)

Yogi

We adopted Yogi on Friday the 13th of July! He weighed 66 pounds, down more than 15 pounds from the beginning of the year when he was found at Yogi Bear Camp ground. We put him on puppy food and he is filling out beautifully. The vet says he is about 18 months old. We have also discovered that he is a Plott hound, which is one of the coon hound breeds. Yogi now has 2 1/2 acres to run and play and fetch his ball, and squirrels to tree. He is smart and sweet and lovable.
