Cookie

My family and I adopted our dog Cookie from AAR in September of 2009. He is great with our cats, although he does like to chase them occasionally. He is just a wonderful dog, and a great addition to our family.

Thanks,

The Rocha Family

Beau

Beau had quite a lot to say about our car ride until we turned right down by the shopping center, then he became strangely silent. He dozed all the rest of the way home. Once in the house I put him in the bathroom with the intention of keeping him there a few days to acclimate. But to my surprise he escaped and explored the rest of the house immediately, finally sitting in the window growling at the birds and squirrels. The window and cat tree with string toys are his favorite places to be. But another thing he does just cracks me up. He'll run the length of the house, up and down the hallway as if something were after him, and then slide around the corners, his little paws looking for traction, and sliding till he gets his grip. He could be in a cartoon. He is getting lots of exercise. True to his name, Beauregard is master of the realm, the dogs properly defer to him. His most loving habit is when sitting or sleeping with me, he keeps one paw touching me most all of the time. Odd, because it is a habit of my own too.

Thank you so much for my sweet baby Beau. Dixie

Chopper

Chopper is doing GREAT! He is a happy boy that just wants to be with you. He wags his tail so hard (especially if hes getting a treat ) that I think he is going to knock his self over. He does something every day to make me laugh. He should be our inspiration that they ALL just need a chance and a little love and attention. Keep up the good work ya'll!

Happy Together

These are two cats that we adopted from AAR. Pixel (aka Lady) on the bottom was adopted in Dec. 08. Nano (aka Trixie) was adopted in Feb. 2010. If you can't tell from the contented look on Pixel's face, they are getting along very well.

Years of loving

We adopted Dharma (the orange and white spaniel) from AAR 6 years ago. We started off fostering her because she had seizures and needed special care. We thought we were just helping out until she found a forever home. Her loving and playful personality won our hearts, Kira's (the white lab) and Ezri's (the tan dobie mix) too; now, we are her forever home. Thanks to Rosehill Vet's wonderful care, she has been virtually seizure free for 5 years. Lillie, (the AmStaff mix) fostered with us during the holidays. As of this posting, she is awaiting her forever home at AAR. (Another AAR volunteer is Santa during the PetSmart Tomball Holiday photo shoot. Luna, the cat in inset, decided not to go to PetSmart.).

Angel Marie

I started volunteering at AAR in August and the first day I saw Angel, I told a friend of mine I loved her and had to have her. I already had several animals and made a promise to not take anymore animals home, that I was going to simply volunteer. Well time went by and I walked her in the Tomball Holiday Parade which pretty much sealed the deal. We were one, a perfect match and I just had to take the next step. I ended up adopting her and she and my other dog Pepper Ann are now best friends. She even loves cats. Imagine that, after being in a shelter for 2 years, she now sleeps with cats!!! She is an Angel and deserves nothing but the best. I am so happy to have her as part of my family and couldn't imagine it any other way!

Spencer

Hi my name is Debbie

We adopted Spencer last month (3/10); he was one of your wild boys. I wanted to give an update. Spencer has been having fun with his new family. He has actually grown taller. He now has two furry brothers: our cat Tyson (king of the house) and a little big brother named Bailey (a beagle). Spencer loves to play fetch with the people while Bailey watches. He collects sticks (well, really small trees) on our two walks each day. He doesn't even let a little rain stop the walks either. When he is not playing with the people, he rough houses with Bailey. I think that they have an understanding. They each take turns who is on top of the puppy pile. Watching them play is more entertaining then anything else. When Bailey has enough, they both just lay down for a rest or a nap. Unless Spencer is still full of energy, then he just picks up the rope ball and runs around the yard like he is in a race.

We have had to play extra tricks and make little puzzles for him since his mind is so active. We play games even during our down time. He helps me find things in the yard and dig in the dirt when I want to plant something.

Overall, he is happy, healthy and fun loving. He has fit into our crazy pack very nicely. :). If you want more updates let me know.

Thank you,
