Rosie going home

Rosie going home with her new family.

A 9/15/2010 letter from Rosie's family:

Dear Friends at AAR,

I just want you to know Rosie and Dennis were made for each other. They are great friends. Rosie's whole demeanor and countenance have changed. She runs (and runs) and plays. Thank you for all you do, all your efforts to give dogs and cats another chance at a pleasant life.

Someone abandoned Miracle the tiny blue eyed kitten in front of the shelter in a box on a Sunday. She was all alone and so tiny!!! I was called upon to foster her - she had only just opened her eyes. I named her Miracle because she loved romping with her collies from the time she first saw them. I had to take her away from the collies who adored her when they would get too rough and they would all cry to be back together again - Miracle cried the loudest! Finally I had to adopt Miracle and she has been with us for 5 years or more...?

She of course thinks she is a collie and goes with us on walks on my 2.5 acres, except she shows off by darting up and down trees and fences. She comes like a dog when you call her. She cleans her "mommy collie's" ears every day. She will sit on a end table and her mommy collie will sidle by and offer her ears. She always receives kisses from her baby Miracle.

FInally Miracle got her own boyfriend from AAR - Bubba the red cat. She still loves her collie family though! Thanks to AAR for all they do!

Jackie Chin

We were told AAR had a Japanese Chin puppy for adoption. I don't know who loved the other one more at first sight.

He has been a wonderful addition to the family and if truth be told I think he knows it. He goes by Jackie but I like to call him "Lucky Dog".

He is playful, lovable and is really great with pets. Did I say spoiled??

Choco the lab

First we wanted to adopt a dog named Bear, but when we got to AAR he already was taken.
But my grandma was telling them why she wanted this dog and they said they had the perfect dog for her. Well out came Choco with his wagging tail. It was love at first site! He loves to go to the dog park and loves his new doggy friends! We never thought of getting a lab at all till he came out. He is a chocolate lab mix. We kept his name because he knows his name. We are so glad we actually thought of getting another dog! He is a great family pet! He is also the clown of the family! He thinks he is a lap dog. He will jump into your lap and it is so funny. We are trying to teach him shake. Sometimes he will get too hyper but we still love him!

Charlie and Lola

Charlie (aka Jose) and Lola have been precious additions to our family. They are making our lives - and our chair - so much fuller! Thank you AAR for taking care of them until we could find them.

Lola and Charlie J

AAR,
Lola and Charlie J (previously Jose) are fitting in wonderfully at our house. They have been preciously sweet with the kids. There was concern that Jose would be very timid when we first met him because that was how he had been at the shelter. It turns out that he only needed Lola. When they are apart, they are much more timid and cautious. When they are together, get ready and watch out!! They play like crazy, and I have never seen two dogs actually lay on each other to rest. We are so glad we were able to bring them both home so they could stay together.

Thanks for all you do!
Charlie, Lola and the Halliburtons

Our Lucy

I just wanted to send some pictures of our Lucy. We brought her home approaching 2 months ago and she's just a wonderful addition to our family! I've attached some pictures of her, first with our cats, second digging in her toy basket before spreading all toys out to play with at her leisure (they never stay in the basket long) and finally helping mom on the computer! She's very loved and very happy, we're also about to start doggie school to perfect her manners and potty training.
