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.

Olivia

We adopted Olivia in June. From the very beginning she was very sweet and loving and absolutely adorable. As she is growing up, she just gets cuter and cuter every day. She has so much energy and loves chasing her tail, playing in puddles, throwing her toys around, and just generally running around as fast as she can. In the 4 short weeks we have had her, she has already learned to sit, shake, give high-fives, and we are working on "lay down." She is very intelligent and absolutely loves every person (and dog) she meets. She instantly took to my husband and our friends and is housebroken already! She is everything we could have hoped for and more

When I adopted her, I was very impressed by the volunteers at AAR. I had never adopted a dog from a shelter before and was a little apprehensive because I had heard some horror stories. My fears were completely unfounded because the volunteers instantly put me at ease and you could just tell that everyone there loves every single animal there and wants nothing but the best for them. Adopting Olivia has been one of the best things for us and we are so thankful to the people who made that happen.

AAR We adopted Ollie from AAR today and wanted to give an update. He is doing GREAT in his new home. My husband and the kids adore him and so do our other two dogs. The gray dog in the picture with Ollie is Popcorn. They are best buds now and joined at the hip. Poppy had to come to PetSmart with us to get Ollie his collar and tag;he would not let us leave without him. I want to thank the staff for helping us find the perfect fit for our family today. You all were great and very patient with my kids and me, along with all the other crazy stuff going on. We really appreciate it. I have adopted many dogs from numerous places, but this was the best experience, hands down. Thanks again!

Foster (formerly known as Jada)

I saw a picture of Foster on petfinder.com and I instantly knew she was the right fit for me. After discussing the idea of adopting a dog with my boyfriend, we decided to cut our spring break short and and go meet the darling dog in the photo. I traveled 5 hours that day to meet this little black ball of joy we now call Foster! What a wonderful decision we made and she has brought so much joy to both of our lives and is unbelievable spoiled! She is living the college life here in College Station, TX and spends most of her days hanging out and going to the puppy park, playing with her toys and laying out on the balcony (she has to get her summer tan ;) ). She also loves to go see her friends at puppy school, and is an avid traveler! Not only is she a beautiful but she has brains too and has learned to sit, stand, lay down, shake, heel, and ring bells when she needs to potty! Her favorite foods are kibble, apples and peanut butter and she howls with joy when she sees the pantry
opening and the peanut butter jar coming out.

I was so impressed with the service and the incredible volunteers at AAR and the care they took of Foster checking in on her after her adoption and making sure that she was going to a loving forever home. I look on the website often and always recommend AAR to friends looking to adopt a pet.

Much Love,

Paige, Cameron & Foster
