Aannie

Hi Kathy, She is doing great! She has been such a pleasure and seeks out the people in the house. She is so sweet and loves to cuddle. If Ace or Abby are sleeping somewhere, she will cuddle right up with them. We absolutely love her!

Allie

Remi (aka Allie) is doing great! She is a very sweet girl. We (my husband and I) just love her! (My other two dogs, a Maltese and Yorkie are not sure yet.) Everyone gets along but Remi, because she is a puppy, is a little rambunctious when wanting to play with them. She is a little to rough for their liking.

My brother and sister have bigger dogs and Remi loves to play with them!

She has been to her follow-up visit at River Bridge and also has seen my vet, she goes in another week for her additional shots. I am looking into training classes, although she is a good listener (she sits, comes, knows her name, walks on the leash) I want to give her every opportunity to be a great dog. Plus, I'm looking forward to strengthening our bond.

Thank you very much! I really believe that she is such a wonderful dog because of the loving care she received when she was being fostered! I think you guys are awesome!!!

Sincerely,
Amy Works

Angel

Angel, now renamed "Lady Darbi Fox Bussard of Montecito" or just Darbi, is doing wonderful. She is almost completely potty trained, with just a couple slip ups here and there. She is eating well and regulating her own feeding. She responds to multiple commands, sit, shake, down, and come. She took right to her leash for walks, and other than occasionally trying to walk herself (grabbing the leash and holding it while walking), she's been great since the first walk. She has a ton of toys so as to keep her from chewing on anything she shouldn't, but we just can't seem to keep her out of the decorative moss on one of our artificial trees... but we're sure that she'll figure it out.

Overall, she's been such a wonderful addition to our young family and we can't thank all of you enough for what you've done, giving us that little bundle of joy (and energy). You do some great work and not just for the animals. Please don't hesitate to contact us again, we don't mind bragging about her.

Thank you again,

Jayson

Andromeda

Andromeda is a great addition to our family. Our 4 year old kid actually changed her name to DUCHESS, which I think is more fitting as she acts like one all the time. She has so far doubled her weight, or more, since we got her a few weeks ago. We are working on potty training her and I think we are getting there, hopefully soon. She has improved on this a lot in the last couple of weeks. She is now cage trained. She was very shy when we first got her but now she has gotten over that and has become more playful. She is very loving and very smart. She has already learned to follow a few commands and we working on teaching her more. We decided to keep her inside the house all the time, taking her out only when we go for a walk or when she needs to do her business. She is still very picky with food. We have tried a few different ones and so far she seems to like the one we just got her a week ago. But we still have to sit with her and talk to her while she’s eating and until she finishes her food; otherwise, she’ll just leave without finishing it. But we are working on that. I have attached a couple of pictures of Duchess and a video of her and my daughter Isabella. We love her and we are happy of our decision to adopt her.

Ace

Kathy, Dunkin (Ace) is doing beautifully. We are so enamored with him -- it's wonderful. He is already at 21 pounds and thriving. We began dog training lessons with a great instructor who we heard about from Dr. Fox's office and Dunkin is responding well. He sits, stays and comes (for the most part) on command. The whole family is having fun working with him. He loves his crate and sleeps through the night from about 11-6:30 am without ever having and accident. He continues to pee occassionally during the daytime in the house (but I think this issue will resolve itself as we get more and more used to his schedule and he gets used to ours.) We believe he has begun trying to let us know when he needs to go out. He is just adorable, the sweetest dog and we couldn't be happier! Hope all is well. Thank you for the follow-up. Robin
