Sometimes adoptions don’t work out and we treat those as opportunities to learn more about the animals. Reason found life with a house full of kids too frenetic so came back into our program. This time the timid guy will have just one teen brother to hang out with so should fit right in. Thank you for welcoming this sweet guy into your home!

Gidget’s gone home! Looks like Dad’s outnumbered by the feminine persuasion in this household. I can think of worse things. 🙂 Enjoy life with your new family, puppy. Thank you for adopting!
We adopted Buddy from ya’ll back in ’07 and he’s still with us, sort of our “elder statesman.” Thanks for helping my boys fall in love with dogs. Jon has his own dog now, Paisley, named after Brad Paisley, half border collie and half black lab, and Caleb has Duke the Puppy, half German Shepherd and half Siberian…
