Pee Wee was rescued from a high kill shelter. We suspect that he was abused by a man, because he would get very scared and bark when a man would walk near him. This made him a very difficult dog to place. We brought him to a dog trainer to help him deal with his trust issues. Shortly after he graduated from his obedience class, after being with us for 1 year, the perfect family met him at Petsmart in Marietta. A couple of weeks later they made it official and he was a permanent member of their family!

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…
Little Lexi found a family to fit into. She gets a new dad and sister plus a furry brother named Sebastian. She claimed a spot in her sis’s lap immediately and grabbed onto her arm as if to say – “I’m going wherever you are!” Congratulations to all!
