Another Happy Ending!

We have renamed Archie, “Trigger” and it just fits his bouncy personality perfectly. I take him on walks every day and he has so much energy he loves playing ball all the time with the family…In between catching the ball and bringing us all of my little sister’s stuffed animals, he loves to catch flies! He totally runs around the house for an hour or so a day trying to catch flies, and is even successful sometimes!…He sleeps at the foot of my bed every night and we snuggle in the morning.  Well, we snuggle for as long as I keep scratching him :)…He gets along great with my other dogs, and even plays with our hound, who is 4 times his size.  It is so funny to watch him put his little butt in the air then just bolt and my other dog chases him! They have fun together… I love coming home to him each night and every day my mom calls me to tell me the funny thing he did while I was at school! I love him and am blessed to have him.

Merry Christmas!

From Pound Puppy to Service Dog

Dresden, is standing proud in his Service Dog In Training vest. Not too long ago he was abandoned in a shelter just another unwanted dog waiting do be adopted or die depending on how crowed the shelter was that day.  Well, it was his lucky day because we saw him and snatched him up. Then his luck continued because his foster mom Alicia fell in love and decided to make him a permanent addition to her life. Now he is repaying her by becoming her service dog.

He is learning how to go with Alicia into stores, coffee houses, friends houses, and, his personal favorite, travel with her and stay in hotels. To be a service dog he must pass his Canine Good Citizenship test and learn two things that help his mom with her disability. He is learning to pick up her keys and other items she drops and to wake her up when he hears a smoke alarm or the clock alarm. Next he will be taught to open and close drawers, closets, and many other things.

We are very proud of Dresden and the work  he does. He is a shining example of what rescue dogs are capable of.

Two Old Gals Just Loving Each Other

Bella’s Story, by Anne

Bella

Last year (2010), I lost my 15-year-old Cocker Megan. I felt my life no longer had purpose, my son grown and living out of state.

In December, I found Bella! Bella is a special girl coming from a local Cocker Spaniel rescue. Bella is 12 years old and fills my days with smiles and joy. We live in a senior apartment complex where my neighbors all know her and always are met with a wiggle. Bella is totally deaf, but she knows my every move. When I go to take a nap or to bed at night, within a few minutes she moves to my bedside. She’s close to me all the time, she is with me at all time.

PURPOSE– is what she gives me, to take care of a senior dog. Not knowing what her life was like or why she was given up, make her that much more deserving of a permanent home with ME.

Two old gals just loving each other, me and my Bella.
