Samoa has found her forever home! She was so happy to meet her new "brother".  His name is Humphrey and he is a Corgi/Basenji mix. They play great together.  Samoa goes on several walks each day with him. They have a lovely yard to play in, with a doggie door to go in and out of during the day. Her new mom and dad had brand new raised food and water dishes, a new collar and leash, and a new bed waiting for her. She loved going up and down their stairs checking everything out! Samoa is just a reminder that good things happen to those that wait. Well, her "wait" is over. Good for you Samoa! "The dog that no one wanted" has her forever home!

***UPDATE FROM HER NEW FAMILY 8/8/10***

Samoa is doing great! It is like Humphrey and she have been best buddies forever, they play constantly and like to just be near each other. I am happy to report no problems, even during feeding time. She already knows her bowl, leash and her bed, although she does like to get up at some point during the night to snuggle (I think we will need a bigger bed for the four of us). She didn't even chew too much the first few days.

I took her to the vet and she is in great health. They claimed she is a corgi plus a whole lot of cuteness, which we agree with. She met my mom's two dogs and after a few minutes, the four of them were off playing in the yard. She prefers to bark on the side of the pool when people are in it and stand on the first step. She seems very curious about it though and kept putting her nose in. She has become a vocal little girl and has the cutest bark when people come to the front door.

Little puppy, Nugget, made it home to a great family! He will be loved and spoiled by his new owners, in his home near Lake Gregory.

Mitzi has found a great family who loves her very much. But don't take our word for it, here is an update from her new mommy;

Hi Jeanette,

Mitzi is doing great! I took her to the backyard earlier this evening and she could hear the dogs at the park and got very excited so I decided to take her to the park for a walk and a little social interaction with some small dogs.  She absolutely loved it!!  She was so happy and sniffed & sniffed and trotted and met with dogs one of who was a 5 year old male doxie named "Whiskey" who was also a rescue.

She is a sweetheart - thank you again for the wonderful work you are doing in rescuing these precious pets.

Hurray for Mitzi!!!

When Rudy was rescued, he was underweight and his hip bones stuck out of his little body. The shelter staff said it was as if he had just given up. He stopped eating, playing, and stopped being a puppy. The minute he was taken from his kennel and found a ball to play with, he turned into a different dog. Happy, playful, and full of life, it was evident that all Rudy needed was a new family and a new start.

When Rudy's new family first met him, he was exactly what they were hoping for. A happy, fun, and rambunctious puppy who loved to play and romp and who just made them smile. Rudy now lives with a wonderful family, all the toys he could ask for, and his very best doggy buddy. We know he's loved and couldn't have asked for a better happy ending!

Read the words straight from her new parents:

Nikki has a great life ahead of her in her new home!  Congratulations little girl!

When we first put Blossom in a foster home, it was clear that she was going to be difficult to adopt out.  While she was a sweet, cuddly little thing, she was extremely shy and traumatized from the shelter.  She did, in fact, turn out to be the last from the group to be adopted, but I think everyone can say that she's going to be just fine!
