Travis the Pointer

June marks Travis's 4th year in his forever home. He has learned many tricks and continues to be interested in learning more. He has become quite the hunter. He is an excellent indoor dog, and has learned to walk on a loose leash. I am so pleased and blessed to have such a wonderful dog. He enjoys riding in the car, running along side my bike, long walks, swimming, visiting neighbors, hunting, and playing with his toys. In my first year owning Travis he helped save my neighbor. It was a cold winter day and I was working in my garage, Travis started barking and seemed agitated. Was my music too loud, was he annoyed I was working, was he cold, all these things went through my mind wondering what was up and why he was barking. I finally got down off the ladder, turned the music down and still he barked, I went out on to the driveway and I faintly heard a whistle blowing, then it hit me, my elderly neighbor has a whistle, I ran to see if she was okay, she wasn't, she had fallen and couldn't get up, she had slipped on wet plastic trying to cover her plants from the expected freeze. She was wet from the light rain and cold. Travis could hear her faint whistle over the music and partially closed garage door and knew she was in trouble. If it wasn't for Travis I might have never known my neighbor had fallen. They now have a strong bond, I can never pass her driveway without Travis wanting to go see her, he is very gentle with her and sits so she can pet him. He knows she is frail, he usually sits on her feet when she is standing as if to anchor her so just doesn't fall. He has claimed her as his and I know he will protect her. Travis is not a nuisance barker, but he has his ways of alerting me when something is not right.

Timber the Bull-Lab

Thanks Pet Rescue by Judy.... you guys are great! We adopted Timber just before the new year and couldn’t be happier. He is very gentle, loving and smart. He learns quick...we have taught him to beg, lay down, shake, sit, come, and the best is ..walk on a treadmill without a leash. It seems he will do just about anything for a little peanut butter as incentive. He has had some challenges: he gets car sick, is overly excitable around other dogs, jumps on people greeting him and has a bit of separation anxiety but we are working on all of these and he is improving every day. He loves going to doggy day care on our long work days and can’t get enough of chasing lizards and squirrels in the backyard. We are easing him into getting into the pool and swimming with us...can’t wait till summer. I have attached a few pics of Timber at home. -Yours truly, Rob and Laura

Teddy the Kitten

Just wanted to let you know Charlie and Teddy arrived this Thursday (after our trip.) After many hours of exploring, they seem to be settling in well. It was a good call to adopt the two because they do everything together! They are really fun and seem very well behaved. Thanks for all you do,

Tuck the Lab Puppy

It's is not the best picture of him and Libby but this is how they are after playing for hours. He is such a sweet boy. He loves to pick on Libby and they are the best of friends. He is only in his crate at night. Gets up early (4:30 am) then both Libby and Tucker lay on the love seat until the adults get up for work. He is a very smart little boy but I am not too sure he is going to stay little. Thank you for trusting us with him he is one happy dog and is loved very much. I will try to get better pictures of him and send to you.
