She became queen of the castle!

Millie (formally known as Suzy) came into my life on a snowy weekend in 2007. She was shy, skinny and recovering from being treated for heartworm.  It took her a while to adjust to her new life and routine, but once she settled in she became queen of the castle!  She is such a sweetheart! She loves to walk, eat treats and hunt chipmunks at the cabin. Friends and family call her her Velcro because she likes to be right next to her people all the time. Millie is truthfully the best dog EVER! 

Double the love!

We adopted Carl(the one on the bottom and he is a mini Dachshund) and Claire(known as Faith, is a Dachshund mix,and in the middle) from Homeward bound when I was in middle school and high school and now I am in college and we couldn’t be happier with them. Oscar is the one on the top that we recently added. 
Carl didn’t have a name when we adopted him but he is a very relaxed and fun dog. We adopted him when he was a few months old and he is now about 6 years old and he is amazing dog. He even completed basic dog training and became a registered therapy dog!  My family and I just love him very much. He is very social and loves meeting other dogs and really enjoys kids, which is great considering his little size. He is just a very relaxed dog that can spend all day just being lazy and cuddling with you. He enjoys naps and going on short walks. He also just loves the summer weather. We just love Carl and wanted to say thank you!
We then later adopted Claire(known as Faith) She was thought to be a Dachshund mix. She is about 5 years old and is a wonderful dog. She took some time to come around but she really is one of a kind. She is very different from Carl but very funny. She is doing much better with meeting strangers and other dogs. She just loves car rides and going on really long walks. We just wanted to let you all know that they are doing great and we couldn’t imagine our lives without these guys.
Thanks!
Jocelyn,Nikki,Mark,Rodger,and Mariel

“She has a HUGE personality- is silly, loveable and even non-dog people seem to take to her.”

Just a quick update for you on Phoebe who was named Feebee when we were lucky enough to find her at Homeward Bound.  Phoebe’s story was not as sad as many of your rescue friends are, but she was surrendered as an 8 month old pup by a family who had a toddler and the combination was just not working out so well.

Phoebe is now 5 and she is the perfect match for our household.  She has a HUGE personality- is silly, loveable and even non-dog people seem to take to her.  She is the frequent photo subject for us- You can see how photogenic she is.

Love the update to the web site- keep up the good work.  Phoebe is friends with two other dogs who also came from your rescue- We appreciate the labor of love and work you all do.
In gratitude,
Jennifer
(adopted Memorial Weekend 2007)

“We hope she’s happy as she looks because we couldn’t be happier to have her with us!”

We adopted Delia (formerly Dusky) from Homeward Bound in August 2008.
She had been up for adoption for a very long time because she was
already a senior and has a very quiet nature. (Why do people always
want the bouncy, boisterous puppies? Don’t they know they can be just
as wired at 2 AM as they were at 2 PM?!)

We quickly learned that she would try to become invisible in chaotic
situations (like pet adoption events or anywhere with children) but
her sweet, intelligent personality would shine in a calm, quiet home
with a soft bed. Also, she needed extensive dental work leaving her
with only fourteen teeth but completely pain-free. That and treatment
for her arthritis have helped her relax and enjoy a life of good food,
good friends, car rides and shoulder massages.

We hope she’s happy as she looks because we couldn’t be happier to
have her with us.

AKA “Muffie”
Mufasa is just a cute old man looking for a great home to adore for him. He is about seven years old and he tends to walk around all day with his tong hanging out. We call him Muffy. With his short little legs he wants to jump onto your lap, but he can’t. So he stands on his hind legs and leans on your leg to say pick me up I want to be next to you. He loves to lay with you on the couch, in bed if you let him. He is just a little sweetie. He loves to follow you where you go. He just wants to be with you. If I go out side he is right behind me. He is kennel trained. At night he is in a dog bed next to our bed, but he would rather be in bed with you. He is so sweet and so cute. He gets along with everyone at our house, even the big dog we are babysitting. Our cat is mellow and there is no problem there. He is just a great little dog. This dog has been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested for heartworm and lyme disease. Email taffycandy890@embarqmail.com for more information.

Jewels has been in rescue for some time now and as sweet as she is we aren’t too sure why. The stress of rescue life has been weighing down on her and she has started to go through seizures when there is too much excitement. She is now on Phenobarbital (a very low costing daily medication to help prevent seizures) and she is doing better, but jewels has been waiting long enough and she is ready for her forever home. If you would like to meet Jewels or have any questions please email Sherri at sweeperjunkies@comcast.net.
