Lexus adopted in December 2006

She has settled in very well and is another member of the family!  Her ribs are starting to disappear as she puts on weight.  I look forward to our morning walks and I know she likes them too.  She won’t eat or potty until we’ve gone – too cute. As you can see by the pictures, the kids love her and she loves them.  I bought her a bed, but she prefers sleeping with them or us (we leave it up to her) in the big beds.  And getting the kids up in the morning is now a piece of cake.  I just tell Lexi to “go get your kids” and she zips up the stairs to wake them up.  We have a lot less crying in the morning now and it’s nice.  After school, everyone plays with Lexi.  Last Friday, they played so hard with her that she actually got in her bed at 8:00 and shot me a look that said, “I love you, but I’m done for the day,” and went right to sleep.  She is a sweet, smart, loving Boxer.

We couldn’t have chosen a better boxer to join our family.  Thanks for your help! ~Susan

 

Zoey adopted in November 2006

As you can see Louie and Zoey are getting along great.  They share their food, toys, blanket and dog bones, but each wants their own attention which they get plenty of.

 

Mikey (now Harley) Adopted November 2006

Harley was spoiled at Christmas! look at all those toys!

Thank you so much for bringing us together.  Mikey got home and checked every nook and cranny in the house - he even looked under the bed.  He then toured the back yard.  Afterwards he was ready to settle in and snuggle.  
Craig took him for a nice walk before bed; he did really good.  I got him two dog beds and a cuddly blanket.  He even found a stuffed toy someone gave us when our other dog passed away. He dragged it out to his blanket to snuggle. I put his new bed next to ours and I climbed into bed.  He then jumped right into bed with us.  He slept between us and was content as could be.  It was such fun to wake up in the morning to wonderful snuggles.  
We are so in love with Mikey and we feel so blessed.  Our home is now complete.
Thank you - he is such a joy!
Craig and Lynn

Grandma Adopted September 2006

I'm emailing a few pics of a senior boxer "Grandma" she is aprox 10 yrs old and was about to go to be euthanized while I was standing there talking to a staff member at the shelter. So I asked her to give me some time to make a couple of calls....and I received a call back from an angel by the name of Teresa who has "Modjeska Ranch Rescue". Teresa offered to foster "Grandma" for the rest of her life and to donate the funds for her surgery to remove the LARGE tumor. The surgery will be preformed this week at the vets office where Teresa works

Aly (was Precious) Adopted July 15th, 2006

**pictures coming soon**

Just thought that I would drop you a note to let you know that things are going really well with Precious!!  We are calling her Aly as there was already a dog in the neighborhood named Precious.  Aly has been very mellow most of the time, and has really enjoyed playing outside.  Things have actually been going so well, I keep waiting for the "other shoe to drop", which hasn't so far. She has seen the cats, but hasn't tried to eat them, and they haven't tried to claw her, so I consider that successful.  We will betaking her to dog obedience class at Sunday. ~Cheryl
