Tess

We looked for months for the perfect companion for our Dane mix boy, Doodle. We met many candidates, but when Tess came to visit, we knew she was the one. Tess and Doodle hit it off immediately, and they haven't stopped playing since!! We are grateful to Castle of Dreams for facilitating our adoption, and to Jen, the foster Mom for being so nice and helpful!!

Darling Darla

My son died on June 16, 2011 and our house was always so sad. I cried every morning and every night. Last month I prayed to my son to help ease my pain.I got an urge to get a puppy, something I never really thought of before, but the urge became overwhelming. My husband was against getting a dog. My family pleaded with him to get my daughter and I a puppy. The next day, without me knowing, he went to the aspca. I happen to be out with friends and I called my husband. I heard all this barking in the background, but he did not find a dog. My neighbors father died, Charles Petty, and my husband was reading his obiturary to find out where the wake was being held. He noticed when reading the obiturary that donations were to be sent to Castle of Dreams, rescue shelter. He went to the web sight and found our little Darla. Something came over my husband and he got excited about getting a puppy. We filled out the adoption papers and Darla's Foster mom called us. We went and got
our puppy 2 weeks ago. We asked her foster mom when she was born. We know my son sent us Darla, she was born the day he died. We still have tears in our house, but there is also laughter. She has brought us so much healing and joy and I know a part of my sons spirit is in her. Thank you Castle of Dreams for giving us our beautiful puppy. We are one big happy family. I framed a picture for my neighbors mother, so that a part of Charles Petty is with her also.

Thank You!!!

I adopted "Duke"....Now "Gunner".....the end of July. He was from a litter of 8, that came up from Missouri.. He is doing wonderful, and we love him sooooo much! I would love to have contact with the other families that adopted these pups! He was originally thought to be Boxer/Lab....but we got the Vet info from Missouri... and he's Mastiff Mix. Doesn't matter......we love him!!! Thanks again "Castle of Dreams!" This is Gunner.....just turned 4 months! :)

RUBY

(Formerly Princess Pepper)

We adopted this sweet little girl in April. Castle of Dreams rescued her from a kill shelter in Missouri. She has settled in nicely and is now part of our family. My son loves to hug and kiss her. He named her Ruby. She loves to go for walks every day!

The Love of My Life

Last year I adopted Hope. When I first saw her I thought she was the cutest little thing ever! She was in a gas shelter in North Carolina, in which CODAR pulled her from. After adopting Hope, she really opened up my eyes to what is really going on out there, and the abuse these innocent animals go through. Since then, I have become very active with helping and rescuing dogs, doing all I can to help and spread the word. I am now a foster, which I love! Thank you again for doing all you can do to help these beautiful animal! Hope is my world and I couldn't ask for anything more!

DAKOTA

After the loss of our Lab mix Jetty, their was some division in our house whether or not to get another dog. Jetty was a perfect dog and we feared that we couldn't get lucky twice. Finding Castle of Dreams was our best luck yet. Lightning has struck twice with Dakota and we are grateful to CODAR.

Sincerely,

The Tyler Family
