Bogey

We learned through a friend who fosters that a Schnauzer mix was coming in the next transport from Missouri. From the first picture I saw of "Prince Pewter" I knew he was our dog. We picked him up on January 14th, 2011 and knew instantly he belonged in our family. I knew there was a beautiful little pure bred Miniature Schnauzer under all of that hair! He just had his first grooming and is more adorable than ever. He is the sweetest boy, loves his family, and his canine neighbors. He loves to run and bark and play and seems to have gained lots of self-esteem along with his proper haircut. We couldn't have found a better companion if we tried!

Skateboarding Buddies

Attached are some recent photos of Nena that we took. She is so well-adjusted, and we are just thrilled to have her! She loves going on long walks to the park, and you'll see from the photos that she and my husband are skateboard buddies. We can't imagine not having her, so thank you for rescuing her so that she could be part of our family!

Our new puppy Jake

We have been wanting to adopt a puppy for quiet some time. We had concerns that our 12 yr old Rottie Sniper would not accept another dog in the house.Even though we knew Sniper was not aggressive towards other dogs, it's much different when the dog is on his turf. We didnt want to find a puppy, fall in love with it and then have to bring it back because it didn't work out. So needless to say we were very hesitant. My husband and I would often search petfinder just to look and think oh that one is so cute, or how about this one and then realize myabe it's not the right time. Puppies need a lot of time, devotion and attention which also added to the mix of thought. We started talking more and more about getting a puppy. My kids were grown and old enough to help and my husband retired. It was now falling into place. One night with time on my hands, I searched pet finder. I came across the cutest puppy. A 9 week old Mastiff mix, So I decided to fill out the application. I told m
y daughters and my husband what I did. We were all very excited, I told them not to get there hopes up just yet. We still had to be approved and we still had our Rottie to consider. Not long after that we got a call from Evelyn. We were told to the puppy was ours if we wanted it. Thanksgiving weekend we jumped in the car to meet the puppy. We all fell in love. At the store Sniper didn't seem to care much about the puppy. But we werent home yet so all of that could change. We decided to go for it and I'm glad we did. We named him Jake after my husbands best friend who passed away suddenly this past summer. He has brought so much life, love and laughter into our home. My husband and Sniper have a new best friend. We love him so much. He is perfect for us. Sniper and Jake have certainly bonded. Jake follows him everywhere. Even though Jake gets on his nerves at times, they really are very good together. Thank you Castle of Dreams for bringing Jake to us.
