Happy Ending for Lincoln (Formerly Ajax, Adopted 11/2013)

Update Received March 2015:  Lincoln became part of our family in November 2013 as a 3 month old puppy. He had huge paws and everyone warned us he’d be a big dog. A year and a half later Link has grown into a very handsome (and tall) dog. Link loves sleeping and cuddling, though he hogs most of the couch and bed. His favorite activities include chasing other dogs at the park and catching ice cubes. We always get compliments on how beautiful Link is and questions about his breed. We would love to see more pictures of his siblings as we were told he’s the youngest in a liter of 9. 

Update Received March 2015: It's been almost a year since we adopted Morris/Murray, and just wanted to let you know he has been doing great.  After the initial shyness, he has really come into his personality.  Loves his walks, bones, racing around the house, and chasing the cats.  We really love that he is protective and interested in our new son,  who is 2 months old. Hope all is well at that there have been many more adoptions in the past year.

Happy Ending for Jagger (formerly MacDonald, adopted 5/2014)

Update Received March 2015:  Hi All Dog team - I just saw a picture on Facebook of Jagger's brother and wanted to give you an update on our guy. Jagger has brought so much energy to our house - he is 80 pounds of puppy fun. He loves our three kids and goes out to the deck every day to wait for the bus so he can greet them. He enjoys being outside and is a pro at finding his tennis ball. We have had him just under a year now and he has taken us on an amazing adventure. He is very loved by his family.  Thank you so much for the work you do!!

Another Double Happy Ending - Jane (adopted 5/2014) and Joey (formerly Rocky, adopted 8/2014)

Update Received March 2015:  Thought it was time I gave you an update on how two of your wonderful dogs are doing in their forever home.  In May of 2014 I adopted Jane from your group,  to be followed by Joey in August. Both of them are doing great!

Joey is such a joy -- he still has some issues with his defecation...but it's really easily managed by very regular food amounts and schedules.  He also seems to have some residual pain in his back end that surfaces from time to time.  I had him in to the vet for a complete checkup and he believes that it's just age and probably some nerve damage  -- nothing that requires any major treatment other than managing the pain.  It's very easy for me to tell when Joey is having a bad day so I now have medication to give him on an as needed basis and it's working very well.  We also did a complete blood workup on him and he's in excellent health.  He still loves his blankets and stuffed toy bone...and he's finally decided it's ok to share the furniture with the cat,  as you can see in the attached pics!

Jane has been a big surprise.  When she first came to me she was so quiet.  She was a very good dog,  but very subdued -- didn't make any sounds,  didn't play with toys...just mainly tried to stay out of the way, it seemed.   Over time she has completed turned into a different dog -- she talks and even barks when she's happy...and has a smile that strangely looks almost like a snarl but it's easy to tell from her body language that she's just joyful.  It's been so fun to see her true personality come out -- she's discovered squeaky toys....the smaller the better. Annie (my Yorkie) has many many toys and Jane started carrying them around (Annie doesn't mind sharing)..I bought a couple larger ones for her but she seems to prefer the tiny ones -- very funny.   She's lost about 15 lbs and I think she just feels better -- she flies out the back door and bounds across the yard..keeping those pesky squirrels where they belong.  She now weighs 55 lbs which the vet says is just right for her.

So please pass this along to anyone who knew these two dogs...I couldn't be happier.  Sadly I lost my 16.5 yr old Peke-a-poo Betsy in December..and these two helped me so much in getting through that.
