Veggie

We are so happy with our new puppy Kinsi (Kin-zee) f/k/a Veggie. We are busy training her, I think it’s coming along well. The kids are having fun playing with her and she got her first bath yesterday.

My friend and her daughter came to visit the puppy Friday and they really enjoyed her. They have been looking for a puppy somewhat so I told them about her sister. I hope this works out because it would be nice to have play dates with the two sisters!

Thanks again for placing Kinsi in her furever home with us! I’ll send more pictures soon!

Vina

Hi Kathy, Vina (now Bailey) is doing great! I attached some photos from today. She is growing like a weed and spoiled, spoiled spoiled :) we LOVE her so much! She has helped us so much with our home sickness as well (just moving from PA). Potty trianing is at almsot 100% Crate trianing is at 100%. As a matter of fact, her "bed" is in our room beside our bed. So when we say "night night time" she grabs her toy and in she goes :). She is so great! I cant tell you enough how much we love her! We are hoping to be able to plan a trip up to PA the first of the year, and cant wait to take her along! Thank you again soooo very much for her! She is treated like our kid and we look forward to a lifetime of love and fun with her! ~Kasey & JR~

Vito

hi kathy- i tried a few times to email you and attach pics from my phone to let you know how our precious little "dude" is doing but it always seemed to erase itself. Vito-who is now Hank- is amazing and has brought a ton of joy to our ENTIRE family! I know I told you about Sparky, my 5 yr old rescue that had died a few months ago and how much not just me, but my parents too just adored him... and how his death just devestated me (my boyfriend loved him, too, but hadn't been around him but for just a year before he passed away). well, in addition to Sparky being attacked and taken from us by a freakish amount of cancer, my parents dog Oscar died just 2 months before Sparky. He was 14 yrs old, but it devestated my parents just the same-especially my big tough-guy father. When we got Hank and fell in love with him the first day I could tell my dad though nice to him, felt like he was betraying Oscar some, but Sparky a WHOLE lot by letting little Hank into his heart. Just because Sparky was his buddy/grandpuppy and he felt guilty..but Hank being the sweetheart fun, cuddlebug he is has just melted my dads heart like you wouldn't believe in record time! :) I think its surprised everyone because my dad has been so incredibly hurt by the back to back losses of his k-9 son and his k-9 grandson that i think it has shocked him more then anyone and how much he has fallen for the little guy! Hank has healed my heart and my family in more ways then you can imagine and what you all do there-the foster parenting and the screening you all do, the no-kill facility- its amazing and i love what you all do there. you have given us a gift without even knowing how much-without even US knowing-how much it would mean to my family. he is the coolest little puppy (he has gotten SOOOO big though!) and is exactly what was missing in our lives. he is pure comedy with his crazy ear that sticks up straight every so often and has a great time running while my boyfriend takes him for bike rides (hes done this with all my dogs and they love them!). he sure is a happy puppy and makes us incredibly happy, too. we are so blessed additionally because with my boyfriends schedule, he can spend 4-5 days a week, full days, with him (he is a fireman) while i work and then when hes working and so am i, my parents pick both my dogs up for a sleepover at grandma and grandpas house.. im attaching some pics of the crazy little ball of joy and once again, thank you for all you have done for Hank and all the other "Hank" and "Hank-ettes" :) out there you have placed. we are so lucky to have him now in our lives.. sincerely, katie (katherine) berish

Venys

Hi, Thank you so much for the congratulations! Our new addition, previously named Venys by Second Chance, is doing exceptionally well as Vincent (van Gogh)! We love him already like an original member of the family. He has had his shots and checkups through his rabies shot and has even started attending Puppy Training class at PetSmart. He loves people (people love him!), other dogs, and to play hard. He is almost fully house trained. In fact, he goes to the front door and barks once to take us out for his potty run! He also loves to ride in the car no matter where we go and absolutely has to be close to us at all times. He is sooooooooo sweet! Thank you so much for this opportunity! It has added so much to our lives. We now can't imagine life without Vincent. Regards, Debra Hill, Cynthia Revilla and Vincent
