Enzo's Happy Tail

Hi Vanessa, Andy, Sophie, and Olivia ~

We just wanted to provide you with some new pics of Pinky! We could not decide on a name, everything just sounded so cute, so we had to put it to a vote via email to our friends and family. The two names we were left to choose from were Enzo and Finnegan. We let my three year old Godson have the deciding vote, and Enzo took the cake! I was hesitant because it sounds so much like "no"...but he is doing well with it.

He is a riot! He keeps Truman busy. We always know where Enzo is because Truman is right by his side. They are doing so well together, and you're right, the little guy is incredibly resilient! He is doing great with "potty training." He has not gone at ALL in his crate, and has had only had about 4 or 5 accidents in the house. We are so surprised by how quickly he caught on to his new environment and his own little routine. He gets very distracted when he eats, usually because he wants to know what Truman is eating, but we just redirect him back to his bowl and then he remembers.

He has been such a bright spot and we are absolutely in love with him. He is just always so happy and affectionate. As I write this, he is laying against me sleeping on his back. He just learned how to do stairs today, so he is pretty tired from his big day!

Thanks again for doing such a great job raising him. We can tell he was well-socialized--nothing bothers him and he is so easygoing. We will definitely keep in touch and send more pictures. Although we probably aren't in a position to host foster dogs at this point, if you ever need supplies or anything else, let us know. We would be glad to help. We are very impressed with Magnificent Mutts!

Pinky/Enzo does have one question: How is his mom doing???

Have a great night!

Bandit's Happy Tail

We got Bandit (aka) Scully when he was 2 months old. He is now 4 months old.
We lost our Rottie over a year ago. I thought I'd never get another dog. Boy was
I wrong. Bandit is such a joy to have. He is the sweetest dog. He loved the snow
when we had the blizzard. Thank you so much Magnificent Mutts for this wonderful
new family member.

Bosco aka Truf

We adopted Truf (now called Bosco) two and a half weeks ago and we can't thank you enough. What a terrific puppy! Since the day we brought him home, he happily went into his crate. He quickly learned where to do his business outside and is already ringing the bell (hanging on the door) when he needs to go out. He doing a pretty good job at walking on the leash without pulling. He has mastered "sit" and "lie down"...he's getting better at stay and we still have some work to do on "come." We working really hard at "fetch". He's good for about 5-10 retrievals and then he gets distracted and wanders somewhere else or comes bolting toward us without the ball. He enjoys running the fence with the much larger puppies next door, but he gets a little intimidated when put in the yard with them. The puppy across the street is a little younger and they play very well together. Bosco loves to play with Gramma's older shitzu (Wrigley), but we're not sure the feeling is mutual. H
e is the most curious puppy and we are so enjoying watching him discover his world. By the end of the day, we are all so tired...not sure who is wearing who out, but inevitable I find one of the kids on the floor with him curled up next to them...both sound asleep. Thank you again for this wonderful addition to our family.

Jackpot(:

We put our other down down on Novemeber 4th 2010. We rescued Jackpot. We LOVE him so so so so much... I love you jackpot!!!(:

Caprice (aka Barnabus) Happy Tail

When I first saw Caprice, later to be known as Barnabus, walk in he was all confident walk and big wagging puppy tail and not much has changed! He's already gaining a reputation in our neighborhood for being the friendliest puppy around! And the kids especially love to pet him because he's so soft and sits so well.
He's making good friends with the two big Newfoundlands who live in our neighborhood and already seems to think he's as big as them and should only play with the other big dogs! But he's already starting to learn how play nice and we're all looking forward to having fun and learning in puppy class!
I'm so grateful to Magnificent Mutts for rescuing this wonderful little boy! It sometimes scares me to think where he would have ended up if not for the care and compassion of all of their volunteers. Thank you again to all of you for all that you do, from me and Barnabus! :)

Slugger aka Mason's Happy Tail

We adopted Slugger from MM in April 2008. He was a tiny little guy with a bloated belly. Well he has grown into a beautiful boy that has added such joy to our family! He loves his long walks and having "play dates" with our daughters MM rescue, Luka and her cousins Payton and Tressel (all rescues). I've attached "then" and "now" photos of Slugger and a photo of Luka too. We are very grateful to have found Magnificent Mutts!
