Sarge a/ka Pongo

hi Kris
well I am happy to inform you that Sarge is doing quite well
he seems to be adjusting nicely to our home.
We'd be happy to post more photos which I will be doing shortly
to all the people involved in his rescue my brother and I thank you
Sarge is a wonderful addition to our family now if I could just get him to close the door on his own when he comes in

Pilar's Update

We adopted Pilar from the Hillside PetCo Adoption day on August 28th. She was from the litter abandoned in a field and the people driving away from the field were spotted with a black German Shepherd in the truck, possibly Pilar's mom! It looks like Pilar mom's very well may have been that black German Shepherd! She is such a precious dog, we think about 5 months old and almost ready for her spaying. If you think you have her brothers or sisters, please post, we would love to show Pilar that they found good homes too. Thanks!

Rambo

Our boy Rambo has really turned out to be the best companion we have ever had! We are very proud of him, as he has been completely trained by our next door neighbor, Gary.

Ron and I are looking to adopt another German Shepherd dog, male, young.

Do you have any available?

Please let us know as soon as you can.

Thanks so much.

Ron, Tina, & Rambo

Callie a/k/a Gretchen

Hi,

I adopted a dog from you August 6th of this year. Her name was Gretchen since changed to Callie. Just wanted to follow up and let you know that she was just spayed this past Friday.
She has had several vet visits and is very healthy. She is at just about 19 lbs now, grown a lot since we got her at about 8 lbs.

She has been a great addition to our family. Full of energy, loves to play and has taken to training very well. She is also a huge cuddler and loves to lay with people when they are on the floor with her. I attached a pic of her for you to see.

Thanks again,

Brad

Trooper aka Middy

Just wanted to let you know that Trooper aka Middy is adjusting extremely well. He acts like he's been living in our house the whole time. Max our golden is really showing him the ropes. They follow each other around everywhere. Right now as I'm typing this there taking a nap together! :). The very first day they were play fetch. Our Max really missed that after our dog Buddy passed. Love how he sits when he takes a treat! He's a smart and gorgeous little boy! My husband is in awe over him. I'll send you pics and videos soon! Words can't express how meaningful and a joy to have as part of our family! Thanks again!

Sincerely,
The Youngwirth Family

Update: Here's a photo of the two of them after they were both tired out from playing! Max has been a wonderful big brother to him. They both follow each other everywhere. Trooper goes and sees the vet this Wednesday. He'll be scheduled for his neutering then as well. Please do me a favor and pass the photo to his foster parents! Give them a big thank you for doing an outstanding job training him! Have a great day and take care!!!

Queenie aka Lulu

I adopted Queenie aka Lulu in early October. She is such a treasure. She loves being outside and running in the leaves. When my grandkids come to visit, she just runs and plays all day. She just makes me smile all the time. She is such a goof ball. She brings her toys out and wont leave you alone until you play with her. She loves everyone.

Connor

It's been a while since Connor's last update so I thought I would send one. He is doing really well! He has fully graduated from his crate however he will still run to the corner his crate was in and lay there as if it was still there....when he has done something bad (like behead all his toys lol). His favorite toy (and the only one that has survived) is his green kong stick. We tried taking the boys to a self serve dog wash and it became comedic so needless to say we found a wonderful groomer that adores the boys. We found a food that he eats well and he is finally packing on the pounds. He runs off all his food in the yard (where he has started a new habit w Murphy of digging holes). We are still working on some of his behavioral quirks but he is improving every day. I sent this pick to show his goofy grin

Hi,
We adopted these two cuties from a Petco event on 10/8/11. They were shy and scared. They are coming around now and we keep working with them to make them more comfortable in their new home. They're making progress each day and we love them so much!
Thank you!

Kaya aka Bette

This is our puppy Kaya who is now 4 1/2 months old. We adopted her from your rescue Labor Day Weekend. She is half Boxer and we think she may be half Rhodesian Ridgeback. She is the best puppy ever!! Thank you!!! BTW... You called her Bette and she had a sister and two brothers. Cathy Calabrese Chiarelli

Samson aka Soot

Samson is doing great! He graduated from PetSmart intermediate class - see corny attachment. That is an Easy Leader on his face. It has been fantastic for walking Samson since he is so strong and way too friendly. I took him to the dog park in Aurora where I'm sure Samson thought he had died and gone to heaven. Samson is so friendly to both the dogs and the people. We chose well!!!

Bear

Hi Michelle,
I thought you might enjoy to see a few pics of Bear. He has grown so much already we were at the Elmhurst animal hosp just tonight for family obedience class and he weighs 45lbs!!! He is doing really well in the class and we couldn't be more pleased he is a good boy! We just love him so much already it's crazy!

He loves to play in the leaves, chase squirrels and jog the IL prairie path with me. I love how he looks up at me smiling when we are jogging together. It took lots of patience to train him to walk/run on the leash but with the class help it's now a joy! I can't believe how smart he is for only being 6 months old! Fred our kitty and him are not best friends but they are tolerating each other well.

How is your Bear doing? I know it was touch and go two months ago. I hope Marco has found new foster puppies to play with too! You all do amazing work and it was a pleasure to adopt a dog from Mag Mutts. Let me know if your ever at the hillside petco events and we'll try to come see you!
Take care,
Rikki
