Pet’s AARF Name: Quinn
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Finn (Finnegan)
How is your adopted pet doing? Finn is pure delight! Based on his AARF description, I had hoped he would be MY cuddle bug (hang out with me while I watch TV, sleep with me, etc.). He is just that, but what has been most special to me is how he has bonded with Tugg, our AARF alumni adopted last year. Tugg was absolutely in love with him (after a couple of days of nervous hisses!) and the feeling quickly became mutual. Watching them bond has been a great joy to me – when my babies are happy, I am happy! I also have two senior cats and Finn has won them over as well. His presence has been like putting the last piece of the puzzle into place and we are complete!

Pet’s AARF Name: Tina
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Tina
How is your adopted pet doing? Tina is what we call a “foster failure”. While she fit seamlessly into our household, she could never relax anywhere else. She recently celebrated her 15th birthday and is doing well. She’s been welcoming to many, many other foster dogs, even the Great Dane. Tina has some advanced arthritis in her front legs so no more long walks but prior to that she took regular 2-to-2.5-mile walks nearly every day. She has been a sweet and gentle companion for many years and hopefully will celebrate a few more in her future.
