Pet’s AARF Name: Aqua
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Goose
How is your adopted pet doing? Goose is the sweetest, most energetic little cataster I’ve ever encountered, and I love her to pieces! She’s always playful, and despite having a dozen real toys, her favorite is of course a shoestring. When she wants to play fetch, she’ll let me know by bringing a toy to me. She adores being held and carried, and she takes most of her naps on my lap. That said, the person she’s most attached to in the house is Banana, my roommate’s cat. After a careful introduction, she took to him immediately. She follows her big brother everywhere and they play all the time. He’s been much happier with a little sister around as well… even if she (8 lbs) does bully him (16 lbs) a bit lol. Goose seems to believe that she can camouflage herself by sitting in between two shoes. See: photo 1 as evidence!

Pet’s AARF Name: Ace
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Hank Walker
How is your adopted pet doing? Hank’s transition was easier than expected! His demeanor has been a perfect fit for our family- a good balance between zoomies and naps! We absolutely love hearing his snores, especially since losing our bulldog mix unexpectedly two years ago. He’s very patient with our 2 year old, and will wait to play with our 5 year old Golden until she’s ready to run. He is a sucker for belly rubs and always has his tongue hanging out, making his sweet face look even sweeter. Adopting Hank has been a blessing and we can’t wait to keep making new memories!

Pet’s AARF Name: Titan
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Titan
How is your adopted pet doing? Titan is a great addition to our family. All three kids enjoy his spunky behavior and enjoy his cuddles. We are still working through the curious kitten stage, but he is learning the ropes well. Our dachshund was apprehensive about him at first, but has grown to enjoy his company. They love to play fight together! We are so grateful to have adopted him and bring him home, even though we were only in town for a soccer tournament.

Pet’s AARF Name: GOOSE
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): GOOSE
How is your adopted pet doing? GOOSE has settled in and seems VERY HAPPY to be here. He gets on well with his new little brother Chico, a young Rat Terrier (also rescued). He’s now house trained, loves his daily walk, has a great appetite, gets full run of the house (he thinks he owns the place!) He’s grown and we think there’s more to come – he’s FAST and reminds us of a thoroughbred. We love him dearly and we’re lucky to have him as part of our family. Big thanks to AARF and Susan who fostered him for a while.

Pet’s AARF Name: Chipper
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Caesar
How is your adopted pet doing? He is doing well. We love his calmness. His name is now Caesar.

Cesar is Precious. We did a 5K walk for our church and the children loved him. They played with him for hours, it was a joy to see. He is a blessing to everyone who meets him. The children, neighbors, visitors, Home Depot, etc. My Nephew 6 years old was terrified of dogs, and would not enter a home with a dog. He visited on Friday and by Saturday he said, it’s ok if Caesar followed him around. Within 48 hours he was playing with Caesar. I am very happy with Caesar. He is therapeutic to everyone who meets him.

He loves to jump, so I am training him to jump on command. He can spring up to 5 feet. Amazing for a little boy.

How is your adopted pet doing? She’s doing great! Loves her mommy and daddy but loves daddy more lol. She also LOVES her food! She’s very vocal so she’ll tell us she’s “starving” even if she just ate the hour before. She’s very energetic and loves running from one end of the house to the other! The only time she doesn’t talk back is when she’s asleep lol.

Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Kylo
How is your adopted pet doing? Kylo is an amazing dog. He loves to play, run, cuddle and spend time with everyone in the family. He loves his housemate Daisy who is blind and needed some companionship. Kylo has adapted well to the routine with 3 kids and a dog and is always excited to greet everyone when they come home. He loves going walks with the kids and rings the bell at the back door every time he wants to go outside, go on a walk, and even when he knows it’s time to eat. It took him 3 days to bell train! He’s such a smart boy. We are happy to have him.
