Pet’s AARF Name: Birdie
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): We didn’t change it.
How is your adopted pet doing? Birdie is doing amazing! We are so glad she joined our family. She is really coming out of her shell and enjoys hanging out with us more and more. She loves cuddles and playtime. Our dog and her have become friends, though she lets him know when he’s being too much! Belly rubs are her favorite and she loves “making biscuits” on our legs before she snuggles down to sleep at our feet. Kids are her favorite and our two absolutely adore her. She is the sweetest baby ever! We sure do love her and are so grateful to AARF for fostering her and letting us adopt her!

Pet’s AARF Name: Lenny
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Ollie
How is your adopted pet doing? Ollie is doing great! He is best buds with our other 3 dogs. They run and jump and play together constantly. Ollie feels loved and has his forever home. He has been difficult to potty train and feel he lacked consistency in the first 6 months of his life, but we are working with him and put doggie diapers on him when necessary. He is very fearful of strangers, men in particular. He is very protective and snaps at people now and then, but has hurt no one. He seems more to threaten than to want to hurt anyone. Obviously he was abused to some degree in his early life. We are willing to love him and be patient with him and are happy we adopted him!

Pet’s AARF Name: Lamont
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Ozzie
How is your adopted pet doing? Ozzie is adapting into our family wonderfully! We have an almost two year old Great Dane and she’s become a great friend to him, very tolerant of his puppy playfulness. He’s friendly with everyone when taken out, including the vet and groomer. We couldn’t be happier with him! Kudos to his foster mom Lori for giving him a good start.

Pet’s AARF Name: Princess Peach
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Princess Peach (no change)
How is your adopted pet doing? We ended up adopting Peach, and 2 other kittens from other litters/organizations, all born within 3 weeks of each other! What a joy each of them has brought into our lives. Peach is extremely talkative, and loves cuddles. So far, she is kind of the “leader” of the family. Her adopted brother & sister cats, and even our 11 year old pit bull seem to let her rule the roost. Even still, she is not bossy. Peach is warm, sweet, and loyal to her family. We love her so much!

When did you adopt your pet from AARF?: May, 2023
Pet’s AARF Name: Primrose
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Indie (Indigo)
How is your adopted pet doing? She’s great! She fit in the moment we brought her home. Indie loves her sister Dottie (dog) and brother Boone (human.) She bothers the cats. But the cats are bothered by everything. We’re working on it. She’s been pretty good about accidents but really needs some work walking on the leash. Overall, we couldn’t live without her!
