Pet’s AARF Name: Chester
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Chester
How is your adopted pet doing? Chester is the missing piece of our family we didn’t know we needed! He was a little hesitant with the transition at first, but is now obsessed with his new furever home, yard, and parents. His confidence has grown tremendously. He follows mom around the house like a little shadow. LOVES to play fetch, keep away, and chew on his bone. But his favorite times of the day are meal time and bed time. He even tricked dad into letting him sleep in the bed with us (even though he swore this wasn’t going to be allowed). His little personality is just so fun. We’re still working on getting comfortable with car rides and new people/places, but he’s made huge strides in the almost 2 months we’ve had him. We can’t wait to see how he continues to blossom and we’re so grateful that we get to be the ones to share a life with him!

Side note: Thank you to AARF and Karen (foster mom)!! You all made the adoption process so easy and comfortable. You truly love what you do (it shows) and want to make sure your little rescues fit into their furever home.

Pet’s AARF Name: Chico
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Chico
How is your adopted pet doing? Chico is a sweet, wonderful dog, and she has fit right in to our home and family! My husband and I lost our 11 year old Doberman very suddenly and unexpectedly in November, and it has been an extremely difficult loss. We don’t have children, so he was like our child. Even getting to the point to decide we were ready to adopt was tough, but Chico has been a blessing. She has helped fill an emptiness and void we felt in our home. She is so sweet and loves us both so much. She loves her new home and enjoys going to the barn to feed the horses and playing in the creek. I can’t believe how well behaved she is either, especially to be 11 months old! She has been a perfect dog to transition to after the loss of Riddick. She is a sweet girl who deserves the best, and we are glad to be her forever home.

Pet’s AARF Name: Napoleon
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Henry
How is your adopted pet doing? My husband and I are quite happy with Henry. He is exuberant yet very smart. He is gaining weight, and learning manners! He has mastered “sit” and “down” and we are working on “stay”. He is a snuggle bug on the couch and active on our walks in the woods. He is fascinated by the snow plow and also by the deer population! I enjoy coming home from work and grooming him in the evenings- it is great therapy!

Pet’s AARF Name: Tig
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Maverick
How is your adopted pet doing? Maverick has been a wonderful addition to our fur baby family. After the untimely passing of my oldest cat, the younger sibling became more reserved and less active. Maverick has definitely filled that void and became an instant companion to all of us. If he is not climbing on our shoulders or playing with his toys, he is playing chase with the dogs and cat. When he does finally calm down, he loves cuddling in our laps, and will sleep with his fellow furry family. He is everything we had hoped when we adopted him, and I am certain he is going to provide us with a lifetime of love and laughs.

Pet’s AARF Name: Hardy
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Hardy
How is your adopted pet doing? Hardy is doing great and everything we were hoping to have in a feline friend. I enjoy the company while I work when he is not knocking my pen off my desk. LOL He loves his cat tunnels and laser pointer as well as running across my face at 3am. But as playful as he is he is also just as much of a cuddler. He has mastered the kitty cat door that leads him to his litter box in the garage. He is very vocal when he does not know where we are in the house so we have learned to sleep with our bedroom door open so he can come and go. He loves to drink water from the sink while we brush our teeth and he has a favorite chair that we have claimed as Hardy’s chair. We are happy we found him.
