When did you adopt your pet from AARF?: May, 2022
Pet’s AARF Name: Decker
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Shaka
How is your adopted pet doing? Shaka is the funnest, coolest little spitfire that ever graced a home! EVERYONE is in love with him! He loves going out in the boat and jumping off the bow….he’s fearless! The element that truly impresses me–and it has sooooo much to do with the rescue service–is that he naturally expects that everyone he meets will be kind to him. He wasn’t even afraid of the fireworks over the 4th of July! Thank you AARF for enriching our lives!!!

How is your adopted pet doing? Lola is doing great! She has come a long way since her adoption. She now loves our whole family and gets very excited when they come to visit. She tore her ACL(CCL) chasing a chipmunk in the fall and had to have TPLO surgery, but was a great patient and has recovered well. She has also become a foster big sister for many different puppies this year and enjoys teaching them how to play tug of war. Thank you for letting Lola become a part of our family.

Pet’s AARF Name: Emma
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Oreo
How is your adopted pet doing? Oreo has been a great addition to our family! One of our beloved kitties passed at just 2 years old for unknown reasons. My daughter was heartbroken and took the loss hard as he was her special kitty. I wasn't actively searching for a cat, but when I walked into Petco on a Saturday in May and saw her, I just knew she had to come home with us. We have 3 german shepherds, so she's still adjusting to their craziness but she sleeps with my daughter every night. She's a very sweet and talkative girl. (She will let you know when it's time to eat..until you feed her!)

Pet’s AARF Name: Kuro
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Pete
How is your adopted pet doing? Pete is the most loving cat we could ask for! He gets along well with our dogs and is always very jealous for any affection shown to anyone but him. He’s eating well and completely potty-trained. We take him outside with us from time to time when we’re gardening and he enjoys the little bit of outside time he gets. He’s also very playful. You can tell he’s still got plenty of kitten in him. From randomly running and jumping around for absolutely no reason, to chasing around the different little string toys or even a laser pointer sometimes, he’s always having a good time.

Pet’s AARF Name: Bugsy
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): I’m keeping her name but I usually call her a little bit
How is your adopted pet doing? As soon as she saw me when I got to the Foster’s home she ran up to me and I picked her up and she laid her head on my shoulder. When I got her home my cats were curious about her. She didn’t want them too close but she has fit in like she has always lived here. She follows me everywhere and I always have to be within her sight. Even when I was taking a shower she was standing there at the bathroom door waiting for me! She is a cuddle bug, she hogged the bed last night, curled right up against me, lol… My dad came over today and she ran right up to him and got on his lap. She’s an absolute sweetheart!! Thank you for caring for her and bringing her into my life.
