How is your adopted pet doing? Great! He has fit in with our other two dogs quite well up to the point of playing with and chasing/being chased by our Corgi mix.

How is your adopted pet doing? Kimchee is doing very well! The guest bedroom has now turned into Kimchee’s room. We have a baby gate at the door to make sure her canine brothers know that is Kimchee’s safe space. She has slowly been warming up to them and has started exploring the rest of the house even with her older canine brother Oak, in the same room. She loves looking out the window and taking naps in her gray chair. Currently, her favorite toy is a crawdaddy wand toy. We are so happy and lucky to have Kimchee in our family!

Pet’s AARF Name: Paisley
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Bella
How is your adopted pet doing? Bella has been a perfect addition to our family! This big girl, weighing over 30lbs at her vet appointment at 14 weeks, is afraid of the going outside in the dark, a neighbor’s yard statue and another neighbor’s mailbox. She loves going on walks several times a day and playing in the yard with our other dog Bailey. She likes to be with her people, so much so that she calmly climbs on our laps and lays down to cuddle after she wakes up in the morning, or whenever we return from errands, etc. She was a total surprise for our kids and they have loved every minute of having a new puppy to play with!
