Pet’s AARF Name: Jackie
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Lulu Lightning
How is your adopted pet doing? Lulu adjusted so well from her quiet foster home to our sometimes loud but still full of love home with 3 kids. They wanted “Lightning” to be part of her name because she loves to race in circles in our back yard as fast as Lightning! She loves belly rubs and is especially attached to her Daddy and cries when he leaves every morning. She even likes to comfort & snuggle the baby when she cries and thinks she is just one of the kids. She is a great dog for our family just like we hoped!

Pet’s AARF Name: Millie
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Donna
How is your adopted pet doing? Donna has definitely come out of her shell. She’s playful and vocal, she loves to be held and pet(especially under her chin). She’s getting more and more daring in her exploration of the house. Still unsure of her new canine companions but we’re working on that very slowly to not overwhelm anyone. She loves to sleep above my head on my pillow and will let me know when she’s ready to wake up and play. She sits on the bathroom counter while I get ready for my day and thinks stealing makeup brushes is a fun game. While I’m at work she keeps my husband company since he works from home, she sits on his lap or watches him from her cat tree. We are so happy we found her and look forward to seeing her grow and she is very much a welcomed addition to our family.

Pet’s AARF Name: Charlotte
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Missy
How is your adopted pet doing? Thank you so much for letting us adopt Charlotte! We call her Missy because it’s perfect for a good dog which is just what she is!! Ariel has been so helpful, and her foster mom could not have been nicer.
We knew Missy needed heartworm treatment when we got her. She’s through the worst part of the treatment and is resting now so she can recover. This quiet time is nice so we can all spend time getting to know each other. She’ll be back on her feet and ready to go in a few weeks and the fun will really start.
We wanted a running buddy for our mini Aussie and we love her already!!
Thanks again for all the help and a smooth, professional adoption process. We would recommend your group to anyone looking for a new pet.

How is your adopted pet doing? Arrow is wonderful! He was our foster since June 2020 and when he was ready to go up for adoption we realized he was part of the family and couldn’t let him go. He is best friends with the cat and brings joy and love to us every day!

Pet’s AARF Name: Missy
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Opal
How is your adopted pet doing? Opal is doing great. She paced and whimpered for a couple of days and the then rolled over for a belly rub and a big wiggle!
It took a couple of more days for my cat to come around to her new sister. They are not cuddling but got used to each other without any problems.
Opal has made herself at home and has adjusted so well. She sprawls out wherever she likes and is not shy about asking for attention. She is great on walks and with meeting new people and dogs. She is so sweet with kids too. I just love her and the feeling seems to be mutual.

Pet’s AARF Name: Jack
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Wrangler Jack
How is your adopted pet doing? Wrangler Jack, we call him Wrangler, is doing great. He made himself at home from the day that he was adopted. He and our 3 year old Corgi, Riley Coyote, are best buddies. Wrangler has done well with potty training and has had a few accidents. Some were our fault and some his, but he is doing better every day. He has done quite well sleeping in his bed in our bedroom at night. He usually makes it through the night, but does have some, anywhere from 1:00 a.m. on, nature calls. It’s good that he lets us know and we get up to let him out. He’s usually wound up after the walk out and when we get back in the bedroom he calms down and goes back to sleep. Wrangler and Riley have their daily routines of playing and napping as well as meals, outdoor exercise and a ride in the Jeep to run errands. The only thing that Wrangler does not enjoy and is still working on is being in his crate when we are gone to the store, doctor’s office or whatever. He barks a lot even with a kong filled with peanut butter. Once he is trustworthy and out of the chewing stage housebroken we will let him roam free in the house and not put him in the crate. Wrangler has been a joy to have as part of our pack and we look forward to the years that we will have together.
