Pet’s AARF Name: Daisy
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Daisy
How is your adopted pet doing? Daisy has adapted so well into our home. Buddy can be possessive but they worked through some issues and he has accepted her as part of our pack. They enjoy going to the park 2-3 times a week. We have a steady routine of yard time several times per day and lots of couch time, her favorite. She loves small toys and chewing on sweet potato chews. We all cuddle at night in the bed. She’s such a sweet addition to our family.

How is your adopted pet doing? Lucy fits in with my leisurely schedule really well! She’s ready to go whether I get up at 8 or 9 or even 10. Then we have breakfast and go to the park for a nice long walk.

How is your adopted pet doing? Lucy is living the best life on “HER” 13 acre farm. I am overjoyed having her in my life & looking so forward to see what the future holds. She has never met an enemy & has the most amount of energy I’ve ever seen in a dog. She is being introduced to everything possible including my horses, chickens, 3 neighbors’ dogs & my sister’s 2 dogs on her 250 acre farm. Does great in car rides & goes with me often. We have been going to ThunderHawk Puppy Classes & will continue with Obedience Classes right after it ends. I would recommend these classes to anyone!

Happy Tails For Hercules

When did you adopt your pet from AARF?: April 29, 2025
Pet’s AARF Name: Hercules
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Mordechai (Mordy)
How is your adopted pet doing? Mordy is doing fantastic. At first he didn’t eat much and was very scared and clung to me constantly. He had to wear a belly band because he marked everywhere. He pooped on the floor constantly even if we were just outside. My Sophie did OK with him but wasn’t sure at first about a new brother. After 3-4 weeks he says this is my new home. He wants to play (fetching toys) but he is not sure how to play with Sophie and she wants to play with him. Well it has been 5 weeks now and things are pretty normal. He still has Poop accidents on the floor but he does his business outside more and more that now he goes more outside than inside. I love him so much and he snuggles in bed with me under the covers right next to my back. We are working on basic obedience and also with Sophie as she needs some also. He is super smart and learning really fast on everything. I am impressed. I am so blessed to have this guy and so happy he will be with me for a while. He is also my first dog who is younger as I usually adopt senior dogs and also younger sick dogs. He is such a joy. Thank you. What a blessing he is in my life.

Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Wishbone
How is your adopted pet doing? Oh my goodness.. Wishbone has completely changed my life. I could not imagine life without him now, that’s how perfect he fits into the mix. Everyone who knows me has welcomed him with open arms since I brought him home. He sleeps in bed with me every single night and he comes to work with me every day. We two peas in a pod. He is the small bundle of sunshine that brings love and happiness to everyone who meets him. I can’t say thank you enough to AARF and their fosters for rescuing his mom and his whole litter so that I could adopt my dream dog!

Happy Tails For Cheddar

Pet’s AARF Name: Cheddar
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): N/A
How is your adopted pet doing? Cheddar has fit into our lives so perfectly. He is so gentle and affectionate, just the sweetest, cuddliest little guy! When he’s not sitting on my lap purring, he’s strutting his stuff around the house and chatting with anyone who will listen. It’s hard to believe that we’ve had him for less than two years because he’s truly what makes our house feel like a home! I’m so grateful for him and thankful to A.A.R.F. for giving us the most perfect little kitty!
