Pet’s AARF Name: Davina
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Pixie
How is your adopted pet doing? Pixie is awesome, we did the wisdom panel and she is 1/2 gsd and part border collie. When she was adopted there were 9 of them, 7 females and 2 males, one was named Jocko. It was so funny because I happened to see him on here today. I also want to thank you so much for my beautiful pixie, she fits in with her older brother, Sully aka Horton, who was also adopted through you two years earlier and the two black young male cats I adopted a year ago.
Thank you so much for all you do for these animals, I wouldn’t trade my two for the world. My Sully who is now 8 is an old soul and my heart. Pixie is so smart and sweet she takes my breath away. When she came to me at 3 mths old she already knew how to ring the bells on the back door to go out and go pee. They also had the same foster parent, thank you Kristin for all the love and care you give to these animals.

How is your adopted pet doing? Olivia Benson, now affectionately named Coffee by my 3 year old, is living her best life soaking up the sun, eating plenty of wet food, and getting nonstop cuddles from her new kitty sister Maude and her two human siblings. She sleeps on my chest every night and is settling in so well. She has a destructive streak, but who doesn’t?! She loves toilet paper and paper towels, and hiding under our feet while we are carrying liquids. She’s so loved and loves so much!

Pet’s AARF Name: Jocko
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Drogo
How is your adopted pet doing? I came here mostly to thank this organization for bringing me my shepherd best friend a few years previously. Drogo (Jocko) is the sweetest and most loving boy. He’s a Florida boy now who loves nothing more than playing fetch, going on trail walks, assisting with neighborhood watch and getting scratches. He now has his own yard, a dog brother and a kitty sister that he loves to spend his days lounging with. We couldn’t love him more. Thank you to this organization for all you do!
