Pet’s AARF Name: Lucy
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Lucy
How is your adopted pet doing? This little dog has stolen our hearts! She is just so sweet and so playful. She has done so well adjusting to her new home. She started out in her crate while we weren’t home but once we figured out she was good, she has the run of the house all the time. Her favorite spot is sitting in the chair by the window to watch what is going on outside. She loves destroying squeaky toys and can chew up a bone for “serious chewers” in no time! She sleeps in the bed with us and hates getting up in the morning. She likes to take long walks around the neighborhood and loves playing in the field behind the house. I am so glad we happened to meet Lucy at Dogapalooza- We couldn’t imagine life without her.

Pet’s AARF Name: Cassie and Mittens
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Taco and Valentina
How is your adopted pet doing? The kittens are doing SO well! Taco(cassie) was instantly at home right out of the gate while V (mittens) took a couple more days to warm up. Now they both take turns snuggling with different members of the family, and they have become sisters, constantly playing together and cuddling each other. We couldn’t have found a better pair of fur babies to join our family. ❤️

Pet’s AARF Name: Conrad
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Lord Conrad (the first)
How is your adopted pet doing? I adopted Conrad because I had been without a dog for over a year and it was time. I saw his picture and fell in love. I realized he is a hospice dog and that didn’t even phase me. (I was an ICU nurse for 25 years). He has Stage 3 renal disease and a tick disorder but you really couldn’t tell it. He can be wobbly at times walking but not too bad and he drinks a lot of water and has to go potty often. He is a love and such a sweet thing. I love snuggling with him when I sit to watch tv or in bed at night. He is adjusting well and doing really good. At the vet for a full check up and my vet said he is in good health except for the renal issue. I love taking care of people and animals. My vet set me up for success with Conrad and his condition. He has even started playing with me some. I am so happy and will pray that he gets to be with me for a long time, but however long he has he will be totally spoiled for sure.

Pet’s AARF Name: Poe
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Storm
How is your adopted pet doing? Storm is such a joy. He’s fitting it nicely. His big brother, Reese, is his bestie. If they are awake, more than likely they are playing. They absolutely love chasing each other and playing hide and seek in their tunnels. We’re truly blessed to have been able to add him as an addition to our family.

Pet’s AARF Name: Duchess
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Duchess
How is your adopted pet doing? She is adjusting great. Likes being a couch potato. Tolerates Rocky my 98 lb lab mix. She enjoys going to the breweries with me and my friends. We go on 2 mile walks most days. She is very flexible. Since I adopted her we have spent half of the time at my home in the mountains and the other half at my condo at Carolina Beach. My brother has a house here at the beach and she goes with me when I have dinner at their house. Makes herself right at home on their couch. Rocky was never allowed on the couch but he now thinks he should be able to join Duchess. She has brought great joy to my life. I did her DNA. She is 59% beagle, 10% pit bull, 8% boxer, 8% chow, 4% Rottweiler, 3% cattle dog, 2% border collie, 2% German Shepard, 2% Eskimo dog, 1% chihuahua, 1% wolf. I guessed Beagle because of ears, bark, and sniffs everything, pit because just about every mutt has a little pit and chow because of her tongue. Thank you for letting me adopt her.
