Pet’s AARF Name: Bodhi
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Bodhi
How is your adopted pet doing? Bodhi is doing great. It took him no time at all to adapt to our lifestyle. He is an energetic and happy fellow who loves to cuddle, give kisses and play, play, play. We set aside dedicated play time with him and he has made fast friends with our daughter’s AussieDoodle. He goes on frequent walks each day, loves to go on nature hikes and really loves to ride in the car and catch the “air wave”. He has started some basic training at Petco to help him be his very best Bodhi. We lost Blue (blind bluetick beagle) in February (adopted from AARF in June 2002). We hit another home run with Bodhi. Thank you AARF for this wonderful gift.

Pet’s AARF Name: ~Alto~
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): ~Gino~
How is your adopted pet doing? Gino, formerly Alto, instantly made himself at home with the whole family.
He is like a little purring streak of lightning, bolting through the house and stealing kisses and cuddles with everyone.
His quickest and deepest friendship has been with his sister Chloe, formerly Snow, also from AARF. It’s like they know they have a special connection.
When he’s done chasing us all over the house he snuggles in as the sweetest little lap kitty there’s ever been. We all just adore him. This tiny little fellow has made a huge impact on all of our lives.
We love him so much! Thank you for choosing our family!

Pet’s AARF Name: Storm
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Saito
How is your adopted pet doing? Our hearts were broken after we had to say goodbye to our husky-mix of 15+ years, who had been a part of “us” as long as there’s been an “us”. We took some time, and then, when we started looking, this guy instantly caught our eye and has just as easily made his own space in our hearts. Saito is the perfect new addition to our family. He is so smart and learning all kinds of tricks and good behaviors. Daily walks, backyard adventures, and lots of kisses fill our days with happiness. He has discovered the joy of ice cubes, and he loves “talking” while chewing on his favorite squeaky toy. He’s our kind of weird in so many ways. Plus, he’s ridiculously photogenic. We are thankful every day that the right dog found his way to us thanks to the amazing folks at AARF.

Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Gengar Gibran
How is your adopted pet doing? Dear AARF folks,

They named me GENGAR?! I don’t know what that is or why I have a famous last name. I am found of: MeeMee Beaucoup, GenGen, and various other aliases, like kitty-kitty, although GenGen is the one my human uses the most. Georgia is pretty nice, the ride down was really long, yet I made it in time for a clean potty break and a chicken dinner. Sometimes I get freeze dried turkey livers, other nights it’s salmon pate. It all taste pretty great, drumroll, the treats are my favorite. Despite my silent meows for more, I guess I get enough of them.

I’m happy to report my front-window pillow viewing is at an all time high and close to my hidey spot when I’m ready for me time. My new home has lots of nap friends that love when I nap on them, who could of dreamt of that! Overall, life is good, the scratching carpet feels good..even though my additional brushes pet-titions were chittered out weeks ago and have gone unaddressed, I guess brushed once a day will be sufficient..for meow.

Sending lots of loud purrs to Susan and her daughter for keeping my spirits high waiting on my forever human, took him long enough.

P.S. His face is my favorite napping buddy

Side eye and lazy bats,
GenGen Gibran
