Pet’s AARF Name: Crockett
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Barkley
How is your adopted pet doing? I was recently going through some old files and came across the adoption sheet for our sweet Barkley (Crockett). We adopted Barkley in 2010 while we were living in Nashville. He is currently residing in the Chicago suburbs and just celebrated his 14th birthday. He has had a life full of adventures and is EVERYONE’s favorite dog. He has brought so much joy and love to our lives. Thank you for rescuing him from an animal shelter. We can’t imagine our lives without him. And hopefully we won’t have to for many, many more years – he still runs like he’s a puppy. 🙂

Pet’s AARF Name: Lizzy
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Lizzy
How is your adopted pet doing? Lizzy is adapting very well. She’s learned our routine of leash walking, potty times, and meals. She gets along wonderfully with our Shih Tzu/pug doggie. Lizzy is letting us pet and hold her and loves attention. She still has moments of being a little timid but is making lots of progress. She plays with her toys and sofa pillows a lot (mainly when she thinks we aren’t watching lol). It’s so awesome to see her grow into the doggie she was always meant to be and really see her personality show. She’s adorable and we just love her to pieces! Thank you AARF for choosing us to be her pet parents! Her foster mom did a wonderful job preparing her for adoption so we would like to thank her so much.

Pet’s AARF Name: Bruno
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Bruno
How is your adopted pet doing? Just dropping a note to let you know Bruno is doing great! He loves playing with his adopted sister, River, whether it’s playing chase in the yard or house, or digging for moles together. We had our first session with a fantastic dog trainer this weekend and are excited about practicing her techniques. And on the occasions when I have to travel, Bruno and River have an awesome boarding option, as evident from these pics of them playing at Houndtown last week.
