Pet’s AARF Name: Wednesday

How is your adopted pet doing? Wishie is such a sweet and loving girl. She adapted very quickly to her new home and, especially after seeing the vet due to previously diagnosed asthma, is more playful and active than I expected. She’s still not sure about the cat tree, but Wishie is wonderful company and I’m so glad she’s come to live with me.

Happy Tails For Rio

Pet’s AARF Name: Rio
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): (Not changed)
How is your adopted pet doing? Rio is doing very well after six weeks in his new home. He still shows a bit of skittishness when outdoors. He is easily startled by sudden noises or movements, and when walking on leash at my side he very frequently stops to check his surroundings, especially behind us. In our home, he is relaxed and comfortable with our routines and has shown no problem behaviors. I am very pleased to have him as my companion!

Happy Tails For Lucy

When did you adopt your pet from AARF?: 09/29/2023
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.

Happy Tails For Conrad

When did you adopt your pet from AARF?: October 20, 2023
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.
