Pictures of the girls

Here are some pictures of Lady (Pinky). She loves both of our other dogs, but has an especially wonderful time with our German Shorthaired Pointer. They love to wrestle and chase each other through the house, out the doggy door, and around the yard!! Lady will trip, roll, get back on her feet, and keep chasing!!

Sarge

Linda,

Well, Sarge is getting along great and he seems to be responding to his name now. He is a wonderful dog inside.. Outside he is going to need a lot training. We are planning to sign him up for classes at Petsmart starting the first of October. He had his wellness at the Vet's office and was a sweetheart. Everyone thought he was so pretty. He behaved very well. Will keep you updated on his outdoor progress.

Roxy!!!

Another HSOY Success Story addressed to Linda, our adoption supervisor.

Hi Linda! So here's an update on Roxy after two weeks.


Day one she was still really unsure about where she was. She just slept in her bed all night and didn't really move. Hammy was very curious and tried to play with her, but she wanted nothing to do with any of it.

Day two we went to the dog park. Hammy of course went tearing into the park barking like "HEY I'm here!" as always, Roxy just stood there for a minute and then BAM! took off and went up to everyone! She played with all the dogs, and people and just ran and ran! It was like YAY!!! Now she just LOOOOVES the park!

It took her a while to come out of her shyness shell, but now, she gets so excited when I pull out her leash to go for a walk! Yes, that's right! HER LEASH! We have successfully learned how to walk on a leash!

Yesterday she learned how to sit and today she learned how to lay down. She's really smart! It takes her a minute to figure out how to get the treat, but once she does, she's all over it!

Her and Hammy have totally become BFF's! They just play and play! Chase eachother around the house, tug of war with the toys, you name it!

She's really become a part of my family and she's sooo fun! Thanks for everything and we will definately keep you posted!

Here's some pics!

Henry

Hi! On 8-20-09 I adopted a kitten. I named him Henry. He fits so well into our lifestyle. We are retired and have lots of time to spend with him. We also have a sweet dog that likes him, too. I am attaching a few photos! How blessed we all are to have each other. We have the opportunity to give him a great life. He gives us so much enjoyment and love!
How sad that so many animals don't get a loving home and the opportunity to bring so much love and entertainment!! I will bring some items in from your wish list at his appointment time.
Thankfully,
Roberta Rich

Update on Blue

Just wanted to let everyone know how "Blue" is doing. She is adjusting to her new home and Rodie, our Australian Cattle Dog. She went to our local vet for her wellness checkup and licensing on Tuesday. She passed with flying colors. Right now their is a little people possessiveness between Rodie and Blue, but they will work that out in time. Such a smart little girl, housebroke and already knows how to use the doggie doors to go in and out. She loves to go for rides in the truck. Rodie and Blue managed to share the space in the back seat with no tiffs. We are attaching a couple of pictures of Blue and one of the two darlings together.

Our Four Dogs

Tex's Story:
My cousins were in town and they wanted a dog so we went with them and My father saw Tex (at the time he was not named) and was like hey he looks like smooch and we all fell in love with him. so we adopted him and toke him home and him and Smooch were instant friends.


Smooch's Story:
I (I'm the daughter by the way) had always wanted a dog but my parents kept saying No, well long story sort we went to the shelter for a different dog but Smooch was in the front and I fell in love with him and my parents were like it is up to you you can get smooch or the other dog and I chose Smooch.





Vee's Story:
My father was working and he came across Vee and fell in love with her and he came home and said we should go see her at the shelter and 2 weeks later we were able to adopted her.



Jae's Story:
we were looking online at your guys website and came aross Jae (his name was Smiley) and saw he look just like Tex and we went and looked at him and adopted him.

Kayla

I wanted to take this opportunity to update you on our adoption of our wonderful puppy Kayla. We went to your shelter and looked at several of the dogs and puppies that you had there and we fell in love with one adorable puppy and adopted her on July 3, 2009. Her name is Kayla. She is the absolutely best puppy in Yuma. She is very smart, was house broke in 1 day. She is very lovable and playful. Kayla is a wonderful addition to our family. She did not replace my Rottweiler who passed away on June 20, 2009. She was 13 years old and we had her since she was six weeks old. Kayla was a wonderful addition to help fill the void since the passing of KD. My other dog Lacey who we also had since a puppy also 13 years old passed away last Friday July 24th and Kayla is making the passing of both of my long term companions much better. We look forward to having Kayla in our family for a very long time. Kayla enjoys playing in her wading pool, tug-a-war, and going for car rides to the park and her favorite store, Pet Smart. She also loves playing fetch.

Thank you for having Kayla available for us to adopt. We are truly enjoying her.


The Keeters,

Helen, Larry and Jake and of course Kayla
