Success Stories

Katie

I adopted Katie the dog (now Cally - just because we had the same name :) ) SHe is doing awesome. Andy and I love her so much. She has become my little (well, actually BIG- 70lbs) running buddy. We run a couple of miles together 4 to 5 days a week. On the days we don't run Cally loves to go to the dog park or swim in the pond. She also likes playing in the back yard, especially with her soccer ball. Andy is still in college for physical therapy so I don't know what I would do without Cally. She is my best friend. She goes everywhere with me and keeps me company all during the week when Andy is at school. I attached a few pictures of Cally. I am not sure what she is mixed with. When she was a puppy she looked like she was maybe a lab pitbull mix, but now that she is older I am not sure. I don't really care though. She is a great dog!

Karly

I adopted Karly (now named Luna) on May 3, 2009. I had been searching for a dog for weeks on Pet Finder, but every one I saw just didn't seem like they were "the" dog. They were all adorable and I'm sure would make great pets, but I knew I still hadn't found "the one." As I was searching, I saw Luna's photo, and I immediately knew she was my dog. I fell in love as soon as I saw the picture of her looking as if she was waving at the camera, and after I read about her, I fell in love even more. I was underage at the time, so my mom was the one to fill out the adoption forms and whatnot, and I almost cried when I found out we were the family to adopt her. When we picked Luna up, I was a little sad, because we were taking her away from her brother, who was going to his new home later that day, but I was so happy to finally meet her in person. She was so sweet! The drive home was about 4 hours long, so every so often we stopped to see if Luna had to use the bathroom. I can't help but smile because every time we stopped, I'd set Luna on the grass, and she immediately just sat down and looked up at me. Once we got home, she still wouldn't go on the grass, but she ended up finally using the bathroom, even though it was on the rug! Now, Luna is still a sweet, loving, and playful dog. She's my best friend, and loves to cuddle with me every morning before we get out of bed to start the day. She absolutely loves every person and every animal she meets. Surprisingly, she loves to go to the vet's office... her doctor and a certain vet tech are two of her favorite people! She's such a character and makes me smile every single day. When she gets excited, she'll grab a toy in her mouth and wag her tail... normally she does this when she hears someone heading her way. When there's a thunderstorm, she'll try hiding underneath the couch, even though she doesn't fit at all... her whole body aside from her head sticks out! Once in a while, she'll even try to sit on my lap, though she's a whopping 70 pounds! I honestly couldn't imagine being without Luna. The days wouldn't be half as good as they are if I didn't wake up with her by my side. She's part of my family, and I wouldn't have it any other way!
