Harold

Hi Harriett,

Hope you had a nice Christmas. Just wanted to let you know Harry is doing well, getting along fine now with our other Bullie, save the occasional chew toy wrestling match. I still cannot believe someone would let such a fine animal go. Anyway, here is a pic of both of them. Have a nice New Year and thank you for your noble efforts in rescuing these animals! Mike Riley

Mowgli (Gretel)

Dear Harriett,

I know you must receive hundreds of wonderful letters regarding how blessed families are because you have added so much joy to their lives, well, here goes another.

You are such a remarkable and amazing person. I want you to know how much our dog and friend Mowgli means to our family. She makes us laugh everyday. She camps with us, goes on all of our vacations with us and even has her own seat at our kitchen table, minds her manners too! When weather permits, Mowgli is in the car on all errands and has just become like my shadow. I work from home and she is just as much a part of me as we are a part of her. In fact, we just can’t imagine life without our Mowgli. My son plays football and she is right there on the sidelines cheering with us.

I have to admit, when you first introduced us to Mowgli, her name was “Gretel” and she was so different looking we couldn’t even tell she was a Boxer. We had agreed to just foster her as she had full blown heartworms and was in fact, fainting due to the extent of her illness. After 24 hours of “fostering” her, the entire family was in love with Mowgli and there was no turning back.

With your knowledge, effort and tireless determination you were able to find a vet that agreed to help us rid Mowgli of her heartworms even in such an advance stage. A few months later, Mowgli was heartworm free and as healthy as a dog should be. Thanks to you we are looking forward to many happy years together.

I have attached a few photos and as you can see there is no question Mowgli is gorgeous but her heart is even more gorgeous and her personality even more!

Thank you ever so much for such a beautiful gift. I admire you for your dedication and relentless determination in giving a voice to all of these animals.

Rosie (Brownie)

Harriett,

Just wanted to let you know that Rosie is doing great. She appears to have no issues resulting from heartworm treatment and is now 100% housetrained and even sleeps all night. Rosie still loves everyone she meets--people and dogs, car rides, fetch and walks and simply loves to play almost as much as she loves food. We give Charley Bears, fruits and veggies for snacks and have found nothing that displeases her--her food motivation is great for training. She is a perfect house pet and companion and is as sweet as ever. We are looking forward to a long life with her.

Attached are some pics.

Happy New Year,
Michelle

Bailey

Merry Christmas Harriett!

Here is a picture of Bailey sitting beside our Christmas tree. Bailey is the most wonderful, loyal and loving dog ever (since Pepper). He is the only gift I asked for for Christmas! He is at home and doing quite well. Getting along so well with our senior pup Pepper. Thank you so very much!

Dori


Hi Harriett,

Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for placing Dori (formerly Candace) with us back in August. She is so sweet and gentle and is just the love of our lives!!! I had to share a few photos of her with you so that you can see what a lovely pup she's grown up to be. She will be 7 months old on Jan. 3rd! Can't believe how the time has flown!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your crew!
