Peanut

Harriett,

Not sure if you remember me, but you helped us adopt a boxer mix about a year ago that we called Peanut. I am happy to say that Peanut is doing great and an integral part of our family. Peanut being a typical boxer loves to be busy and has a ton of energy. I have attached a photo of Peanut from the day we brought her home and one from Christmas... A little difference!
Thank you,
John Clohessy

Bruno

Hi Harriett,

Here are the pictures of Shea and Bruno that you asked for. Thank you so much - he's great!

Daisy (Ursula)

Dear Harriet,

Just a note to tell you the good news that Daisy was tested for heartworm this week and that the test was negative. She already had her first vacation with us and spent Thanksgiving on the beach in Florida. She is such a great dog and we could not be happier having her in our life. She is now part of a 3-dog family, because we adopted another rescue dog (also heartworm positive) 3 weeks ago. The same size and age as Daisy, so they are a good match.

We still look often at your website and wish you all the best with your dog rescues in 2012.

Warm regards,
Geert-Jan & Margreet

Mochi (Shelby)

Hi Harriett!

We're doing great! We have re-named her Mochi (pronounced "Moe-Chee") and she responds to it! We are teaching her basic commands, but after the craziness of the holidays, I plan to take her to obedience training. Everyone who meets her thinks she's so cute and sweet, she is a great companion for me to bring everywhere I go.

She has adjusted really well, our other dog is starting to cuddle with her, and I am still in love with her sweet personality.

Wellpet Humane has said nothing but great things about you, and I've run into people who have adopted from Ruffus Rescue and they also have great things to say about you! Thank you for your services and dedication to our furry companions who have no voice. Thank you for saving Mochi's life so we can enjoy it for many years to come! Happy Thanksgiving! :)

Wrigley

Hi Harriett!

We absolutely love this dog! He has been wonderful from day 1! He adores the kids and stands over them to protect (maybe trying to dominate?? haha, who knows! What's your take on that?). He does not leave the yard as long as I'm outside and he doesn't even pick fights! He has started playing with toys just this week, only sometimes but getting better every week. He has really come out of his shell and I can actually see happiness in his eyes :)

I just wanted to send you a picture of him sitting with the bunny. He only got excited about him one time but never lunges toward him and backs away just at the word "no". We can't wait to formally adopt him. Just let me know when.

Sam

Hi Harriett,

Here’s a picture of Sam from his trip to the beach this summer. We are just crazy about him!

Nelson

I had to show you this… (attached). This week, Pete is working on-location — his 1st week away during the day since having Matrix at home. We're having him (Matrix, not Pete) spend the days at Barking Hound Village and he seems to be having fun. Today he made their Facebook page, which I had to snap and send to you — I can't believe he posed for this when it took us 12 shots just to get him in-focus!

We're calling him Nelson, Gracie's choice, to help her feel that she has more say-so about him being here. They're getting along really well, and we love having him here. Last night he woke us all up when he heard outside noises — a hopeful sign that he's feeling at home.

Take care, I hope you're finding a lot of other great pets new homes!
