Bella formerly Darma

img_0369.JPGimg_0307.JPG

Bella the former Darma is doing wonderfully now and living in Hilton Head, she has a great Golden dog pal to keep her busy. She has turned into a beautiful dog with a loving personality. Darma was a puppy mill seizure dog that had never set foot on grass till she came to the ARPH program, she was shy, and scared of everything but today she is a happy healthy and much loved family member to the Rocco family. Her sister also lives in the Savannah area!

Tuscany

img_7137.JPG

I was looking at my pictures and I saw this one of Tuscany.  I thought I would send it to you so you could see he is a happy guy, loving life with his new family.  He is no doubt sitting here waiting to remind the neighborhood he is king of this hill with a friendly bark.

 

Tuscany is a joy to our family!  He has so much gentle love and appreciation for the small stuff in life.  He reminds us often to not sweat the small stuff.  Kim, we are constantly reminded that someone, somewhere in his life took the time to have him sit and shake.  He often when asked to sit offers his left paw as if he is ready to shake.  This is something this old dog has never forgotten.  Funny thing is I remember your story when listed for adoption is his offering his paw was what saved his life.

 

Thank you again for all your time and talent in helping God’s great gifts of rescued dogs.  He is truly a blessing in our life and we thank you for making this possible.

 

Mick 9007

Time has slipped by and I hadn’t thought to keep you informed.  Mick is healthy, happy, and I believe he will always act like a puppy.  I’ve attached the last professional picture I had taken of him even though I have plenty of others I’ve taken myself.  His foster parents would probably like to see the picture, too, whenever you see them. There are many, many dogs in this subdivision and he’s made friends with some of them.  Deer roam freely and he’s curious every time he catches a whiff when they come into the front yard.

Savannah

I just wanted to give you an update on Savannah (AKA Kola).  She is now 4.5 years old and today we finally got around to getting our first two Agility titles and the best part is that it was at a ASCA show in VA.  She is such a natural talent.

Anyway, she’s a great dog and I couldn’t adore her more.  I’ve attached a couple photos, keep in mind I shave her for summer so she looks thin coated!

Zephyr 10715

zephyr-new.jpg

Hello there to our friends at ARPH! Just wanted to give you guys a quick update on the beautiful Aussie that we adopted a few months ago. We have since re-named Zephyr to Copper and have been loving every minute spent with her. Our other dog, Baker, gets along great with her…they have been side by side ever since we first saw Copper. She has kicked the habit of being aggressive when feeding and has made a 180* turn around since we brought her home. She’s opened up so much, even greets strangers with a wagging tail. Although we have discovered that she does get a bit car-sick, we try to take frequent pit-stops on road trips up to the mountains, lake, etc… I have never witnessed such a loving, sweet, innocent soul as her. We truly feel blessed to have her as part of our family. Attached are a few current pictures, please enjoy them. In a couple of weeks we will be taking a trip to Outerbanks, NC and the dogs will have their first beach experience!
