Rosie

Sorry for the delay in replying. Rosie is a joy, although she is still having trouble figuring out that our house is not one giant bathroom. She also still chews almost everything; we've tried a number of dog toys and treats but she can chew a $10 dog toy to shreds in a matter of minutes. She can chew a Kong to pieces! A bull pizzle lasts only a little longer. We're hoping she'll outgrow her taste for leather shoes. Rosie gets along well with our older dog, Nellie (also a rescue, but from SNAP). They like to be together and often lie down next to each other (see pictures). She's very affectionate with people, too, and my teens and their friends love her. She loves to let them pick her up; she's learned to "hug" them with her front paws. She gets so excited when one of us comes home after being out for a few hours. We certainly have no regrets about adopting Rosie, and we are very happy that she's part of our family.

Marky (now Lycan)

Marky (now Lycan) Image

Our puppy Marky, who we renamed Lycan, is doing great! He was extremely easy to house-train (which is always nice) and only had two accidents inside! He loves coming everywhere with us, car rides and walks, and September long weekend my husband and I took him to Banff with us. He had so much fun hiking and trying to catch squirrels. He recently graduated from the Puppy Basics class at The Edmonton Humane Society and is currently attending Puppy Intermediate there. He is an extremely smart dog and easy to train because he's so food motivated. He got to try out some agility equipment during the last class of Puppy Basics and he took right to it! No fear at all (even of the tippy board). So once he's old enough we want to put him in agility classes as well. His neutering surgery is scheduled for September 27th, so once that is complete I will fax the certificate as you requested.We love having Lycan in our family and have all been having so much fun together. We're so glad we got the chance to give Lycan a forever home!

We adopted out cat, Blossom, in May and want to report that she is absolutely AWESOME!!!  She has blended in  great right from the very first day!  She is best friends not only with us but also with our dog.  We could not have asked for a better addition to our family!!  Thank you to Laura - her "foster home" mother that we picked Blossom up from, and also to NASAP!!

Patch (now Titan)

Titan is doing very well. He had grown lots. He loves going to the dog park with our other dog. He wants to play with a cat Martin so badly but Martin still doesn't have the patience for him. When he first came to us he was alittle antisocial and didn't want to cuddle. Now he doesn't know the meaning of personal space..lol. We enjoy and love him in our family very much. Thank you for all you do with the animals at NASAP.

Precious (now Portia)

Portia is doing really well.   When I first got her, she didn't walk much and had difficulty with stairs ... we go on at least 3 walks a day and she is good with the stairs.  She is still a little shy around some people but she loves other dogs and my cat and is a quiet well behaved sweet dog.  She likes to just hang out.   We all love her even though only rarely does she show much affection, but when she does, it's wonderful to see.  She is very well cared for and gets a lot of affection from our family.

Tulip

Tulip Image

Tulip is doing great. We refer to her as our puppy cat because she likes to chase her tail. My husband calls her his little sweetheart. She keeps us quite entertained with her antics. And she's fantastic with people who come to the house to visit. In May we had a birthday party for my sister and had 30 friends and family come to help us celebrate. Tulip was there to greet
everyone at the door. She was really good with the adults and kids. She helps me get ready for work every morning and runs to the door to say hello when we get home. She won't go outside, even when we leave the doors wide open. Which makes me happy. She's quite content to supervise from a nearby window when we're out doing yard work. She's also discovered that the pillow and blanket Jack leaves on the couch in the family room are a very comfy place to have an afternoon nap. I've included a couple of pictures. Our veterinarian, Dr Lamberink, tested Tulip for the bite she'd received on her front paw and the results were good. She's been wonderful addition to our home. Many thanks to you and everyone at NASAP for all your hard work, we really appreciate all you do.

Hank

Hank Image

Hank is doing fine in our home.  The first three months with us were very hard for Hank ... he was very nervous.  If we had to leave him (which wasn't very often) or if we took him out in the car he would be very scared.  We have done our best to help him feel safe and loved and it seems to be working.  He has been doing very well since we took him on holidays with us in Mid July.  He is now responding to training much easier and I'm sure as time goes on his confidence and behaviour will improve even more.  We are very happy to have Hank in our home.  He is a very cuddly little lap dog, which suits us very well.  Many thanks to Brigitte with regard to fostering and assisting with the adoption of Hank.  Good work NASAP!!

Pebbles (now Charlie)

Charlie is doing great!  I honestly get stopped all the time with people asking what kind of dog he is - most people think he's a sheepdog.  He is very good and loves his walks - so great with the kids!  The night we were without him when he was at the vets being neutered just made the house feel empty.   He is just turning out to be the most awesome dog!
