Here is Milo out for a drive in his new convertible along with the rest of his family!    

I adopted Sprocket  nearly two years ago.  He is the most amazing dog and we have formed a very strong bond.  He is a very friendly and agreeable dog who loves everyone - people, other dogs, and even cats.  He is such a happy dog and his happiness is contagious.  I can't imagine life without him.  We've begun to do some off-leash walking - for the longest time I was too scared of losiing him to let him off his leash.  But we have come to trust each other and now we enjoy walks together without the nuisance of a leash (except where needed, like near busy streets).  He has become my best friend.  Thanks again NASAP (and Carol and  Dave) for giving me the opportunity to share my life with such a great dog!

Hello, just in case you were wondering how he has turned out, Auzzie is
about knee-high, with loads of energy.  Every one loves him, I knew they
would.  He still let's me pick him up sometimes and he and the cat are
great buds.
We've taken him camping and to the lake, he had loads of fun on the
beach plays in the water, bites at the waves chases the ducks and barks
at the deer.  He is very very fast, and extremely agile.  He can be off
leash some of the time, he gets on well with dogs he meets providing
every one else is off their leashes.  When he is on his leash it's
another story, stretches as far as it goes and gets pretty vocal.
He's greets everyone at the door and that makes us all feel good. He
stays when told, and down isn't mastered yet, but things are progressing
as fast as we like it.

Hi my kids and I adopted Sailor more than two years ago.  I wanted to update you on him and thank you for taking such good care of him for us.  We changed his name to Sonic as soon as we got home and within two days, he was responding to his new name.  Sonic is very smart and makes us laugh everyday.  He is so funny and affectionate and a very well mannered boy.  He gets along well with his brother Shadow and all of our friends' dogs who come to visit.  We are so glad to have him and he is very happy with us since he has five teenagers, a brother and two cats to play with!!!  I cannot believe that anyone would ever give him away, but we are so blessed that someone did.  Sonic sleeps with whoever is in bed first and even likes to sleep under the blankets when it is cold!  He is a very lucky boy, almost as lucky as we are to have him in our lives.

Thank you again for taking care of him for us, we will forever be grateful.

PS  here is a picture of Sonic and I out for a walk on the river valley trails in February.

Hello! It's the Russell family. We are happy to announce Snax 
(formerly known as Mork) is fitting in with our family perfectly. He 
follows us around the house and has mastered walking down the 
staircase as well as up. Which is fortunate for us because he's 
getting heavy. He's warming up to his crate and not crying as much 
when we leave him alone. He loves taking naps with us in the family room and playing with all his great toys. Snax is having less 
accidents in the house and loves our big back yard. He seems 
interested in the birds in the yard, especially the baby ducks. But he doesn't get too close, he seems to just enjoy watching. Snax is 
learning his new name and I have taught him how to sit. He has his first vet check this week and is getting better in the car. We love Snax and are so happy to have him in our family.
Update June 30:   Hey?  The Russell family again.  Just thought I would update Snax's progress.  He has almost completely stoopped crying when left alone.  He has gained almost eight pounds in the three weeks we have had him!  He is very happy and enjoys chasing the birds in the yard.  We love to have him around and he loves meeting all the people we have over to see him.

Cinder is doing sooo good here in our home.  She took immeditely to the kids and only a few days to establish rank with our other cat, Dante (she lost).  It took a while longer for her to accept our Aussie dog, Dakotah, but now puts up with her antics.  Dante and Cinder are close friends and hang out together all day and night. They share grooming duties and cuddle all the time!  She is a very quiet, perfectly behaved little girl.  She weighs almost 5 pounds now and is very long and lean with a fluffy tail.  She had her spay this past week and did well with the surgery and post recovery.  We named her Cinder (Cinderella) because her two sisters were so beautiful and perfect and Cinder was, well, not quite as "pretty".  She also has these off "tufts" of hair behind her ears, kind of like a lizard.   Also because of the black on her face, it was as though she had been rooting through the soot in the fireplace!   Thank you for this wonderful addition to our family.
Trina, Cole, Jaide, Dante and Dakotah!

p.s. our other cat, Dante, is featured in the picture.  Dante is a big (13 lbs) fluffy boy and next to Cinder looks huge, but he is very gentle and patient with Cinder.  Too cute!!

Petula is doing great. She was very shy and timid when she moved in, but she soon came out of her shell (although she still hides under the bed if someone new comes into the house). She is full of energy and is always talking and looking to play. She carries her favourite toy around and drops it at my feet to let me know that it is time to play. If I throw it, she will fetch it and bring it back to me! She's also very cuddly and purrs a lot. She is getting along well with Mia, my original cat. They seem to enjoy each other's company and chase each other all over (usually with Petula chasing Mia). I think Petula has grown a little and has gained a bit of weight since I adopted her, but she is still very petite. She is eating hypoallergenic cat food (duck is her favourite) and is no longer scratching her ears and neck. Overall, Petula has been a wonderful addition to my home - she is such a sweetie. Thank you so much for rescuing her!
