Michael and I adore her and her mohawk!

Iggy did so great on the move. They all did – 2 dogs and 2 cats. 3400 miles in an SUV. 8 hotels. Then a VRBO for 11 days and then an extended stay hotel for a weeks Whew! They love the new house and almost half acre of land. Iggy also loves chasing all of the critters in the yard. Can’t wait for them to see snow!”

“Hi JoAnn, 
Thank you for finding me my forever home! The past 5 weeks have been the most glorious weeks of my life. I am overloaded with toys and so much luv. I go on many walks a day, play til I drop and I get to sleep on mommy and daddy’s bed at nite. I couldn’t ask for more. I’m the happiest dog ever!

Thank you again,
Zoey”

From Henry’s amazing mom: 

“Hi just wanted to let you know I had to put Henry to sleep Tuesday:( He only had two good legs and hurt the back one Sunday chasing a squirrel causing a fracture and blown out knee. Henry’s other legs would not have supported him having surgery. 
Like my vet said, Henry did what he loved to do and was loved these last years.
“I always told Henry, you only have 2 good legs left, you better slow it down!! Nope, not with squirrels it was his favorite thing and always go time!!!”

🌈Rest In Peace dear, sweet, Henry. Until you and your mom meet again. You will always be in her heart and loving thoughts 🌈

Pupdate: Hamilton

🐾💕GOOD NEWS PUPDATE FROM HAMILTON’S MOM🐾💕

“Just wanted to touch base with you and give you a little update on our Hamilton! I can’t believe it’s been 4 months with our boy, really feels like he’s always been a part of our family! Hamilton is such a love, and has made our lives 100x better. Hamilton spends a lot of time with his best friend Maggie, my parents standard poodle, they became inseparable from day 1! Hamilton has become quite the daddys boy, he gets so excited when Luis gets home and doesn’t settle down until Luis lifts him up and cuddles him like a baby. Hamilton loves the dog park and we try to go at least 2-3 times a week for him to have a good run and make new friends. We have been working virtually with a trainer, because of the virus, and Hamilton has become much more of a gentleman. His barking has improved and walking on a leash is getting much better! Our boy had his first good grooming and looks like a new boy, his shorter haircut also revealed a heart shape on his chest! 
Hamilton has really been such a great distraction and comfort for both of us. He keeps me laughing everyday with his antics. Dogs really are so special and such a gift! I am so thankful for your rescue group for bringing my boy to me ❤️“
