Phoebe (formerly Roxanne)

Dear APR - I can't believe it has been a year already! And what a wonderful year we have had!!! We play and laugh and watch TV;I especially like when "Dogs" is on! My mama and I love each other very much and we talk all of the time. I don't know if you remember, but I love to talk! I have attached a few pics of me, on the couch, sleeping, watching people and just hanging out. I just got a new bed and toys to celebrate my anniversary. One more thing...I love to be in the car! It doesn't even have to be going anywhere!

Love always - Phoebe (fka Roxanne) & Miki

Monty (formerly Merlin)

Hi there, we adopted the terrier mix Merlin there last week and just wanted to give you an update on how he's doing. He is fitting in to our home perfectly- he and our other dog Hutch have quickly become best friends- they run and roll around together playing and chasing each other around the backyard all the time. Hutch had become a little depressed recently when our other dog passed away at 16 years old so it's so nice to see Hutch happy again- we can tell he really loves his new brother. Merlin (we did change his name to Monty though) is even getting along well enough with our cats- our little deaf one in particular likes him a lot and tried to get him to chase him around the house- it's really very cute. I'm attaching a couple of pics.

Ollie

I adopted Ollie (once known as Harley) a few months ago. I already had 2 Chihuahua's and when I saw him on line I just had to meet him. He has become the 5lb. "Boss" around the house and is not afraid of anything. He walks like he's Big Stuff. He does bite the ankles of people that come to visit, I think he just wants to show them who rules the roost but we are working on this :) His favorite thing is sunning on the deck on his big fluffy pillow Thank you so much for allowing me to make him apart of my pack.

Jenny

We adopted Jenna (her name name is Jenny) a month ago and she is doing great. she is a great dog and well trained. She has gotten used to our routine and we are all enjoying her so much. She is so sweet and always want to please us. We are so grateful to APR for all their help and especially Amy in finding the perfect pet for us.

Saucy

Hi APR! We adopted Saucy just before Christmas last year, and she has been a wonderful addition to our home! Saucy runs with us to and from Piedmont Park several times a week, and she ran her first race (the JLA ShamRock N Roll race) with us this morning. Saucy loves to meet other dogs (she feels most comfortable around bigger dogs), but loves being an only puppy at home. She's excited about having a kitty sister, but we're still negotiating a permanent puppy/kitty peace accord. Saucy loves to go on long runs with us, but also loves to curl up and sleep quietly at my feet while I'm working at the computer. We're looking forward to moving to a new house with a fenced yard for Saucy to play in soon!

Thank you APR!

Irene at Home

Irene seems to like her new home! My son decided to rename her Slinky (after the dog in the movie Toy Story). She is a very smart dog! She's learning to sit and stay. We work on her tricks and obedience during a couple of training sessions each day. Most days we take a walk around the neighborhood. She has a lot of energy. My kids love to play with her in the backyard!

I took her to the vet today where she received a clean bill of health - yay! I wanted to say a special thank you to all of the people at Atlanta Pet Rescue and to the sponsors that paid her vet bills before we adopted her. She had a rough start in life, and I realize how lucky my family and I are to have her with us! I am very thankful to those kind souls who took her under their wings when she was so sick. To look at her today, you would never know that she was sick a day in her life. Please know that you have made a huge impact in Slinky's life and in ours.

As I was watching my son and daughter laugh and play with her yesterday, I was reminded of the pet that I had and loved as a child. I look forward to my kids forming a bond with Slinky that they will treasure for the rest of their lives.

Thank you!!!!
Claire

Miss VV

Thank you so much for this wonderful little girl. She is Miss VV, aka Velvet. She loves to go on our walks, and walks 3 miles everyday. Each walk is 1 mile and I wasn't sure she could do it with those short little legs, but she loves it! She loves to walk with her sister, Maesey, and she loves to go to the lake. Velvet tries to play with the geese and can't understand why they run and fly away.

Velvet enjoys our neighborhood and all the people and dogs here. She has made lots of new friends, and everything is fine as long as they understand this is her street, her house, her Sister and her Mom. There's alot of courage in that little body!

VV takes joy in everything we do and it so special to see. Like all rescues, she appreciates her life and makes the most of each day. She has opened my heart after losing Flynn, and she has taught me how to love again. Thanks to all of you, and especially Gigi, for bringing us together.
