This little bundle of joy is now safe, happy and running the house.  He is a cute, sweet little guy!

We are just so happy to have him here.  We love him to pieces.

Danny, adopted by Julie and Adriana.

I am attaching a picture of our new Cavalier King Charles that we named Benjamin. As you can see, Daisy,our #1 dog is learning to share with her adopted brother. Daisy was an only dog for many years and we spoiled her. However, she is politely tolerant of her little brother and put up well with him. Both these dogs were adopted. Daisy came from a shelter and Benjamin was a rescue. Both are wonderful dogs. As we both know, there are many more wonderful animals available in shelters and rescue groups that are looking for homes.
Thank you again for helping with Benjamin’s adoption.

I wanted to let you know what a wonderful weekend we had with Nella. She is an amazing dog who has changed our lives. She has such a loving disposition and is friendly to everyone she meets. Our neighbors have already fallen for her and ask us regularly about her progress. We spent all day Friday hanging around the house and getting to know her. She was so content just spending time with us and following us every where we went. She made friends very quickly with our neighbors’ dogs and just seemed like she wanted to play. On Friday evening we went down to a friend of ours who has a black lab, she has been desperate for a friend, well they hit off immediately and played for hours. She ran and ran and ran and ran. She ran herself into exhaustion and slept through the night with no problems. We bought her a dog bed and positioned it right next to our bed. On Saturday we had some friends over for a barbecue. One of our friends has two young children who are three years old and ten months old. Nella adored them both and allowed Cal, the three year old to pet her and play with her all evening. He played catch and wrestled with her all evening long and asked if he could bring Nella to his house to meet his dog Iger. Saturday night went just as well as Friday night with Nella sleeping through the night. It is obvious that she, like her father, enjoys her sleep. We actually had a hard time getting her motivated to start the day on Sunday. We walked her first thing in the morning and she went right back to bed. She was not ready to start her day, but as soon as we went down the stairs she followed. Sunday was spent at Gedney Park where she is allowed to be unleashed to play with other dogs and boy did she play! We spent six hours at the park and she played with every dog in sight. A couple dogs did not approve of her playful spirit and high energy but she learned very quickly who her friends were. It was a good learning experience for her and she loved running around. It was interesting how she would always check to see where we were and she never strayed far. When we found a comfortable place to sit in the shade she did her usual snuggle routine and slept on our laps. Heather said she always wanted a needy, loving dog and we definately have that with Nella. She loves to show affection and appreciation by giving kisses. She is happy with what ever she is doing as long as she is with us and thats what makes her so special. Nella truly appreciates being loved and is evident in her loyalty and willingness to please. She has already learned the heal, sit, stay and come commands with not a whole lot of practice. She will be an expert in a few more weeks. Nella is the perfect dog for us in so many ways and we want to thank you for saving her life. Without your love for her we would not have experienced this joy. It continues to amaze me that someone could actually abandoned her and it hurts to think how frieghtened she must have been particularly knowing how loyal and loving she is. We are happier than words can describe with Nella and we owe our happiness to you. What you did for her was an incredible act of kindness and Knowing Nella, she will never forget you. The invitation is always open for you if you ever want to see her. I am sure she would love to see you. We both want to thank you from the bottom of hearts for filling our life with so much joy. She has lifted our spirits and brightened our days and we look forward to many years with her. Thank you again for all that you have done.
Sincerly,
Mark, Heather & Nella

I was a bit apprehensive but everything has been great. Rambo is quite a bit larger than our little girl Lhasa but he’s so loving and sweet! He loves us both so much — doesn’t let us get too far away. I think he’s still unsure of where his permanent home will be but I know he sure likes us! ….We can’t thank you enough for giving us a pet to love but also a homeless one to care for. We missed that so much (a little one around). I”ve told a lot of people who love pets about your good work - many knew nothing about rescue - so maybe more people will do as we did. Please accept our sincere gratitude for all the work this adoption took and for fulfilling our need and those of Rambo……….and God bless you”

They just love him. The 12 year old son has really taken an interest in Jake. He wakes up extra early every morning so he can walk him and comes straight home from school to walk him - totally voluntary. He has taught Jake how to play tether ball. Jake actually jumps up and hits the ball to Ian and Ian hits it back. Lois, the mom, said to me, “I am a single mom and Ian has no father figure. Jake has made his life complete.” And let me tell you, they have made Jake’s life complete!”

]]> http://www.friendsofyas.com/archives/22/feed/ Mason http://www.friendsofyas.com/archives/36 http://www.friendsofyas.com/archives/36#comments Tue, 14 Nov 2006 19:08:11 +0000 admin Testimonials http://server.plusfive.info/~yastest/archives/36 Julie, and Dora-Lynn,
First of all I want to thank you for the recommendation to adopt Mason. While searching petfinder.com, sporadically (well over a year), finally, the sparks flew. I saw Mason’s picture and fell in love. I looked at him for several days and finally sent an inquiry. It had taken years to finally try to fill that void that my Susie (German Shepherd) had left. To make a long story short, after you and Dora-Lynn made the home visit and recommendation, on Mother’s Day weekend, I traveled 3 hours to pick up Mason. He got in the car with my family, and it seems like he has been with us since the day he was born. The woman who was fostering him continually told me how good he was with children and her other pets, and that is the truth. He has brought such a warmth to our home. He is a wonderful addition to our family, and I’m so glad he’s with us.

Thanks again. Phyllis Green
