Missy -- Graduate Dog

Debbie, Misty (we decided to change her name to Misty) is doing great. She is a super happy pup, who just loves to play and be around us. We brought her up to my parents house for christmas and she got along with everyone great and they all loved her. She is getting along with the cats pretty well, mostly the cats are just learning who she is. So everything is going great with her and look to only get better in the future. Mike

Tessa’s Tail: Hi! My name is Tessa, and I wanted to share a little bit about my story, so you can all see what great work Reach Out Rescue is doing… I’m only a year old, but I’ve already been in my 4-ever home for a few months now, thanks to Libby and the folks she works with. Honestly, I don’t remember much anymore about the “before” time. I only know that somehow I ended up in the clink, just for wandering around looking for food. They were going to gas me, I think!!! I couldn’t figure out why, though. I realize every dog says this, but I really am a total bundle of irresistible love. Why people weren’t lining up for a few minutes of my heartwarming company I’ll never know… Any-howl, Libby heard about me – my beauty, intelligence and outstanding disposition – and immediately thought of her friend LiLi, who was looking for a companion for her Rottie Jon-Jon. Poor ole’ Jon-Jon had some… er… “personality issues”, and needed a nice, mellow dog to take his lead from. The next thing I knew, I was sprung out of jail, catching a ride with Libby to my future with my new mom. Admittedly, Jon-Jon was initially somewhat traumatized by having a new sister around. (I’ve since learned that nearly everything traumatizes Jon-Jon: what a WUSS!) For the first few hours after I got home, he sat in a corner staring at the wall, casting occasional doleful glances over his shoulder to see if I was still there. Lucky for me, one of the many advantages to being a 7-month-old puppy is a poor grasp of subtle social cues, so his less-than-welcoming attitude went right over my ears, thank goodness. I just kept on a’comin’ til he relented and agreed to play with me! These days my life is pretty sweet. Jon-Jon’s adjusted to me, and we have a great time together. I visit a nearby dog park and play with all kinds of dogs there several times a week. I just LOVE ALL DOGS! The only thing I love MORE than dogs are people. I am famous for curling up on the couch to snuggle whoever happens to be there. My mom says I am the all-time sweetest dog she’s ever known. If I weren’t an all-black German shepherd, I’d be blushing at this next part. My mom wants people out there to know what great dogs rescues can be. She wants me to tell you all that I have given her so much joy just by being me. (I’ve also eaten a LOT of shoes, but that’s another story…) So the next time you think about bringing a puppy home, remember to check with Libby. Seriously, she’ll hook you up! ;-) Respectfully Submitted, Tessa the Dog

Hi friends, Just wanted to drop you a line and tell you about my new family -- they are wrapped around my cute furry little paws. Today they finished putting up a dog fence that gives me just under 2 acres of open space to run and play. My kid and my new furry pals are enjoying it alot. Speaking of which I am attaching some photos so you can see them for yourself. My BFF Java and I run and play tag, keep away and have some great wrestling matches, and my kid, Regan, lets me sleep in her bed and plays ball with me everyday. Have a great New Year... Jordy

George

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Thank you for the wonderful addition to our family! George is such a delight and so good with the children. He is so happy to meet new people and animals and enjoys trips in the car. He is like our third child and we could not ask for a better, more well behaved dog. We renamed him Crosby after the hockey player Sidney Crosby and he loves the sport as much as we do. He even jumps on tables to get the balls. He also sleeps on the top of the sofa to take his naps. I think he sometimes thinks he is a cat. I have attached a few pictures and want to thank you again! If we ever get another dog, we will certainly be contacting you!!
