BooBoo aka The Great Yogini...  This fella came up w/his mom and siblings . . a tiny baby w/a stub tail.  Grown, he had legs like a jack rabbit . . the most wonderful guy . . now lives w/2 brothers also rescued from Quincy.
I had to share this photo of BooBoo doing his best yoga pose. He actually sleeps like this quite often.

These devoted brothers were lucky to come up on a rescue transport and have found a wonderful
forever home.

The boys are doing great! They are both so cuddly and love to chase each other! We have taken them on several road trips and they are very well behaved in the car.

Our beautiful Tommy and his new best friend.  It took a while, but now they're buds!
 
The boys are friends. Tommy on the bottom here ( not always the case!). This is from one of their cleaning sessions.

Hi Anne,
The little black one in the back is from you! The yellow one is from the breeder that Sue/I helped stop. Aren’t they darling?

Anne, here is a picture of Chase, having made himself at home on the end of the couch at his foster mom's home.
One of her other dogs (a puppy mill rescue dog) is in the foreground sleeping on the carpet, and one of the foster mom's old cats is sleeping on the back of the sofa. Kinda cute, huh?

Time for a Spring update.  Beulah with Fredericka in her "Feaster" bonnet!

As you can see by the photos, Beulah is thriving and adored by all of us. Our pond has dried up but hopefully with rain it will again return to provide joy and exercise for Beulah and Andy.We had no idea she would become a therapy dog so soon...but a month ago we found out my sister (and best friend) has pancreatic cancer. My mother died of the same at age 52. This has been devastating news and Beulah has played an important role in keeping me grounded. She truly is a therapy dog...she is so very precious, smart and totally adorable. She has bonded to both Bonita and me and gets along so well with Andy and Rover. She gets braver every day and today she enjoyed almost playing with a puppy at the dog park. When I went to visit my sister in Rhode Island for a week,  Beulah slept on my pillow every night which she had never done. She always sleeps in her crate at the foot of the bed. When I got home I was a bit worried she would not readily give up her place in the bed but I need not have worried. She went right back to her habit of sleeping in her crate. In the morning she joins us for coffee in bed.We are so very glad we have Beulah at this most difficult time in our lives.

Here is a picture of our Trix (Trixie).  She just had her 3rd birthday!  Kevin and his girlfriend spoil her rotten!  She is VERY loved and is living a very good life.  Just thought you would like to see what she looks like all grown up.  He got her from you when she was not quite a year old yet.  Thanks Anne and Jenny!  I LOVE her too, of course!  He’s doing everything right by her, taking her to classes, exercising her, socializing her, etc.  She is very loved.  She got a doggie donut for her birthday and wasn’t sure if it was something she was supposed to have, but she finally ate it and liked it.  Thanks again for getting her into our lives!

Neo is the big guy Ernie took when he was deemed too difficult to readopt (given to animal control instead of back to us).  Shy, black & big, Sandi stopped bringing him in on her rotation.  Ernie took him b/c he deserved a loving home.  He's learning to blend in w/the other cats. 
 
The orange is Jack . . who came up w/Rufus the 3 legged cat several years ago.  Ernie & Jim fostered both of them and he said unless they went together he wouldn't part w/them.  Obviously, there wasn't a long line waiting for two boys displaying the ravages of our society.  Rufus was loved until his mouth cancer got the best of him.

This is a Quincy flood cat.  Hated coming out for adoptions.  Wouldn't go into the room.  He's a buster w/the other cats but adores Ernie & Jim.

As you can see by the pic, they are happy cats! 

Burly (right) is doing "wooftastic" in his forever home and continues to impress me each day with his training and loving personality.

Burly completed his 3-month Beginner’s Group Obedience Class at Rand Park Training Club in Des Plaines last month, and we’re currently enrolled in Advanced Beginners through May. It's exhausting for both of us, but we've learned so much, even the trainers compliment me on his progress. DePaw and Chad helped build the foundation of his training by teaching him to sit, stay, leave it and walk on a leash. Some of the tricks he now does are: paw, down, spin, roll over, finish, watch me, stand, circle left or right, come and beg! He’s getting a lot better at ignoring distractions and focusing on Mom. Burly’s new teacher is so impressed with his skills, he actually asked if we’re going to be in Obedience or Agility Competition. I'm just happy with him being a great example for his breed and a good canine citizen. He is setting a fantastic example for his misunderstood breed, as well as being an animal activist. It's hard to believe he nearly lost his life and never had the chance to thrive. Thank you all so much! :)

This nice couple were looking for a companion for their young girl and our sweet Marek was just the fella.
As his card said, he is Belle's boy from her 2nd litter.  She came from Quincy w/Bob, Bobbie & Bette and we later found out she was pregnant when she came up . . and gifted Marel w/Marek, Mila & Macy.

Sammy was transported to safety just in time to give birth to 8 puppies! We didn't think she was so close to delivering when she was transported. 

Little Lydia came unannounced on the Quincy transport when we received Greya & Brenda.  I knew I was getting two . . and a third carrier appeared w/her precious little face looking up at me.  Later learned she had come into animal control late Fri  . .  no body remembers if she was a give up or abandoned.  I have to believe she was a relinquished pet.  The transport coordinator said "send the cats" not knowing Lydia was there . . so luckily she came too!  A joy to foster, it was very difficult leaving her Sat; but, I knew she'd be going home the next day w/Janet & Maria and wouldn't have to be there long.  Lucky Lydia has a loving home.

Dominic is doing great. He seems very happy and content. He has met 3 other family members and he seemed to approve of them. More importantly he met the dog - Lu - the 8 year old Golden Retriever. The 2 got along great.  Dominic treated her as if he had grown up with her all along. He also met the cat who went to college but is back home on spring break - there is respect at a distance thus far for them both. I couldn't find him one day. I panicked and looked everywhere. Pat found him asleep in Pat's empty gym bag. We're loving our new furry friend. It feels like he has always been there. Have a good spring.

Both Greya and I are doing well. She's checking out everything in the house and seems to be very relaxed and comfortable. She and I have been watching TV together; she's even sat on my dad's lap for awhile. He's impressed. I need to take some photos with my camera so I can send over on the computer. I posted her picture on my facebook page and all my friends are in love :-) Thank you both so very much for making this possible. I have made an appointment for Friday with my Vet. I told them about her sniffles. They of course are very happy for me too. She had a very good night and slept by my side. I love that she readily jumps on my lap and gives head butts. She is making herself at home.

Ginger (now Penny) has been enjoying our apartment. She likes sleeping in our bed at night, and likes playing with ribbons, stings, and balls under our bed. She has met our other cat, Rocky, and they get along pretty well...a few fights though!  She enjoys eating dinner with us, and we now have her on adult cat food. We give her a little bit of wet food after we found her eating our other cat's. She still likes to be held, especially when we come home from work. She likes cuddling up with us on our necks, she's our little scarf! 

We hope you enjoy the pictures! Thank you so much for helping us find our perfect pal. 

We are TOTALLY SMITTEN with Beulah whom we have named Beulah May Velcro. May is to add a Southern touch to her name and to remind her she MAY stay with us forever. Her last name is Velcro and that probably does not need explanation. She has “Velcroed” herself to me yet continues to branch out each day. I will be gone to visit my sister for 4 days so she and Bonita will be home alone! I know they will do fine.

To celebrate Beulah’s one month anniversary we took her to get her teeth cleaned! We had been to the vet several times to desensitize her. One of the times they were talking about the fact that dogs hate to get on the scale. And as if on cue, Beulah started to run back and forth on the scale. It was quite hilarious. For her teeth cleaning I was allowed to stay with her when she received the first sedation and then I returned just as she was waking up. She is a “special needs” pup when it comes to anxiety and shyness so we were happy we could be with her.

Despite Beulah’s shyness we find her to be INCREDIBLY RESILIENT!!!!!! She is such a joy to watch her come into her own. Everyday we see improvements. Today she played with us at the neighbors…2 other dogs each over 120 lbs and 3 men! 

She is learning so much…a very smart dog and a quick start! She has an incredible “joie de vivre”. She is learning to heel whenever she is walking on the road with me. We are also teaching her to sit at the end of the driveway whenever we walk down. We are using clicker training which is so much fun for her and us. We have decided not to take her to classes yet as she is too fearful but she is an incredible learner. 

We do take her to the pet stores and the dog park on occasion. She, Andy, kitty Rover and the chickens are all getting along beautifully. We cannot express how well things are going and how happy we all are. She is a real gift in our lives. We thank you both for the care you provided her while she was waiting for us.

Thank you so much for the sweet email.  It is interesting how things work, isn't it?  We've been hiding from the kids the fact that we've been looking at adopting a cat for over a month or so.  Not sure how we pulled that one off but it apparently worked.  Andrew and Madelyn are very excited about Truffles but the main reason we thought about adoption was for Kelly and I.  We both absolutely adore 'all' animals and are looking forward to all that Truffles has to offer.  The love, support and care that we have for Truffles will be showered upon her immediately and for many years to come. We have already been making a few purchases for Truffles and are looking forward to her arrival.  With my carpentry skills and Andrew's imagination, he has already designed a custom 'cat tower' complete with a ramp, swinging tennis ball, climbing post and of course a nice cozy area in the middle for Truffles to take long naps in the sun.  As excited as we are about our trip to Mexico, Kelly and I are even more excited about picking up Truffles upon our return. 

Kelly wanted to be sure to let you know that she visited Truffles yesterday (wed) and put her patented "stamp" (kiss) on the inside card as well.  :-)

Roxie, the senior Shepherd girl we took from you folks earlier in the month had her bad eye removed on Monday (went well). We posted her for adoption yesterday, and by the end of the day she had a taker. Roxie goes to her new home in about 2 weeks when she's fully healed. We have a blog post up about her and a Chipin to help with her expenses, if you want to read more: http://www.safehousepets.org/roxies-new-life/

We're so happy for Roxie - she is a GREAT dog and it's been our pleasure to help her on her journey.

Manny, Flower and Tommy: three Quincy cats who are doing great in their furever homes!

I just wanted to touch base with you regarding Haas, the dog I was "supposed" to foster last February.  Hallie and Sue promised me they'd find a home for him in 3 weeks time.  You rescued him from Quincy. I'd never had a small dog and at 40 lbs., well, to me that's little.  I didn't think he'd be able to keep up when I run with my dogs and I didn't know anything about dogs under 85 lbs.  Silly me. Louie is a dynamo that's filled out nicely at 62 lbs. of solid muscle and gleaming coat and has absolutely no clue that he's not the same size as my other 2.  Sue Horn met the transport in Plainfield and drove him to me.  One look and I was done. He is now named Louie after the Dan Akroyd character in Trading Places because nobody wanted him either.  Louie is the sweetest, most lovable dog and I must say between my neice and her husband and whoever else meets Louie, they all want to take him home.  When he talks to my other guys you can't help but crack up.  He sounds exactly like Chewbaca in Star Wars.  Louie is doing great, loves being outside and as my "fostering" is coming to 1 year at the end of the month I wanted to share a couple of photos of him with you. The yellow lab in the photo is Jackson who also was from Sue and Hallie and he will be with us 2 years in June. Thank you for getting this special guy into our lives.

Thanks again for our new family member, Jerid.  It's been about a month, and now he is officially friends with his new brother, Thor.  They play and cuddle together on "the cheese wheel" - the piece of furniture in the photos. Jerid is always waiting for us to come home, and crawling into bed with us at night.  He has really come out of his shell and is super-playful! 

What a wonderful happy ending for a super cat that just "appeared" in an animal control cage!  Thanks to Jen for calling immediately and giving him the chance to hitch a ride the next day on the rescue transport!

We met Ginger when we went to Quincy to see the animal controls and meet the warden that works with us. She was relinquished with Dominic.  Outgoing, she would have easily found a rescue.  Dominic, however stayed to the back of the cage shy and confused.  The next day, he came forward to me and licked my hand.  I could not let him be separated from her and left behind .  . he deserved his chance.  Since we were returning with Manny, Dottie and Mama Maureen and her 3 tiny babies, we didn't have room for two more.  As it was, we purchased two additional carriers to bring back the unexpected rescues.  Ginger and Dominic waited the five days and came up on the next transport.   A happy gal, she played well with all of my fosters and charmed everyone who saw her Saturday with her standing on her head. Though accustomed to nites in her cage, the adoption center was another matter.  Upset, she would climb the bars and beg to get out.  Many people were smitten by her, several talked about adopting her; but, only Jennifer and Jacob were sincerely wanting to add another cat as a "forever" companion.  They had returned to West Sub where they adopted their fella, and had been visiting us  several Sundays . . this Sunday was the day and Ginger was the cat.  Now both of the relinquished cats have loving homes . . timing is everything.

Beautiful Belle came up on the Quincy transport w/her 3 kittens . . Bette, Bob & Bobbi.  Unknown to us she was pregnant . . so she has 3 kittens still in foster.  A dignified lady, Belle has blossomed and will bloom in the loving care of these three women.  Leslie has been looking at Belle since their older female passed.  Pam sent a pic of Leslie with Belle for mom to see.  That began the happy meet/greet . . and the forever home. Belle's journey has been long and rather hard . . she deserves to be pampered . . and she will be!

Dottie is doing very well.  She is fitting into our family nicely.  Our other two cats have generally excepted her.  Everyone gets along and occasionally they even cuddle a little.  For only a month in I would say everyone is getting along excellently.  Dottie loves to sleep with us at night too with her new brother and sister on the bed.  She usually sleeps on me or right between my wife and I.  Her favorite toy is Da Bird followed by her mouse toy.  She will bat those mice all over the house.  It is also very cute when the mice get a little to far away for her liking she will grab it in her mouth and run across the room jumping on the couch to play in a different area.  Dottie also loves the cat trees that we have.  She loves to use the scratching posts and get high up to look out the windows at the birds and other critters outside.  My wife and I are extremely happy to have adopted her and give her a forever home.  We are also grateful to be able to have adopted her from CAR as it opens a new space for another kitty in need of a home and I can tell all the cats get treated very well at CAR.

Mike came in for beta food and spotted our handsome fella.  Determined to do a meet/greet, he came in w/son Patrick.  Once they met him, they knew Dominic was the guy for them. A Navy dentist who misses having pets around, Dominic will be the perfect companion.  And, when family members visit, Dominic will be fine w/a mature golden and another cat.  A family that has always had pets, Dominic will fit is just fine.    Dominic is another Quincy rescue.  We met him when we went down there to personally visit the Warden and see the city/county animal control facilities. 

He had a young companion . . Ginger an orange tabby who will come out this weekend.  Knowing she would be "rescued" quickly and concerned for quiet Dominic that he would be overlooked, we told them to send him up on the next transport since we were full w/the ones we were bringing back.  For Dominic and me, it was love at first sight.  Afraid in the back of the cage when I first saw him, the next day he came forward to touch my extended hand . . he had to be saved.   A happy ending for another needy relinquished pet.

New name . . new life.    Paula and Scott where looking for a companion cat, and were instantly smitten with him.  They had an appointment to see another cat; but, as destiny dictated, the other cat wasn't our Manny ... and they came back for him.  I spoke w/Paula before they came in to finalize the adoption . . and she said they were both excited . . like adopting a child.  A great cat, Manny will do fine w/their cat and small dog.  

For Manny and the saved dogs Pepper & Duke . . they have happy futures thanks to the dedication of Jen the warden.

Just a few new pictures of Beulah from her happy new momma's. She looks so happy!

Dot has safely arrived to FL, and now will have an 8 month old BC buddy "Strut" to pal around with :-)

...she loves to play so much I think she will be great and easy to train

Daisy (left) & Maisy (right)
Just thought I'd give you an update on Daisy and the puppies. 5 of the puppies have found great homes and I'm down to Daisy and one puppy Maisy. That was a LOT of work cleaning up after all those puppies so having just two is a breeze!! LOL! I think the puppy that's left is the cutest one in my opinion. They were all ridiculously cute but Maisy has the sweetest face and cute markings and she's so sweet. She gets lots of oohs and aahs when I take her places but she doesn't let it go to her head. They are all spayed/neutered and two of the puppies and Daisy had a hernia so those were also fixed and I had them microchipped as well. Daisy is a perfect dog, my first rescue without some issue, and I'm going to make sure she gets a perfect home. Here are pics from their trip to the groomer today. It was a lot of excitement for Maisy and she conked out at the end. Thanks so much for saving her/them!

Oscar the Underdog, relaxing in front of the fireplace!

Just a note to let you know that yesterday Beulah was adopted by the perfect family! Needless to say, given Beulah's sad story and her sensitive nature, I was VERY careful to place her with just the right adopters.
Her two new "moms" received a big "thumbs up" from each of their references (including their veterinarian), they have had Springers in the past (including Andy, an older guy who is still with them), and they live close enough to visit once in a while. Very knowledgable about training, choosing the right healthy, high-quality foods, etc. and they are very soft spoken and they live a fairly quiet life in a rural area (no little screaming, rowdy grandkids etc.). And they plan--once Beulah is settled in--to enroll Beulah in an excellent dog training class.Even though she just went to her new home yesterday, I've already checked in (twice!) and they say that Beulah is adjusting amazingly well. She shows no fear, she is wagging her tail, she slept peacefully through the night, she is eating like a HORSE, her stools are nice and firm (sometimes, as you know, nervous dogs get diarrhea so I warned them about that) and she is settling right in with her new big "brother" Andy. Below is a picture of the happy new family. Doesn't this warm your heart? (In this photo, Andy is looking like he's saying, "She's not really moving IN with us, is she?"..... But that was yesterday.... Today he and Beulah are already bonding, and both dogs are getting EXTRA reassurance that they're the BEST!)  :-)

PS: Thank you so much for the role YOU played in saving Beulah. It's a true pleasure, working with you--and hope we can continue to help some of your dogs in the future.

Betsy was a tiny little baby when she made the long journey up w/other Quincy animal control rescues (Belle and her kittens, Tyler, Scott & Shelby and Deidra) . . a lot to take on all at once!  I told them to send Betsy w/o knowing gender, color . . it didn't matter.  They said the tiny kitten would not live there . . supposedly sickly, it would have been euthanized.  I will always remember this tiny soul coming out of the carrier I transferred her to . . purring and head butting LeAnne.  All she needed was love and good food.  She got lots of both . . and grew into a beautiful loving girl.  These ladies will have a wonderful companion.

We are so excited to have Dottie join our family.  We took her to our vet and she got a clean bill of health (not that we were worried since she seemed much healthier than our last adoption).  She has adjusted effortlessly to our house.  Loves to play with our flying bird toy and burly mouse.  She is also showing off her climbing skills on the cat tower.  She purrs constantly and seems to enjoy our company.  Our resident cats are adjusting better than expected.  We still have them separated the majority of the time, but are starting supervised visits where we are all in the living room.  They have gone quite well.  Dottie is such a laid back and loving girl she just ignores our other cats--which is great so they don't feel threatened and can just get used to her presence.  Thank you again for the opportunity to expand our family.  We are so grateful that she has come into our lives! 

UPDATE: Another pic of our fella with companion Dexter...

I have the best cats in the world! Attached is a the photo of BooBoo snuggled on my lap. I've also attached a photo of Abercrombie coping with winter his own way - nothing like a warm heat register on a cold night! I get the cutest photos of Aber and BooBoo, as they're total hams. Abercrombie's weird way of sitting and his penchant for sprawling on his back like roadkill make him a great photo subject. Fitch is a little tougher, as he is constantly on the move, my little athlete of a cat. I do have a great shot of him snuggled with Abercrombie, his brother's "arm" thrown protectively around him. I'll send that one to you if I can find it in my files.

Jjust wanted to share some pics with you...Tyson (we named him Quincy but he is now named Diesel...LOL) is having a great life in Minnesota!!  It took his foster-to-adopt dad about 2 days to decide to adopt him and he has since added Harlow to the family :)   Thank you for another great Boxer <3

Just thought you may like to see how our boy cleaned up. He is stunning isnt he? He has been out and playing in the snow here today as we had gotten about 6" over night. He would much rather just be with his people than play but, he managed to get in a couple laps around the yard. Please forward these onto his foster Mom for me. Tell her that he is awesome and is doing so well.

UPDATE 1/26/12: Sailor has been renamed Dublin by his new owners and he lives in a beautiful home in the city with a big fenced in yard. Dad and Mom both work from home so he gets lots and lots of attention. He shares their bed with his new best friend and cat brother named "Fender". There are many close relatives with children and other dogs in the area for him to play with. There will be a brand new baby brother or sister of his very own to love at some point very soon. He will be in absolute heaven as he know has everything in his life that we had hoped for. It took absolutely everything that I had in me to let him go.

He is happily settling in.  Thought you would like to see a picture of him after he arrived home, met everyone and played and played and did I say played. No accidents in the house at all.  He woke Tyler up at 4 to go potty, went to the bathroom came back in the house and was playing with Tyler's mom and then went back to bed with Tyler.  He is so good and is so sweet. Thanks Pam for helping us find him

We just LOVE Tommy.  He is adjusting to the house.  As you know, has his own bedroom for right now

Our other resident cat loves to hang out in our enclosed back hall (I think there might be mice under the landing and he loves to listen) so we let him go out there for a bit.  In the meantime it gave us a great time for Tommy to get out and explore the house without Dexter following him.  He has been quite the little explorer too.  He is not a hider at all.  He has been in every window; so cute the first time he stretched his very long, lean body up to the sill to look out (even though there was a cat perch on the sill that he could have sat on).  He has also explored the basement, which is good because that is where his litter pan will go once he and Dexter are together.  He is not afraid of the cat door either; that kind of surprised me as our past kitties have had to be coaxed through it the first few times.  He just walked right through like it was nothing.  We were happy to see he is not afraid of stairs (not knowing his past) either.

I've attached a couple of pictures.  Don't worry, this cat will be photographed A LOT!  I will send some of the two of them once it gets to that point in their little kitty lives.

A wonderful guy . . he walked out of the carrier and greeted us all.  A joy to foster, and difficult to leave on Saturday, I was delighted when Pam called to say he'd been adopted to a super couple who had a Forest Cat so were well aware of the care needed with a long hair. 

A happy ending for another great cat that made the long journey to us!

1/13/12 UPDATE: Thank you for your help in matching us up with Jerid  (that's his new name).  He is super affectionate and very laid back.  We separated him at first, but not for long as he has been very intrepid and exploring the whole house.  Our other cat Thor was a scaredy-cat at first, he would growl or hiss when Jerid approached.  But they are becoming friends quickly!    I am sending a photo or two...I think Jerid is happy! :)

Two Quincy kitties, Bette & Shelby with their happy new family!

Reggie with his new family!

Gabby, the yellow lab pup, has been adopted!!

I just wanted to update you and let you know that miss Sadie went to a foster-to-adopt about a week ago and this weekend she is officially being adopted! Sadie is being adopted by a very active senior woman so they will be one heck of a pair; two spry seniors ;)   Thanks for all your help in getting this sweet girl to safety!

She really is a great girl and we're so happy to have gotten to know her. Her heart sounded fine once treated for worms and she was able to safely be spayed. She did recently have to go to the vet for a double ear infection so the picture I attached is from her vet visit; despite the ear discomfort she was still smiling! She had recently been groomed and is enjoying her clean short cut ;) Thanks again for all your help with coordinating and advocating for miss Sadie.

Hi Anne,
Thank you and Andrea for saving Dutch. We adopted Dutch immediately after we were called. We had just lost or great rott Ceasar to cancer. Dutch is a great dog, so loving and gets along with our beagle and two cats . He really loves kids. He seems to be missing them. We have a daughter who he often sleeps with. Thanks again. Happy New Year!!!

Hi Anne~ Not sure is you remember me but my family fostered and adopted Davidson now named Huey.  He came from Quincy Animal Shelter in June 2010.  We decided to DNA test him just for fun.  Below is an email I sent out to several friends.  I didn't include you in that email because I wasn't sure if you'd remember us or him without a little of this info first.
If you want to guess his breed/s or just curious what his make up is let me know.
Ray decided to get Huey DNA tested as a Christmas gift to me since I couldn't figure out what I wanted.  I enjoyed finding out the results of Otis' test and tests of some friends so I thought Huey would be an interesting one to do.
I believe personality is just as important as looks in determining a breed....So here we go: Huey is 2 years old and has food & seasonal allergies.  He came to us at 9 months old with hip dysplasia which was fixed with FHO surgery in December 2010.  Since he's recovered from the surgery he is a fetching maniac, to the point of being irritating.  lol  He has a huge under bite with crooked teeth, droopy lower eye lids and droopy jowls but he's not a drooler (thank goodness!).  He has a tendency to persistently bark at Otis if he wants what Otis has until Otis gives it up or I step in.  Other than that he's the sweetest dog I've ever met.  His current weight is 85lbs which is good for his height, he looks great!  Huey is always 'mothering' the pups I've fostered and gets along great with our cats.  Oh yeah he thinks he's a lap dog. 

If you want to guess his breed/s let me know what you think, the results are in!    His one parent is a purebred Labrador Retriever and his other parent is Lab, Boxer and Great Pyr.  How funny is that?  I can see the Boxer part because of his under bite but never would have guessed Great Pyr

Scout and Kisha – Adopted about a year apart from Quincy, and best friends.

I think they're both ready for us to all be back at school and work - they're just exhausted after having us all home for over a week!
