Averee

There were so many inquiries for Averee. One couple, Becky and Mike, showed great interest. When I emailed them to say her pending adoption with a pre-approved couple fell through, they called me immediately. They said they felt like they just won the lottery! Yes, they were still interested, and yes, they wanted her! Could they come get her now? The meet and greet was set for a couple days later after Averee had her dental and recovery time. They started shopping for a new harness and what not. The day finally came and it was love at first sight for all. Averee never stopped wagging her tail and was just as excited as they were. A neighborhood walk, photos, adoption agreement signed, instructions given... all happened so quickly. They were so excited for Averee to go to her new home and begin her new journey. She gave me a kiss goodbye as a tear rolled down my face. I knew she would be loved and spoiled with her new family, so it was mostly happy tears, even though I knew I'd miss that sweet, happy girl. We are now Facebook friends and talked again today. Averee made herself comfortable in her new home right away, after a visit with "grandma", who gave her a favorite snack of carrots. After following Mom around everywhere, she napped on Dad's desk while he worked. They absolutely adore her and would like to rename her "Pippa". Happy ending for all! Congratulations Avery!!!

Albert Eli

Charley “Albie” Thomas is on the way to his new adventure! This was a super easy adoption. Chanta and Cookie showed up a little after 3 pm and she Chris and I plus 5 dogs all went for a pack walk. I started out with Albert, Lucy and Beau but passed over the leash to Chanta and cookie shortly after leaving the yard. That has become my new way of letting go. It seems to help. After the walk and introductions were completed we took a seat in the living room to chat and let the dogs visit. My pack was very attentive and then they all settled down with a bully stick while Cookie and Albert explored each other and the house. Albie jumped up in his new moms lap and sat with her off and on during all the paperwork review. After all the necessary paperwork was completed we demonstrated feeding procedures. Albie ate well and took his medicine like a good boy. Then it was potty time and adventure time! My husband and I helped them load up the car for their journey home. After some kisses and reassurance to the little guy I tucked them all in and I turned around to see the photo below and it nearly broke my heart. His big old eyes were just looking at me as if to say ‘what is happening?’ I asked her to roll the window down so I could get a better shot of photo below. He was such a good boy though. He was really trying hard and he was definitely interested in Cookie and Chanta. I know it’s the perfect place for him but there is always that void when the house gets too quiet right after they leave. But Lucy Belle told me this week it was time for him to go. While this picture tears at my heart it also make me so happy. It’s almost as if he is smiling, thanking me for the help and letting me know he will be okay. Godspeed Charley ‘Albie’ Thomas! You will be missed (except by Lucy Belle!) LOL but you are already loved so much. Congratulations Albert Eli!!!

Avery

Steve and Sarah waited patiently until Avery was ready for adoption. They said it was the longest week of their lives :-). As soon as they walked up to the door Avery was barking with excitement and went right up to them with a wagging tail. The Stone's are looking forward to hearing the little taps of dog paws again in their house. Avery is one lucky boy. Congratulations Avery!!!
