Candee

Candee was adopted by Susan and Luigi from Pittsburgh Pa. They drove to meet Candee in Milton, De. They were familiar with the area and stayed at a local hotel. They had dinner on arrival Monday evening and visited and met Candee so they could see Candee's evening insulin preparation and injection. Candee was able to briefly meet them and give some cuddles. Susan had tears in her eyes when the left but knew she would be back in the morning to complete the adoption. Candee has come a long way from a very thin, weak newly diagnosed diabetic. Her sweet and loving personality were always present. Lynda Caridy was her foster to begin with but had plans and needed to have someone continue with managing her diabetes. That's when Candee came to me. She learned to potty outside and pads at night. We learned she loves people more than anything, she has joy in being outside and exploring with her person. As soon as the diabetes was controlled Candee had her surgery for a dental cleaning with several extractions, her microchip was placed and because she was diabetic her dewclaws were removed this way there will be no infections if one was torn during grooming or play. When the cone came off we went to the groomers. The Veterinarian, staff, groomers and everyone who met Candee wanted to adopt her. I am so grateful to the volunteers who do the home visits, call the Veterinarian s and phone interviews! Candee went to the perfect home! Susan told me she hasn't stopped smiling. At some point Susan spoke to Donna about Candee. We all knew the fit was perfect. Susan told me she couldn't meet Candee fast enough. She said having a diabetic dog in the past made the decision easy. Susan wanted a sweet companion, to be at her side Susan and Luigi text me daily to ask questions and to share happy moments. They are a perfect match! Congratulations Candee!

Colbie

This past Monday I got an email planning a push to get Colbie adopted; several people on a team would work together to find Colbie a home. Each of us had a job. I was to get him groomed and take some great pictures. Another person was going to put them on the website and someone else do Instagram and Facebook and so on. I forwarded the email to my husband so he would know what was going on. He immediately came upstairs from his office and said, "We should keep Colbie. He has become part of our family and if he leaves, we will all miss him, even me, and Bella (our first failed Foster) will miss him a lot." That was enough for me! I had been wanting to adopt Colbie for weeks. He has become such a wonderful, funny little companion. He has a schedule, and he has settled down a little bit. Don't get me wrong, we still go on plenty of walks and play lots of games! But now that Colbie feels comfortable and loved in his home, he's not quite so at loose ends and incredibly high energy all the time. This week he started classes with a trainer, and he has already learned to settle and stay and to touch. Goals: less craziness getting out the door. Less craziness when meeting other dogs on the sidewalk. Wish us luck with the training and the journey. We certainly feel lucky to have adopted Colbie! Congratulations Colbie!!!

Chayse

Chayse is my first foster, and first foster fail! I drove to New Jersey 2.5 months ago with friends to meet another volunteer half way, and on our way back in the backseat of the car we started to bond. Even though he didn’t look like a Yorkie, and was so skinny you could see his ribs, and he had the runs, and was as nervous as could be, my heart melted. He is a completely different dog now. So handsome. Very confident and loyal, loves his walks, his toys, helping me in the yard, playing with the neighbor’s dogs, and resting while I work. Can’t imagine life without him now! Congratulations Chayse!!!

Chase NY

Chase NY has left for PA! He was so happy to meet Marilyn, her son Chris and his girlfriend! Chase enjoyed the trip in the car and has settled right into his new home! Congratulations Chase NY!!!
