Jacie (Juno’s Janney)
To A Forever Home, I’ve attached some pics of my pup, originally called “Juno’s Janney.” I adopted her in January 2017 (DOB 10/25/16). We renamed her “Jacie” and she is a very much loved member of the family. This is her forever home. She could never be considered optional. She’s an amazingly sweet, friendly girl and such a wonderful addition to my family. She’s playful, happy, smart, and makes me laugh every day with her goofy antics. She’s very healthy, well-behaved, and so very spoiled in the best ways possible. Just thought I’d share some pics of my sweet little girl. And thank you for what you do. I’m so grateful that I got to adopt her.
Sincerely, Tara
Snoop Dogg (Petie)
Thank you for all you do! We adopted “Petie” (now known as Snoop Dogg) earlier this summer, and he has been an amazing family member. He fits in perfectly, and is the sweetest thing! Thanks again, Kandice
Trevor the Champ!
Dear AFH, Just a quick update on Trevor who is now 6 1/2 years old. He earned several titles from the International Dog Parkour Assoc. during the Covid shut down including Novice parkour dog, Level 3 Quarantine specialist, Level 3 Four Foor On specialist, and Level 2 Under Specialist. He is currently working on his Intermediate parkour title. We will be resuming some WCRL rally at the end of September. On September 13th, he finished his AKC Fast CAT title the “FCAT2′ with a nice 7.87 seconds x 100 yds, 25.99 mph and 3rd place in the medium height class. Here is a pic of us both in our title photo and one of him running full tilt down the course. You can tell he loves this a lot! All the best and thank you letting us adopt him as a 7 month old in 2014, Diana
Marvin (Rommy)
Hi All –
I hope all is well. Wanted to let you know that everything is going great with the adoption and I think my big buddy is happy as can be. I have a friend named Rommy, so I decided I had to change his name… So due to my love for music and dc – decided to go with MARVIN. He and his half brother, Zeppelin, have had a great summer!
Wonderful Jack (Scruffy)
Hi everyone! Seeing the posts of adopted dogs on your Facebook page made me want to share photo of our Jake, formerly “Scruffy”, from 2006. He will be 14 this October and has been an absolutely wonderful addition to our family ❤ Thank you for helping all these animals! Best wishes, Jayne

Charlotte Update!
Hey! Giving you a Charlotte update! First of all we love her and all her quirks so so much! She’s a shy girl and takes time for her to warm up to new people/dogs/situations. Part of that is it’s so hard to socialize her right now. Also she hates the vet 😂 She is so crazy smart we bought her great puzzles and one was advanced level and she figured it out in 2 min! Our basset hasn’t figured any of them out hehe. She loves her doggie brother with all her heart and her human sisters.
She is a hunter! She hunts alllll the little creatures in the yard, kills them and brings them in the house 🤢 we are working on that lol We did a DNA test on her, I don’t know if you wanted to send the results to her brothers and sisters families.
She is 25% great pyr ,25% Maremma sheepdog, 25% pit and 12.5% chow chow and 12.5 random breeds. She’s expected to be between 50-88 pounds.
