Izzy Lou Waiting for Santa in PJs!
Hello! I want to send my yearly thank you for rescuing my beloved schoodle Izzy (nee Elena) from a Missouri puppy mill in 2009. She is my utter joy and love. She’s about 11.5 now and still as spunky as ever. While she prefers to run outside and roll in the mud, I did put her in her Christmas PJs and put bows in her hair a few days ago and captured this adorable photo. See attached. I thought you may giggle. Thank you again for all that you do- have an amazing New Year!

Bailey is loving her forever home!
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
