Letters from Home

I thought you might like to see a photo of Tilly (formerly Tulip) with a favorite toy in her backyard. She’s a whip smart, energetic girl and we adore her. Thanks for everything you do to help these pups find forever homes!

We are so happy to get Polly last night.

Good morning AFH,
Thank you for all your wonderful work.  I just donated. Here is my handsome boy Buddy that I adopted from you in 2014.  He is the love of my life.  He travels everywhere with me.  Mary

Shaggy is now Rosie and just wanted to share how great she is! I am so lucky to have found her!! Thank you!!  Danielle

Good morning! I just wanted to say how happy I am to have adopted my dog from you all! I adopted him 7 years ago! Today is his 7th birthday, and without you guys I wouldn’t be able to celebrate with him!

Carlos (Hans) and Charlie rescued in 2009 alive and well at Lake Frederick, Virginia send their love.

Hi Maribel
Thank you to your wonderful organization for saving so many pups, especially during the current difficult time. We adopted our sweet dog Jenny 10 years ago from you…Here she is now. Gray around her snout and fighting some arthritis in her front legs. Our walks are shorter and slower but she’s still plenty perky and a really happy older gal. She’s still my baby! :)Lisa

Hello,

I hope you’re all doing well during these trying times.  I had been meaning to send an email update about “Poe”, I can’t believe we’ve had him over a month now! We decided to name him Quill after the wing markings on his back. He’s been such a sweet puppy, and someone must have taught him sit because he has been very good about that command. He’s starting a two week training course tomorrow, and we’re going to miss him so much, but I know he’ll love learning and playing with other dogs.  I just wanted to say thank you to the foster families and everyone at the rescue for taking care of this sweet pup and all the other good pups out there. We’re so glad he has a home with us now 😊 

Thank you and take care! McCaulley family

Hello,

Thought I would reach out and give you a little update on Ozzie.  We adopted him via your organization back in February 2019.  Our Ozzieboy, on the right in the photo, is a wonderful addition to our family. He is such a happy little dog that loves his sister Lucy, on the left in the photo. He is also very attached to both Tibby and I and loves being held as much as possible. He is such a baby, which I love and truly a family dog. When we got him, he was such a little thing and he was only partially trained.  Within a month or two, his appetite picked up and was fully housebroken. We camp a lot and even though he still does not like riding that much, he loves it when we get to our campground site. (Lucy and Ozzie are great camping dogs).  We go to the groomers about every three months for a bath and good hair trimming and he does great with our groomer.  He does well with his routine visits to the vet, (healthy pup visits), and taking his heartworm and Flea/tick medicine.  My vet says he is in great shape.  All in all, I feel that Ozzie is happy and thriving wonderfully in his new forever home.  I can’t thank you enough for helping him find his way to us. He has made our family complete.
