Pot O’ Chocolate Gold Winner
And the winner for the Pot O’ Gold is….Adam McLaughlin! A Forever Home was able to raise nearly $900 from our Pot O’Gold fun fundraiser. Thank you to everyone who participated. Special thanks to Ari Baires for coming up with this idea, her mom Bea for helping out, and Target for the donation. Every cent received will help deserving pups find that special place called a forever home.
Trevor Does It Again!
Dear AFH: At 11 years 8 months of age, Trevor (aka Baxter adopted in 2014) earned his AXP (AKC Excellent Agility Preferred) title on November 15, 2025 at a trial in Halethorpe, MD. The following day he finished his AJP (AKC Excellent Agility Jumper Preferred) title. We started agility when he was 9 years of age to see if he would like it. He certainly did. He is not the fastest dog in the sport, but he more than makes up for it with his consistency, focus, and teamwork. We are beyond proud of his achievements and plan to continue agility with him for as long as he enjoys it!
Signed, Diana Hong, Trevor’s Proud Momma!
Happily Ever After!
Valentine’s Wishes Granted!
