From Our Family To Yours
Moose Filled Our Hearts
In 2008 we adopted one of Sadie’s 9 pups. He was the last to get adopted and we were so glad that the best was saved for last. Moose has been the best dog from the moment we brought him home at 12 weeks. He has always been loving, calm and relaxed. He filled our hearts with unconditional love. He loved everyone he met. The love between him and his dog brother that we brought into the family later was also so amazing. Moose was such an important part of the family and we were sad to have to say good bye to him in October. Our hearts ache without him but know that his tired body needed to run free with his other dog brothers and sisters that left before him. Thank you AFH for bringing our perfect Moose into our lives. He will never be forgotten.

Sweet Bolt (Malcolm)
…I wanted to let you know that our sweet boy, Bolt (a/k/a Malcolm) has crossed the rainbow bridge. It was super sudden…diagnosis hemangiomas carcinoma ventricular.
Beloved Holly (Lilly)
After sixteen years with our beloved Holly, we have come to believe that the name “A Forever Home” should really say something about what our pets have become to us rather than what we signed-up to give them; something more along the lines of “Forever in Our Hearts”. Holly came into our lives in the Autumn of 2005 during an AFH adoption event at PetSmart in Chantilly Virginia and immediately became one with our family.
Side-by-side growing-up with our two sons, Holly became the third wheel with everything they did except watersports, far too risky behavior for this proper lady. When 34 guinea hens made their way into our life in 2013, Holly’s Border Collie instincts kicked-in and she was determined to set the boundaries for their free-raging activities and wouldn’t take no for an answer until they flew to treetops, waiting the coast to be clear of that strong-willed and determined dog.
Holly was an unscripted addition to our family, and we all became Holly-centric over time basing many of our family decisions and directions with Holly in mind. We were never without a wagging tail or a smile looking for a treat; Holly was always ready to play when we were (and even if we weren’t). Over the years Holly touched many lives and most assuredly was greeted by her grandfather on the other side whom she shared a home for almost a decade. We can almost hear him saying “Hello Dog”. Planting our garden will never be same without Holly’s pawprints in the freshly groomed soil but memories like those will stand the test of time.
Thank you to AFN for not only the opportunity to give Holly a forever home, but for the opportunity to have Holly in our family and memories forever.

Tyson – Best Dog Ever
AFH, In the fall of 2006, we rescued Tyson, a beagle mix puppy from A Forever Home Rescue Foundation. Little did we know, he rescued us. He was the only black beagle in his litter and his mild temperament drew us to him. We are saddened to report that Tyson passed away on Oct 28, 2021. Tyson was a little over 15 years old and brought love and joy to our family every day in a way, only the best dog ever could. We miss him immensely. Rest in Peace, Tyson. July 4, 2006 – October 28, 2021.
