Bandit and Euripides (Rip for short) are brothers that were
adopted by a family with a large heart. The boys were the last
2 of a litter of 9 and it was too difficult to split them. The family
of 6 children assured me they would never go without food or
love. They moved to an 8 Acre home in Minnesota and are
having the time of their lives. Being of Great Dane linage, they
needed room to run and certainly have that now. They were
adopted on 3-27-04.

always had a gentle nature and sleeps in the baby's room as
a protector. He was adopted on 2-14-04.

Reeses (seen on your right playing with Lacey) was 1 of 5
puppies that were discarded in a box and picked-up by
animal control. He was named as such because this
wirey-haired little boy looked like chocolate over peanut
butter. Reeses was adopted on 7-31-04 by a girl in Camden,
S.C. who said Reeses reminded her of her childhood dog.
He has since been renamed Charley and as reported by his
new owner, is doing very well.

Gabrielle, also known as Gabby, is the sister of Lacey,

sight.

personalities...lively and loving! Mittens was adopted on
7-24-04 by a family in Columbia, S.C. The family said they
were looking for a playmate for their other pet, but it seemed
Mittens had chosen the young boy in the family as hers. Tippy

"Annabelle has turned out to be extremely sweet, obedient,
and loving. She loves attention and kisses! She and Linus
get along very well. They chase one another around the
house, play, bark, and fight over bones. They have a
routine every morning. I get up before Pierce and let the
girls out and feed them. I make them stay in the kitchen
with me until I’m ready to go upstairs and get dressed for
work. As soon as I open the kitchen door, Annabelle and
Linus make a mad dash for the stairs, each taking separate
routes. They race upstairs and jump in the bed with Pierce,
waking him up. We can’t imagine our lives without 'our girls.'
We are so fortunate to have two wonderful, beautiful girls.
They are full of so much love. Thank you so much for
Annabelle. She truly is a treasure."

Cuddles was 1 of a litter of 9 (with Chloe, Bandit, Rip, Timmy,
Lil Bull, Winnie, Tasha, and Blaze). Cuddles had a hard
beginning. He had bite marks on his back which showed
where a larger dog had shook him, resulting in a hernia. After
surgery for the hernia, he developed rickets. With a couple of
leg braces, some high vitamins, and lots of love, Cuddles
was adopted on 2-21-04. This little guy is now Cuddly Tom
and we are sure that the love he receives is returned 10 fold.
Update!
Cuddles, now known as Tom, "...is doing great. He is in great
health weighing in at ninety pounds."

"We have added Bun to her name…now Honey Bun. She is
doing well and has gained a few more pounds. The Vet
thought she wouldn’t be more than 28-30lbs. She has finally
potty trained and is getting past chewing everything in the
house, that is the things we humans leave around for her to
put in her mouth. She learned to bark and loves to bark at her
reflection. She still chases her tail, which makes us all laugh.
She had a very happy Christmas and was able to spend a
weekend with her dog cousin who came to visit. The two of
them managed to “eat” her new toys and bones. She loves
everyone who comes to play, dogs and people alike."

This is Rosie. Rosie went to her new home July of
2004, took over the couch and has been there ever
since. She is a happy girl and has a new brother,
Rocky. They are inseparable. Rosie's life started with
being discarded because of an eye infection.
Unfortunately, we did not receive her until it was too
late to save the eye. Rosie recuperated, adapted and
has a wonderful new life. Her parents are looking for
land to build a new home and have room for the "kids"
to run. Lately, we heard from her new adoptive mom:
"She is doing so well. She has gotten so big. I'm trying
to teach her some tricks, but she's very stubborn. She
sits on occasion, but she does do five with her daddy.
When I met my fiancé she took to him right away. She
would rather see him than me. Her and Rocky get
along so well. He doesn't leave her side for too long."

"Bailey (left) is doing fine. He has grown quite a bit, taller
than Sugar now(and around 60-65 lbs). He "loves" his sister
Sugar, this includes running around the yard with her,
pushing her around, and nibbling on her legs and ears. I am
enclosing a recent picture of Bailey and Sugar. Can you
believe he is almost 1 year old now? ...he is still a big baby
though(a sweet heart)." -Bailey's new mom

"Gizmo is doing great. He has been such a wonderful
addition to our family. Our poodle has adjusted well, however,
he is still the boss! Gizmo, of course, is your typical puppy.
Loves to chew on anything he can get his mouth on. When
we leave home, we have to make sure all the bedroom and
bathroom doors are shut. We try to keep him well supplied in
chew bones and toys. Gizzy sleeps with me, my husband and
our poodle, Doogie. When he wants to go outside, he will go
to the front door and bark. If that doesn't work he will come to
you and bark putting his paw on your leg giving you that "I've
got to go!" look. He will also have conversations with you. (in
his own language of course) I'll just sit there and talk to him
and if he's in the mood he will just talk up a storm. Our
longest conversation has lasted about one and a half to two
minutes." -Gizmo's new parents

This adorable little girl was Maxine when she was under our
care, but is now Sadie. She presently resides in Cleveland,
Ohio with a family who could not wait to get her home when
they saw her. At the time, Sadie was adopted from a location
within a pet store and her family spoiled her immediately with
goodies: a leash, matching collar, food and toys.

"Mark's Sugar" hardly made the entrance of our home when a
neighbor came to claim her. He couldn't leave her behind.
She is now one of his family of 6 dogs, but has the privilege
of sleeping in the "big bed."
