Ruby

Attached is an updated photo of Ruby. She is now one year old and although high anxiety, she is the sweetest little girl ever! She has really made our family so complete. She is warm, loving and so loyal to us. She is a lab, cocker spaniel mix and so beautiful. She loves to play, give kisses, give paw and just be with the family. Ruby brings lots of love and enjoyment to us. The best part of coming home is knowing that Ruby will be waiting to greet us with the biggest, wettest kisses of all. She has truly made a wonderful addition to our family. Thank you Brockton Blue and JMK-9 and a special thank you to Sandra for making such a thoughtful, great match!! We can't thank you enough.

Grammie

Hi Brockton Blue Dog Shelter - It was great speaking to you this weekend about Grammie--our new favorite subject! Here are some pictures of our Grammie on her orthopedic dog bed (very comfortable for her old bones)! The vet says she is aging well and is in good health. She loves going for long walks and being outside in general. Even though she's only been with us for 2 months, she feels very much a part of the family. Our 16-year-old son sometimes looks at her and exclaims, "We have a dog!" as if he still can't believe it. That is because when he was younger he had asthma and allergies and we never thought we'd be able to have one. We looked at many shelters' websites and Grammie was the only dog we could all agree on and she fits right in. We are very grateful to Brockton Blue Dog Shelter for allowing us to adopt her and for obviously taking such good care of her until her forever family came for her. We hope she is with us for a long time.

Sandra,

Thanks for checking on your girl! We aren’t slacking with photo documentation of her life but we are slacking with sending it out! Attached you will find your girl happily prancing on the beach still attempting to master the art of “LEAVE IT”. Last night she graduated from more Agility/Obedience classes and we enrolled in another 5 week course. It is so much fun, I think we like it more than she does! We love her to death and I think she is enjoying (I hope) her life. She is becoming a very spoiled only child which Rick and I agree will only be cured by another child. We will be looking for another as soon as one of us is at home a little more (probably next year).

Hope your summer is going well and your kids are doing fine! We will be going to Maine for a week (with Bella) in August for vacation. We will plan a trip to visit you and Diane in the fall! I am sure Isabella will love to see you.

May

Hi,

We adopted May (black border collie/lab mix) last weekand and just want to let you know how well she's doing and how happy we are to have her and she seems to be with us. She's slept soundly even from the very first night; she's eating and pooping well and she's just having a blast running and playing on the beach. She has adapted so well - but she is getting a lot of love which, I'm sure, helps. She's the perfect fit for our family - thank you!

Thaks again,

Lesley Smith & family.

Astrid

My husband and I adopted Astrid ( a border collie/black lab mix) last August 2006 and despite a rocky first few months, we couldn't have chose a better pet! Astrid is an absolute joy. She is full of love, energy, and extremely intuitive. She has been fabulous around children and after a few encounters, will open up to folks. She is still shy and scares very easily but we bring her to a dog park where she does extremely well and is slowly building up her confidence level! She brings so much happiness to us and our family members. We are so happy you kept her long enough for us to meet her and welcome her into our family!

Thank you,

Natalie Bayersdorfer

Suzie

Hello,

I just wanted to say thank you for all your help in adopting Suzie/Dixie. She’s too good to be true. She has been so well behaved it’s almost as if she has been with me for a long time. She does show some aggression issues with the neighbor’s dogs but we will work on that. (We have nick named her Taz, for the Tasmanian She Devil) It was an exciting day for her yesterday and it’s understandable. I’m sure obedience classes will help with that.

Thanks again so much.

Boone

Hi,

I wanted to send this along for the happy tails section of your website.

We adopted Boone (a.k.a Josh) back in May and we couldn't be happier with him. He has been the best little puppy. He loves to play with his brother Slim, run around our yard, go swimming at the dog park and enjoys rides on our family boat. He is the sweetest dog, he gets along with everyone and loves to meet new people and dogs. We love him so much and we are so happy he is apart of our family. Thanks for helping us adopt such a great pet!

Zachary

Hi all,

We just wanted to send you a picture of Zachary (formerly Scooter) to show you how much fun he is having at his new home. As you can see, he is a very goofy lab-his favorite play toy is his new brother Moose the lab! (and toilet paper!) His sister Abbie is still trying to teach him manners, she is still holding out hope for him....

Thank you to all who saved him from his former life!

Kerrin & Paul Venafra

Paul

Paul, now known as Cooper was a special puppy. He arrived to the shelter with his siblings, who all got adopted rather quickly. Paul was a very shy puppy, and we knew it was going to take a special family with a lot of love and patience to bring him out of his shell. While we was waiting for his forever ome, our Vets discovered on routine examination that he had a defect in one of his eyes. Well we knew that we had to make sure that he would suffer no long tern effects, so we ask all of our faithful Blue Doh Supporters to help us raise the funds needed to bring {aul to a Veterinary Opthalmologist. Well the funds were raised, and the news from the Specialist was great. The defect in his eye was not causing any vision loss, and would likely not ever cause a problem. After Paul got his clean bill of health, the Foerster Family gave paul the best gift of all and adopted him into their home! His new dad Tom reports that Paul was indeed still very shy when they first brought him home, and in fact wouldn't leave the deck for the first day. But now he is all settled in, and now he runs up and down the stairs, jumping on beds to wake the family up in the mornings! He loves playing with the kids and just relaxing in the yard. Thanks again to all who donated even one dollar to get Paul to the Eye Specialist, and of course to the Foerster Family for giving "Cooper" a forever home!

Zeus

Attached is a recent photo of Zeus, a wonderful addition to our family. He is doing very well, is happy, and loved by all of us (even the cats to a degree, although the chickens could care less about him!)

Please keep us in the loop of events the Brockton Blue Dog Shelter holds as we would love to come by and show him off.
