and is on her way to a wonderful future as a therapy
dogue! She is loved beyond words by Tricia and her
family, we're looking forward to hearing more about her
as she grows! Tricia has shared with us many stories
about Blue and we're so grateful to them for all the

Beautiful Blue is now living with and loved by Tricia,
Bob, and their little girls in Massachusetts and we're so
very happy for her! After talking to Tricia for quite a
while, and meeting her and her husband Bob in New York, we
knew they were the perfect family for her. Not only does
Blue have 2 little girls to love now, but she also has a new
Lab sister and Mastiff brother, a wonderful new family that
she just adores!
Blue will be going to obedience classes and then on to be
a Certified Therapy Dog! She's the perfect girl for this,
she loves meeting new people and her temperament is
outstanding, just like her sire and dam, Ted and Freida.
Blue will be going to work with her mom Tricia at the
hospital, we are so very excited for them and are looking
forward to hearing about her new endeavors!
|

Thank you Tricia for your patience in waiting for this puppy,
as you said, good things come to those who wait, and Blue is a
very lucky girl to have you for her new mom! |

Gabrielle with Rachelle, Greg, and
Kayla
What a wonderful family!
|
|
We're thrilled to welcome Rachelle and Greg Buffkin
to our family! Our sweet Gabrielle is now their new
little girl!
After driving to Florida over the weekend to
meet with Rachelle and Greg we knew they were the family
Gabbie had been waiting for. Our visit with them was
such a pleasure, they're a wonderful loving couple and Gabbie
took to them immediately. One of the first things she
did was go in and empty the toy box and play with her
new sister Kayla, she was in heaven!
Rachelle and Greg had adopted a rescue through the
DDBS, Mugsy, whom they loved with all their hearts.
Sadly they lost him not long ago, their hearts were
broken in losing him. I knew that in loving a dogue as
much as they did their Mugsy, that our Gabbie would have
the most loving home we could have hoped for, we saw
that from the moment we arrived and are so happy for all
of them!
Thank you Greg and Rachelle for loving Gabrielle, we
look forward to hearing all about her new life with you!

We're so happy
to welcome Jim and Teresa Brun
and their daughter to our family! Our precious
Cheewawa "Chewey" is now living with them, and
we are just thrilled for her! Jim and Teresa are a
wonderful couple with a deep love of dogs. Chewey is
getting all the love and attention she deserves, they just
adore her! We look forward to visits with them and
watching this special girl grow! |
|
"Don't worry
grandma, my new mommy
will take good care of me!" |

We're just
thrilled that Gus is now living with Dr. Stephen
Ambrose, his wonderful wife Ellen and children, and
their dog Peaches! We couldn't have hoped for a more
loving home for this handsome boy, and we're so happy
for all of them! Thank you Steve and Ellen for taking
him into your family and loving him as you do. Gus took
to you as soon as he met you, he was so content, I knew
then he'd found the perfect home.
It was so
nice meeting you and
we look forward to hearing about him
and watching him grow!
