Bodie’s Sleepover

Bodie’s Sleepover

“Bodie” Cook invited the family granddaughter, Aubrey, to sleep over, and Gayle was lucky enough to snap these photos.

Aubrey and Bodie (and I’m sure other humans too) enjoyed popcorn and a movie. We hear the popcorn part of this evening was Bodie’s favorite. Then it was off to shower and get ready for bed for Aubrey, who decided to snuggle back under her favorite harlequin boy and they both fell asleep. Lucky Bodie to be in such a loving home!

Thanks to the Cooks for another cute photo of their special girl.

Rest In Peace Charlie

Benjamin Krantz wrote to us about the passing of his beloved boy Charlie. Our condolences to Ben and his wife Melissa on their loss. It is so hard to lose a Dane, as we all know. Our thoughts are with the Krantz family. Here is what Benjamin wrote to us about Charlie:

“I rescued Charlie in March 2012, he was 2 and a half years old and looking for a forever home. He was a little timid at first but immediately obsessed with me as I was with him. He helped me find my wife Melissa and Charlie was with us for another 8 and a half more years. He loved the sun, stuffed dinosaurs , eating, and every person he ever met. He lived to a very happy 11 years and passed with his closest friends and family in the room. We will miss you every day big guy.”

Moose Update

Moose Update

Moose came into rescue in March of 2018 at 6 months of age. We had a family who was scheduled to come meet Moose, but they cancelled so we reached out to another on our waitlist. They dropped everything, came and fell in love. EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON! Thanks to the Garner family for adopting Moose.
Here’s what they wrote….

“Hi Karen, I thought I would update you on Moose. We just love him! His lab sister died and he and us were heart broken. We adopted a Lab Mix from Foothill dog rescue “Tucker”. Tucker loves  his big brother Moose  and they are inseparable. Moose is now 164 lbs and still very lean not over weight. Thank you again for calling us to come see him on that rainy weekend almost two years ago. Karen & Rob”

Austin In His New Home

Austin In His New Home

Thanks to Jennifer Harrell and her family for adopting Austin. Here is what she wrote to us recently: “Hi! Everything is going wonderfully. We have renamed him Finnegan (Finn for short). We will definitely be considering him adopted. He is the sweetest and we are very happy with him. All the dogs are learning each other and doing well. He loves the kids and has settled in nicely. Thank you so much again!”

Bodie and Stevie!

Stella Joins Her Daughter Lucy in Heaven

Stella Joins Her Daughter Lucy in Heaven

Paula Ashcroft let us know her fawn girl Stella passed recently. Stella is the mother to Lucy who also passed recently and is posted on our site. We are happy to know Mother and Daughter and reunited again. Our condolences to Paula. Here is what she wrote to us: “With a heavy heart we said goodbye to our lovely loyal 10+ year old Great Dane Stella. We rescued her 8 years ago from GDRNC. She was in a terrible abusive puppy mill, emaciated and pregnant with five puppies. Stella definitely got her groove back. Safe travels over the rainbow bridge. RIP sweet girl.”
