OCTOBER 2009 - CONGRATS TO LILLY FOR GETTING HER CGC AND BECOMING A THERAPY DOG...WE ARE SO PLEASED AND HAPPY..MORE PHOTOS TO COME
I grew up with Great Danes, and always wanted one as an adult - but when my husband and I got married we were living in an apartment and just didn't have the room. Almost 13 years later, and about a month after we lost our red & white Siberian Husky to old age, we knew it was time to find another dog for our family - and for Skye, our 6/7 year old rescued Golden Retriever.
A friend had sent me a link to a different posting on petfinder.com, and although I wasn't interested in that dog - I did a little search and fell head over heels as soon as I saw a photo "Sierra". I called my husband to come and see the information, and instead of saying "no way!" like I thought, he instead asked if she was still available! I was so excited I e-mailed straight away to find out!
I learned that there was a LOT of interest in her, but they'd let me know. A couple of weeks went by and finally I heard that we had a home visit scheduled! We met Tina on a Monday, and got "two thumbs up", but we weren't sure if Lilly had been adopted because her information had been taken down off the website. We were extremely nervous about it - but at the end of the week we heard that we had been chosen to be her forever family!
That weekend, we drove all the way to San Antonio to get her and couldn't have been any more excited than we were that day! The kids and Skye were thrilled to have this gorgeous little girl as a part of our family. She was wonderful all the way home, including a stop at the pet store to pick up a couple hundred dollars worth of the bare essentials: collar, toys, leash, toys, food, toys, raised dog bowls, toys, chews, toys... :0)
The first few weeks have been a little rough since we found out that she had both kennel cough and giardia. The kennel cough is gone now, but she still has giardia. She's now on a special prescription food and some more medicine. None of this slows her down though - even still enjoying long walks, going to the dog park and taking little road trips with us! Like a typical puppy she plays hard and then crashes hard.. always preferring to cuddle up with me or Skye!
We couldn't imagine our family without her! Easter weekend we'll be going camping for the first time with our children, and the dogs get to come too. They are going to have a blast!
We did change her name.. it is now Lilly Blue. Lillies are my favorite flower and a pretty girl's name, so it seemed to fit all round! Thank you all SO MUCH for letting us be her forever home. We couldn't be any happier!
Best Regards,
Jeff, Tammy, Brooke, Jayden, Caelan, Skye & Lilly Blue.

Dondon (now Rosco) was picked up from Corpus Christi from Peewees animal shelter, they found him and he was skin and bones and couldnt even walk. Handed over to us we took this beautiful boy and waited for his perfect owner to turn up...In walks Phillip...now Roscoe and Phillip are best buds and Rosco is home now...i love the couch photos they rock. Phillip says they go for runs and walks around the town. Rosco gets a kick out the fact that all the dogs around the neighbor hood are penned up, and he gets to go running. Rosco goes for car rides when Phillip has short errands to run, and he even comes along with Phillip to house parties and mingles with "their" friends and other dogs. Sounds perfect to me.

A life on the ocean waves.....................
Avery the black female was ahorribly mangey (demodex) pup that I pulled from ACS at 5 months of age - they were not going to release her tome becauseher time was not up and I would not leave until they did. They had put the one down that morning that I had come to get because of skin issues - so I was not leaving her!! Thankfully she was adopted by a loving family as you can see she is just a beautiful young girl with her sibling.
Duke was adopted by Kate in October. He is doing amazing and is completely spoilt, or is it that he has the family under his paw?..... He loves to go running with me everyday especially at the park and has done very well at the dog park there. He and the cat are inseparable they even sleep cuddled up together sometimes! He is up to and holding steady at 155 lbs and is so muscular doesn't have very much fat at all, and the callouses he had on his elbows are all gone! He still has his battle wound scares but he gets compliments and how gorgeous he is every time we go out! He is a big 'ol ham and just eats it up...
Mysty was picked up on our way back from Corpus Christi as she was an owner surrender. She was really under weight and scared, she stayed with Joellen for a while and was a little growly but then she found her forever home with her new owner, they found each other and Mysty is just even more beautiful in her new home with her new owner. Thank you for adopting her, she is a wonderful dog.
the movie is great we just love watching her playing...look at her go
Matilda was rescued and had terrible mange, but now look at her now she is just so beautiful. Finding her forever home was the best thing that could have happened to her, she has caring parents and a lovely sibling.... Waltzing Matilda..welcome home darling..love your new collar

This is Cowboy. Cowboy and his sister Mystique's owner committed suicide and were sent to a vets, terrified, shoved into small cages the dogs barked and growled at the vets. Then call came in if you dont get these dogs now we are going to euthanize them, the dogs were scared and the vets took them as being aggressive. One of our volunteers Michelle drove up to Houston to pick the dogs up and bring them down to Jo Ellen. Thanks Michelle and Jo Ellen.
