Bella was adopted in January 2024 and her adoptive dad sent us a cute "pupdate" about her:
"Bella is awesome. She is bonding greatly with both of us now. You will see how rough she has it in the attached photos. LOL! We had to take in her daughter and 2 grandchildren for a couple months so Bella has had to learn to be around children. That's going good. She is excellent on the leash. Without the leash, she stays right beside me. In a controlled environment though. Not ready to try it out of that yet. No rush. She is still skiddish around others, especially men, but my stepdad and brother in law are patiently working to gain her trust. Because of my Mom, we take the pups with us to see her and give them a break from the kids, here and there. She travels very well. Last, she, sort of, found her bark. We had a possum on the back wall a couple of weeks ago. It was a staring contest, up until the possum moved on down the wall to the neighbors yards. Then she felt safe enough to bark at it at that time. LOL! It was the "big brave watchdog" then. It was cute."
Maggie (fka Binky) was adopted in January 2024. Her adoptive mom shared this "pupdate" with us:
"Our pup Maggie (former Binky) is doing great. We love her so much. Maggie has truly been a blessing in our lives. In February we unexpectedly lost our previous rescue dog, Chewey he was only 7 years old. It was very traumatic for us as he was our very first furbaby. I am so thankful and grateful we adopted Maggie when we did in January and that she got to know our previous pup Chewey for a bit. They got along and played well together. We miss him a lot but Maggie has been our saving grace. I couldn’t imagine getting through this tragic event without her by our sides. She has been quite a comfort for myself and fiancee as we process our grief. It always feel likes Maggie was sent to us at the perfect timing because to be honest after losing Chewey I think it would have taken me a lot longer to adopt another dog and I don’t know how I would feel about coming home to a quiet and dog less house. I was starting to shop around for dog training places. I actually would possibly like to have her to the AKC puppy/ good dog training classes. I think Maggie would be an excellent therapy dog. I want to try and do that with her. I teach children with special needs so I think it would be cool if Maggie could possibly become a therapy dog. She is very playful and smart and seems treat motivated. I have taught her sit and shake so far. Her leash skills are getting better. We have been on some walks to the park and she has been great with kids and meeting other dogs. We are so thankful and grateful to have adopted Maggie! She is the best little girl. We love her so much."

Handsome Lincoln was adopted in January 2024. His adoptive dad sent this fantastic "pupdate" about him. We are so pleased to know that he is living his best life with his new family! Here is what his adoptive dad has to say:
"Lincoln is definitely a success story. He has fit in with our family perfectly and is such a good boy, we have not had to get a trainer. He enjoys playing with a tennis ball and also stealing socks. He also loves car rides and parks and always wants to be with us. He has a new haircut and wears a bowtie. We are very grateful for finding him and the adoption process going so smooth with ARWOB."
