Zeb (fka Mike) was adopted in November 2022. His adoptive mom shared this great "pupdate" with us. Apparently Zeb and his canine sibling Toby have names that come with an interesting backstory! Here's what she has to say:
"Mike, now named Zeb, is doing great. He's grown to about 14.5 pounds now (we just went to the vet for some preventative care where he was weighed), and I'm guessing he'll top out around 18-20. He settled in right away with my other dog, Toby, whom he clearly adores. They snuggle, chase each other around the house, and wrestle over toys. I loved to see them both so engaged. He's definitely a cuddler, and I like to think of him as my personal hot water bottle during these last few weeks of cold nights. He's been a wonderful addition to the family. Fun fact for anyone who is a Margaret Atwood fan: the dogs are named after Toby and Zeb of the Maddaddam Trilogy."
Simba (fka Michael) was adopted in October 2022 and we recently received a "pupdate" from his adoptive family. His adoptive mom is so happy to have him in their lives and here's what she had to say about him:
"Omg, he is amazing. We think Michael (now Simba) is mixed with great dane. haha! He loves going to the dog park, specifically Fiesta Island, finished his first training course at a dog prep school a week ago, and he has fit so well into our family. The absolute best gentleman too! He is also best friends with a female golden retriever named Bella who is the same age as him! We couldn’t thank you enough! We absolutely love him and his energy so we are very excited that he could potentially be a part great dane!"
We received a "pupdate" about Odie (fka Mocha) who was adopted in September 2022. Here is what his adoptive mom has to say about him:
"Odie (formerly Mocha) has settled in here very nicely (pictured sleeping with his ball), and he’s learned a lot by watching his older sister Mandy (Mandy is in the pink collar, at first that was the only way we could tell them apart)…he’s come a long way, though he still has a couple of ‘puppy’ behaviors we’re continuing to work on with him (we are the trainers). He’s getting to know the neighbors, and he’s learning who and what to bark at instead of barking at EVERYthing! We were a bit surprised when we brought him to the Vet for his first check-up in mid-September, and they told us they thought he was likely part Great Dane – but we haven’t been surprised since then, because he’s already as big as our 7-year-old Mandy!! He’s a good boy, he’s smart, and he is definitely in his forever home. Thank you for all that you do at ARWOB for these 4-legged fur babies – God bless you guys."
Minnie and Mickey were adopted together in July 2022 and their adoptive mom just shared this latest photo of them. They are getting so big!
Dustin and his sister Maxine were adopted together in August 2022. Their adoptive mom sent us an "pupdate" about them. We noted that "Baja blend" pups can often have a wide variety of DNA! Here is what she had to say:
"Everything is great. Dustin might be more Rottweiler than Chihuahua, he’s 2x the size of Maxine! He now weighs almost 12 pounds!"
