Gunner (fka Petey) was adopted in February 2023. We received this fantastic "pupdate" from his adoptive mom and here is what she has to say:
"We changed Petey’s name to Gunner after we adopted him. He’s doing great! He’s had lots of training. He is eager to learn and catches on quickly. He loves treats! He’s gone on two camping trips. Gunner has been a wonderful addition to our family/pack. I attached a picture so you can see how much he’s grown. Thank you for reaching out to check up on him."
Finn (fka Phineas) and Skyler (fka Blanca) are both ARWOB alumni and adopted by the same loving family. Skyler was adopted in November 2017 and Finn was adopted in December 2018. Their adoptive mom share these lovely photos and a nice update about them:
"I was just thinking about you and wanted to say hi. I attached pictures of Skyler and Finn. Today is Finn’s 5th birthday. Everyone got new toys to celebrate."
We received a wonderful "pupdate" about Panda and Kodiak, who were adopted together in January 2023. Here is what their adoptive mom has to say about them:
"Panda and Kodiak have brought much joy to us! They are both ~25 pounds now, and love people as well as other dogs. Kodiak in particular is a sweet girl who likes everyone. Both girls attended 6 puppy training sessions and will start intermediate training in May. They are smart, curious, loving, and are great sleepers to boot. In the photos, Panda’s face is more symmetrical. Kodiak has the wider stripe on her face and more black spots. You can tell that both puppies were loved and treated gently in their early life. We are grateful!"
Pecan was adopted in November 2022 and he is now living his best life! He had a rough start with his mama and his 3 siblings, but thankfully ARWOB was able to pull them from the Devore shelter. The family had been "red listed" for euthanasia, due to the lack of space. Thankfully an ARWOB volunteer heard about their dire situation and drove all the way to Devore (2 hours one way) to exit the family and bring them into our care (a total of 20 kitties were exited from Devore that day by our amazing volunteer). Now Pecan is living with his new adoptive mom and he is enjoying all the love he deserves! We couldn't be happier about this "purrfect" update from his mom:
"He is doing great! He eats well and loves running around and playing with all his toys. He really likes looking out the window and see what’s going on outside. He’s a cuddle bug and enjoys having play dates with my parents cats. Overall, I’d say he’s doing really well and seems happy. I’m really happy I adopted him."
Brandi (fka Pinta) was adopted in December 2021. Her adoptive dad recently sent us this wonderful "pupdate" about her. She is enjoying her life with her dad and her canine sibling Wiley. We are over the moon to hear how well she is doing!
"Pinta, whose name is now Brandi is the happiest of girls. I couldn’t be more stoked on how amazing she is and well behaved. The night I brought her home she was quiet as a mouse the whole car ride (3 hours with some bathroom stops). When we arrived at the house you could sense a ray of joy filled her as she jumped on the couch and made herself right at home. She played all night and slept with me and Wiley in bed. Our daily activities our morning hikes and the occasional dog park visit. We live in the mountains and she loves all the birds and lizards. Wiley and her come with me to work almost everyday and are always on the best behavior keeping me company. Wiley (my first rescue) and her have become inseparable and are two peas in a pod. They snuggle every night and keep each other company everyday. The cutest thing was Wiley had a vet appointment a few months back and she cried a little bit in the truck when Wiley was gone for 30 mins. Her separation anxiety is non existent but when at the vet they know where they are LOL. She is so smart. She is still crated when I leave the house and the dogs are alone but that is because I do that with all dogs until they are around 2 years old. She spends some times alone outside the crate and is almost ready to graduate! She is almost fully grown I would say. She is between 38-40 lbs and is always ready for food time! Never a beggar tho. I can tell how happy she is and enjoys her life with us. I couldn’t imagine her being anywhere else, and I couldn’t imagine my life without her. Thank you for the trust and bringing her into our lives."
