Professor Found A Forever Home

Professor was saved by AFS before he was euthanized in a Georgia shelter.This is what the Professor's family had to say about him: The Professor (yes, we're keeping that as his name) has continued to bring joy to our home. Like your previous email stated he is a funny little man. Ed and I often comment on how human his face can look at times, almost like he's got the soul of a little old man inside of him! He has a couple of bad habits that we continue to work with him on. We have found that he has a propensity to "go on the lam" if we're not careful when opening a door. Once he wriggled out of his leash when I had him out so now he wears a harness. Unfortunately, (for him) it's Stormy's old harness so it's hot pink. Hopefully he's not feeling gender confused. LOL! We plan to get him a more masculine color sometime this week. His other bad habit is that sometimes he gets so distracted by squirrels, lawn mowers, neighbors, birds, etc. that he doesn't do all of his business (#2) when he goes out. If we don't keep an eye on him when he comes back inside then he will do his business in the living room but he's making progress. None of his unfortunate habits can't be worked with so we're happy about that. Overall, he's been a great addition to our family and gets along famously with Stormey. They're best buddies! Attached you'll find a couple of pictures of Professor sporting the pink harness. He's such a loving and good boy - we cannot believe our luck in finding him. Thank you again for everything!

Elliott is Now A Beach Bum

Elliott, a 3 year old yellow lab found himself in foster care when his family could no longer keep him and provide for his needs. He wasn't in foster care long before he stole the heart of his new mommy Jennie. He resides with another lab mix Ted. Elliott is so happy now and is loving living life as a beach bum!!!

Mia has a new family

Mia was another success story. Mia was born in foster care. Her momma was taken from a kill shelter in Georgia before her last day. Some of her babies did not make it. Mia was one of the lucky ones. Mia went to a home where she has a little girl to love her! The picture is of Mia asleep after a rough day at the dog park!

Betsy the Boxer is in the Driver Seat Now!

There is no looking back for this boxer!!! This is some of the update we received from Betsy herself: YOU JUST WOULDN'T BELIEVE HOW SPOILED I AM NOW, I SLEEP WITH MY PARENTS & HARLEY, I HAVE ALL KIND OF TOYS TO SHARE WITH MY BROTHER. AND WE HAVE ALL THESE CHEWIES, OF COURSE MOMMY'S HOUSE DOESN'T LOOK REAL GOOD WHEN WE START PLAYING. I EVEN KNOW HOW TO SIT, LAYDOWN, NOT PULL MOMMY DOWN THE STAIRS AND ALL THAT OTHER STUFF THAT MOMMY KEEPS TELLING. I KNOW WHAT THE WORD NO MEANS. WELL, THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING MY NEW FAMILY FOR ME. I WILL STAY IN TOUCH WHEN I CAN, I HAVE A BUSY LIFE. PAWS,LOVE,PAWS, BETSY (ALIAS SISSIE)

Taz gets adopted!

Taz was given up by his previous owners. He is so happy now with his loving parents Kathy & Brian who were just smitten and more than patient with this precious boy!! He has a sibling now too and is more than thrilled. Him and his brother Papi are like two peas in a pod. They look like twins and were meant to be together. Taz says "GO BUCS!!!"

Homey is Home

Here is what Homey's new owner had to say about him: I just wanted you to know Homey is doing well. He has really turned out to be a great dog. I have caught him on top of tables a few times which i thought was interesting.I am thinking of getting him a friend, lol. I'll call you if I go thru with it. Hope Homey gets a new AFS buddy soon!!!
