Montgomery (Red)

Hi,
 
My husband and I adopted Montgeomery (Monty) on Jan. 10th. and I just wanted you to see how well he is doing!!. We did change his name to RED becuase of his beautiful red coat.  Attached are pictures of us at the beach and at home in front of the fireplace.  Lying in front of the fireplace is one of Red's favorite spots.  He is a great dog!!!! He starts Obedience Training this Monday.  He has come so far in one month that he almost no longer needs the training. He is so funny and makes us laugh all the time.  He is spirted and loves to play, but he can also be a big sleepyhead!! We are so glad to have him and are grateful for all the hard work you do with these homeless animals.
 
Thanks Again,
 
Karen and Tom & RED!!

Pinky (Now Donovan)

As a newlywed and first time homeowner, my husband and I knew the next step was adding a puppy to our home. We decided to rescue a dog rather than contacting a breeder, so we jumped on Petfinder.com, perused the shelters closest to us and found The Animal Orphanage in Voorhees, NJ. After spotting one special pooch, we decide to head down to the orphanage for a better look. We spotted "Pinky" a brown and white lab/shepherd mix and immediately fell in love. To our delight, "Pinky" was adoption ready. Within two days of meeting "Pinky", he was ours to take home - 4 days before Christmas 2005. Since coming home, "Pinky" has been renamed "Donovan" and has settled into our home beautifully. Donovan has been with us a little over a month and we can't seem to remember life without him. Thank you to the wonderful folks at The Animal Orphanage for taking good care of Donovan until we brought him home.

Harlain

Hello,
I just wanted to give you an update. Harlain is now doing well. He is the cutest little devil you have ever seen. We are going slowly with his training because even a loud voice scares him. We are taking one step at a time, next is leash training. We love him to death and he is slowly coming out of his shell ! My other dog and him play and roll around like they are brothers.

Kelly (now Georgia)

Hello,

We adopted Georgia (formerly known as Kelly) there yesterday and things are going beautifully.  Our three-quarter acre yard is perfect for her propensity to full-out run.  She is quite the squirrel chaser.  Our terrier has a relationship with the neighbor’s Shepard of chasing each other from opposite sides of the fences, using audible signals and brief glimpses of each other through the fence slats.  Georgia has plugged right in to this practice with perfect intuition. 

The most amazing thing was that when it was time for bed, all the dogs are dispatched to the various beds of their own.  Georgia clearly was more comfortable staying with us, curled up in the comforter, but with just a couple of illustrations of which bed was hers to sleep in (and a little while of laying with her) she seems to understand the order of things, and returned to her own bed after a midnight visit to the backyard for relief.  All in one day.  She’s so smart.

We were hoping you could put us in touch with the shelter she came from in Georgia so that we might see if they could tell us more about her sad story.

We haven’t had great opportunities for photos yet, but since purchasing our camera in July we have several thousand of our other dogs, so you are sure to get some up to date images of Georgia soon.

Thanks for everything   --tw

Twinkie (now Charlie)

Hello!
Attached are some pictures of Twinkie, now Charlie. Twinkie is really good.  He is so happy, I bought him a bed and he loves it and sleeps on it.  He skips around and loves my house, he loves being there, he's funny.  I brought him to the groomer's for a bath, so he is all clean now.  I have my other dog Cody, a chow, who I got from the orphanage last year (there's a pic of him too), and him and Twinkie get along really well.  He is a very happy dog now so I wanted to pass it on to you. 
 
Merry Christmas  and Happy New Year!

Linus

 Hi to everyone at the Animal Orphanage, 

 We just wanted to let you know how much we LOVE  Linus, the dog we just adopted a few weeks ago. He  has the sweetest and most gentle spirit! He is  getting along with our other doggies very well and  has especially fallen in love with our beagle, Lady.  They follow one another everywhere! I've attached a few pictures for you of Linus in his new home.  Thank you so much, we are so glad to have found him! Keep up the good work with all of your other pets. 

Love,  Rachel, Michael and Stephen

Lily

A Merry Christmas to you and all the doggies at the Animal Orphanage....Stan and Lily send special greetings...Lily is still my little high energy bully girl, who rules the roost here. Nothing pleases her more than to run on the 7 acres I have in the mountains, chasing wild turkeys and then snuggling under the covers with me and Stan. It's hard to believe that it's been a year since I first saw her on Petfinder...she's come a long, long way. Attached are some pictures of the princess...in one of them, you can see, she is wearing her pearls.

Riley and Will

Hey AO!
Just wanted to check in and tell you how Riley and Will are doing. We adopted Riley, a black terrier mix, about 2 years ago, and she's wonderful. We adopted Will about 3 years ago. They both love it at our house and have their little hearts spoiled out. They love Christmas, and they've fallen into helping my Mom and I with the tree each year. Thank you for helping us find them!
