Reese - like the Peanut Butter cup :)

 

Reese is such a cutie!  This girl is FULL of personality too ;)

Reese was brought up to Petco one Saturday at only a few weeks old.  The person holding her did not want her.  We didn't ask many questions - there was luckily a foster there able to take her in - and we snatched up this cutie in a hurry!  She how has now been in her forever home for a few years and is enjoying life with her brother Skippy.

Gypsy

We adopted Gypsy 3 years ago. Her name was Angel then. She has brought such joy to our lives. We are so thankful to Lost Angels for saving her as she was such a mess you couldnt even see her eyes when they first got her. She is still not fond of grooming but do to her good nature she puts up with it. Just wanted you to know she is so loved and will be with us forever as she is a true part of our family.

Patchie

Thought you would all enjoy seeing Patches (was Hank with LAAR). I adopted Patchie in August of 2011 and he was a bit of a challenge for quite a while. His foster mom only had him three days and we didn't know how fearful he was. When I would walk him in the park if he saw someone in dark clothing or with a big dog he would bark and bark. He might be a little guy but he has the biggest bark ever. My vet said it wasn't aggression but fear. I already knew that because he doesn't have an aggressive bone in his body. So I came up with a plan and when he went for a "public" walk, he was partnered with my Cavalier, Katie who is very, very calm and friends with everyone. We have been doing that for a long time so 95% of the time if a big dog is coming toward us Patchie first looks up at me and then scoots next to Katie. He is a sweetheart and very affectionate. He is a happy little guy.

Yoshi

This is Yoshi who I adopted in January 2011 after Sophie (a rescue from St. Francis Rescue) passed on December 10, 2010. I was so sad I swore I would never get another dog. Katie, my Cavalier, had known Sophie since she was a baby and was beside herself without Sophie. It seemed like Katie kept looking for her. Then one day I was walking Katie in the park and a woman I did not know but who obviously had seen me waking Sophie and Katie asked where my "little gold dog" was. When I told her Sophie had passed she said I should adopt another dog and told me about LAAR. That night (a Friday) I looked at the site and saw this little guy and it was love at first sight. LAAR was at Petco the next morning but I was there before they even showed up. It turned out that someone had submitted an application on line and were coming to see Yo that day at one p.m. I was so sad and was sure I wouldn't get Yo - but I filled out an application anyway. To make a long story short, that didn't
work out and within five days Yoshi was home. He is the dearest, sweetest, most loving, playful little guy who always has a smile on his face while at the same time will look at you with the most thoughtful expression. You will see a ball in each of the pictures. Why? Because Yo loves, and I do mean loves, to play with his ball. So he has 20+ glow in the dark. If we go in the backyard to play it doesn't matter if it is day or evening he will run and get one of his balls to play. This is a wonderful little pup that doesn't have a single solitary flaw...and even if he did, he will be loved forever.

Bear Goofs Around :)~

It's Bear again!  Bear has been in his forever home for over 3 years now.  He was in foster care for just under 2 years after being passed around from home to home before he came to rescue.  Bear is a powerful, strong-willed dog - with the sweetest, softest heart.  He needed just the right owner - and he found him!!

Abby aka Miku

 

Update on sweet Abby formerly known as Miku!  Abby was saved from a kill shelter after she had been hit by a car.  She had FHO surgery and recovered with her foster mom.  Then her very own forever family came along.  Including her new sister (the little white dog)!

 

Abby is doing awesome she loves the dog park and is doing better in the car!

Fun at the dog park


Steel turns One

This handsome boy is Steel!  He was rescued from Polk AS by Lost Angels when he was just 6 weeks old.  He was all alone in that shelter and just a tiny pup!  He was sick with kennel cough and he just wanted to sleep on someone's lap with his poor little snotty bubbly nose and yucky cough.  He got better quickly though and was SUCH A GOOD PUPPY! 

 

A few months later Steel found his forever home.  His mom and dad love him to pieces.  Steel turns One year old this month.  His favorite activity is snuggles with mom or dad.
