Thank you

We are back in Washington now, after spending the winter in Arizona. Maggie (Penelope) has been a wonderful addition to our family. She is the most loving little dog and gets along with her Brittany "sisters" beautifully. I knew she was my dog the minute I saw her at 2011 Dog Days. I was not sure if it was a good time for me get a young dog – but she was my dog and that was that. I have a necklace with a charm that says "My dog rescued me", on each side of the charm are three pink beads. Maggie came into my life right in the middle of six weeks of radiation therapy for breast cancer. She helped me a lot with the healing process.
Maggie May took a basic obedience class in AZ. She did very well; it took awhile for her to learn "downs". She just did not want to do them, but does them great now.
I have enclosed some pictures of her. She is a very happy little girl.
Hopefully we will be able to see each other this year at Dog Days and you will see how happy everyone is.
Thank you for Maggie!

Happy Tail

May 13, 2012

Monkey just turned 4! Out of his 4 years, I've been in his life for 3 1/2 and haven't stopped smiling since. From early on, we developed a loving, trusting and respecting bond for each other. He is the LOVE OF MY LIFE and the APPLE OF MY EYE. Thank you for all that you do to help Save One Pet at a Time.

Bergen (aka Mr. Deeks)

We adopted Mr. Deeks (Shepherd mix) in April of 2011 and we couldn't be more happy. We renamed him to Bergen (which he helped pick) and he has been a wonderful addition to our family. He is the most loving dog (who loves to cuddle and kiss) and is so playful he's a joy to have in our family. Not knowing where he came from, we weren't sure what to expect but he made it through obedience training and knows his basic commands. We also weren't sure what to expect of him when we took him camping for the first time last Fall. He absolutely loves camping (Yeah!) and being in the trailer as well as outside laying next to the campfire with us. We took him out to Long Beach and he loved the open beach but barked and backed away from the tiny little waves coming in. We are so thankful we found SPOT and Bergen!
