From Marta to Mustangs, Giddyup little Marney! Marney is doing great and I am enjoying her so much. Within 2
days of being here she was loose
with my other 3 dogs and holding her own. My old dog still doesn’t
care for her much, but...
Last night he slept in her spot next to my bed and when I woke up
this morning she was sleeping next to him.
My other two girl dogs love to play with her and have taught her how
to use the doggie door and how to bark
at horses and run the fence if anything moves in the distance. She
still hasn’t figured out the barking yet,
but I am sure that she will. My grandchildren love her and she loves
to chase them around the house and the yard.
She loves to go out to the barn and meet all my students, who can’t
keep their hands off her. She has grown
so much in this short time that it is unbelievable. Again, I can’t
thank you enough for letting
us bring her home and become part of our family. We will keep in
touch. Beverly
How'd Santa know I wanted this particular coat? Savannah got chew bones, a leather collar, and a coat for
Christmas.
Merry Christmas, Kristina, Mike Savannah, Buddy, and Bailey
Wow, looks like I have a lot of yard to grow into!
Hooray for me!! Thank you so much for helping me to find
such a sweet home to live in. They have a whole big backyard
that is just there for me to play in, and they said that they will
love me forever and ever!
I love them and am so happy here! Thank you again for helping me to
find a forever home!
I love my new Mommy and Daddy! Love, Butch Tucker
A pup Pooh would be proud of! We just wanted to send you an update on Brutus (formerly Eeyore).
He is growing up quickly and we love having him as part of our
family! Thanks!
Tim and Lindsay
Bono (now Cubbie) U2 look divine! Happy 1 year birthday!
Lennon (now Lenox) with Anna. Imagine all the puppies living life
in peace...
Just saw his brother's picture (Cubbie) in your newsletter! Could
they look any more alike??
It has been a fabulous year with Lenox. He is such a sweet boy! What
did we ever do before we had him?
Thank you (and your team) for bringing him into our lives. Happy
Holidays!
Anna (age 9) and Lenox (age 1)
Loss is always difficult; having another to love becomes our breath
when we can't seem to catch it.
I cannot tell you how happy we are, especially now, to have Wisdom (Tesa)
with us.
It is with absolute heartbreak that we lost one of our best friends,
partner in crime and snuggle monster...
Angel graced our lives for over 11 years and we were blessed to have
had her rescue us. Tesa who followed Angel’s
lead when she came into our family, has stepped in and loved us
more. Angel you will be missed, but never forgotten.
We want to Thank you and Mutt Madd-ness for allowing us to share our
love and home with Tesa.
Best regards, The Munson’s
Chewie Louie - How do you doey? Looks like that
would be a gigantic GREAT! Hi Barbara - Happy Holidays!! Louie is learning to "play dead"
but he can't seem to get his butt on the ground.
Floppy will come over and push his butt down with his paw like he's
showing him what to do so he can get his treat.
It is hilarious. The two of them are like little boys, always
jumping at each other to play.
Molly and Raban enjoying some quality TV & snack time together :)
Just wanted to tell you thank you again... We went to PetSmart to
get a crate, a toy and all the pertinent puppy stuff.
We took her for a walk around the neighborhood, fed her, and she
CRASHED! She went into her crate no problem,
just walked right in, and she insists on being cuddled up with
someone to which we oblige.
She is doing quite well so far, and Raban is so happy and
enthusiastic to have the dog he wanted. He ran her a
little tonight and is taking his job very seriously. They have quite
taken with each other!
It took a Great "scout" to discover this group. Scout (wearing tan) enjoying Thanksgiving at the lake with the Skole Bro's,
Marmie (Mom), and cousin Ripken!
Brodi glad to see you are finally off the roadie..! Hope all is well with you guys as the holidays approach. Brodi
is doing well. He's gotten big.
Started calming down. Brodi enjoyed his first snow fall. Karen
Mick (née
CR) and Dabo (née Brad) you look like a great pair of hunter
bookends! Enjoying the fall air under mom's watchful and loving
eyes! Scarlett you are a great mom!
Two baby boys - YEAH you & happy them...!
Maggie (née Josie) and dad -- it's a mutual
admiration society :)
We adopted her last month and she settled in immediately. She is
very smart and trained us pretty quickly.
She lets us know when she needs to go outside to do her business and
also lets us know when its time to
go to bed at night. She also lets us know when she wants to get in
our lap for a nap which is always.
She loves running and jumping in the backyard ivy that is over her
head.
She terrorizes twigs and sticks but only licks people.
She is a great new member of the family.
Biggie - small in size, BIG in love! A sweet pic of Biggie asleep on the couch. We absolutely love
him and continue to spoil him daily!
He has made our life so wonderful! Thank you again for bringing us
together! Jill
Could you just eat this little one up?! TOBY ... Yummy. Toby, you have made yourself right at home with your new mom and
dad. We see you have flipped for your new life! :)
Norman enjoying fall with Ryan and Reagan...his best buddies :o).
Norman/Cider is just absolutely thriving! He has gotten bigger,
loves his kids and his new backyard,
has successfully finished house training (he is very smart!) and has
gotten quite used to being around a group of
people and other dogs. He is loving his new life!! They were playing
in a big leaf pile. He loves leaves. Julie
Winnie you got it going girl - love your summer
"California girl" look! I just wanted to update Mutt Madd-ness on how “Winnie” aka Zoey
has been doing and thank you again for bringing her into our lives.
She is such a huge part of our family and I don’t know what I would
do without her. We all love her so much and she fits right in with
our
family. We all thought she would be on the smaller side, but she is
proving us wrong at a lean 23lbs at 5 and 1/2 months old.
She is full of energy and love.
We spend our evenings playing ball in the yard with both dogs and
they love it! e hit a tennis ball with a bat and they play the
outfield.
She is so fascinated with the change of season (especially the
falling leaves) and I love experiencing that with her.
Every day she discovers something new. Carrie
Those Lions are amazing at capturing
elephants...go Simba! Simba in pursuit of a fluffy toy!
Enjoy a video of their super sneaky puppy!
Thanks again , we just love him. The Edelson's
Hey Toby, after hot rod-ing all day with dad, can see how that
cool floor looks appealing... We just wanted to let you know how Toby was doing in his new
home. He has settled in to say the least. He is so sweet and
fun to have around. We are still working on leash training and
coming when called, but he is doing really well with
potty training. He spent all last week at Nanette's and she spoiled
him rotten! He has already grown so much and
his pretty blue eyes are changing to brown. Thanks for everything,
Rachel and Eric
Dexter you could not look more content and we do
understand about the Katy Perry/Elmo thing! Hi! Here are a few pictures of Dexter (formally Wagner) :) He is
a wild man who loves to have fun with
the kids but also enjoys a good snuggle! Thanks again!
~The Davis Family
Peyton (Angie) put the final touches on her new
home construction project. You go girl!
Thank you for all that you and everyone at Mutt Maddness have done
to make Peyton the happy and healthy little
girl she is today. I cannot express in words how much joy Peyton has
brought to us.
-Amanda and Michael
Kahuna "Dude" Wake up the surf is rollin' - oh,
never mind! Just a note to let you know that 'Buster'
(formerly Kahuna) is a PERFECT fit for our lively household! He is
doing well
with his potty training AND is starting to grasp bell training, so
we are really excited! He loves the boys and plays
with them very well, and we've even noticed a new spring to our
older dog, Dolly's, step!
Thank you again for your help in making sure we had a perfect fit
for our family! We are really happy! Heather
Hey Brodie, where are those long legs taking you?
Looks like straight to the massage!
Brodi is doing well. Fitting in great. He has a super personality.
He's very passive for a puppy.
Don't get me wrong he likes to play!!!! First two days he he didn't
like the long walks...now he runs and runs....
Ginger is one very spicy pup and cuter than cute!
Meet Sluggo one of our LARGEST
success stories..."Hey corgi's he's a lot to herd, you may just have
to love him!"
Sluggo is settling into his new routine. He has many, many toys he
destroys them pretty quick.
He is sitting and staying on command and we are working on the down
and stay.
He is getting at minimum one walk in the evening and many laps
around the backyard
whenever he wants
followed closely by the Corgi's...
Max showing off his bedtime wrestling moves... Hello, I haven't done a good job of updating you on our dog, but
here are some recent pictures of Max (original name was Hudson)
whom we adopted in June of 2009. He is about 80 lbs and is very much
loved by my son as you can see.
He is very high energy and when I take him to the dog park or to
doggie day care he plays non-stop.
He is a very sweet and loving dog. Thanks again for the opportunity
to adopt him for my son's birthday last year! Duane
Morgan, un-hmmm YODA, may the force be with you...:-) Just thought I'd let you know that Morgan is doing great. We
love her very much and she is really enjoying it here.
She loves the backyard and playing in her doggie pool. She has
bonded very well with everyone and
my 4 yr old son and her are best buddies. We've had lots of friends
over because we have quite the blueberry crop.
She is getting better and better with strangers. Looking forward to
the many years ahead of us. Andy, Heather & Nate
Another Brilliant Mutt Madd-ness
Pup - Louie graduating Summa Canine-laude. Congratulations! Louie recently graduated from his PetSmart class. He was the
star pupil of course! I really love my Louie and Louie loves
everyone.
My co-workers say I am like a new Mom; always talking about him,
carrying dog treats in my purse and showing off his pictures.
I lucked out when I walked into PetSmart that Saturday and talked to
you and Karen. Of course I think he landed on his paws too!
Thanks, Rebecca ( Louie's Mom )
Little Winnie has sprouted into Little Zoey She is one happy puppy, who loves rolling around in the yard and
playing chase (and wrestling)
with her big brother Ziggy.
Fritter now Langston has his college roommate thing down pat! The first photo is when he convinced me to take a study break.
Can't resist that face! The 2nd was on the 4th of July.
We went to a cookout and he was holding my seat while I went to get
some more potato salad.:-) Kali
What is it with Mutt Madd-ness Dogs and Lounging?!
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ they're cute... Just wanted to update you on Nessa. We
re-named her Sophie and she is full of life!!
The Border Collie has certainly emerged, as she will not let one of
us out of her sight. I guess we should have named her “Shadow”.
She is the biggest foodie and will steal a banana right out of your
hand. Her favorite, most loved toy is our daughter’s
old soccer ball. She could have been a star player for the USA team
at the world cup.
We love her. Keep up the good work at Mutt Maddness! All the best,
Parks family Kert, Kelly, Emma and Will
The is one Spike that you don't mind being stuck with! Spike is doing great. He is eat and drinking like a champ. He
loves to play in the lawn with us and likes to go on walks.
Spike and Josh are having so much fun together as you can see in the
picture. Spike also likes to take long naps on his new pillow.
We will continue to keep you updated on how he is. Thanks you so
much for our cute little boy! The Elliott's
They Love their Reese's to pieces!
Reese (now Denver) is 9 months old and loads of fun! We are
delighted to have him,
he's very sweet and plays constantly with our 3 boys and older dog.

Smokey is having a smokin' good time - thanks to
you guys! Then and now, WOW! It has been almost a year to the day since we adopted Smokey
from Mutt Maddness-- I can't believe how fast time flies!
I think we were actually one of your first "adopters" after meeting
you and Smokey at the Pet Smart on Johnson Ferry Road.
As I recall, Smokey had a sister
and a mother who you also rescued. My two sons and I saw Smokey and
fell in love with him. Before we officially adopted him we went on
the Mutt Maddness website and printed off a picture of Smokey and
both boys, to this day, still have that picture above their beds.
Smokey has been a wonderful addition to our family and I can't even
imagine a day without him. He is well cared for and well loved! He
loves going to my in-laws cabin about two hours outside of Atlanta
and wading in the creek and pond. I just wanted to update you and
let you know what a great life he has and what a blessing he has
been to us. Keep up the great work with Mutt Maddness!
Fondly, Jeannie, Patrick and Kevin
I wanted to
give you an update on how much we love Gypsy (aka Sammie)! She never
ceases to amaze us in regards to her happy attitude, her
playfulness, her gentleness and her intelligence. There was
literally no adjustment - she simply fit into our home as if she has
lived here forever. She greets us when we come home as if we are the
most special people on Earth, and she smiles all the time! I wanted
to thank for all that you do in not only helping needy animals find
homes but also in helping families find joy through these wonderful
animals!
Sincerely,
Janine Searcy
Our little hockey pup Annie has nothing but
stars in her eyes since finding Abbe and Kari ...Dallas Stars that
is! Annie is doing great she's just one of the
crew! She's so big now you wouldn't believe it but she definitely
still acts like a big puppy
and is crazy as ever. She's been a wonderful addition to the family
because she has the happiest personality! She is a mama's girl
for sure she follows me so closely sometimes that she steps on the
back of my flip flops as I'm walking ha ha! Abbe
Stetson Pre & Post Adoption - doesn't matter which
side he's on - he's still feeling the love...yum!! We love him so much, thank you for all you
do :-) The Stockard Family
Who needs a Finn when you have a brother like Eli! You go Huck! Huck and Eli are starting to act like brothers..... they have
fun running in the yard together and have begun to share a dog bed!
A sprinkle a day... Sprinkles, now named Allie, is doing great and loves to be
active. She goes for at least one walk a day and is now spending her
weekend at a variety of parks in the area. She also did very well
with potty training and hasn't had an accident in quite awhile. And
although she is active she loves to cuddle and take naps too. :)
She's got quite the personality and loves life, especially when she
pulls all her toys out in the living room. All is well, I can't
imagine life without her! Chantelle
Willie has finally found home! Our sweet little Pyrenees, under the guidance, patience and love
from his new family and a couple of buddies, finally
knows what it feels like to be home. We are so thrilled with how
he's doing - he deserved a great life and he got one!
What a picture perfect Snow Angel little Loki is!
Homer is doing great. Putting on some weight and growing bigger by
the day. We ended up renaming him Loki and
he's getting along with Wolf a little better every day. He's getting
some black hair in on his back...
it started with just a few hairs but now its spreading more.
Combine that together with his attitude and the way his body looks
and we think he might be mixed with Corgi.
Although it does still seem a mystery what he really is a mix of. At
least we know the Husky part. He likes to nip
at heels and at Wolf's fur trying to herd us around; so I could
easily see Corgi or Aussie.
He loved the snow the other day... he kept playing with it and
eating it and trying to make
doggie snow angels by laying down in it and rolling around.

Stella getting her groove thing on with Stitch (now Keeko) She is doing GREAT!! She is already responding to "keeko" and is
such a sweet puppy. She woke up at 4am the first
night whimpering. We let her sleep in our bed that night and she was
a snuggle puppy!
The funny thing has been seeing Stella get a little envious. She's
torn between loving the puppy and not
getting all the attention. This will be great for all of us!
Jake and Leo - nee Schultz & Bowtie...when Germany met the Donut
it was love at first bite! Here are my boys!!! I love the picture of Jake in the
dishwasher... He is such a big boy! - Dianna
What a Jewel! She certainly makes us
sparkle...she's like polished amber. We have had so much fun raising Jewels. She is an absolute blast
to be around. We weighed her last at a nail clipping
visit and she was about 55 pounds. And that's at only about 6 months
old! She is so well behaved and very smart.
She loves other dogs, and of course trips to the dog parks. We
couldn't have found a better puppy. I thank everyone
at Mutt Maddness for helping us find the perfect playmate and the
best friend we could ask for. Best wishes and keep
up the great rescue work. Sincerely, Tony, Stephanie and Jewels
Zelda - Re-meet your sister Jewels (photo above)
WOW - these sisters are yummy! Zelda is great-quite the guard dog and a bit shy w/ strangers
till she gets to know them. Most folks think she
has Shepherd and/or Akita in her...beautiful coat and almost 50 lbs
at the moment. If only she'd stop chasing our cat Viola!
Peace, Michelle
Meg and Skip you sure have a
cutie on your hands. Cooper is stellar! Looks just like his sisters Jewels and Zelda... WHAT?*%$! Who's
your daddy?
It's little Lulu 'our knuckling over pup' relaxing
at her mountain top home & playing with Roscoe. I can't say enough about the happiness LuLu has brought into our
home. We thought having a third dog inside might
be too much but when we saw LuLu on your website it was
decided...she stole our hearts. Roscoe (our American Pit Bull)
has been teaching her how to play and when necessary how to behave.
They are so much fun to watch run and can play
tug-of-war forever. Mandy (Aussie /Lab mix) is most patient and
allows LuLu to climb all over her and chew her ears.
LuLu loves our vet and we do believe she is getting better with her
front legs. She only "knuckles over" when very tired.
She is growing like a weed and is trying to eat us out of house and
home! All I can say is we totally love her and
can't imagine our lives with out her. She is our forever girl.
Denise and Bob
Brady (aka Andy) one of our tennis tag team.
Looking for love!
He found it with Jana!
Viva La Juneaux, our little Alaskan bon vivant
loves being part of the Fox family!
He is doing really well! He is very smart, learned his basic
commands in no time at all. He gets lots of attention.
He has been a great addition to the family, and the little stinker
is ALMOST potty trained. He will sit by the front door to go out,
but if you don’t come when he is silently waiting…he will give us a
surprise, LOL.
We are thinking of giving him a bell at the door since he refuses to
bark unless it is play time!
Marble now Roxy knows how to play her hand! First she's playing clean up on just about anything she can
find...forget the recycle company. Bad Roxy!
And then she plays cute sleeping with her big sister. What are we
going to do?
Baby Hugo with the other "dude" - DAD and kissing
sister Maya. We are still undecided on a name for him but here are some
pictures! Him and Maya have already developed a kinship
with one another. We couldn’t be happier with our new addition. Erin
and Billy
One of Shakespeare's Gentlemen Glaze - now
Petruchio enjoying just a few of his toys. Do I see spoiled,
spoiled, toil and trouble? I think
he's actually tamed the shrew...we knew with looks like his she
would succumb.
Cherie AKA "Principessa" - I see a very spoiled
girl and love it!!
Attached are portraits of Greyce Cherie. She has been an absolute
joy. Thank you again for all your help and guidance.
Feel free to come visit her whenever you like. I'll keep you updated
with portraits as she grows. Thanks, Michael
ONCE AN ALLIE, NOW A CALLIE and ONE (MAKE THAT
TWO) VERY HAPPY GIRLS!
...You'll
be thrilled to know that Callie is getting along GREAT with our cat.
She's getting along great with our two other doggies-
she ranks below our Staffie and above the fox hound, and shares all
of her toys, treats and even her pillow and kennel
with the others. She's loving the 5 acres that she gets to run
around on, and hopefully she won't be TOO mad at me
when she comes home to only a big backyard!
Anyway, I
just wanted to give you an update about Callie. Oh, and everyone who
sees her falls in love with her, they say how
adorable she is! Callie definitely is a part of my family now, and I
am just indescribably thrilled with how amazing she is.
I will definitely try to make it up on the 25th, hopefully I'll be
able to bring her up and show her off!
Thanks
again, I'm so grateful to have found my dog through you all!
Regards, Corin
Nevada the Charmer
Stephen and Joy are absolutely in love with this
little girl. She has them totally wrapped, but we think that's what
it's all about!
Gigi, now "Sammy" keeps her eye on the camera. This little cutie knows how photogenic and how
happy she is with her new family.
Small things now come in 40# packages, all to the delight of her
buddies.
Lizzy Getting Settled.
Brie (right) welcoming her new
baby sister 4 month old Lizzy. We think they look beautiful together
and Brie is delighted to have a sibling to romp around the house
with. Brie and Lizzy are both Mutt Madd-ness rescues and fabulous
children to Nancy and Greg.
Greg's note to Joel who
originally rescued Lizzy:
"...She is doing awesome
and is an incredible puppy. It is overwhelmingly apparent that you
were a major influence on her early development and provided her
with a safe and loving environment. Thanks again for being so kind
and providing our new girl with a wonderful place to stay, you are a
very kind man."
Maggie, Snow Princess!
Here is
Maggie and her big brother playing in the snow! She is doing great.
Thanks for a great daughter!

Ricco
Alert! Hey handsome...
Hi Barbara, I
just wanted share a new picture of Ricco. You will never believe how
big he is getting....weighed in at 46 pounds yesterday. Do you have
any news on any of his siblings? Are they as big as him? Are they
all doing OK? He is a total sweetheart and very smart and
I don't think there is a mean bone in his body.
Sincerely, Kelly
Marley looking cuter
than ever!
Just
wanted to let you know that we are still madly in puppy love with
our Birch (now Marley) that we adopted from you this past summer. He
continues to be a dream come true for our family! It is still so
hard to comprehend that he was a rescue from a shelter! We are truly
convinced that he really is the BEST PUPPY IN THE WORLD and we just
wonder how we go so lucky!!! Thank you for making it possible.
Birch loved jumping in the autumn leaves in the fall and was
featured in our Christmas card this past holiday season.
Hope you enjoy the photos. He says "hello" and "woof-woof" to you!
If you are ever in the Dalton area
or traveling north on I-75 we would LOVE for you to visit!
Sincerely, Chrissy
Dante our little snow loving
pup!
Bella of the Balla Just wanted to give you an update on Bella. Bella
is doing very well and growing.
Bella still likes to cuddle as you can see by one of the pictures.
She does have her moments of being a wild child but she is still
learning. She still likes to chew on things so we are working on
that and of course she still has a couple accidents every now and
then.
Over all she has adapted well and we love her to death.
I will send update pics as she grows so you can see her mature.
Talk to you later and thanks again for allowing us to adopt her. Tim
Maggie enjoying the dog's life.
Attached are a couple of my favorites and, as you can
see, I think she's made herself comfortable!!
She is such a joy; always happy and ready for adventure. She's very
smart too, and has been so easy to train.
When she's tired, she will just curl up with me in a chair. She and
her new pals, Elvis and Ellie, are quite the trio! Ann
A Happy - Content Juliette
Juliette is doing
great. She has mastered a couple of tricks including crawl and
shake. She has befriended my parents’ 3 year old
lab/setter mix. She
comes when she called even when there are birds which I think are
her favorite thing since food. Kelsey
Sweet Sierra with Mama Brie. The pups are adored by their families and live
close enough to play together.
