2009 Mutt Madd-ness Rescue Stories (our first year). Notes & photos from our families...

Just wanted to send you a quick update to let you know how much we are all enjoying Sam! He is such a good boy and has really come out of his shell in the past couple of weeks! He is totally comfortable with Nicole now and has been warming up to the men in the house too (little Brian and Dale). Of course, I’m “his person”, which I just love!!!

...he is so cute, we just love him! A big thanks to you and to Mutt Maddness for everything you’ve done for Sam.
 

Hi Barbara,

"Birch" (Marley) has got to be the coolest dude ever rescued from Mutt Madd-ness!!! He absolutely loves his puppy pool!!! He pounces and splashes like crazy!!! Wonder if we could teach him to surf?

...little Birch is growing and thriving beautifully. He has doubled his weight since we adopted him in July, and has learned lots of commands and tricks. His disposition is a wonderful blend of playful, obedient, loyal, and calm. We thank God every day for his rescue and still wonder how we ever got so lucky. Dog Gone It!!! Marley really is the best puppy in the world!

Sincerely, Chrissy


Hi, Barbara,

I’m sending a few photos of the best little puppy in the world, Scout Grimes. We adore her, and she is as brilliant and sweet and snuggly as she is gorgeous. As you can see, she is very much a part of our family.

Thanks so much for all that you do to help so many dogs, and thank you for helping us make our family complete with the perfect puppy addition!

Blessings,
The Grimes Family
Joel, Lee, Meghan, and Tyler

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Irizarry Family with Ginger


Barbara,

I am sending you a short note on Ginger with a few pictures for your web-site success stories, because Ginger has been a "great success" to us.

Adopted as Ginger: Now still Ginger (name too "Great" to change) - joined our family late April 2009 at approximately 9 weeks old.

Ginger has been a great addition to our family and quickly has learned her way around the family house. She has been the perfect pet, house trained in only 2 short weeks and hasn't had an accident to date. She loves her toys and hasn't gotten into anything although has had many chances, she is just happy to be a good puppy...Well she may have a slight web-kins stuff animal fetish but nothing we can't handle.

She is by far the best dog we have owned and we accredit that all to Barbara and her wonderful family who nurtured Ginger along with her litter mates from the day they were born to the day of adoption. 

Ginger is our third pet we have owned from a puppy in our 25 years of marriage. She has been an extremely wonderful pet with a great disposition and lots of love to share.

As I write she is quietly sitting by my feet gnawing happily at her bone. She has brought much joy to our
family at a time we were mourning the loss of our pet dog, Ruby of nine years and did a great job to win our
hearts in the way that pets do!

Thanks Barbara for all you do!!!  


Hunter now "Herschel" adopted June 6th.

Just wanted to send a short message to you and let you know that things are going great with our new baby, Herschel! Better than we could have ever expected! He has been an angel and truly a blessing to our family. I also want to thank you and all of our new friends at Mutt Maddness for allowing us the opportunity to bring such a wonderful pup into our home. Our lives will be forever changed, for the better, with him around!

I have attached a few pics of the little guy and the boys. They all look a little tired in each of the photos, probably because it is perpetual motion around here from sun up till sun down! Hope all is well!

Introducing, Cayenne Clark.
Our 4 month old, boxer mix male pup who has made a surprise and grand entrance into our family.
He is totally adorable and we are so happy to have him with us! Kodi finally has someone to romp with and Harley can be the watchful older brother. Skyler is definitely the proud older sister! Who says that siblings must be human??
Love to you all.
Sharon, Adam, Skyler, Harley, Kodi, and Cayenne


Ranger with his new family!


Shep is amazing! I'm not sure any 14-year-old boy and dog have ever loved each other so much! Shep stands by Corey's bed and cries when he leaves, and Corey is VERY protective of "his" dog. "Mom... his food dish was empty when I got home."


Hi Barbara,
All is well with Birch and we are loving him beyond words!!! In the meanwhile, here are a couple of photos from his first week with us. Thanks so very much for putting him into our world!!!!
Sincerely,
Chrissy
