The dogs listed below were originally thought to need training partners. Ann, using her expertise was able to determine that these "kids" were ready to go directly into their forever homes.

Read the latest about Minnie Mouse (Gia), Freeway, Pebbles, Fathead, Sugar and Ariel's new families!

Minnie Mouse- (renamed Gia, after the supermodel!): She’s doing great! She loves going for car rides, and sits perfectly still in the passenger seat. She sleeps with her person in bed. She is learning lots of good manners in her training class. When Gia is in the yard, she lets her family know when she wants back in by staring at them in the window.

Sugar- She is the best thing in their lives! They buy her new toys all the time. They are so protective of her that they were afraid to leave her at the boarding kennel over the holidays because they didn’t want her to get sad!

Freeway- He doing better than great! They totally love him and think he’s the best! He makes them laugh all the time. He is learning a lot in his training class. At home, he has his upstairs blanket and his downstairs blanket. Everyday when the daughter gets home from school, she sends pictures via phone to her mom (who is still at work) showing the latest Freeway! They love Freeway so much! Everyone in the neighborhood loves him, too!

Pebbles- They love her! She plays with the other dogs and is great with the cats! She is so happy finally living in a house! She goes on beach walks daily! She’s excellent with the baby! (This is the dog that spent 3 years in the shelter system!)

Fathead- He is getting spoiled, living with his adopted family and their new puppy. He plays with the puppy, and is so gentle! He sleeps in bed with his dad and mom.

Ariel- She is doing great! She loves going running everyday. She follows her mom all around the house, not wanting to miss anything. She is so good with their baby!

This wonderful news shows how these great dogs are thriving, all it took was someone to give them a chance.
