Jake (formerly Rommel)
Went to a couple in New Braunsfels. He was rescued by one GSD's volunteers who saved him from the Pound when he
was about six months old. As you can see, Rommel is a very handsome boy and is very happy in his new life. See 2004
for stories about Jake's adopted sister Gracie

Lokie (formerly angel)
Search and Rescue. Lokie was adopted by the woman and is also being trained in Search and Rescue. Lokie, which
means "God of Mischief", is now part of a wonderful team and has a terrific home. Thanks to Rescue, Lokie's life was
saved - some day she may save a human life.
From Lokie's guardian, Decmeber, 2003: Please forgive me for not writing sooner! Loki is absolutely adorable and I
could not have gotten a better GSD. She is still mischevious and I have recently begun to crate her again when she is left
alone for short periods because she grows bored. Other than that she is a doll! I found an obedience group to which
Loki and I go to every Sunday for about an hour. She is making great progress in it and the other participants always
compliment her beauty and how well she is doing. Back in the beginning of November Jay and I took our dogs camping
with us. This was Loki's first time and she loved it. She enjoyed being out in the wilderness and swimming in the lake
as well as taking long walks on trails. We plan to go on many more camping/hiking trips as soon as the weather warms
up a bit.
I know I say this every time, but THANK YOU SO MUCH for letting me adopt her. She is a joy to
have around.

Luger
Lunger was adopted by a couple in Dallas who really adore him. The husband had a white shepherd when he
was young and so a special place in his heart for them. The couple also have several kids, and now they also
have Luger who is making wonderful memories for them as well.
From Luger's Family, October, 2003:
Just writing you to give you a update on Luger. He's gotten out a couple of times but we have been able to catch
him when he tires. He is getting along well with friends and family and wakes me up at night to go out and use it
(LOL), which I don't mind at all. [He] goes out at night just to bark at anything out there. We're extending our fence
to give him more room to run.

Jesse
Jesse was a real mess when we pulled him from the shelter. He was badly emaciated and had a severely
injured leg. He has grown into a handsome boy who is much loved by his new family.

Buster
Buster was one of the fastest placements ever. He was pulled from town lake during lunch and taken to work.
A co-worker who had been devastated by the loss of her canine companion fell in love with him at first site and took
him home wonderful with grandkids.

Ada and Colin
Ada and Colin (her brother) were adopted by a young couple - sight unseen by the husband who was in Iraq at
the time.
Update: I just wanted to update you on Colin and Ada! They're both doing very good and we're starting training
next week. They both have fit into our family very well and love the cats and children! They are also very
protective of me, which is what I wanted. I have taken some pictures of them, but haven't developed them yet,
but when I do I will send you some! Thanks again Bev! Kendra, Ada, and Colin

Baron
Baron is doing quite well. He and my son are like two peas in a pod. We're going to Triple Crown Dog Training
Academy this evening.... We should start classes next week. He's a great pup. Just working on fine tuning his
potty training skills-he seems to like to potty in the house (sometimes) the garage and my flower beds.
Update from Baron's Guardian, on August 3, 2004 writes:Baron is doing great. He has grown to 30 lbs! His
weight on his first visit was 16 lbs. The vet said to keep him lean so taht his jonts will have less stress on them
as he grows bigger. He was at the westgate vet clinic on 7/17/04. He was given his booster shot and general
physical exam. Baron also learned the following commands: SIT, STAY, SHAKE HANDS. He is a very smart and
friendly puppy. He learns quickly and is very active and playful. He has scattered all his toys in the backyard and
loves to chase down the bugs. Sometimes when we go for a walk Baron funs so fast that I have to sprint to keep
up with him. He is always sniffing as if he is tracking down someone. Maybe his parents were rescue dogs.

Onyx
Onyx was a black lab (and brother to Taz - see 2002) had only a few more minutes to live when we rescued him from the shelter. He came to
us without knowing the joys of playing with toys or other puppy stuff. His personality quickly came out, and he became a lively, affectionate
boy. Onyx now lives with his new family in Central Texas, and is enjoying his puppy hood.

Duke (formerly Axel) and Bailey (formerly Jessica)
From Duke & Bailey's guardian, November, 2003 - Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know the
dogs are doing great. They've really settled in to their new home very quickly and seem like extremely
happy dogs. They love to run around the back yard and chase each other and then come inside and play
with their toys. Axel is a wonderful watch dog and always makes sure the house is secure, while
Jessica just wants her tummy rubbed. At night, Axel prefers to sleep by the door in the bedroom and
Jessica has found her way on to the bed every time she's ready to go to sleep. They also took a long car
ride out to Westlake on Wednesday evening and did great. They're going to the vet Friday morning just to
get a checkup and on Saturday they are getting bathed and cleaned up. Take care and thanks for doing
such a wonderful job with the two of them. They are a joy to have around and everyone in our house has
already fallen in love with both of them.
