Alta - (formerly Angie) is fitting in very nicely in her
new home. Here is a report from her new Mom:
Angie is a wonderful fit into our home. She's so easy
going, slept great all night in her crate, loves being
with the kids, and is totally content to lay around and
sleep with other things going on around her.
Update: From Alta's guardian, August 4, 2004,
writes: [Beverly] I wanted to give you an update on
Alta (Angie-photo to left). She's doing great and
continues to be an awesome dog. The kids call her
"Miss Mellow" and everyone that meets her,
including our vet, comments on how relaxed she is.

Chester (formerly Jake) - This lucky boy just barely
escaped a death sentence and is now living the
good life in a home where he gets round the clock
attention. He has an active family (which he needs
because he is a bundle of energy!) who were very
excited to bring him into to their home and give him
the love and care he deserves.

Clark - Clark, Heath and Andy were abandoned
by their owner. Clark got adopted first by a
family in South Austin who loved him very much.
Sadly after several months he became ill, and
despite heroic efforts to save him, he passed
away. His adopted parents grieved for him and
when they were ready to adopt again, they
adopted his brother Heath who was still in
rescue. For more on Heath, see Success
Stories, 2005.

Dylan (formerly Patton) - Dylan's adopter writes: He
is the most precious thing. When I call him my "little
boy", he closes his eyes and nuzzles his head as far
into my lap as he can. When I scold him for
something, he comes right to my side and sits there
until I am through reading him the riot act. He knows
how to open all of my kitchen cabinets and searches
the refrigerator when I open the door to get
something out. So far he has been successful at
filling his tummy with two steaks, ready for the grill; a
bowl of red beans and a birthday cake. Not bad!
On the brighter side, he has not torn anything (of
value) up. And he knows what is his to play with and
what is off limits. He loves to run up and down the
stairs with the toys, knowing that Savannah can't
make it up there to retrieve them when he snatches
them away from her. He has definitely found a friend
in Savannah. She puts up with so much from him. But
when she has had enough, she lets him have it.
That's when he comes running to me for comfort.
He hasn't put on much weight (67 lbs), but it isn't
because of lack of food. The vet says he is very
healthy and getting plenty of nourishment. However,
he does want me to keep him out of the fridge.I can't
tell you how much I have fallen in love with this little
(big) guy.

Emma is a sweet girl who's living it up in her new
home. Here's another note from her new Dad:
It has almost been a year since we got Emma. She
is doing very well. She is very energetic and will play
fetch for hours. It is even better if she can fetch
something in the water as she goes swimming almost
every day. We have decided that she is the
personification of playfulness. She continues to do
well with the other animals and is quite the
watchdog-bark only, no biting!

Foxie (formerly Theona) Foxie's foster parents
totally adore her. She sleeps with them and
goes boating with them. As you can see from
the pictures, they are inseparable. Here's a note
from Mom:
Our Baby is doing great. Attached are pictures taken on the
pontoon boat taken yesterday. Foxie acted like she has been
boating many times. I think she enjoyed it and was relaxed
because she even napped from time to time. She has fit in
perfectly with all of us, even the cats.

Haley (formerly Bailey) - Haley, the sweet little
catahoula/mix has been adopted by a co-worker of
her foster mom's. She is adapting very well and has
totally won the heart of her adopter and the
adopter's son. After a small bout with bronchitis and
a tennis shoe or two (not from the same pair either)
all have come to an understanding and are living life
as a family. Haley gets to share her new momma's
bed and is loving every minute of it.

Kira - this beautiful girl, along with her 10 year
old male GSD house mate, was dropped off at a
kill-shelter on Christmas Eve. She was pretty
stressed out when she came to her foster home.
One day, she figured out the lock on the gate, and
when her foster mom came home - Kira was gone!
Luckily, she was found the next day - turns out she
had just gone down the road to the neighbors house
and had spent the night in his bed. A long time
volunteer and friend of GSD Rescue fell in love with
her. Kira has found a new happy life with two other
GSDs (see Success Stories 2001) and her new
human who gives her lots of love and attention and
treats her like the princess she is.
