| Phoenix - Phoenix has found his home with his foster mom. What a lucky boy. |
Kobi - Kobi has been adopted by a family from Pflugerville.
October 10, 2006. Here is an update from his adopters:
"His name is Sammie now, and he is adjusted and very happy. He even
knows what time my son comes in from playing outside because they wrestle
every evening and he has his head stuck through the blinds looking for him."

Blaze and Fritz (formerly Bronson) have been adopted.
October 15, 2006. Here is an update from their adopters:
"Blaze is settling in nicely. He's very calm and just likes to relax next to me in
my office. He also might be simply waiting for his next walk (and being very
polite). He is a great home protector. This morning, early-early, I let them
both out to pee and Blaze noticed something not-quite-right. He bellowed his
most protective, impressive GSD bark before going to investigate.
As I write, Blaze is sleeping next to my chair. My computer lab is his new 'den'
(we share). In just one night there has been an amazing change in
temperament! He's learned to just sit next to me and calmly enjoy our
company. I'm a little worried about my office-chair rolling over feet and he
doesn't like me pulling him out a safe distance.
Fritz is still very much a puppy - deceiving, given his size, but it's easy to
forget he's so young. He's still a little spooked in our back yard and he cries a
little. Blaze helps lead Fritz around and both stay glued together whenever
there's exploration work to do around the house and yard. Fritz is happy just
laying next to Barbara and getting his snuggles. One gaze into his eyes and
we drop whatever we're doing and spend the next several minutes scratching
his belly while repeating the mantra, 'you're such a sweet dog.'
Thanks again for finding these wonderful dogs and allowing us their
company."

Miles has been adopted by his foster mom. Here is an
update:
On July 30, 2004, Miles and his sister Myra were left at TLAC.
They were eight weeks old. GSD got them out of there four
days later and they went to live at the rescue group. When
Miles arrived at GSD he met Moki Joe, who was also living
there, even though he has no Shepherd in him; Bev had
taken him in due to his dire straits. Moki, who went by the
name of Ricky at that time, was just under a year old, and just
too sweet and gentle for his own good, because he started to
get beat up by some of the other males. So, in October 2004
Moki (Ricky) went to a foster placement, just 2-3 months
after Miles had joined the pack. Moki (Ricky) stayed at the
foster placement until we saw his picture on GSD's website in
May of 2005, when he was about one year and eight months
old. We adopted him the day we met him, and he and Sadie,
our 11 year old (at that time) Dobie/Dalmation have become
devoted companions. Fast forward a year to July 30, 2006,
when Miles came to live with us as a foster dog, exactly two
years to the day that he had been left at TLAC! Now just a
little over two years old, he was also getting beat up by the
other males for being too sweet and handsome. Miles is also
very shy, especially around men. They probably didn't know
each other too well when they were at GSD together, since
Bev would have kept Miles with the puppies, but it sure didn't
take Miles and Moki Joe very long to bond once Miles got to
our house. They are kindred spirits, both so gorgeous and
gentle.... well, except when it comes to squirrels, and then
they're the dynamic duo! After a few months we decided to
adopt Miles, in October 2006. In the second photo, Moki Joe
(who is now 3 years old) and Miles (now 2 1/2 years old) are
being petted and praised by my husband. Yes!!! After being
so fearful of men, it is a man that Miles is looking up at with
those adoring eyes!

Jadis (formerly Mindy) has been adopted.
November 27, 2006. Here is an update from her adopters:
"Jadis is doing really well in her new home in San Antonio. She gets
along great with my cocker spaniel. The two dogs run around and
play together all day. Jadis has also done very well with my young
niece and nephew. She is very affectionate and very friendly. Jadis
has been a great addition to my home!"

Dixie has been adopted. Here is an update from her adopters:
January 7, 2007
"Happy New Year. I just wanted to drop you a quick note about
Daisy (who used to be called Dixie). She was pretty quiet and
would not eat for the first two days. It is an understatement to say
she is now out of her shell and in full puppy mode. She is a great
eater (puppy food and remote controls), she loves walks (good for
me too!) and is very affectionate. Karen says she is in great
shape and I am lucky to know so much of her medical history.
Thank you for taking such good care of her.
Thanks again,
Melody and Jose Gonzalez"
