We renamed her Dakota, but just call her "Koda" for short. She is doing great. At first she was a little timid last night but we let them run
around together and they worked it out. By the time we went to sleep they all your hard work with these dogs. Have a Merry Christmas
and I will keep in touch and even send some pictures if I can.

Sonny
A message from his new home: "You will be amazed at how big he is now. He is 65 pounds already, but the sweetest and
clumsiest dog you will ever meet. He thinks he is a lap dog! That is my doing of course, I think any dog is a lap dog. We have
discovered that he will definitely be a protector. A friend went to my home when no one was home and Sonny was definitely in
protect mode until he realized who he was. He is so smart, he has been a great help with his brother's training.".

Penelope Cruz
An update from her new home: Time has flown since we adopted Penelope Cruz back in January. We have
since named her Penzi, which means "love" in Swahili, and a love dog she most
certainly has proven to be. One of her favorite activities is morning belly rubs in bed. Penzi has proven to be a
perfect compliment to our other dog Isha (meaning "life"). She likes to grab Isha's collar and tries drag her
around. Penzi's laid back personality and often silly antics are a wonderful addition to our family. We love her
very much.

Caesar (formerly Butch Cassidy) has found a wonderful home with his new family and his new Jack Russell canine companion. His
new family writes:
"We changed Butch's name to Caesar. Justin always wanted a German Shepard named Caesar. Him and Odie are still getting use to
each other. We caught them playing outside for a few minutes. He enjoys the yard and being able to roam in and out of the house. He
likes to walk in circles around the house especially last night when it was bed time. All in all everything is great. I have attached a few
pictures of his first night and morning here. Thank you. "

Sascha
Update on Sascha from her new home: "She's settled in quite nicely, & she & our other female absolutely love each
other. Target is a 5 year old lab mix who has found her inner puppy thanks to Sascha, & they run around the back
yard until they both drop at least three times a day! They even pout when we let one out without the other. She is so
happy, feisty and spunky, and has been exactly what we needed right now."
Sascha visits a four star hotel!! "This past weekend was our annual optometry convention in Austin at the
Renaissance Hotel in the Arboretum. They allow pets up to 40 pounds, so I took Sascha with me rather than board
her since she is still learning so much & getting to know her routine. She was a doll—no accidents in the room,
got a lot of leash time, and a lot of ‘new people’ time, too. She loved the glass elevators, too. She would just stare
out them fearlessly as we’d zip up and down. Ryan said it was funny to think of a rescue dog going from homeless
to a 4 star hotel in a matter of weeks! She would prance through the lobby like she owned the place!

Eli
Update from his new home: Eli is a pip...full of vim and vigor...his latest accomplishment has been learning to open the
door...he stands up on his hind legs, and just as a human would, he brings his "hand" down on the handle and pushes it
down...unbelievable...what a smart dog! He knows how to sit and lay down, and when at the dog park, he never runs away,
always stays near and comes when called. He LOVES between my legs when larger and older dogs get too wild in their
play....it is very cute....I can almost hear him saying, "Mommy, protect me!"
Watching him chase his tail in endless circles and then chewing on it when he does catch it, makes my daughter laugh
uncontrollably...it is a hoot to see. About 3 more weeks and he will be a changed dog...literally...he is set to be neutered April
we have sacrificed slippers and sneakers to the cause so as to spare furniture from his sharp little teeth! We LOVE him!we

improvement every week. He's settled down to the routine which makes him feel much more comfortable and
safe. He even gets in his crate to relax on his own (this took a while). As long as Dan or I are around, he's
content. We took him to the park this weekend and then on to PetSmart for some socialization. He's walking on
a lead very well and this weekend mastered sit and down. Stay is still elusive because we have a very short
attention span. Like every other Shepherd I've had, he's smart, easy to train, and has bonded quickly.
We absolutely love him!

Cha-cha
Here is an update from her adopters: It has been since April since I've spoken with you and Cha-cha has really grown. She is a that!
ChaCha poops in one spot in the yard, which is really nice with kids running all around. She barks at that a lot! I did put good dog.
We had trouble at first with some serious digging, but we put concrete blocks all along the fence line and that solved her through
pull and choke herself. She does do a good job now. She loves running with me and walking and being with Cha-cha has really

around the house and talks to us with her paws. We learned quickly the things she tells us -- like when she wants out, wants to
play, etc. I've attached some pictures.
