Abbie

We adopted Abbie, a heeler mix, from the Dalmatian Rescue on April 29, 2009. She was found on a dirt road in Missouri when she was about 4 months old. The people who picked her up thought she was a Dal, but it is pretty clear she has more Heeler than anything in her fantastic little body. Beth White provided her with a wonderful home for 4 months until we found her on the web site. The first day we met her we fell in love and knew we had to bring her home. She is an incredibly smart dog who wants nothing more than what we ask of her... well that... and to RUN. We have 10 acres of property where she sprints, chases rabbits, and flies through the air with an agility and athleticism we've never experienced before. When working on the property, she is right there helping. When riding the horses, she is right there enjoying the trip. Relaxing, she is right there snuggled up next to us. Hiking, she is helping us get up the trail faster. She goes jogging and for rides in the truck. She is a perfect companion and we are incredibly smitten with her.

We adopted Elvis, a Boxer/Shepherd mix, from the Animal House on April 30, 2009. His mother was picked up on a dirt road in Kansas and gave birth to seven adorable puppies in the animal shelter on January 13, 2009. Mom and all pups were adopted through the Animal House. Elvis is a great puppy, he loves to wiggle, run after Abbie, watch TV, and chew on everything. He's decided to remodel our back yard, pulling up weed barrier, trimming bushes and trees, adding some much-needed holes, and digging up all the toys our previous dogs had left for him to find. When he's not landscaping, he's snuggling up with us or his most favorite 'person', Abbie. He absolutely adores her. He is the sweetest dog, easy going, and funny... he can't help but make you laugh. Abbie and Elvis are the perfect 'odd couple' who have made our house a home again.

Thanks to you and all animal rescues for providing homeless pets a place to live until their forever homes are lucky enough to find them.
