Korah (previously Lexie) and Family!

Dear Chows Plus,

I am so glad to have Lexie who is now Korah in our home. She has made a wonderful addition to our little family of dogs. I found out she loves the river. She also enjoys playing with Trigger and Lucky who are the 2 Jack Russell Terriers. I could not have asked for a better dog to come along in my life. Thank you Chows Plus for all that you do and the love you have for these animals. You truly make a difference.

Lauren, Wade, Trigger, Lucky and Korah!

Cuddles has been an incredible addition to this family! My Collie and Golden took her in immediately and my daughters don't go long without lovin' on her.

Thank you again for considering us - she's an absolute joy!

Dinky (formally known as Munchkin)

Well just wanted to let you guys know that it's been a year since I adopted Dinky and it's been great! She is doing great and loving life. It took her a while to accept my husband and son but she loves them now and accepts them as part of her family. She is still very leary of new men but has gotten much better. She and our other 2 dogs a Lab and a chihuahua play all the time! She loves to go bye-bye in the car, for walks around the neighborhood and went on her first camping trip to the ocean last November. We are set to go again in August and can't wait Dinky especially loved running on the sandy beach and going for her morning walk with "Dad". I want to thank you again for bringing her into my life, she is a joy and I couldn't love her more!

Corky and Friend at Pt. Isabela Dog Park

We keep saying how lucky we are to have gotten such a great dog right off the bat. I hope the attached pictures make you smile, we can't help but smile when we look at him, he is so cute, goofy, and handsome. It saddens us to think he almost lost his life. Thank you for what you do to save the lives of such awesome creatures.

Sincerely,

Rich, Chenoa, B & Bodi

P.S. The outdoor pictures are from our favorite dog park, Point Isabel in Richmond

Blueberry Graduated Tuesday!

Hi!
Our baby Blueberry graduated last Tuesday! She did EVERYTHING for her final exam, including the "come when your name is called" test. Thanks so much once again for connecting us with our dog. She has been a joy to have, loving us and protecting us. It was worth the rental car and the six hours of driving to have found her (or maybe she found us!) You run your organization with such heart and it was wonderful to be be able to ask you all the "Chow parents to be" questions before, during and after adopting our Blueberry (formerly Prudence).

Sincerely,

Maria Paz

Bingo Now Bongo!

Hi!
Hi just wanted to update you on Bingo, now Bongo. He loves his new brother, Nemo, a 2 year old poodle/bichon/westie mix. He has had his bad eye removed and is soooo much happier without it bothering him all the time. His ear infections and yeast issues are much better and he is on a special diet that has helped with his allergies. He is a really a different dog with much more energy and spirit now that he feels better and is in a forever home. Thanks for taking care of him and rescuing him. The work your group does is amazing.

Thanks!

Bongo's Mommy, Laura

Max Rescued!

Hi. I am Max. I was rescued. My new mom and dad love me so much. I love to ride in the car with her. I go with her almost everywhere. And I keep her company when she is at home. My mom's daughter gave me a special soft blanket from Cosco that is so cosy! I love to play with my toys and I have a nice soft bed to sleep in next to my mom at night. We take walks every day and I have lots of dog friends in the neighborhood that I get to visit on our walks. I have a nice yard to run in and comfy furniture to take naps on. My mom bought me a beautiful warm coat, a warm sweater and a rain coat to walk in the rain. I love my new home!!!!

Kona with Cheryl and Jim!

Kona is happy with Cheryl and Jim in Sacramento, CA!

Ruby with Linda and Val!

It's been two weeks and a day now, and Ruby is doing very well. She has been in the car many times and is a perfect angel. She rarely barks, wines, or cries (just when she wants out of her crate in the morning and even then very rarely). She is starting to play with her toys, and run around a bit more. So, I'm sure she is feeling much better (from her surgery) and more confident about her special place in our family.

Thanks again.

Linda

Brewster with Yolanda!

Brewster all ready for Christmas!
Thank you Yolanda for giving Brewster such a wonderful home.

Django (formerly Conner) and Ann!

I'm attaching a number of pictures of Django so you can see what a wonderful friend he is! He goes absolutely everywhere with me, and has gained 2 pounds- which was much needed. We've even braved cold weather camping in early December! Never fear, I purchased an insulated coat for him to wear, and we had a portable heater for overnight. :)

Overall, he has greatly enriched my life and I coulnd't speak more highly of him. THANK YOU for finding him at the shelter and keepiong him safe and secure until I found him. I hope you enjoy the photos.

Merry Christmas, Warm Regards,

Ann

Adopted to The Snell Family in Sacramento, CA!

Our added blessings to our home....Maximus and Nevaeh ...joining Taz and Lola the bunny! Loving every minute with the puppies. They are doing wonderful in their new home. Thank you to Chows Plus Rescue for all that you do.

Frankie's first day at his new home. The kids were thrilled to meet Frankie and he seems to be adjusting just fine! Frankie is really sweet, mellow, quiet, and calm. Jess

Koa Update!

Just thought I'd update you on Koa. He is doing fantastic! He loves to meet dogs down at the river and play and run...boy can this dog run and jump! Absolutely amazing. He has discovered water, and loves to splash, run, swim and fetch sticks, rocks or really anything that is thrown for him.

He provides us with so much laughter...he is so good for the soul! Thank you again for all you do and for connecting our family with just the right dog!

Ted E Bear and Reese!

Things are going great. Ted E. Bear is so sweet. He has been with us 4 days and we still have not heard him bark. Nothing provokes him -- dogs, cats, strangers, kids, doorbells, vacuum cleaner, his personality is always calm. He seems a little scared at first when meeting other people ( he tends to run and trys to hide) but after a minute he warms up and comes running, tail wagging, for some attention. Everyday he warms up more and more and our whole family just loves him. I don't want to babble on and on about how much fun we are having with Ted E Bear. He is a great pet and I hope he is happy here.. Enjoy! Thank you for everything, I will stay in touch.

Muffin!

Muffin is already spoiled! She is adjusting well here. She loves her daily walks. Muffin is a very loving and sweet dog. She is a great new addition to our family. She is so good with the kids! She likes to put the kids to sleep. It is the cutest thing! She lays down with them until they fall asleep. Then she comes out and wants to go to her own bed.....Very good dog! Here are some picture we took since she has been here....

Thank you so much! Our family could not be happier to have Muffin as a family member!

Koa!

Koa continues to fit in just perfect with our family! He is such an awesome dog. Housebroken, obedient (mostly), becoming very playful, definitely lovable! He truly could careless about the cats or rabbit, though, the cats are still a bit scared, but at least they come in the house and will look at him!

Thanks again for all you do for the doggies and for bringing Koa to our family! :-)

Danielle

Candie and Family!

I have to say that Candie is a perfect fit for our household. We are greatly impressed with how intelligent she is and with how well behaved she can be. She gets round the clock attention from us which she seems to love as well. Thank you so much for helping us through this process.

Sincerely,
Tracy Phillips

Nala in San Jose!

Daphne and John!

She's doing great. She came up the stairs on her own for the first time last night and slept in our room on the floor. She was a little hesitant to go down the stairs this morning but made it fine. And by the time we left for work, she was going up and down whenever she wanted. She just follows us around the house everywhere we go. And she's very quickly learning to sit on command--we think she's a fast learner. Thanks again for allowing us to adopt Daphne--she's the best. She'll take her last antibiotic tomorrow morning. I'm no vet, but she's seems to be feeling great.

John & Christina

We'll continue to keep you updated on his new life. Thank you again for helping save Boomer!

Pearl and Family!

I just wanted to give you a little update on Pearl... she is doing FABULOUS! I honestly don't think she could be any happier!

To sum it all up, we could not be happier! She is the perfect addition to my little family and I know that she was meant to be with us!

I have attached a picture of the three of us, with Pearl in her 'spot'.
