Oregon Friends of Shelter Animals

When I originally came to you after the loss of my 14 ½ year old Ricky in May of 2004, I was looking for Chaz and George was more of a companion for Chaz than anything. It took a very shot time for George to totally win my heart and he actually became my favorite of the 2. Please don’t get me wrong, I love Chaz more than I can ever say however there was a very special innocence about George that really got to me. I enjoyed watching George learn how to play with a ball and his toys that we got for him. Chaz was a wonderful teacher and as time went on George even started bring his toy to one of us, setting it on the floor and nudging it with his nose toward us to throw it for him so he could chase it and bring it back.

I want to thank you so much for introducing George to us and giving us the opportunity to have him as a very special part of our lives. Now it is time to focus on Chaz who is doing very well. He is completely off any and all commercial dog food and loves his home made dinners of chicken, potatoes and a vegetable of choice. His treats are home made Peanut Butter cookies out of one of many books I now have for Doggie Recipes. Even at Age 11 ½ he acts like a puppy and fetching his tennis ball is more or less the only thing he usually has on his mind. I guess some things never change but I really love playing with him. One thing I have noticed about Chaz is that since George is no longer with us, Chaz who was always reluctant to give kisses has taken to giving kisses the way Georgie did which was one of the things that was so very special about him.

I cannot help feeling somehow that My precious Georgie is somewhere in the heavens watching over us. He will always be in my heart as a very special little guy.

We adopted Scootie from you in February 2006.
Although we did not have him long, he was the joy of our life! What fun he was and what a wonderful personality. He will be sorely missed for a long, long time.

He died May 16, 2007, from a heart murmer. Ever the darling, he remained loving and giving until the very end. He made our household brighter and happier.

Thanks for all that you do...giving these wonderful animals a second chance AND giving us the opportunity to enjoy them.

Best Regards,

Max, our beloved German Shorthair Pointer, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on June 4, 2007. He grew up with our 3 children and Roxy, a cattle dog mix who died 3 years ago. Max had a healthy, happy, long life of 15 years and 4 months.

He was a very gentle and sweet dog, and shared our love and attention with Holly and Noah, our two rescued Border Collie mixes in his old age. We all miss him a lot.

Thank you again for your thoughtfulness.

Kia, Steve, and I are already missing Suki. She taught us how to play games. She made us laugh all of the time. Suki came to us 2 1/2 years ago as a rescue. Suki lived to a wonderful age of 13.

I don't know if you remember me or not, but I adopted Buddy from you last December. I am sad to say that we had to put him to sleep this morning. He was bleeding internally so it was for the best.. I am sad but I know it was best for him.. Just thought you would like to know.
