What People Have to Say:
Dear Erik and Diane, Kenny and I just have to thank you from the bottom or our hearts for helping us adopt our new dog Roadie. Because he was set out, then tested positive for heartworm at the Animal Welfare League of Charlotte County, his fate would have been sure death had you not gotten involved. Because of you, he is now cured of the heartworm and is thriving as the newest member of our family. He is vibrant, happy and alert and alive, thanks to you and your foundation. Every morning when we look at his sweet face, we realize he was destined to meet you, and to be ours. Or are we his? Many, many, many heartfelt thanks for all the good you do, for dogs and us humans who share their lives. We'll be telling this story for years to come! Most sincerely, Kelly and Ken
Dear Diane and Erik, Just a note to thank you for finding the perfect home for Baron. Even though it is a win-win-win placement for Baron, his new family and me, it has also been a difficult and emotional time for me. Being able to meet and get to know his new family made it easier for me to give him up. Quite frankly, I don't know what I would have done if I had not found you. You took the time to understand my situation and to learn about Baron. You cared....and that was huge for me. I thank you both again and salute you for the wonderful work you do! Jill PS Thank you for forwarding Baron's picture and the note from John about how Baron has become part of their family. I do really like happy endings and happy beginnings!!
Hey Erik I hope all is well. Baron has adjusted fantastically, he and Rusty are literally best buddies now. I couldn't have hoped for his placement to work out as good as it has. I have started some minor obedience work with him. I really have spent the bulk of my time with him socializing him on my walks. He does appear to be dog aggressive and slightly spooky with people but I will continue to work on that. I have had to assert dominance over him a few times at the house. These were usually minor issues in which he just seemed to act like a spoiled teenager...Tess and I were talking today and we truly have already fell in love with him and couldn't imagine not having him in our lives:-) I will send a picture I took recently (separate email). I know you are probably really busy but if you get a moment send me a couple of the pics you took of us.... Again I hope all is well. Talk to you soon.
John Just wanted you to know, Molly has made it to her new home and has met her new sisters. She is really happy and waggin her tail to see another dog in the house. Got hissed by one of the sassy cats but, she didn’t seem to care too much. She has even eaten all her supper and has been introduced to our “pee and poo” places. Her ride was uneventful and she slept the whole way here. Thank you again for Molly, we will take wonderful care of her. She is already part of the family and we absolutely love her so much. We will keep in touch. If you would like to stop in and check on her Saturday, just come anytime. Thank you again and we will send updates in the next day or so to include pictures. Hugs, Kathy, Paul, Katelyn and Molly
Erik, We had a great day yesterday! We attended a big family get together for Easter in Arcadia and took Kai with us. He needs a lot of work socializing with other dogs so we had to leave him on lead but he had a great day as did all the rest of us. He had a big day and immediately went to sleep on the way home. I attached four pics for you to see. Some were taken with cell phone and some with other camera. Rob
Hi Erik: Just wanted to let you how well sadie is doing we renamed her on the way home just seemed to fit she is settling in very well no accidents in the house follows me every where could not ask for a better match thanks again for rescuing her for us i also sent a couple of pictures. Thanks again Marty & Sally Hello Erik, I just thought you’d like to know how well Macy is doing here in Palm Coast. She has completed 5 of the required 8 training classes and is the star of her group. She has put on about 10 pounds since we got her but is still in fabulous shape as you can see by the photo above. Yes, she is eating the same brand of dry dog food you gave us when I picked her up from you. The girl just loves to eat. She still has a touch of separation anxiety but she has come a long way in the last month or so. She no longer feels the need to follow me around to every room of the house anymore and she has become quite comfortable here. She is fantastic with our grand kids and very protective of them and us. Once she warms up to you, she’s a real sweetheart. I just wanted to say “Thanks” again and offer you some feedback. I’m sure it is hard for you sometimes taking these dogs in and getting attached to them while you try to find them “forever” homes, not knowing for sure if you found the right home. Well you scored “big time” here my friend. Please say hello to your wife for me and thank her as well for the great service you guys are providing to the community. Even when the community is 300 miles away….
Mark thanks so much for your great success in adopting out the German Shepherds. You know Jim and I love the breed and often it is very hard to adopt them out - because of the breed's reputation. I am the Web Guy, so yes please keep pictures and fliers coming, I will be more than happy to publish it on our web site. Monika Erik, Just a quick note to let you know, Titus is now one of the family...he swims in the pool at his leisure, chases the squirrels and birds out of the yard (or at least up the trees) and greets us like we have been gone for months when we don't take him to the mailbox to get the mail. Thank-you for keeping him until you found us. I will send pics soon, Tim, Maureen, Ashly, Levi and Titus Hello Diane & Erik: As promised, attached are some pictures of Buddy lounging around his new living room and playing around his new yard with Hanne; so far all is well and they are going through their "who's in charge" phase... Thank you both again again for bringing the two of them together. Sincerely, Dirk Well it has been almost two weeks since I adopted Lyla and it feels as if we have been best friends for years. After the death of our family German Shepherd a few years ago, I always knew that I wanted another loyal German Shepherd dog. I recently began searching statewide for a dog to rescue. I wasn't sure if I wanted a puppy or an adult dog. Then I came across Erik and Diane's rescue agency online. And there was my new best friend, Lyla. Her "parents" had to give her up because of going into the military. Our family has always been strong supporters of our service men and women, so I knew this was the right one for me. The moment I met Lyla, I feel in love with her. She now enjoys riding in my car, playing outside, going for walks and sleeping in my bed. She is the perfect match for our family! Brett Hi Erik and Diane, I took Penny to the vet on Tuesday and everyone there absolutely loved her!! She was pronounced to be in "excellent physical condition". The Doc wants her to gain about 10 more pounds-she weighs 71 now-and he's keeping her on the Ivermec until all of her hair grows back. He said otherwise there is a good chance of the mites returning. She is licensed and legal in Lee county and is a happy girl! I must say, this dog is a delight to have around. She sleeps in the bed with me when Jim is gone and loves to be around Tucker-he even likes being around her as long as he doesn't have to exercise too much. She is coming along great with basic training stuff and starts the "good citizen" class in January. Jim and I are so happy that we adopted her. Thanks again, Lynne "Do what you love. Love what you do." Dear erik and Diane, Rasta has become part of the family. He has adapted to his new home and has ingrained himself in our hearts. At first he was anxious and attempted to get back in the car. After we walked him and introduced him to the cats he settled down. Pam read in his file that he was not interested in toys. Well, Pam had a large tennis ball that he began to play with. When the ball went in the pool he began to bark and attempted to reach the ball without getting wet. The attached picture shows just how far he would go in his attempt. His only time of stress was when I left to go to the store. Pam said he whined and kept walking from the door to her and whinning. He is now more comfortable and accepts that we will return. Thanks again for thinking of us. Bill & Pam Hi Erik and Diane!! We just wanted to send you a note on Lacy!! We get so many comments on how beautiful and well mannered she is, and we'd like to think you guys had a hand in that! We walk her to the bus stop with our daughter and she's made lots of new friends! There is a woman with a son that is just in love with Lacy. She loves GS and wants your information! I'm going to pass it along!! I hope they can find a wonderful match for their family as we have!! Thanks a bunch!! Jared and Candice Carey.....and Lacy too! Hello Erik, I just wanted to touch base with you and let you know how thankful we are for you and your lovely wife for bringing Macy into our family. As you can see she is quite happy, quite the Queen and quite wonderful to have as a family pet. She remains fantastic with our grandchildren and family and friends and we could not ask for a more loyal and better dog. She is a beauty! We just wanted you to know how thankful we are for all of the good work that you do. Mark & Ruth [image1_left] Hi Erik, This is Peggy Aimaro, and I just wanted you to know that Titan is doing real good. He is a wonderful little boy. We are so blessed to have him. I can not tell you how GOOD he is.. He sure is a mommy's boy.. I can't wait till the end of next month so I can take him to his obedience classes. He is going to be very easy to learn.. We thank you so much for him.... Oh by the way... do you have his papers with his shots and his chip??? We will keep in touch... Thanks Again......... Peggy Hello Mr. and Mrs. Hoffer, I just wanted to send you both a quick update on our sweet Keisha. She has settled in very nicely. She had been eating a bit "peckishly", but today ate with GUSTO. I started her on some Prilosec in case the Doxycycline was upsetting her stomach, and it seems to have helped. She also played with a kong throw toy for the first time today. She has done VERY well with my little girls. There were a few growls the first day, but everyone seems just fine now. She has slept on her big, new, comfy pillow the last 2 nights, right beside my bed. She gently woke me with a nudge each morning to go outside. I told her she could sleep on the bed, but she seemed to prefer the dog bed. I heard her bark for the first time today when a delivery man came to my door. She has a wonderful deep, throaty bark that she used at an approiprate time. She stopped as soon as I asked her to sit and answered the door. I couldn't be happier with her as part of my family, and I am VERY grateful that you not only saved her, but also considered allowing me to be her forever home. THANK YOU!! I will keep the updates coming. I plan to do her chest radiographs and the microfilaria test next week and will also update you both on those. THANK YOU AGAIN!!!! Sincerely, Amanda Eric and DIane, I just wanted to send you a note to let you know how wonderful Yoda and Sedona are doing! Sedona is eating everything i give her! Her coat is looking shiny and she will be at her ideal in no time. She is enjoying the organic raw diet and also eating kibble and canned food and she is playing and running and seems so happy. I know that will especially please you Diane. She is a special girl. Yoda just loves his big sister and they are getting along wonderfully. We are taking long walks every day and teaching Yoda, as well as refreshing Sedonas leash skills-they are both so smart! Thank you again for the gift of these beautiful dogs, we are blessed to have them with our family forever. I was unable to come to observe your class this evening as I had forgotten that i had a webinar to attend for work, but we will come by in the next week or two. thank you. The Sadler Family I HOPE TO HAVE SOME PICTURES TO SEND SOON. I HAVE BEEN TAKING TONS OF THEM BUT I AM UNABLE TO FIND MY COMPUTER CABLE FOR THE CAMERA. IT WILL TURN UP. I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW LEXI IS AN ABSOLUTE JOY IN OUR HOME. SHE HAS EVEN PUT SOME PLAY BACK INTO OUR OLD LADY BEAR. SHE PLAYS OUTSIDE WITH THE BOYS ALL DAY AND NEVER RUNS OFF. THE BOYS HAVE TAUGHT HER TO SWIM AS SHE WAS ONLY GOING IN UP TO HER CHEST AT FIRST. SHE NOW SWIMS ALL OVER THE POND TRYING TO CATCH UP TO OUR DUCK, DONALD. THEY ALSO TAUGHT HER TO STAND ON THE KAYAK AND THEY PADDLE AROUND WITH HER IN IT WITH THEM. SHE SLEEPS VERY WELL AT NIGHT!THE VERY FIRST NIGHT HERE SHE DISAPPEARED AND WE FOUND HER SLEEPING ON THE FOOT OF AARONS BED. SHE HAS MADE FRIENDS (SORT OF ) WITH THE GOATS AND IS LEARNING NOT TO CHASE CHICKENS. LAST NIGHT SHE CLIMBED UP ON THE COUCH AND STRETCHED HERSELF ACROSS ME AND CUDDLED FOR A WHILE. I CANNOT IMAGINE A MORE PERFECT DOG THAN LEXI FOR OUR FAMILY. TODAY THE BOYS BOUGHT HER A BED FOR CHRISTMAS. IT WAS QUITE A BIG DEAL FOR THEM TO PICK OUT JUST THE RIGHT ONE BUT THEY DECIDED AND SHE IS ALREADY USING IT. THANK YOU FOR SHARING HER WITH US, I KNOW THE DECISION WAS NOT AN EASY ONE. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! KERIHi Erik and Diane, We are so happy with Maisy. She is very sweet and playful. Just the right temperament for us! We are working with her on some basic training commands and will enroll her in some puppy basics in the new year. Thank you so much for saving her and for letting us become her family. She is very cuddly with all of us, especially Colin! We will keep you updated. Thank you again. Michele, Brice, Colin and Maisy!Last Updated: Saturday, December 24 2011 @ 02:50 PM EST|Hits: 869 |
