Attached is a picture of Gracie's first leisurely boat ride....she did extremely well! She just loves trying things. We're celebrating her first year anniversary of her adoption today! Can't believe it's been a whole year....she's adjusted well in many respects. We feel so grateful for the opportunity to give her a home! She's really a lot of fun. We have a couple of swans that come to visit almost daily...she's good with them...no barking!!  They recently had 6 little cygnets that also...

We wanted to give you an update on Rosco.  He's halfway through his training and is doing great.  We love him sooo much ! When we're out hiking he wears the shoes because he was having a problem with pads on his paws.  Our vet suggested them and told us it was very common with German Shepherds.  He's great with putting them on too, we give him a treat, put them on and we go for a walk so he associates it with going for a walk and likes putting them on. HE'S SUCH A GOOD DOG, I CAN'T THANK...

Lola is doing terrific! We love her!  She is a favorite among the neighborhood kids as well. She goes for a 3 mile hike with me in the woods every morning. In the year since she came to our home, we may have missed 10-15 mornings...that's it. She very rarely leaves my side. These are a couple of pictures of her at the beach on Cape Cod last...

I had my ninth birthday! I love birthdays because my humans give me special human food for my special day. Like other rescue dogs, I have more than one birthdate in my records. So my humans celebrate twice a year, on both birthdays in my file. We went for a walk around the neighborhood and I played with other dogs and ignored the humans. After we got home my human mom made me wait to eat because I had been running. So unfair. I drooled a whole puddle waiting for my food! Then - finally -...

Look at this sweet boy! This wonderful guy has been with us almost 4 years. He enjoys his walks by the river or just around the woods or just loves to play in the yard and chase the bunnies and squirrels. He had a clean bill of health at the vet so we are happy with that. As you can see he is quite the Velcro dog, always at my side 24/7. He’s a biggest mama’s boy! I work from home so this helps with his separation anxiety.  He truly is the best, and we are so happy that he is with us and...

It’s hard to believe that this sweet girl was left at a high-kill shelter two years ago.  Lucky for Spirit an all breed rescue saw her just before her time was up and got her out of there.  The all breed rescue were immediately impressed with her friendly nature and decided she would have her best chance to find a forever home if she could be where people would look for a German Shepherd specifically.   Spirit was adopted two years ago today on June 8, 2019 by a young couple who fell in...

Today we received this update about Sasha, who was adopted 2 years ago at age 10.  We love seeing this happy, loved 12 year old living her BEST life! ♥️🐾.  It was exactly two years ago when we received the call from a shelter about a 10 year old senior female named Sasha, we were torn between wanting to help her and knowing how hard it is to find an adopter who will give an older dog another chance at life.  When we heard her story, though, we couldn’t pass her by,...

“Here is a photo of Jackson, with his housemate Jolene. Jackson did a cross country RV trip with us last year, and this was at a friend’s home in Oregon.  The friend took this photo of the dogs and submitted it to their local news station and the dogs made the news!”

Update 16 July 2019 Duke is a healthy, happy and large dog. His weight has settled in at 118 lbs.He eats 4 cups of food twice a day. Daily walks and lots of time in the yard playing with his favorite balls. Helen has always been alpha and our dogs through the years have all seemed attached to her. Duke decided to make me his alpha and is attached to my hip. Since Helen works from home and will be retiring next year much of Duke's time is spent with me since I'm retired. He is very loving to...

“She passed with flying colors! She is so cute, isn't she?” You’re never too old to learn and achieve great things. Just ask GSRNE'S Elsa who just passed the CGC test and has received her Canine a good Citizen certificate at 7.5 years old.  (YAY !!) Congratulations to Elsa and her mom, Nancy!!
