Just wanted to say thank you for letting this wonderful little girl June come into my life. She is just the best.

I adopted a dog that you were fostering in August. I don’t know if you remember her – her name was Jewel (now Molly) she is a little silver shih tzu mix and she was a rescued from a hoarder in Missouri. I just wanted to say thank you for fostering. We are so grateful to have Molly she is a wonderful little girl and has totally become part of the family. I attached a recent pic of her. thank you again – Elizabeth Philipone

Just wanted to send you a quick update on Krista. She is doing wonderfully. It appears she has adjusted well, eating, sleeping and doing her duty with no issues. She loves to snuggle in the bed and enjoys her walks, friendly with everyone she meets.

She has already changes are lives for the best. I love coming home from work, she greets me at the door with her unconditional love.

Thank you again for bringing us together–the rescue agency is very fortunate to have a foster parent like you.

We adopted Camo in June 2011. I met Camo for the 1st time at a vendor event that CODAR was at and that I was also working. I kept leaving my own table to go and cuddle with him all day. My daughter had been begging me for while for puppy and when I met Camo he stole my heart immediately and I had to have him!

He has been with us for 7 months months now and he is the love of our lives!! He’s a huge ball of energy but a huge cuddler!! He and my daughter are best of friends and he is great with her!! She’s always hugging and kissing him and telling me she has the best doggy ever!!

I couldn’t picture life without him now!! Thank you CODAR for giving us our furry family member!!

Brady (he was on your website as Hansel) came home on 12/23/11 as a Christmas present for our 5 children. His foster parents, Kelly & Kevin, agreed to participate in the big gift presentation and it was an amazing experience for all of us! The kids were beside themselves…they were all so excited! One of our daughters actually cried!! Since then, Brady has blended in perfectly! He attached to all of us so quickly…it’s like he’s been our dog forever! He’s such a sweet boy! He is well behaved, trusting of everyone, a total goofball & wonderfully affectionate. And no one can deny that he is just absloutely adorable!! Thank you to CODAR and to Brady’s foster parents for helping make Christmas of 2011, one our children will always remember!!

Upon adopting Abigail we are enjoying her very much. She is such a good puppy. Has learned alot in a short time. Going to Puppy class and doing alot of socializing. Here are a few pictures. One picture is with our granddaughter Gianna. In one picture Abigail’s ear is straight up and it has stayed that way. We say that’s the german Shepard in her. Thank you

Enclosed are three pictures of Josie. One is recent with our Christmas tree, another is her with her brother Jack, and one alone. She is adorable, sweet, and very lovable. She is on her third round of antibiotics, the first two were not strong enough she had a pretty bad infection but in spite of it all, she has a wonderful disposition. Have a Merry Christmas and keep up your wonderful work.

In this time of Thanksgiving I just wanted to send a note to you
thanking you for the wonderful foster care that you gave Allie. She
is doing great; everyone takes turns walking her and she is very happy
to sleep under the covers in my bed (between Allie and Marissa who
likes to fall asleep in my bed I get no room!). Allie is very bright
and a quick learner. She loves taking rides in the car whenever we
have to pickup or dropoff one of the kids somewhere and she’s been to
several of Marissa’s soccer games and has some dog friends. We are
taking our first long car ride for Thanksgiving to my brother’s house
in Maryland. This will be interesting – it was nice that I also had a
variety of dog friendly hotels to choose from.

Anyway, happy thanksgiving and attached are some pictures of Allie.

Kind regards,
Lisa

I just wanted to give you the update on Freddie (Frieda, as we often call her still): she had her MRI recently and they have diagnosed her with inoperable neck and spinal injuries (congenital, we think, just as many Bassets have). Her ribs seem to have been injured at some time as well. Nevertheless, we’re somewhat relieved–for her own sake–that she won’t have to undergo extensive surgery. She seems to do just fine when she has her medication (3 Gabapentin pills each day to calm the nerves around her spine). She is getting to be much more of a lover and we’ve learned how to handle her delicately and make her feel trusting and protected. She loves her home, her bed, her beagle sister, and seems to be an all-around happy dog. And I swear she gets cuter and funnier each day. We are so blessed to have found her–thank you so much for helping with her rescue! I’m attaching a picture our recent holiday picture. When I get some of my good close-ups of Frieda, I’ll pass those along too. I’m in love with her. That face!

I hope you had/are having wonderful holidays. All the best to you and your family for the Happiest New Year yet.

Sincerely,
Dawn, Eric, Snooper, and, of course, Freddie the Super Basset!
