Success Stories

We have a lot of photos and letters from happy adoptees and their new families. Enjoy!

Cesare (formerly Gizmo) and his mom I just wanted so say hello and send you a picture of me and Gizmo- Cesare here in Rome. We're at the Colosseum in this pic. He's doing great and really enjoying himself in this dog friendly city- he can come with me almost anywhere! I want to thank you again for letting me adopt the love of my life. We both send you a big hig and kiss (well he sends a lick!). Take care J&C

PookieBear (formerly Monty) Hi folks, We are already madly in love with Monty, who we renamed "Pookie". He is a love, and follows us around the house. He flips onto his back for a quick, impromptu tummy rub, and we couldn't ask for a more wonderful, cuddly, new family member. Thank you so much to Sharon, Chris and Dina, at CARE, for all your support and patience in our quest to find a new furry baby for our home. Our hearts still miss our 17 year old border collie/aussie mix, Sonic, but Pookie is certainly filling us up with his unconditional, sweet love. Sincerely, The Steele's

Lola (formerly Gretel) and her sister Dear CARE, I wanted to thank you again for all of your efforts. Now we have two dogs adopted from CARE & we are so happy! I've recommended you to several people & am a strong supporter of adoption! There are so many good dogs that need homes. Why "buy" from a puppy mill? Sincerely, Cassandra H.

Kayla and her brother Cody Hello CARE, 3+ years ago, I was looking to adopt a second dog as a pet and as a companion for my other dog, Cody. As I was a single female, I felt I was always “passed on” by the Humane Society. Too many times, I received the “there is a family interested in this dog”. After months of frustration, I found and contacted C.A.R.E. Within a few weeks, I received an email regarding a puppy who was up for adoption. The puppy’s name was Abby, she was 4 months old, quite thin, ear infections in both ears, but was as feisty as could be. My other dog and I met her and immediately loved her. “Abby” (now Kayla) was difficult to potty train and had a real “bully” attitude, but with hard work and training, became a great dog. She is now a cuddle bunny when she’s at home, is protective of her family when she needs to be, and gets along with all of the dogs at day care. She loves nothing better than to lie on her bed in front of the fireplace – or when the sun is out, lay with the cats. DNA tests confirm she’s an Amstaff - which makes me proud to show people what “pit bulls” are really like. Anyway, I wanted to send you our success story, along with photos of Kayla “before” and “after”. Thank you for giving a single gal a chance to adopt a wonderful dog! Fortunately, my husband (of almost 3 years now), also loves her! Christine

Ron (formerly Eddie) and family I just wanted to send you a update on Eddie, and a few pictures to share with everyone at CARE. Well first, we renamed Eddie to Ron (Ronnie). Already, Ronnie recognizes his name-- he's quick to learn, and a real sweetheart! It was clear the first day we got Ron that he was going to be top dog in the house, and Muddy has taken to it just fine. No major territory disputes and only a little bit of dominance displayed while they play, which is expected. I think they're doing great together! Ron is so funny, he tries to bury his food. From treats to kibble, he accepts them from us, and tries to bury them under blankets and pillows. i can't thank you and everyone at CARE for taking such good care of this little guy. He is so well behaved and good natured that he's really a dream to work with. Having been in foster care for so long, Ron really benefited from being with you and the other fosters. Thanks again for everything!! Maranda (& Ben)

Birdie, Lily and Jack Birdie loves to snuggle with his new family, who were all CARE rescues. Could they be any cuter?
