Nadia

Well it has been over a year now since we adopted Nadia and next month will be a year since Kahla joined our family. Kahla's name was just Piper, but we decided to name her Kahla Piper Kear. Although they are both mixed. Nadia has more Labrador Retriever in her blood line. She definitely looks like a Lab and her personality traits are almost identical to a Lab. She loves to play, swim and play tag with her sister. Her favorite toy of course is a ball. She loves to play fetch, and she is the first dog we have ever owned that brings the ball back.

 
Kahla has personality and physical traits of a German Shepherd although she is not territorial or aggressive. She loves to run and chase her sister. Every morning the girls have a routine when Dad goes to work. Kahla insists every morning to go find a shoe and carry it around until Dad leaves them outside. She won't take the shoe outside nor will she chew on them. They have a sisterly relationship and always follows each other around. When Nadia was spayed, Kahla stayed at the vets with her. However we decided when Kahla was spayed, Nadia should stay home with me and she refused to eat and play. She laid by the d oor waiting for her sister. They have brought joy into our lives and are a perfect match for each other. Thank you!
 
Sincerely,
Chrissy & Bob

Norton

Sure looks like Zyan loves her little brother Zeus (formerly Norton) as a pillow.


Niko

Hello all,

Just wanted to send an update on Niko. We changed his name to Goji the first night he was home -- it means wolfberry and is another word for gargoyle. He had a rough first night adjusting and was exhausted most of his first full day with us. Our other dog, Jake, wasn't too sure about him at first but now they play ball and occasionally nap together. Goji made himself at home and so far is friendly with each person and animal I introduce him to. He already answers to his new name and understands numerous phrases including: sit, gimme five (shake sounds too much like Jake, haha), wait, and car, to name a few. He sings to us too. He loves his squeaky toys (especially the lion in the last picture) and chasing the tennis ball. Belly rubs are a must -- he is a giant snuggle bug.

We are currently working on better leash manners, but he is learning quickly. We ordered a Canny Collar, which is similar to a gentle leader, to see if it helps as we train him not to pull. We go for two different mile long walks each day and would stay out longer but we noticed he was walking funny. Upon checking his legs, we found at least one popped blister on each foot and some scabs on his front legs. When he is conditioned and healed he'll be my new running buddy. I am really looking forward to it.

He has separation anxiety (who could blame him after being left roadside?) but we are slowly working to help him understand that when we leave we will always come back -- we're up to ten minutes alone without issues (other than a little whine when we leave). Everyone that meets him agrees: how could anyone ever leave this wonderful dog? He is a constant joy and has found his forever home. Thank you for all you have done for Goji and our family.

With infinite appreciation,
Britt, Jer, Jake, and Goji


Nero

This Happy Tail is greatly overdue, as it’s been 3 years since my darling Douglas (Nero) became a treasured family member. I’m ashamed to admit that it certainly wasn’t love at first sight with this sweet boy… far from it in fact… but something about him pulled at my heartstrings and compelled me to give this wonderful gentleman a chance at happiness and “the good life”. I am so thankful that I did, as Douglas has filled my heart and home with so much love I’m forever grateful to H2H for bringing us together.

Nina

Bryanna (was known as Nina) has been a blessing in the home. My husband and I thought our home was complete till we brought Bryanna home. She made it complete. She is so well mannered and behaved. She is camping every weekend and LOVES the water. Can't keep her out of the river :-)  she had graduated from puppy classes and has learned so much there. I will bring her to some of the adoptathons for everyone to see.  Thanks H2H for everything.
