			Creek is here and he’s everything we hoped for and more! This is his first day at our house. He is doing just fine. We love him. Everyone he meets loves him! Tanya Sjahfiedin/ Mattapoisett MA
	Jake has been with me for 6 months now and I cannot imagine my life without him. His contagious energy and love of life is immeasurable. Jake loves riding in the car, walking wooded trails and visiting the dog park and friends' houses. He's a very social dog and people comment on how good looking and charming he is. It may sound silly but that makes me feel like a proud Mommy. The wags of his tail remind me daily of life's simple pleasures. Thank you for rescuing Jake. Thanks for all the meaningful work you do on behalf of all good dogs like Jake. Jennifer Peppe / Hightstown, NJ
			Here’s me and Chloe at the park, she decided to nap on me. What a wonderful pup, she fit right into our family from day one and we love her. Thanks to everyone at Good Dog Rescue for this wonderful gift. Jacqueline Stewart / West Springfield MA
	Pappa Bear! What an absolute joy he is! He is such a sweet, gentle little boy and we are so blessed to have been chosen to share in his life. He is 26 pounds of fun and I’ll admit we are spoiling him rotten! He has adapted well to our routine and gets along great with our other dog. I take them for walks every morning and evening, and he loves checking out his new surroundings. He has a brand new bed to lie on in front of the fireplace, and he will sometimes drag it to where we are if we leave the room. He makes us laugh and is so stinking cute we can't help but watch him all the time. We truly can't imagine what our life would be like without him. Thank you so much for all your hard work in making this adoption possible. Danielle D’Anjou / Nashua NH
			It has been over 6 months since we first adopted Seamus and we now can not imagine life without him. He has become so much a part of our family and daily activities. This is our first experience with a puppy and it has been a lot of fun. His favorite thing to do is to go to the local "Doggy Park" and he will whine with excitement as we drive into the entrance. The best is when my 4 year-old daughter gets down on the floor and hugs him and says, "Oh, Seamus, I love you, you are such a good boy". Then he proceeds to lick her entire face (and she lets him). Thank you, Lynn Shea / Coventry RI
	Gus made a very smooth transition into our household. He and his dog-brother Dexter (another TN rescue dog) can often be seen in the front yard chasing each other around, playing with their toys or just relaxing. I could not ask for two better dogs. I would just like to thank you and your organization for making this process so simple and hassle free. I would recommend you guys to anyone looking to enrich their lives with a rescue dog. I truly believe that rescue dogs are appreciative and responsive to the adoptive families. Thanks again. Jeff Cady / Mystic, CT

Micro Chipping Really Works!!

Cricket and her two dog buddies were hiking thru the woods in Portland, Maine when Cricket decided to chase a critter and kept on going! After an hour of looking for her, I got a call from the animal shelter in Westbrook, "we have your dog."

She had apparently found her way to a nearby dog daycare. They called the shelter, who scanned her for a microchip, and I drove over to the shelter to claim her! I am so grateful to the daycare and so happy I decided to chip her! For the small fee it costs, it's a bigger reward getting your buddy back (esp. in that short amount of time!). Thank you HomeAgain!
