Achilles has been eating, sleeping, & drinking just fine. No, coughing or
sneezing, or anything like that. He is already incredibly spoiled &
loving every minute of it! I'll attach a picture of him curled up on
"his" couch with our other dog's "baby" he has adopted as his own,
she's not sure how she feels about that but she's willing to share. He
even went with us to VA for Christmas & did wonderfully!
We are so happy to have Achilles
as part of our family, I don't know how we lived without him :) Please
pass along our thanks to everyone at the rescue, we couldn't have asked
for a better experience!
Alby's
neuter surgery went well last Friday and except for the fact that he
hated the cone, I'm not sure he noticed. Here are two pictures he was
convinced to sit still for...
Nelson is a great dog, and we have all
fallen in love with him. He loves the kids...and their waffles among
other things:) He is quite the food thief which has provided a lot of
laughs and, fortunately, has not had any ill effects on him. The
attached picture is him with his two favorite stuffed animals from his
foster home, his Foster Mommie was kind enough to send several of Nelson's favorite
toys with him.
How
can I ever thank you??? Wanted you to see Peter Pan in his favorite
spot...my bed, of course! It is a little crowded sometimes but very
warm and cozy!!!
Lincoln (Captain) is an AWESOME dog, friendly, happy and a big ham (see
attached picture)!
I am very grateful to Dogs XL Rescue and
continually recommend your rescue !
Holiday Greetings!
We found Ellie through Petfinders and a
local rescue group called DogsXL. She was listed as being part Golden
and coming up from high kill shelter in S. Carolina.Well that was four
months ago and look at her now. We still aren't sure that there's any
Golden hiding in her but whatever her lineage how you can you not love
that face.
We wake every
morning to a wagging tail and endless puppy kisses. I can't think of any
better way to start my day. Thank you DogsXL for rescuing this adorable
bundle of furkid and giving her a second chance at a forever home. And
from Ellie the Elf......she wishes everyone a Happy Holiday!
Kramer's Christmas letter
Hi everybody! I have had a nice
holiday. My favorite toy is Mr. Walrus.
He is fun to suck on so he got pretty matted. For Christmas my family
gave me 12 new Walruses!! (They were on clearance and my Mom was afraid
she wouldn't find them again.) I have grown in my winter coat and I am
really soft and fuzzy. They tell me I am like hugging a big soft teddy
bear. I have great fun on my walks. We go down trails and see
squirrels, rabbit and deer. It would be fun to catch a deer but my
leash is not long enough. I hope you have all had a nice holiday, and
give the other orphan animals a kiss for me. Love, Kramer
Adrianna, now Kasha, has settled in great with our family and
everyone who meets her loves her!
We have only had her a little over a week now and we couldn't be happier
with her! The funniest story about her at this point, is when she
climbed into bed with us, pinning my husband down by laying right on top
of him - I had to get out of bed so he could roll out from under her
and he could get out on my side of the bed - she wasn't budging!! Thank
you Dogs XL for letting us take this beautiful big girl into our home
and our hearts!
It
was hilarious watching Scooby figure out his first stream, and if he could
walk through it. Well he eventually did tip toe through the stream to
the other side and after a few minutes came running through the water
at me with the biggest smile on his face. I feel blessed to be able to give him a good home, and I can tell that
he is very happy to be home!
Magnus/Big Whit is doing well!
Take a peek at what Odie can do when left alone for under a minute.
But his new family loves him!!!
All in all Elli (Gabby) is doing GREAT. She's a huge people and dog pup, loves
to travel and has fit right in perfectly. And what a love bug she
is!!!! Thanks for caring enough to follow-up on Elli's health and welfare.
Rest assured she's getting more luvin' then she knows what to do
with and has found a forever home where she's being spoiled rotten.
Brees is AMAZING! He is the best! He is sweet, respectful, loves to play, knows how to
sit and give the paw, wait for his food and loves to go on walks and
running! He went head first into the pool
and LOVED it, but then he hated the hairdryer :)
Vador's new name is Cody! He has adjusted very well. He's eating,
and sleeping fine. I don't think he ever saw a squirrel before - he's
fascinated by them. He's interested in EVERYTHING we do.
Waylon (Coco Puff) is doing great. He's such a playful pup!
Hippo's doing great!!We go to the dog park everyday and he is so happy running around with
the other dogs. At home he generally is sleeping or chewing on a bone.
Hippo is definitely a lover always going up to anyone that will give him
a good scratch.
Maggie (Abby) is growing by leaps and bounds. You'd hardly recognize the shy
little puppy from three weeks ago! Her coat has finished filing in, soft
and glossy, and her confidence has grown right in with it. She galumphs
around on her (enormous!) puppy paws, loves everyone and everything she
comes across, and has discovered the joys of both cats (fun to chase)
and Kong toys (yummy!). She always has us laughing at
something.
Scottie is doing very well, and he is already part of the family.
Palmer is doing great!! (As you can see from his pics…..lounging by the
fire, portrait and his support for breast cancer research!!) We are
having fun!! He loves his treats and unstuffing his toys!
Dexter is doing well - he loves his crate and cuddly-stuff!
It only took one week as Ruby's fosters to decide that we
were going to be her forever home. We saw her potential right away. We
didn't get angry when we saw her gracefully leap over the baby gates we
put in her way, we got excited that she might be a dog that would do
well in dog sports. She is fearless and willing to try anything we ask
her to do. She has every quality we could ask for and is currently in
training to be a well-mannered all around fabulous family member.
Porky (now Rupert) seems to be doing really well in
just about everything. He has grown to 45 pounds so far and seems to
still be growing every day. He is in 'Intermediate' training classes and
loves seeing all his friends there. He is even wearing the cat down.
The cat tries not to like him, but it's obvious that they are becoming
friends.
Biscuit is growing fast. And she is one happy, energetic puppy!
It is great to have her as a new addition to our family.
This
laid back pup definitely landed the good life. Dino is settling in
well to his new New York City life, getting lots of walk and playtime
with all the local pups. He is already walking well on the leash and
learning new words daily. But not only is this gifted pup a modern day
genius, he's a great cuddler, giving his new parents lots of kisses.
Sugar
is doing great in his new home. While he was first pretty shy, he is
now coming out of his shell, showing off his great personality and
excellent ability to cuddle -- and giving new meaning to "as sweet as
Sugar."
Introducing...Sunny!! Sunny loves playing with toys, rolling around on
the grass, and getting his belly rubbed. He is quickly learning how to
walk on a leash and loves getting treats when he uses the "outdoor
facilities." He is calm and sweet and pays no mind to the cats. When
he's not chewing on toys, he's sleeping under my desk chair. But as
soon as I get up, he's ready to play again. He follows
me everywhere! How can you not love this little guy?!?!
Love at first sight! We saw Hunter on a friend’s Facebook page and fell
in love with him when we met him. Hunter came home on March 16th and
became an instant member of our family. He is a pup who loves being
with us and he travels with us wherever we go. He has been to visit his
doggie cousins in NC and WVA, and he enjoys visiting dog buddies in the
neighborhood and beyond. Fridays are playdates with his doggie cousin
Fern. One favorite activity is puppy workouts with the soccer ball in
the backyard. Hunter is a great puppy who we expect to grow into a
fabulous dog. Thanks DogsXL for allowing us to adopt him!
Zane (aka Thurman) has adjusted
well to his new home. He’s quite the favorite both at home and at the vet.
He’s even loved by other species, including
the cat.
It turns out he’s quite the
water dog, splashing around in his own private pool. “He is a wonderful
addition to our family and
could not be cuter or smarter.”
Duey is doing great in his new home with his family and his
new roommate, Olive, a 10 year old lab. He’s even carved a space on the bed.
That’s one smart dog!
Tangie is doing great with her new home and her new big
brother. She’s top of her class, having passed out of puppy and beginner
training, going straight to intermediate training. Watch out world, this is one
smart pup!
Kelly
- who is now Molly - is an unbelievable dog. She loves our older dog,
Isabel, and that made things easy as far as training.
Baxter (a.k.a. Antony) has a new family who is absolutely in love with him. Nothing but smiles on everyone's faces.
