Name: HAYS now RAMSEY Breed: Labrador Retriever - Shepherd Mix Adopted: 5/2013

Hi Melissa. Thanks you for your email. I hope you'll be happy to learn that Hayes (now named Ramsey after my dad) is flourishing at his new home. He's growing like crazy, the vet thinks he's going to be up to 90 lbs! He's doing very well with basic commands like sit, down, off, come and leave it. He's also starting to learn how to stay. He loves to snuggle and will often sleep in my lap or pressed next to me or my husband. He's a big lover and has the best temperament, we see why you loved him so. Turns out he loves most people and dogs too. My husband has been really focused on giving Ramsey lots of love as we think he has a little fear of men in general. He's running around all day and playing with lots of toys and friends' dogs. (We've tried to provide him some interaction with another dog every day and it's paying off). He's gaining confidence and starting to get over his shyness for sure. He's also doing spectacular on a leash for puppy and we've not had too many potty training accidents. Overall we feel like we hit the jackpot of puppy ownership with Ramsey and we love him very much. Thanks to you and the rest of the team at Milo for helping Ramsey find us. We couldn't be more in love with him and grateful to the Milo Foundation for helping place unwanted animals into loving homes. Here are some of his latest pictures (one with the adorable squishy face. Thanks again and we'll keep in touch. Best, Jennifer & Josh

 

Name: FOXY Breed: Shepherd Mix Adopted: 6/2013

Hi Melissa, We love this dog so much! She couldn't be more perfect for us. Here is a picture of her in the back seat of my car with my daughter's friend (she spends a lot of time at our house). She is an oversized lap dog. We marvel at our good fortune for finding her. I know it's early, but she hasn't done ONE thing "wrong." She gets at least one long walk every day, and sometimes two. She definitely wants to chase cats and squirrels, but I have never had a dog that didn't want to chase critters. She likes being brushed and pampered. She is a love bug and I can't imagine not having her. And it is a win-win because she is part of my health/weight loss plan. I have been walking much more often because of Foxy, so we are all getting back into shape. My daughter is almost done with school and then she will mostly be home with Foxy, which is good because it is sad when I leave for work in the morning and she gives me sad eyes. Best, Mary

 

Name: FIESTA Adopted: 2/2008

Sarah, we absolutely cannot thank you and Milo Foundation enough for bringing Fiesta into our lives. I wanted to take a minute to give you a snapshot of how life here has changed since her arrival. When we lost our Zoey suddenly, the entire household really took it hard. Fiesta's entry into our home, with her loving & wonderful personality, boundless energy, and absolute joy of living, has turned us all around. During the workday, she sits next to my monitor and gives me regular head butts and kisses and, of course, tries to type whenever possible. Always the equal-opportunity kitten, she also spends time with Max (our dog who is smitten with her and follows her wherever she goes), occasionally wrapping her paws around his neck and giving him little bites as he wags his tail furiously. For some reason, they almost always decide to play this game at 3:00 in the afternoon. Who knew? Samantha, our 4-year-old Maine Coon mix, and Fiesta have developed a very close bond and spend lots of time grooming one another while stretched out on the bed. When they've been in different rooms for a while, one or the other will give a little chirp and the other comes running. They touch their heads together like they're sharing some secret. It's pretty hilarious when Fiesta decides to play hockey with her toy mice -- she'll swat it up the hallway, grab it with her mouth, and then vault into the clawfoot tub for a skid around the curved bottom. We all pretty much stop what we're doing to watch the show. When Sheila comes home, Fiesta will hang with her, chirping and purring like mad, while Sheila checks email and unwinds. If we're watching a movie, she'll come and sit with us at the top of the sofa. Then, she starts to get this dopey, sleepy look and she'll get so out of it that she just slides down onto the cushions and stays there. It's a pretty good life. For all of us. Fiesta is pretty much everything we could have asked for -- we all thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Deb, Sheila, Max, Sam & Fiesta More Photos

 

Name: PHOEBE Breed: Poodle-Miniature - Terrier Mix Adopted: 12/2012

Hey there. I just wanted to send an email to update you on our little Phoebe. We adopted her from you guys this past December, and are so happy we did. She's a playful, energetic, inquisitive, adventurous and spastic puppy. She gave me a run for my money in teaching her how to walk. My stubbornness and dedication paid off, and overpowered Phoebe's, however, and I have since enjoyed having my little buddy with me when I go running, walking, rollerskating, skateboarding, and even biking. She LOVES people and LOVES other dogs. She even loves the vet (I swear, she fell asleep on the exam table once). Her greetings need some work, she favors the "Hi! I'm Phoebe, so let's be best friends and I'll lick you all over the face" approach. Not a lot of dogs appreciate this tactic. She's a smart cookie, and has learned lots of tricks with just hand signals. Needless to say, my husband and I are proud parents of our little one :) We wonder what her brother, Tyler (maybe his name has changed) is like. Does he stop what he's doing every time he hears a siren? Does he have to say good morning to both his owners before leaving the bedroom in the morning? Does he do laps around the house at night, or chase and catch his tail and run in circles over and over and over again? Is he anything like his quirky sister? Anyhow, thanks for our little marshmallow. She's a bit of trouble and a total delight ;) We couldn't imagine our world without her in it. Jordan (and Jesse)

 

Name: KATRINA Breed: Schnauzer - Miniature - Lhasa Apso Mix Adopted: 5/2013

We love Katrina! She's been with us for a month now. She gets along great with our grey hound and cat. She sleeps in our 11 year old's bed every night. She is so cute and sweet. We feel like we've known her forever. She enjoys her walks and has learned to use our doggie door. Everyone who meets her loves her. Thank you Milo Foundation!

 

Name: MURPHY aka Ben Breed: Australian Shepherd Adopted: 1/2013
