We love happy endings! These are just some of the reasons that we do the work we do. We hope you enjoy these stories as much as us. Milo adopters - email us your photos and stories for posting on the web site!

Name: SIAM Adopted: 3/2008

Sam (formerly Siam) is a fantastic, spirited, funny guy with whom we are all in love–including Maggie, our dog. The two animals have a sibling rivalry: whenever one is getting some human attention, the other butts his or her way in. At other times they lounge together on the couch, or in their "bunk beds" (Sam's bed sits on Maggie's crate). Anyway, he is wonderful and we are very grateful to Milo for bringing him to us.

Name: DELILAH Breed: Boxer - Hound Mix Adopted: 1/2008

Hi Ann! Hope you are doing well! Just wanted to say hello and give you a quick update on our wonderful Delilah. She has really come out of her shell and is running around like a mad woman on the hill! She has been coming to therapy with me and all the kids love her! Aside from a shoe or two every once in a while, she is always on her best behavior! Thank you again for bringing so much joy into my life. :) Jamie More Photos

 

Name: BELLA Breed: Australian Shepherd - Australian Cattle Dog Mix Adopted: 2/2008

Hi Milo. Bella has been with us now for about 2 months. She is great!! We LOVE her!!!. She is almost 30 lbs now. Bella is coming out of her shyness and loves my husband. She's very smart. We're in doggie school now and her attention span is terrific. Her favorite pastime is running with other dogs and playing. We're working on not chasing the cats, I'm confident that she will learn to be gentle with them and not chase. It would be great for her to have another canine companion for her romp around with. Perhaps fostering at first. More Photos

Name: BEAR Breed: Landseer - Border Collie Mix Adopted: 1/2008

Muzzy Bear was very shy when we first brought him home, but is now very acclimated to his new environment. He had some kind of nasal infection, which I am happy to report has cleared up after the the vet gave him some antibiotics. He likes to play with the other pets and gets along well with his new brother Petey (our Border Collie). The cats however do not want to play with him, but he is very good about moving away from them when they hiss. He had a couple of accidents in the house for the first two weeks but is now house trained. He is learning basic obedience training and learns fairly quickly, He loves going to the local dog park in Fremont and to the Coyote Hills Regional Park for hikes. He is not doing very well in his piano lessons because he has no fingers, but other than that he is a wonderful dog. People seem to be drawn to him when we take him out. He seems to fit into our home very well , but I think he would adapt to anyone who loves dogs. Thanks for your part in helping us adopt him. More Photos

 

Name: LOLA now Layla Breed: Dalmatian - Shepherd Mix Adopted: 5/2005

Yes, yes. We have many pics. Be careful what you wish for... Many are attached. And here are the headlines: We renamed the b/w puppy Layla. She's 55 pounds, and total Dalmation personality - HIGH energy, very smart. In spite of starting out with a big personality, she ended up being the submissive one, complete with peeing. We learned not to make eye contact in the morning, to feed her last, etc. She was a little hard to train as she is NOT food motivated. So she and I went to puppy class and then came home and shared what we learned with the family (two- and four-footed), and all is well now. She is a very clever dog, and eager to please. Overall, she is a complete love apple, and is totally devoted to our daughter (as witnessed by the "poor Layla" photo above). Our only complaint is that she wants to eat the cat so we continue to work on that. The brown puppy is now Sammy (Samantha). She's 85 pounds, and I really don't know what her breed personality is. She's a total sweetie with our daughter (now 8) but she would take down an intruder. She's somewhat lioness in the sense the she sleeps even more than our 12 year-old beagle, but when she moves - she moves. A different training plan with her as she's highly food motivated, but really not very bright. She likes to dominate, but continues to defer to our senior beagle. I don't know how much longer that will last, but we continue to reinforce as we can. Overall, we are tremendously happy with the girls. We still call them the puppies even though they are three... So please highlight us as a success story. More Photos
