Happy Endings: Buffy (now Bridget)
Buffy, fostered by Cora in Arkansas, went home to Nancy Gilbert, of Connecticut, in June of 2008. Buffy’s name is now Bridget and her new family reports in that she is doing well. She likes to play with all her toys and sleep in bed with the Gilberts.
She also likes to play with Santana, her new Jack Russell Terrier sister. They are like bookends, always together. They eat together, sleep together and play together — you name it, they don’t do anything without the other. The Gilberts also rescued a Toy Fox Terrier from a breeder, so now Bridget has a new playmate, but Santana is still her favorite.
Nancy says, “We also got a doggie door for her. That way, she can go out whenever she feels like it. She is so spoiled that if she doesn’t get her way she whines like a baby until she gets her way, which she sometimes gets. Not always.” Sounds like Bridget is living it up!

Happy Endings: Bella and the Ashley family
Bella was fostered by June in California, and adopted by Sandee Ashley in January of 2009. Sandee writes, “She fits into our family like a glove. Bella loves all our grandkids. We have 5 grandkids all under the age of 6 yrs old.”
Bella loves to sit right in the cat tree, next to Sandee when she is using the computer. And Bella is generous with her love! She sits with the Ashleys’ 3-year-old grandson Gavin as they watch cartoons together.
Bella really enjoys her walks with Sandee in the evenings. Her favorite trail is the New York Creek trail in El Dorado Hills. She loves all the squirrels. Bella runs along the creek trail and loves to jump in the water. Sandee also adds that she enjoyed meeting Vickey, who came to do the home visit during the application process.
ADOPTED! Harley
Adopted!
CongRATulations to the Creamer/Kesseler family!
“Harley” is a big tough name for such a little sweetheart, but here he is! Harley is about 2 years old, and weighs 10 pounds. He is a big time snuggle buddy. Harley is working hard on his housetraining and is crate trained. He sleeps willingly in a crate at night, but he prefers to snooze in your lap during TV time. Harley is docile and very quiet, and would do well in just about any home. Harley was recently injured by playing with a larger dog, but is recovering nicely from his sore back. We are working on leash training with him, and he’s learning quickly. As luck would have it, his fostermom’s last name is Davidson. Do you need a little buddy named Harley?
ADOPTED! Elmo
Adopted!
CongRATulations to the Blackman family!
Elmo came from a shelter in East Texas when his time ran out, and is now safe in his Connecticut foster home. Elmo is a very skinny 9 pounds, and our vets think he is about 3 or 4 years old. Elmo is very shy at first, but warms up quickly. He loves his comfy crate and is already crate trained and working hard on his housetraining. He was probably a yard dog , but he has learned quickly that indoors is the place to be! When outdoors, though, he’ll need a fenced yard. He plays with toys like a puppy and with the young dogs in his foster home. Elmo is a type “B” rat terrier, which means he has short little legs. You don’t have to live on Sesame Street to love Elmo!
