   Last summer we adopted Milly from family dogs new life shelter and I am very happy to say that the addition to our family is one we can’t imagine not having. We are very very happy to have her!!!

   I love FDNL and am addicted to the website and following which dogs have been adopted. Just a thought – what about every once in a while putting the dogs who have been there a while (Sweetie, Gretsh, etc) towards the top of the list again. It seems once the dogs are past the first 10 or so – they are there for quite some time. Like people stop looking past that point. Again, just a thought! You guys are the best, and such incredible people. Keep up the good work!!

   We adopted Lily from your shelter… She was one of the chow, basset, retriever mixes…We love her so much and would love to see pix of her brother Phillip and her sisters! Is that at all possible?

   Last year my family and I addopted a australian shepard-malamute mix named Red. He is the best dog ever! When we first met him he was really scared of men and barked and was terrified of my dad. But a year later he is great!!! He is sooo sweet and loving and is overall a great dog! I am a huge fan of FDNL and if I am looking to adopt another dog, this will be the first place I look!!!!

   We adopted a senior lab mix, Pupper Do, from you back in August. Her name is now Pepper, and Pep is doing fantastic. What a sweet, affectionate, funny girl. She and my other old gal get along, and Pep loves everyone she sees and gets along great with other dogs too.

   Your shelter is so awesome! We make donations as we can, and we spread the word too. Thank you for all you do save animals. You’ll always have our support!

   We adopted our dog Missy from Family Dogs in 2005. She has been a wonderful addition to our family. Missy goes hiking, biking and running with us, not to mention sleeps with our 9 yr old son every night. She is slowing down a bit but continues to take her duties as bully breed ambassador to the world seriously, always showing off her gentle good manners when she meets new children, people and dogs. Keep up the great work at your shelter!

   We adopted Sophie earlier this month and she’s doing great. I was able to describe what dog personality we were used to and Sophie was introduced to us. She has some anxiety issues, but she is doing much better. She is now crate trained and taking her on walks isn’t as challenging anymore for us/her. Thanks so much for recommending Sophie, she’s a perfect fit for us.

   I adopted Edison in July. I wanted to return him almost immediately. Thankfully you could not take him back for about a week. We made a truce. I started calling him Eddie. We were tentative for a while but really bonded during 2 weeks at the beach. He is everything I wanted in an animal companion. And he is very attentive and loyal to me. We are still working on our boundaries but are very happy together. Thank you so much for your organization.

    So happy everything worked out for you and Eddie! Thank you for sticking with it, it is so common for rescue pets to be a challenge in the beginning but sometimes all it takes is time, and the occasional ‘truce’

    We adopted Pepper and Sprite almost a year ago today. Great Pyrenees sisters. They have been the best addition to our family ever! They are so wonderful with our children, and are great protectors of our home. Just wanted to write and say thank you for the help in picking them out, and we love what you all are doing with this shelter! We have recommended you to everyone we know that is looking for a dog!

    About 2 years ago I adopted a 6yr. old rotweiller named scout from your establishment. I just wanted all who work there to know that she is the greatest family member anybody could have asked for. So I just wanted to say thank you for all you do for the 4 legged friends and keep up the great work.

    p.s. scout is doing great…

    thanks again Jerry
