Happy Tails Success Stories
My dog lives here - sweet poem about sharing your home with your pet
Emma
has fully recovered from hip dysplasia. She had to sleep on a bed on
the floor for a few months after the surgery but now she's back on the
bed every night (she needs doggie stairs to get up on the bed now but
after a little training, she uses them with ease). She is also in the
process of becoming a Therapy dog.
She's come a long way from that straggly little girl that was picked up on the golf course! Thanks again for saving her and giving us the opportunity to adopt each other for she has truly adopted me as her own!
Attached is a picture from
our daughter Alicia and our son Billy. They
are so very excited to have Chance in our family and this is their way
to say thank you. She is doing well so far and has completely made
herself at home. Her and one of our cats were even cuddled up together
last night.
Ginger was on the euthanasia list at the county
pound. She was taken in by BARC and adopted shortly thereafter. She is
now a very loved member of a great family! Here she is in her Halloween
costume.
We
adopted Jetta (formerly Peanut) early this
past summer. She is
a great dog and is fitting in wonderfully with our family! She loves to
play with her toys and go on walks around the neighborhood. She is
definitely a spoiled beagle! We are so happy that we were
able to
work with BARC to find a dog that is perfect for us. Thank you to all
of the volunteers who helped Jetta find her way to us.
Corey & Baxter
Lacey is a mild-mannered,
friendly, sweet, gentle, and well behaved
beagle with a beautiful smile. We know she had a sad past before coming
to BARC and she did need time to learn that she was safe and loved. She
has finally come out of her shell and now her personality sparkles
through in everything she does. She likes her belly rubbed, she loves
to eat, she likes to play, she wrestles in the backyard with her
brother Beau (also from BARC). She ONLY barks when she gets excited
(usually at meal time or when we say "potty walk"), she loves to go on
walks, she likes the dog park, she likes to bury treats and then dig
them up, and she likes to be in bed by 10:30. Lacey is wonderful
beagle. We are so happy we have her.
Beau
(formally known as Rascal) is the best beagle in the world! He's been a
part of our family for a little over a year now and we can't imagine
life any other way. From the beginning he has fit right in at home. He
is the sweetest boy. He loves his dog door and learned how to use it in
about 3 minutes. He loves treats and when we rub his belly. If we are
petting him and then stop, Beau paws at us as if you say, "Hey, keep
petting me!" He is quite affectionate. He loves to go on walks and
hikes. He's even been to the top of Camelback Mountain! Thank you to
BARC for helping us find our best friend.
Shilo
is doing great! He is such a good dog & we love having him. I
think
he is very happy too! He loves sleeping in his doggy bed we got him
& it is right next to our bed! He wakes up our daughter every
morning to get ready for school & is so funny when we get home
from
work - that is the only time he howls of excitement or we could leave
for 15 minutes & he does the same thing! We just could not be
happier!
We are so thrilled with
ScoutÖ.we say on a daily basis what a good boy
he is! It has been almost 3 months since we adopted him and we wanted
to send you a few photos to reassure you that Scout has truly found his
forever home. Scoutís personality is such a perfect match for us, and
we think he is very happy being the center of attention.
With
the addition of Snoopy I now have three beagles and one rescued New
Zealand Blue Healer (Sophie). I met Snoopy at a Pet Smart where I was
volunteering for BARC (just before Christmas) and it was love at first
sight. I had recently adopted Gypsy from BARC a few months prior.
Thanks to my Beagles I am ready for a three dog night. Beagles Rule!
The
dogs had some special Purina puppy ice cream on their birthday, and
loved it! We can't get enough of our babies. Tag and Cash bring so much
joy to our life, and are the center of ALL attention whenever there is
a crowd over. I swear they put on a show! Our friends say they are the
only dogs that they'll let lick them, and they LOVE to lick. I go bike
riding with them every morning, and they love every minute of it. Thank
you for having such a great organization to have brought these babies
to us!
Jake seems very happy
here... we are all doing well. He is loved.
Emma is doing AWESOME! We've
been through the Petsmart beginner
training class and we are completely bonded now. . She is truly a HAPPY
dog! I love her so much! Thank you very much for saving her! If it
wasn't for BARC, we wouldn't have found each other. I recommend you to
everyone I know that wants a beagle.
We have had Blue for a few
weeks now and she is such a great dog! We
are so happy that she is a part of our family now. She loves to go on
walks around the neighborhood and to play with her toys. She is fitting
in well with us and our other beagle, Cookie. We are so thankful that
we were able to adopt Blue from such a great organization!
We
have had Eva a total of 4 weeks and we love her like she has been part
of the family for years. Eva loves going for walks and car rides. She
is also a bed hog for such a small little girl but we don't mind
sharing the bed with her. Missy and Eva love to play tug-of-war
together. Eva tries her best to win but Missy is a lot bigger and
stronger. Thank you for letting us take Eva and give her the love that
she so much deserves and needed.
Sweet Charlotte and her
older beagle brother Max take a long nap on a
comfortable couch after a big day of play.
This
sweet puppy is now named Snoopy. We are really enjoying him, and I
think he likes us too! He's such a good boy! Thanks so much for our
happy little guy!
We
got Bucky when he was just 8 weeks old. He's become a member of our
family and is great with our kids and their friends. Bucky has a sweet
personality and likes to be held. He loves to retrieve a tennis ball;
he's a fast little runner! He is healthy and happy. We love having him
in our family!
Barnaby
is such a good little dog and I really enjoy his company. The first day
my dog claimed the really nice blanket that one of his foster homes had
given him, but that night she got her comeuppance when he decided, he
preferred her bed! They are so silly.
Mylee the beagle and her
brother Knuckles the boxer are great playmates
and get along wonderfully. They love each other and are playing
together more than ever.
Izzy
the young beagle is much loved by her new buddy Jax. They play until
she tired and then they sleep side by side. The entire family adores
her!
Sweet
little Winston, the beagle mix, found a new best friend in Willis.
Beagles usually do better in two's and three's. Twice the fun and love!
This
is one lucky beagle! She had a pitiful past but is now living an ideal
life. Emma has people that love her a lot and a beagle buddy named Zoe
as a new best friend. "I can't thank you enough for her. She has
brought so much joy and happiness into our lives. She is happy and
doing well."
Hard
to believe that there's any beagle in Emily, until you hear her bark.
Thank you BARC for allowing her beagle mom to have her puppies while
safely in your care. She is sweet and smart and a much loved addition
to our home.
Henry
is doing great. He has really warmed up to me. He hardly barks. He
loves his walks. I walk him morning and night. He loves to play with
his toys and he loves to snuggle in my blankets. He is really a sweet
boy. He was so excited when I got home yesterday after being gone a few
hours. He ran and ran from the garage into the house about 3 or 4
times. Then he snuggled with me on the couch. It was just cute.
Many of you have been
wondering when you would hear baby news from us.
Well, itís finally hereÖwe decided to adopt a one year old little boy.
I know it sounds sudden but the adoption was fairly simple and quick.
The little boy was abandoned by his previous parents. Once we met him
we could not resist his beautiful eyes and shiny red hair. We knew in
an instant we could give him a good home with lots of love and
attention. We were able to pick him up this afternoon so he could be
with us for Christmas. We are so excited to have him and know his life
will be full of love.
The
only thing
better than one
beagle is two! Barney and Eddie are lucky to be brothers since they
were both adopted by the same great couple. The younger boy Barney has
to teach the elder Eddie how to play since it was a part of life that
he had not yet known. When the boys are not sleeping on the couch they
are playing tag in the yard. They are two much loved dogs
Hunter
is a sweet, gentle, calm and loving boy. He and his beagle sister Daisy
both sleep under the covers with us at night. During the day we will
find them playing and chasing each other around the house. He enjoys
daily walks where he can use his beagle nose to sniff the flowers and
rabbits. One of his favorite pastimes is lying on the back of the couch
where he can watch the world go by. We are so lucky to have adopted
Hunter. Heís a sweetheart that we'll love forever
Meet
Bentley. She was quickly adopted by her foster family since she fit so
well into their pack. She was given up by a someone that could no
longer care for her and adopted by a family that will now spoil her
forever. Fostering is a good way to give a second chance to a dog and
find a new best friend.
Bowie
is thrilled to have an owner who works from home. He gets a lot of
attention from his owner and also play time with dogs of family and
friends. He settled quickly into his new home and put on a few pounds
that were needed to keep this beagle boy happy and healthy!
Fonzie
is shown here with his beagle buddy Daisy. This lucky beagle who was
once a stray is now loving life with a couple that adores him and he
has plenty of playtime with the six other dogs in the house.
In just one short week
Libbie has become part of our family and
everyone just loves her. Her first day here was party central and she
got to meet everyone in the family plus some family friends. She and
Oliver were both totally exhausted that night. She has adjusted so
well. In fact we call her "Miss" Libbie and she has taken over my
couch!!. She and Oliver get along great!
Maddie will go, go, go;
then, sleep so hard! She loves to chase
&
be chased. She's eating well and is very polite when taking food - at
dinner she sits ON HER OWN and waits until last for her bowl to be put
down. And, she eats "like a lady". She's one big love packaged in a
petite frame. She loves to "hunt" geckos along the wall in the back
yard. She also loves to go on walks . . . everything's a new adventure.
This
middle-aged beagle had a short stay in foster care before being adopted
by a couple that adores him. Before too long in his new home he went on
his first vacation to San Diego to a pet friendly hotel on the beach.
This lucky and loved dog is now named Diego and his owners are recently
engaged! Best wishes to Gretchen and Tim and to their long and happy
life together with Diego!
Minnie
is doing great. We actually changed her name to Lucy, and she's
beginning to respond to it. She and Charlie have quickly become best
friends and follow each other everywhere. Lucy's quite smart and can
sometimes get herself into trouble, but we are working on being more
careful about leaving food on the counter (she's quite a climber!) and
closing doors (she can open doors if they aren't shut all the way!).
Thanks for helping us find Lucy and bringing her into our family.
Karmi
has been the perfect addition to the family and she made herself right
at home the first day. There are daily wrestling matches in the
backyard and howling contests, and both her and my other beagle, Chloe,
are happy to finally have constant playmates. She is such a sweetheart,
and her tail's always wagging a mile a minute. She's full of energy and
makes a great running partner, and she makes friends everywhere we go.
Senorita
Lolita is the sweetest dog that has ever been in this house - and there
have been many! She came into my life as my foster dog and quickly
found her place in my pack and in my heart. She is so appreciative to
be with other dogs and people and know that she's got her "forever
home" with us. She loves to take naps outside in the sun and is the
first one to the door when it's time to take a walk. We are so very
lucky to have her.
Chip
is a dog that should be cloned - who could ever believe that this guy
was abandoned in his first year of life? He came to our home weighing
only 14 pounds and could squeeze through the pool fence. After one week
of a lot of love and many treats he is no longer able to do this. He
plays like a puppy but behaves champ. He puts his paws on your shoulder
like he's giving a hug and will be the best friend of anyone in the
family that will let him bury himself in their bed.
Cleo
is adjusting quite well to her new home and loves walks. She is quite
fond of chasing lizards and runs around bushes, tries to get under the
bushes, and jumps on top of the bushes to try to get the lizards. She
never catches them, of course, but keeps trying.
We
just love Mookie (formerly known as Charlie Brown) and he is fitting in
to our family well. When my husband and I go to work, he goes to a dog
sitterís home and plays with ten other dogs. He is also in obedience
training and can sit, lie down, come and drop it on command. We are
still working on loose leash walking; he does great when there are no
distractions, but a minute another dog or people go by, all bets are
off!
Thank you for bringing Brownie (now Bonnie) to
us. She did just fine.
It's almost like she's always lived with us. She is such a treasure. We
really feel blessed to have found her and B.A.R.C. I prayed for the
right dog to come to our world and she certainly is PERFECT!!!
We
thought you would like to know that Fenix is doing really well with us.
She has found her place in the people and puppy pack. Walks are a
handful with 3 beagles (and very loud), but so much fun. Fenix has not
had any accidents in the house; she is in and out of the doggie door at
her leisure. She is a real lap dog and so sweet, she follows me around
everywhere. We are really enjoying her.
