Greta is getting along wonderfully with her new family.
She was so afraid of everyone and everything when she first came
home. It took some time, she now has so much more confidence in
herself. She started obedience training 2 weeks ago and is doing
super. She has just started playing with toys a couple of weeks
ago. I don't think she had been on many walks, but now does so
well. Greta is a very sweet and loving dog. Thank you so much.

 Adopted
August 2005 Louise was
a 2 year old, spayed, female sable German Shepherd Dog. Thelma was
a 2-3 year old, black/tan female, German Shepherd Dog. Louise was
a high energy puppy. Thelma was also
playful, but more reserved. They did very well with small dogs
(4lb yorkie) all the way up to the big kids. They were very sweet
and
loving and came to us via a very awful, but too common situation.
Louise, and her buddy Thelma, were brutally tossed
out of a car in the country and left in a cloud of dust. Thelma
suffered sprains and a nasty hematoma, but is otherwise is recovering
very well. Louise was fortunate and wasn't terribly hurt. She was
able to come to us and get her health care and spay right away.
Thelma underwent medication treatment and rest before she received
her spay.
A special thank you goes out to
Louise's sponsor: Sandra James
