Homecoming

We received some updated photos of former Turkey dog, Daisy. The first one, with her human brother, is a favorite. You can see the love. Her mom, Janet, tells us every time she is the perfect match for them! Love these success stories!

Look who became the poster girl for National Golden Retriever Day at The Nautical Dog. It’s Charlotte, Sharon’s foster enjoying her new bed from Nautical Dog!

Too Cute not to share.

Here is a photo of Woody who we adopted in 2015 celebrating the first day of Advent with his very own Advent calendar. – The Trahan’s

Izzy (former Turkey dog Larissa) has adapted quickly to her new home. She is amazingly calm and adaptable, and is just as happy to lounge around the house with her humans as she is to jump up and go for a long walk. She loves the cold weather and enjoys sitting in the backyard watching for squirrels. Our 13-year-old daughter has already taught Izzy some basic commands, and in turn Izzy has trained us that a gesture with her paw means “don’t stop petting me.” Izzy enjoyed meeting her extended human family over the holidays. She is especially gentle with her toddler human cousins, who like to hug her and pile all her toys at her feet. Izzy is the perfect addition to our family and has brought so much joy to our lives. We are incredibly grateful to all of the volunteers who helped to bring her home to us.

Cajun Update: It didnt take him long to settle in. We adore each other. He has been shown how life should be. He loves “The Ball,” loves the beach and loves his mommy!

Homecoming This is Ari (former China dog Ashley) picking up her human brother Sam and sister Claire from school. Their smiles say it all, they just love her! Her new name is short for Ariel from the little mermaid who gave up her voice to be a human. Ari had her voice taken away from her before she came to the US.

We LOVE it when our alumni check in. “Turkey Dog” Barbie came to the U.S. in May 2019, and is adored by her adoptive family. Here she is enjoying some time at the beach. And, she’s taking her therapy dog test with TDI next month. How cool is that? We know she’ll do GRREAT!! Let us know what your SEVA “pups” are doing.

Is it called “catnapping” when a dog does it? Gee, I was fortunate to adopt Bruno (aka Comet) in October 2018 from SEVA GRREAT! He came with a Turkish passport and a beaded necklace made by his rescuers for good luck and was well-adjusted after spending several months with his wonderful foster family in Virginia Beach. One of Bruno›s many fans in our neighborhood gave him this monogrammed dog scarf for Christmas so I›ve added «debonnaire» to his long list of attributes. I am blessed with his love and companionship and I love him to pieces! -Kathy Jens
