Our Harley, formerly Pecan, when adopted and now!

I love your throw backs so wanted to share ours…we adopted Cooper 10 1/2 years ago from Aforeverhome.  He is the best dog, so sweet and gentle – we’ve been blessed!

Mila is 5. Formerly AFH Duchess. We adopted her almost 5 years ago. She loves chasing squirrels, going for long walks, cuddling and playing with her toys. She’s the best!

Hello,
Hello,

My husband and I adopted our dog Tigger (then Nathan) from you in 2005. He
is almost 13 now and doing very well. 

We adopted Lucky in December 2016. In the 9 months that have passed, Lucky has exceeded all of our expectations. He’s such a sweet, loving, loyal dog, and really brought warmth to our house. He has a very calm demeanor with an obsession of squeaky toys. I would also categorize him as a “Velcro” dog. No matter where you go in the house, he’ll stick by your side the entire time. In our short time together, we’ve had many hikes and a few long road trips and Lucky has been up to the task in both areas. Our travels plans are now based on if Lucky can come along… that’s how much we love hanging with him. Lucky’s adoption posting stated that whoever gets him will be the lucky one. This is 100% accurate. We hope he’s around as long as possible and will do our best to maximize his golden years.

Hi there,

13 years and 1 month ago I rescued Cody from you. He was rescued by your
organization from someone who attempted to breed Australian and German
Shepard but was neglectful. His litter was 12 dogs that you called “The
Doggy Dozen”. You listed Cody as Colin along with 11 other Irish names in
the litter. Remember that litter?

I agreed to rescue Cody in August 2004 and you delivered him to my house in
late in September.

Cody is now very old and can no longer stand up on his own. I have to carry
him in and out of the house to go to the bathroom 3 times a day. As you can
see from the pic today he still has a desire to live so we made the decision
to let him live as long as he can. His time is coming soon but I wanted to
share that he has been a wonderful dog all these years and I appreciate you
rescuing him and allowing us to make him a big part of our lives.

Sincerely, Joe

I adopted my sweet “Angel” Baby from AFH 14 years ago!  The picture I included down below, is her and I from this past spring! 🙂

Hi,

I’ll send some pics of Tiger (now Thor). He is right around 100 lbs now & a real sweetheart. Would love to see pics of Lion (Eddie) as well.
Thanks for the email intro…

Judy–

Here’s a recent picture of Hazel (and Heidi and me), if anyone at Forever Home is interested.

Best regards,

David

We love our Rufus!

Just wanted to share three dogs we got from A Forever Home at 3 different times.  Nilla was Asleigh from Abandoned litter 5 years ago.  The red one is Victoria from Puerto Rico rescued last year.  She is now Cassie.  The hound is Melody.  My son got her a month ago.  He is visiting this weekend.    Thank you all very much.  They have enriched our lives.

​I just wanted to thank all of you for approving me for Rosie’s adoption!  She is the sweetest dog ever and she has blended so nicely with all of my other pups.

I am attaching a photo (pardon the windowsill – Wiggly Joe – beagle/jack russell did a job on the windowsill when he was teething!)

Dear Robin,

Here is our sweet girl Alaska (fka Sasha) celebrating her birthday! She turned 3 years old (Feb. 13). She had special treats all day and was spoiled by her family. We LOVE her so much! (And those ears!!) She is such a great dog – thank you for taking such good care of her!

Hi there,

Just wanted to check in and let you know we are LOVING our sweet George! We adopted him just on Monday, he’s been wonderful!! He’s getting lots of love, my daughter was just reading him a goodnight story.

Thank you!!

Hi all,

Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that Pearl’s Peep (now Pepper) is doing beautifully in her new home with us! We’re approaching the two-week anniversary of welcoming her home, and we could not be happier about making her a part of our family. We’re pretty sure she’s really happy too

🙂  She settled in very quickly, and has been eating, sleeping, exploring, playing, and learning like a champ from Day 1! And growing fast! She is so sweet and affectionate, and also very self-assured and independent for such a young pup. She seems to be very smart; she has already picked up SO much from her human and canine teachers. Definitely a quick learner! Speaking of canine teachers, she is getting along great with her four doggie siblings, who range in age from 2 to 8 years, and in size from 14 to 65 pounds. She is developing a unique relationship with each one of them, and is always ready to wrestle or play chase with whoever is in the mood! She loves all her chew toys, and is a HUGE fan of the all-natural treats we get from Best Bully Sticks. She already knows the routine, and is learning to sit nicely like the “big dogs” in order to get her treat. So cute!

We’re just thrilled to be Pepper’s forever family, and appreciate everything that you all do to make it possible for so many dogs to find good homes. We were really impressed with how smooth and well-organized your adoption process was. Especially amazing considering that you are volunteer-based! You clearly have a very devoted and dedicated team that cares deeply about what they do. I will most certainly recommend you to anyone I know who is looking to adopt a new furry family member….I really hope that Pepper’s siblings – and her mama, and all your other wonderful dogs – find great homes soon.

…below is a photo of the little sweetie herself hanging out in the home office with me.

Thanks so much for giving her such a great start on the path that led her into our lives 🙂  We adore her!

Best, Erica

Good Afternoon,

My name is Traci, and my boyfriend(Warron) and I adopted our beautiful girl Sable in at 4 months old in 2014, she is a Belgian Malinois

She has been a blessing in our lives, she just turned 2 at the beginning of December 2016 and we wanted to share an updated picture with you.

Sable has brought a lot of love and companionship into our home, not only for the humans but also for our cat Aspire ( who was also a rescue in the late summer of 2004 -picture enclosed as well)… also enclosed a picture of sable about an hour after we adopted her, we had her at a dog park this should be the first picture on the list.

Thank You For Your Time and Understanding, and we would also like to thank you for allowing us to adopt our beautiful girl Sable.

Sincerely
Traci L Jensen, Warron S French, Aspiri (cat) and Sable

Hi,

We just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and thank you for giving us the best early Christmas Gift this past July with Max. He is the perfect addition to our family!

Happy Holidays!

I just wanted to let everyone know that Ivy has had a wonderful first week in her forever home! She’s enjoyed all the smells and sights of her new neighborhood, as well has the hugs and pats in her new home. We’ve taken her on so many walks to that she’s been tuckered out and has slept soundly every night. She had a good first trip to the vet yesterday and, in addition to getting her meds, got her nails done. We love her so much, it’s hard to believe she’s been with us only one week. Today, we bought her a pretty new lined jacket that is waterproof for walks on cold or rainy days. Here’s a photo of it:

Hi,

I adopted Moose almost exactly 1 year ago, and wanted to let you know he is doing fantastic – he’s just the BEST dog!

Moose had been mis-identified as a boxer mix, and his first adopters returned him after he got really big. Turns out he is half St. Bernard and half Coonhound – good thing I love big dogs! He’s 105 pounds and probably has a few more pounds to go before he’s done growing.

He loves playing with other dogs at the park and going for walks, especially when we stop for treats. He also does a happy wiggle when he sees his favorite people. He’s a total goofball!

Thanks so much for all you do and for bringing Moose in to my life!

Best,

Andrea
