It’s been a pretty epic 4 hour play session between Elwood and Jake and they are both finally worn out!  Thanks again for everything. 

Our newest member of the family. Thank you!

Last April we adopted Maya. She has proven to be a great dog & is just one of the bunch here. We love her to bits!

I adopted my sweet pup from you last Feb ❤️ Kristen and Oliver

Hi! I’m a previous adopter from 2017 (of Ralph of Ralph and Lauren – he’s now named Calvin).

Best, Shilpa

Hello, AFH!  Our forever pups are doing great here in Florida. Buster (the blonde) is 10 and doing great, although his visits to the senior center as a hospice therapy dog didn’t agree with his sensitive skin so the vet suggested this nifty protective outfit. I can’t say he loves it. Kermit is 7 and still a hilarious curmudgeon. He is never without a toy in his mouth. He’s pictured here with his beloved bat from Halloween.  Thank you for giving us these wonderful pups who have brought us so much joy!!!

One year ago we were honored to adopt Hattie (aka “Flo”). She is such a sweet girl, and also very full of energy, which is great for her Agility training! I just wanted to let A Forever Home know how special this little girl is, how loved she is, and how blessed we feel.  Here are a few pictures of her (she is the little red/white hound mix), from posing with her two “sisters”, Lottie and Zaina, to cuddling, laying in the sun, and in Agility class. Oh….and also a picture of the perfect heart on her side.  Thank you again for this wonderful bundle of sweet energy!

Hi! Yes, we adopted Cleo (formerly Sabrina) through AFH in 2013. We actually have two AFH dogs so it took me a minute to figure out which one you meant. Here are some photos – Cleo is the black one. She’s very sweet and has been great with our kids. She loves to burrow and is always looking for something soft to snuggle into. As you can see, she is inseparable from our other dog, Kyla, who we adopted in 2012.  Cleo is healthy and well-behaved (but she does like to bark!). The vet has warned us to keep an eye on her back legs because her long body puts some pressure on her hips. But so far so good. We hope your Mister Milton is also doing well. Cleo missed her siblings a lot when we first brought her home back in 2013! Best, Kim 

Over the years we’ve been blessed by family dogs: Carmen, Audrey (A Forever Home), Kingston and Lila (A Forever Home). While losing a pet is emotionally devastating, finding the right pet can be tremendously uplifting! After Audrey died, we realized Kingston sorely missed and needed a companion, so our daughter began searching for a puppy. We turned to A Forever Home, as it offered a reliable network of families fostering puppies. Upon identifying possible mates, we rode with Kingston to meet them. What better place than a spacious, fenced backyard for Lila and Kingston to get acquainted! Lila was fostered by a family whose friendly, male pup helped her adapt to living inside and out. Our dogs played together for over an hour. Lila won Kingston’s heart and ours too. Today Lila leads our pack (as Kingston is gone) and brings joy and unconditional love to us all.
