Rocky, formerly known as Sam

Says Rocky's mom "Rocky is wonderful!! The love of my life, for sure. We graduated from our 1st obedience class last week, and he was star student".

After Rabbit was adopted, her family decided to become an ACR foster home.  Since then, Rabbit has welcomed many a foster dog into her home and shown them the ropes (and the bones and the squeaky toys).

 
Maximus, adopted October 2005

I adopted maximus, in October.  I am proud to report that he has gone  through basic training at Pawtropolis, and loves to practice stay for  treats.  He loves to go kayaking and camping, and spends alot of time in his own favorite chair by the window.  This dog is spoiled rotten.  He loves the dog park and chew toys, especially ones that he can tear the stuffing out of.  He is a great puppy and he will be an amazing dog.  We are moving to Charlotte, NC in June and Maximus will be a city dog and not a country dog anymore. Thank You so much. 
PS His ears are huge. I love it.

Shelby (formerly Honey) adopted June 2005

Thanks to ACR and to foster parents Kim and Paul for helping Shelby find me!  She is a fabulous dog who was already so happy and well-mannered when I met her and is learning more by the minute.  I knew it was meant to be when I was unloading laundry from the dryer and she followed behind me and handed me a dropped sock.  Our jogs around the neighborhood are the best part of my day.  Shelby and I truly appreciate all the effort you put into helping great dogs like her find good homes.

Dax, adopted April 2005

Thank you, ACR  for such a perfect addition to our family! This is Dax with our son Julian and his cousins. Dax continually cracks us up with his goofy personality and we have never known such a smart, loving dog! He and our cat Maya have become great friends, and have taken up sleeping together in our son's room. Dax just fits right in! We really appreciate what your organization is doing. We hope that you can continue to brighten other peoples' and dogs' lives with your service.

Moe, adopted (and shaved!) April 2005

Mollie, Adopted March 2005

Mollie has a regular routine every morning. After breakfast, she goes on the back deck & lies in the sun!  Things are going fine.  She's quite a character!  Life is an adventure with her around! It's really going to be interesting to see how she adapts to our summer life. Our house has lots of comings & goings!

Buster, adopted January 2005

I just wanted to thank ACR and Buster's foster parents for everything that y'all do.  Buster is the best dog. He just brightens my day with his dance that he does when he sees his leash and when he learns a new command.  He is the smartest and most loving dog and I feel really grateful that he is my dog.  Thank you!

Trevor (formerly Andy) adopted Feb. 2005

Trevor has become such a joyful addition to our family.  This past month has been a great learning experience and a time of adjustments for the three of us.  We have had the pleasure of having Trevor accompany us on daily walks, park outings, and a family vacation.  We are proud to be his parents and truly feel like he is proud to be our son. Thanks ACR!

Gabe (right) adopted February 2005

We just wanted to tell everyone that Gabe is doing wonderfully.  You'd never believe that he is the same dog that was rescued in late January (abused and weighing just 25 lbs).  He's now 60 lbs. and has a great temperament and personality.  He loves playing with his "brother" Max. He craves loving from everyone.  He is such a pleasure and a really great addition to our family.  Max, by the way, was also adopted thru Athens Canine Rescue, about 1-1/2 yrs. ago.  We've been blessed with 2 great buddies.

Dooley (formerly Rocky) adopted January 2005

Dooley is doing great.  He has settled in and made himself at home.  He has brought so much joy to us, I can't imagine not having him.  He truly is the dog made for us.  I have told so many people about Dooley and how much we love him that they are asking for the website that we found him.  I always explain that they can look in the paper and get any dog they want, but there is nothing like adopting one that really needs a home and will appreciate it.  You and your organization have changed my life with Dooley and my heart about how important people like you and your organization are.  I can never thank you enough!

Handsome & Gretel, adopted January 2005

The pups have adjusted very well. Handsome, Gretel and the girls stayed outside playing all day yesterday. They had a blast. Handsome has been his mischievous self :-) He has been happy as can be. He loves to run, and run some more around the yard. Stopping only for some water, or to pounce on Gretel, and roll in the grass. They are something else. They are definitely a pair not to be separated. Thanks for being so helpful, and wonderful!!! We appreciate it.
