Charlie's Happy Ending

Charlie is a wonderful addition to our family. He is feisty but loves to curl up and nap. Charlie also likes to be close to his family. He is very inquisitive and loves to chew on his bones. Charlie has made several new doggy friends in the neighborhood. We are so thankful to the CSAC for looking after Charlie and for letting us adopt him into our family.

Penelope's Happy Ending

We adopted Pippa (formerly Penelope) in December of 2014.  She has been a wonderful addition to our family.  However, don’t ask Casey and Siena our 12 year old cockers as they may give you a different answer if they could.  She has the sweetest temperament!  Pippa is snuggly and gives lots of cuddles and kisses and is full of puppy energy.  As a family, we feel privileged to have the opportunity to care for Pippa and provide a loving home for her for the rest of her life. We are grateful to CSAC and all they do to rescue these sweet dogs and set them on their way to second chance to a better life.  Pippa is our second rescue from CSAC our first rescue was Casey five years ago and he his my lover boy!!  Thank you CSAC from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to adopt both Pippa and Casey as we could not imagine our lives without them.

Stan's Happy Ending


Stan, now Andy is doing fantastic!  He is a wonderful part of our family! His older "sister" Missy, definitely treats him as a little brother. She keeps him in line!  Just don't notice when they're cuddled on the couch side by side for nap times!  When it's time to run outside to see friends, they run along the fence side by side, or sit in the shade together.  As the smaller one, she has to let him know at times she's the boss! Andy eggs it on. I think he likes the game!  He loves his evening walks. He is positive there is a bunny under every bush! The great hunter is learning to "let it go"! He loves to chase bugs and eat them. Fireflies in the evening are more fun than a puppy can stand! We are working on that. Such a puppy!  He loves to chew bones, play pull, and jump! Fetch is ok, but pull is much more fun! He actually is quite the goat. He loves to chew paper, and be chased to get it! Although it is a delightful game to him, mom worries that it isn't such a good game!  We love our little boy! He's one adorable addition to our family!

In Memory of Bart...

I had him for almost 9 years.  He was a sweet soul.  His tail never stopped wagging and was a true velcro Cocker.  He loved everyone and everyone loved him!!!  He used to whine at the vets office, if he couldn't meet another animal.  I think that his heart took up his abdomen because it was always full of love and sweetness.  I will miss him terribly.

Lucky Olsen

In Memory of Lucky

It is with a heavy heart that I report Lucky has passed away from heart failure.  She died not long after turning 11.

Lucky's Original Happy Ending...

Lucky (formerly Hayley) is now 10 1/2 years and doing great. We adopted her when she was only about 3 months old in June (2004). We found out through genetic testing that Lucky is a perfect 50/50 mix of Pomeranian and Cocker Spaniel. She always gets compliments on how cute she is, and every halloween kids spend a long time petting her. She loves children, especially babies.  You have to watch her because she will not stop licking a baby's face! Her favorite toys are sticks and soft squeaky toys. She is a very spoiled girl and loves attention and going for long walks. She loves to play in the snow and chase rabbits and squirrels. She is in good health aside from a heart condition which is being managed very well by medication. She shows almost no signs of her age and she keeps on loving life and we keep on loving her! She is a staple in the family and we can't imagine ever being without her.

Winston's Happy Ending

Homecoming was a little rough the first day due to Winston's apprehension and fear toward our one year old yellow lab Willie. Willie just loved Winston and wanted to play like crazy however Winston was a little unsure and every time he looked at Willie he growled and showed his teeth. I kept them separated and each day introduced them again and again in small doses and now Winston is no longer showing fear of Willie. They even played yesterday (Winston on a leash) for 20 minutes. I'm confident in due time, Winston and Willie will be the best of friends!

Other than that, I cannot say enough about what a joy Winston is. He is calm, quiet, sweet, and completely house broken! He does have some skin allergies but takes his medication and enjoys his baths! He sleeps every night at the foot of my 11 year old daughter's bed and rides happily in the car to take the kids to and from school.

Winston is a wonderful dog and I'm so happy we have been given the opportunity to give him a loving home.
