Happy Tail for Svetlana!

admin — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 02:35:11 +0000

We adopted Brenna over a month ago now and renamed her Svetlana. Adopting her was one of the greatest decisions we have made. She brings a smile to everyones face and loves everyone she meets.

Our other dog has been kind of lonely since our room mate took his dog when he moved. Lana has been a great companion for him and keeps him on his toes. They play all the time, sometimes she wants to play longer than he wants to! They even cuddle now and it is sooo darn cute as he has never loved another dog that much.

She also now has learned how to sit, shake, lay down, roll over, crawl and we are working on playing dead.

She is VERY smart and picks up quickly on things. She is already 4 months old, weighs 21 lbs and thinks she is a lap dog. There is no better place for her than being in our lap! She grows bigger every single day and gets cuter every day too!

We love her more than life and she makes every day a great adventure.

Thank you 4 Luv of Dog for giving us this bundle of joy she is the sweetest girl ever!!

Happy Tail for Bones!

This is Bones, along with Snowflake. Bones came to us just about 2 weeks ago by way of 4 luv of Dog Rescue. He has fit in perfectly with our family. He has become my son’s shadow and he and Snowflake have a blast playing together. We are so happy to have him! We want to thank 4 Luv of Dog Rescue, for giving us the chance, to give Bones his new forever home.

Happy Tail for Ginger!

admin — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 03:13:26 +0000

Miss Ginger came into our house as a foster puppy in early February. She was scared, skinny and absolutely adorable. It did not take our family long to fall head over feet in love with her. She quickly blossomed into a confident, smart, funny puppy! After having her in our home for over a month we realized we could not imagine life without her. Making the decision to add her as a member of our family has been one of the best that we have made. Ginger is a perfect fit in our family, she comes to work with me every day and loves socializing with all of the people and dogs there.Ginger is wonderful with our 2 kids and our resident dog. She is such a clown! She makes us laugh every day. Her favorite toy is a tennis ball and she would play fetch for hours! We think she is aspiring to be a hunting dog! We consider ourselves so lucky that it was our home that she ended up in. We are so looking forward to watching her grow and mature into the amazing dog we know she will be. As I write this her and Aspen (our Germanshorthaired pointer) are zooming around the living room, and I can not imagine her not being here!

We are so grateful to Luv of Dog Rescue and all of their volunteers for everything that they do. Without them we would never have had the opportunity to meet this amazing puppy! Thank you all so much.

Happy Tail for Maeby & Puddy!

admin — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 23:20:27 +0000

Hi! I’m Maeby (formerly Kimmy)! I’m the white and tan pit bull mix and this is my brother Puddy, he’s a brindle pit bull mix. I’m almost 3 years old and such a fun-loving, sweet and goofy girl it’s no wonder my parents fell in love with me when they first met me! I was the first of us puppers to be adopted into this crazy family and I’ve been loving it here! This last summer when my parents brought me into their home, they realized I needed a LOT of exercise so they bought a Springer attachment and taught me how to ride nicely alongside their bike and I absolutely LOVE it! I can run as fast as 20mph! I also love going on walks, swimming, going for car rides, playing with my neighbor friends, going to daycare, taking naps in the sun, playing hide-and-go-seek with my dad, cuddling with anyone who’ll let me, playing catch, the list is really endless. I’m also SUPER smart and like to secretly push my parents’ buttons and see what all they’ll let me get away with. It took my parents quite a while to catch onto this and after going to 3 obedience class sessions they’re learning how to stand up and say no to my adorable puppy eyes…I’m actually ok with this, that game was getting kind of old.

When I first got here I met my feline siblings, Murphy and Zaney. They’re super rad but they aren’t much fun to play with. They’ll just slap me if I lick them in the face or try to play with them. Murphy will play with me sometimes, but he gets mad at me pretty easily so playtime never lasts very long. Mom and dad soon realized that I would probably benefit from another canine buddy (and I heard them whispering that Murphy and Zaney threatened to pack up their cat nip and move out if I kept trying to play with them), so just a couple months ago they set up a playdate with Puddy. His foster mom was MY foster mom…such a small world! We totally hit it off and next thing I knew we had a sleepover and he never left! I am so in love with my brother, he’s the coolest dog in the world. We’re the best of friends! Mom and dad say we’re soul-mates, but I don’t know what that means.

Now that my sister has talked your ear off, I’ll step in and say a few words…hi, I’m Puddy (formerly Isaac) and I’m about 4 years old. I’m a super chill, calm, happy, well-mannered dog and I’ve been with this crazy family since February. I’ve been having so much fun learning new things, going for walks with my sister, sleeping in the sun, chewing on antlers, and destroying toys. My all-time favorite thing to do is cuddle with my new sister and my new parents. Life has been pretty wonderful so far.

Lately they’ve been taking me and Maeby to this place called Red River North Dog Obedience Club on Monday nights and I’ve been learning how to sit, stay, lay down, walk nicely on the leash, and many more things! It’s been a lot of fun but sometimes it’s hard for me to sit still and learn…I’m just such a happy wiggle-butt I can hardly contain my excitement when I have to wait for a treat!

Well, we just wanted to stop by and say thank you so much for giving us a second chance at a happy life and for all you do for dogs like us! Mom and dad are always saying mushy stuff like “I can’t imagine life without you!” and “We couldn’t be luckier to have dogs that love each other so much!”. Thanks again, we’re all grateful for 4 Luv of Dog Rescue!

These two are the love of our lives, thanks for all you do! Adam & Dana Holscher

Pug Puppies Ready for Adoption!

admin — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 13:33:58 +0000

Our Pug puppies who came to us a little over two months ago with Demodex Mange are ready to find their forever homes! We will be taking applications now through Saturday for Gladys, Ivy, Gizmo and Mohawk. Once they are moved to pending we will no longer be accepting applications. Our volunteers will look through all of the applications with the foster parents of the Pugs to find the best homes for these little guys. Please be patient. We will be in touch with everyone who applied. If your application doesn’t get selected we encourage you to apply again when another sweet face steals your heart.

The top pictures were taken when they came to the rescue 2 months ago & the bottom pictures are current.
