Happy Tails

  Here is Decoy (formerly known in 4 Luv as Claude)! He stole our hearts from the moment we met him. We took him home on Memorial Day and it was hardly more than 24 hours and we were emailing 4 Luv to say that there...

I just wanted to update you on one of your rescues, Indy! He is absolutely the best thing that ever happened to our family (well, maybe except our grandbaby) and we just love him to pieces.   Things started out a bit rocky. He had a terrible...

We are sooooo happy with out adoption from 4luvofdog!!! We had lost our Malamute several years ago and it was quite a journey to decide when we were ready for another dog. I perused the website for several months, looking for the right fit for...

This happy tail is a 2-fer :-).  We had two dogs already and were not particularly looking for another when I came across a picture of 10 adorable pittie pups on 4 Luv of Dog's Facebook page.  One stood out...

Back of summer 2012 I was building/kennel volunteer not looking to foster or even thought about adding another dog to my pack at the time. However, at the end of my shift, we had a few dogs come in and at the time there was...

We couldn’t be more thrilled to be blessed with adopting Jetta (formally Nola)! We lost our dog over a year ago and can’t believe how well she has filled the empty hole in our hearts. She really is amazing! Very calm and mellow but easily...

Hello I’m Emmett and I have recently been adopted into a loving family! After four days of being fostered from the Martin’s they finally decided to Adopt Me! I am so excited to live in my forever home with this wonderful family. I am an...

Hi, my name is Clyde and I'm the black Pug in the picture.  Lying next to me is my new big brother Herculez.  We're relaxing with our human, Adam, on the couch on a lazy Saturday.  I was adopted in February by Adam and his...

Hey I'm Bentley! When I first came into this rescue I was a WILD CHILD! First I went to NDSU and then I went to the facility. I had a couple outings from the facility but nothing ever seemed to stick. Then these two really...

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...

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...

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...

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...

"Hug-a-bull, Love-a-bull and Kiss-a-bull" We adopted our first pit bull 9 years ago and sadly lost him to cancer in January. My husband and I decided that we would adopt again and knew our only choice would be another pit bull.  We saw a picture of...

  Hello from the Jensens! We adopted Nora in February and could not be happier with this little cuddle bug. She is 10 years old but jumps on and off the furniture like a pro. Her favorite activities are belly rubs, going on walks around Concordia...

My name is Jakey and my story should actually be a movie.  My owner; Robert (Bobby) got me when I was about 6 weeks old (in December 2000).  Bobby was in a coma and was not expected to live and I was given to him...

I have been thinking about you guys alot and decided I better send a note before another year goes by.  I just can't tell you how happy and "in love" I am with Gabe (formerly Biscotti).  Everyone who meets him loves him.    Last year we went to Doggie...

My name is Blue and I adopted some nice people as my family the day after Christmas. They have a lot of cats and other dogs, one is a recently adopted dog from 4 Luv of Dog named Trigger! I like my friend Trigger and...

I'm happy to say I found my forever home. I got adopt by a fun loving couple about 4 months ago and now go by Jax (formerly Eli). We all had to learn some lessons like when I get bored I somehow find trouble no...

After almost 17 years we said good-bye to our beloved Memphis on July 5, 2012. Our home seemed to have lost its heart. We weren't ready to adopt so we applied to foster. We planned on having dogs come into our home, work on their training and transition them to...

I'm Annie, a 2 y/o Jack Russell terrier and I've been in my new home since March.  I went through some rough patches before I was rescued and I'm still afraid of loud sounds but parked cars and garbage cans don't bother me any longer. My black cat...

  Our family is so appreciative for 4 Luv of Dog and all that they do. Percy has been a great addition to our family.  Our neighbor was fostering her and we made a connection with her right away. We adopted her in November 2011. The...

  I'll be real honest, I didn't want to foster Sisco.  I was convinced, for some reason, that having a black, older dog would make it harder to get her adopted out to a forever home and we'd be stuck with her forever.  I wanted some cute,...

We have had our dog, Finkle, for almost a year now and could not be happier! My Husband and I began looking at adoption sites because we felt ready to add a member to our family. We both grew up in the country with medium-larger...

 My fiancé and I had been talking about adopting a dog for about six months before we found Sookie.  As soon as we saw her on the 4 Luv of Dog Rescue website we knew we had to meet her.  It just so happened that a few...

  I just wanted to say "Thank You" for bringing Niko into our lives. He quickly made himself at home and our other dog, Mickey, did not want to admit that he liked him and ignored him for the first couple weeks. Over the last couple...

I'm one of the dog trainers at PetSmart and it was one of the Saturdays that 4 Luv of Dog was in our store with their pups that needed be homes. I love moving among the dogs and saying hi, giving them pets, or treats. About...

We adopted Jasmine (Jazzy for short) in early March (formerly Cheyenne) and we just love her!! She hit it off instantly with our Rottweiler/German Shepherd, Jack--they are best buddies! Jazzy is so playful, affectionate, and lovable and is absolutely great with kids! She loves everyone...

It was about six months ago that I got a pleading e-mail from our Owner Surrender Coordinator about a dog in need of a foster.  This wasn't unusual since we do a lot of owner surrenders and are always trying to take more and more...

Bandit came into our lives as a foster almost 11 months ago and my kids and I will never be the same!!  A year and a half ago Bandit was hit by a car and broke his back right leg. Well the rescue vet in Oklahoma...

I adopted Skye, now named Cricket, after her bouncy hoppy nature after losing my first dog Berkley to leukemia. Cricket and I have since gone on many adventures together. From learning to bike, swim, become a running partner, jump into my arms, and kind of...

We are so grateful for 4 Luv of Dog and all that they do.  We adopted Duke about a year and a half ago and it has been the best experience!  We thank 4 Luv of Dog and Duke's foster mom, Susie every day!  We...

Hi my name is Deon!! I used to go by Leon, so it hasn't been too hard of a change for me. I have been with my new Mom and Dad for 8 months now and am so comfortable that they get to see my...

When my boyfriend and I originally started looking for a dog to adopt Havana caught my eye right away, it really tugged at my heart-strings knowing she had been waiting so long (about 2 years) for a forever home. The main factor that kept us from looking...

The first week of March this past year, was a difficult one to say the least. My dad, who I had been estranged with for most of my life, was on his final days after a short, but brutal battle with cancer. My husband and...

It was a chance meeting February 28th 2012  we stopped at PetSmart to get turtle supplies I had my 5 year old with me and we went to "look" at the dogs I have always loved dogs and have always gravitated towards the larger ones. ...

  We added Vinny to our family last November after fostering him for close to a year.  He has come a long way since his rough start in life and continues to impress us every day. He fits in with our family perfectly and keeps are other, older dog,...

I am writing to tell you how happy I am with my new family, the Magnuson’s!  John, Pam and Oriana have shown me that there are people in the world who truly love pets!  I’ve only been living here in Fergus Falls, MN for about...

I have fostered with 4 Luv of Dog for over four years and had 40+ dogs come in and out of my home.  It wasn't until Dane stepped foot into my house that I knew he was "the one".  He is as gorgeous as they...

Just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to 4LuvofDog for introducing us to our two best friends! Courage (previously known as Sawyer) came to us in November of 2010. I knew right away when I saw his picture on the website that...

Our house was lonely after our last dog died a year and a half ago. Nutmeg was a golden retriever cross rescue dog, and we had such good luck with her that I thought I ought to adopt again. So many great dogs available! It...

Thank you 4 Luv of Dog Rescue for bringing Buddy into our lives!  We LOVE him!  His stage name is now Jose Cuervo.  His Momager thought this was a good career move for him.  Jose (the Chihuahua) is pictured with his sister Martini and brother Peanut.  *All...

  After foster-failing THREE TIMES (equalling 4 dogs) I thought that for the sake of my family, I should probably stop fostering.  Then I went to meet a transport full out pound dogs from Bismarck.  First off of the transport came a basset/chihuahua/freak of nature puppy,...

  Thank you so much for rescuing our dogs, Stewie and Midge. Today, when I was walking them, a young lady pulled up and yelled "nice dogs". I decided this was a good time to let you know how much we enjoy them. Stewie is a...

Last November (2011) I was able to make my acquaintance with Ozzy, a little apricot/caramel colored Cock-A-Poo. When I met him he was cuter than I saw in his picture on the For Luv Of Dog website. We hit it off right away, but he...

  We adopted Marley back in May-his name was JR but the first family that took him named him Marley so we kept the name for him. He had a very hard start at life and went through 2 homes and a lot of shuffling around...

 We adopted Lila, aka Esmerelda.  She is just delightful!  She is goofy, energetic and full of love and wiggles.  She has learned to sit, shake, lie down and crawl.  She is a total foodie, so is very trainable.  Anything for a treat.  Plus, she is...

We adopted Fozzy at the beginning of February and he is one of the sweetest dogs we have ever met. He is incredibly well trained and we haven't had any accidents in the house or behavioral problems. He loves to snuggle and he and my...

  Here is Priah, a boxer mix, with her sister Bella, sleeping in the living room.  We met Priah the first weekend in May and invited her into our home a few days later.  She was blessed with a loving foster home and we are blessed...
