Vincent was adopted in April 2023 by a lovely family that has adopted several ARWOB rescues, including another dog named Rico (adopted in April 2017) and two kitties in November 2021. Here is the lovely “pupdate” they sent to us about how Vincent and Rico have become best buddies:
“He's doing great. He has brought out the puppy in our 6 year old retriever mix. His big brother Rico is also an ARWOB alumni. We’ve had him for 6 years. We enjoy seeing both “puppies” play for hours. They play like the best of friends but he's been very cordial and well mannered around my elderly mom and the few house cats that are brave to face him. He will be attending his first puppy class this Sunday. Thanks for checking in.”
Sweet Vita was found in Baja Mexico as a stray, running around in traffic, looking lost and afraid. She has come a long way since that time and we are happy to report that we received a wonderful "pupdate" from her adoptive mom. Her mom adopted Vita in October 2022 and here is what she has to say about her:
"Thank you for checking in! We have been working with a trainer and we are learning together...the isolation anxiety/separation anxiety has improved a lot and we are enjoying "firsts " together. She is such a sweetheart and adored by everyone who meets her. So grateful to have her in my life! She has insurance, a trainer and many of my friends are vets, so she is covered! Thank you again for the opportunity to adopt her...she replaced a hole in my heart with loss of my last dog."
Handsome Valentino was adopted in July 2022 and he is doing really well in his new home with his loving family. Here is what his adoptive mom has to say:
"Valen’Tino’ is a joy… and a much loved addition to our family. He provided us with plenty of laughs and never fails to surprise. An absolute and much appreciated blessing in our household, in which he of course reigns supreme!"
Sweet Valentina was adopted in April 2022. She is an indoor kitty, but her adoptive mom keeps her safe on back yard adventures with a leash/harness! Here is what she has to say about this little princess:
"She is doing great! She’s a little brat but we love her! She is getting along with my 2 dogs. She is so adventurous just always all over the house. We bought her a harness and started walking her outside our backyard, she loves it."
We received a spectacular update about Mufasa (fka Vince) and Fiona (fka Pita). They were adopted together in August 2021 and are very happy in their new home! Their adoptive Mom had this heartwarming update for us:
"We absolutely love our kitties! We renamed them Mufasa (Fasi) and Fiona. They settled right in with us and each other. We woke up the morning after getting them and they were both snoozing on the bed with us. They are well socialized and friendly to our friends, which was very important to us, and are well behaved and excellent house guests. We were super impressed with the whole adoption process. Your agency, Alondra, and your relationship with PetSmart was hassle free, and I have recommended this to many people in the last couple months and will continue to sing your praises. We had tragically lost our two senior cats within a week of each other a couple months before the adoption so they had big shoes to fill and broken hearts to mend. We're so glad we got the pair of them, and can't imagine not having them to enjoy. Thank you all so very much!"
