Lila (fka Butternut) was adopted in December 2022. Her adoptive dad shared this cute photo and wonderful "pupdate" about her:
"We have renamed her Lila. She is a very happy and loving pup, who as been a great addition to our home. Lila is a little bigger at 60 lbs at her last vet visit. We were keeping an eye on Buttercup for a while, mostly out of curiosity. Maybe we should have them meet. Lila is very healthy and active. She has a ton of energy and always wants to play. She can get a little wound up, but will calm down if it is not appropriate to play. We walk 2x per day. She does like to chew things that are left around (usually when she is alone, she plays with her toys when we are around) and likes to dig quite a bit. She listens rather well and we did take her to an obedience class that was 6 weeks long. She listens fairly well overall, but she can be a little stubborn. She wants to be near us as much as possible. She gives hugs and loves just saying hi. She loves leaning on people when she says hi. She loves everyone and has gotten along with all dogs she has met. She likes to put her head on the shoulder of front seat passengers while she is on a car ride (see pic). I added a few recent pictures of her. We have not done a DNA test yet but if we do, we will share it with you. Not knowing is kinda fun because people try to guess what kind of dog she is. We are so pleased that we were able to rescue her!"
Check out the cute photo of 3 ARWOB alumni pups that were adopted by the same family. Left to right is Peaches (fka Curry) who was adopted in April 2023, then Buddy (adopted May 2022), and Coco Puff (adopted Dec 2019). We love repeat adopters!
Coco and Dixie (fka Bunny) were adopted together in April 2023. We received this wonderful "pupdate" from their adoptive mom:
"Coco and Bunny are doing great. They are thriving and growing. We have renamed Bunny to Dixie and she is 15 pounds, Coco is 13 pounds. They are super active and love to play with each other as well as chew on all their different chew toys. They will begin puppy training this Tuesday! Looking forward to working with them. We are working on routines as well so they know and for puppies they are doing well. The family is all in love with them and they love to snuggle with them!"
Handsome Bobby's adoption was finalized in March 2023 after going on a foster-to-adopt trial in February with a family that has adopted many kitties from ARWOB in the past. We are always thrilled when a repeat adopter comes back to ARWOB to adopt another one of our rescues! Here is what Bobby's adoptive mom has to say about the situation. He is BFFs with Saint, an ARWOB alumni and it sounds like it's a perfect match:
"We adopted Bobby in the middle of February, 2023. It was the best thing we could have done. He is sweet, loving and really playful. He loves to cuddle and sit in laps. Which is what we wanted. We had adopted Saint in the beginning of July 2022. He is really sweet and loving and has more energy than our older cats. He drove them crazy, so when we brought home Bobby everyone was relieved. Saint and Bobby are best friends and keep each other busy. The older cats play with them when they want, and then are left alone when they are done playing. Bobby is pretty big and it is funny to see him play like a kitten (which he is). Bobby is huge and Saint is kind of small so they make a funny looking couple of friends."
Beatrix (fka Betty) was adopted in February 2023. We received this wonderful update from her adoptive mom. She has become BFFs with her new feline brother Bo. We are so happy for her! Here is what her new mom has to say about her:
"Hi! Beatrix has settled so nicely in our family, it’s like she’s been here all along. We were not expecting her and Bo to become so bonded, but they are literally joined at the hip. They’re with each other all day long whether they are chasing each other like crazy through the house, getting into things like a pair of naughty toddlers or licking each other and sleeping in a big pile. She sleeps in bed with us every night, and sits next to me on the couch while I do work during the day and even snuggles up to our children. We are so lucky to have her, thank you guys for everything!"
