Hello!

I adopted a dog from you a month ago and wanted to let you know how we are doing. I adopted an eight month old Rottweiler mix (he was named Potato Cake, but we renamed him Dax) and we couldn't love him more! He's already come such a long way in the month that we've had him and he's adapted so quickly to us. He is now housebroken, knows several tricks already (he loves giving us his paw) and he walks pretty well on a leash. We even have a backpack for him to wear on our walks to tire him out quicker! He loves his toys (of which he has plenty), loves to play soccer with us and as playful as he is he still loves to cuddle. For his first Christmas he already had his own stocking and ornaments, too, along with a couple of presents. We start obedience classes with him this weekend and we can't wait. He's already such a good dog and a quick learner and we are excited about taking him camping with us this summer.

Thank you SO much for taking such good care of him while he was waiting for his Forever Home. He is so trusting and friendly that it's hard to believe he was picked up as a stray and I know that a lot of it is due to your staff and the care and attention he was given there. Everyone I met there has been so nice and thoughtful and I can tell they genuinely care for the animals and their well-being. I attached some of the many pictures of him and I hope you enjoy
